THE OUTLOOK.
From a Reliable Democratic Ne7OS-
PAPER.

and who nave not mad their Judge
ment warped by personal interest,
will find it difficult to look upon
the action of the national demo-
cratic convention as other than
grave party mistake. Probably
the feature of the Cleveland adj
ministration that will be most
hurtful to Cleveland as candidate
was his unnecessarily harsh and
often spiteful vetoes of special
pension bills. No doubt many
pensions have been granted that
have little merit, but the Ameri-
can people have, and ought to
have, a warm place in their hearts
for the men whose suffering pre-
vented the overthrow of the union.
1t is, however, in a party sense
that this nomination seems to be
most ill-advised.
The same men who controlled
and managed the political fortunes
of the Cleveland administration
are in control Of the present
Cleveland campaign. Many, in
deed most of them, could not with
truth be called democrats, and
thousands of true and loyal demo-
Gratis remember them and their
work with disappointment and
bitterness. Maybe these loyal
democrats will carry banners and
torches again in a campaign which
means nothing for them if they
win: Of this only the future can
make answer; but it is venturing
a little to assert that it is an unwise
party politics to require it. Party
loyalty deserves party recognition.
In the light of the past, as we'll as
in the light of Cleveland's renomi-
nation and the forces that COM
passed it, this newspaper cannot
in justice to the loyal democrats
who have SO long supported it
proffer this nomination with any
promises Of future just and de-
served recognition in case Of its
election.
1t is the nomination of the
democratic party at a regularly
constituted national convention
and as such is entitled to the sup
port of all democratic party news
papers. The administration of
Mr. Cleveland was generally
acceptable to the country and there
is no question but that, if reelected
he would give the nation a safe
and ecomical administration.
This newspaper has not and does
not now regard the nomination as
wise one, but it submits to the
judgement of the national con-
vention, and will give the ticket
its support.-Nad1Son Democrat.

A recent editorial in the Demo
cratic New York Times contained
the following words: Now the
country is unprecentedly wealthy.
Its debt has dwindled to an in
significant amount, and its creditors
are ready to extend their loans at
two per cent, We have a currency
every dollar of which is worth a
dollar in gold. We have all the
specie we want and can get all
that we may need. We are power
full, rich, prosperous, practically
out of debt. No misinterpretation
of the statement is possible. 1t
amounts to an explicit confession
by leading free trade newspaper
that the United States has pros
pered under Republican rule in a
degree hitherto unparalleled; that
the agricultural, industrial and
financial interests Of the nation are
in thoroughly healthful condition;
and that the free trade prophecies
of inevitable calamity to follow
the enactment of the Mckinley
law were stuff and nonsense.
Would a change in the present
administration better the condition
of things at the present time?
