Convinced of the Latter's Una
Variability, He Declares for a
Western Man.
Louisville Courier-Journal Dem.)
The Courier-Journal has no likes or
disllkes in this matter. 1t has no pref
erence for one man, or set of men, over
another. 1t has always recognized Mr..
Cleveland as its chief. 1t will continue
to do this whilst Mr.. Cleveland carries
the flag OF tariff reform with any show
OF saving 1t from capture. But we cam
not blind our eyes to the state of things
in the state of New York. AS we have
repeatedly said. to nominate Mr. Cleye-
land III the face of the organized oppo-
slt!on OF the regularly organized DemOc-
racy OF New York would be to invite de-
feat. 1t would be clearly suicidal, and
we may be sure that Mr. Cleveland
would no more permit it than we would
desire it.
The real question is this: With Mr..
Cleveland out of the way. and by force
OF circumstances familiar to us all, Gil
cumStanceS both in and out of congress,
great idea diSsipated and great i'm
pulse loSt-with nobody left to hoist the
banner of the true belief even as Moses
lifted up the serpent in the wilderness
what is TO prevent the nomination of
MI. Hill, and his subsequent defeat,
through divisions and apathy i'll our
own ranks and straight-out revenue
reform ticket, which will surely take
the field against him, carrying off thou
sands and tens of thousands of ardent
tariff reformers in New England, in
New York, and in all of the doubtful
states?
We take no stock in the abuse which
has been SO cOpiOuSiy heaped upon Mr..
Hill. He is as good Democrat as Mr.
Cleveland. and better politician. He
served his party as faithfully in 1883 as
any mau could serve it. All that is said
to the contrary is pure Invention and
calumny. We have not the least doubt
that If he were elected president he
would make a safe, sound and wise
Democratic president. just as be made a
safe. sound and wise Democratic gov
ernor. The assaults upon his character
made by so many Democrats, echoing
the hatred he has earned from the Re-
publIcanS by Democratic victories. is
creditabie neither to their love OF Justice
nor to their good sense
Mr.. Hill is a young man, and has the
world before him. He is an able man,
and with or without the presidency is
sure to make career. and great one.
But for the reasons given we can not
think him the most available nominee
at this time; and. consequently. we must
reiterate what we have said so often
that, in Our opinion. when we leave
Cleveland we are bound to leave New
York and come West for candidate.

ELECTION METHODS.

The Democrats in Michigan are the
targets for much Republican indigna-
ton Oh account Of their adoption of the
district system i'll the choice OF presi-
dental electors. 1t is not expected that
heated partisans will credit them with
eny laudable motives in their action.
but that is immaterIal. They have at
tracted attention to palpabe and ser1-
Gus defect In the method of aScertaininp
the popular will. and. if this leads to the
adoption of more equitable plan, they
will have ample vindication. Just at
present their action seems to the par
tisans on the other side a great outrage,
because it inSures a division of the vote
of the state approximately in proportion
to the strength of the two parties. There
would be no room for complaint on party
grounds if it were not assumed that the
state would be carried by the Republi-
cans. This is based upon former condi-
tlons. and not the present ones. At the
last state election the Democrats had
about 10000 majority, and it is fair to
presume that it is doubtful, at least, for
this year. There is no doubt as to the
constitutionaity of the district system.
The only variation in the Michigan ac
ton from the frequent early practice is
i'll the division of the state for the sena-
torlal electors. The distinguished iu-
1st, Hon. THOMAS NJ. COOLEY. discusses
the subject i'll recent legal publica-
ton, without any, intlmation that the
legislature had exceeded its powers
In the act i'll question. He gives q his.
foricai review of the subject, anu reaches
the conclusion that there should be
uniformity in method in the states. He
would have the requirement placed in
the constitution. He quotes HILDRETH
as expressing the opinion that the dis
trict system gave the fairest popular
test by approaching the nearest TO a
direct vote. The states that EMPLOYED
1t changed to the state vote because it
gave them as states less advantage by
the possible division Of their electors.
1t was a question of eXpediency, then.
that dictated the adoption of the
more prevalent methods. There is but
one serious objection to the district
plan. 1t undoubtedly leads to gerry
manders in the appointments when
they are left TO the partisan legislatures
No acceptable method has yet been de-
yIsed for obyiating this. Recent ex-
perience has shown that parties are
quite alike in their inability to resist
opportunities afforded in this direction.

Why They Are Prophetic.
1T would be very easy to pursue tn,
subject further. but enough has been
said to show that the so-caiie6
prophetic Dreams" like all others,
have their origin either i'll impressions
made upon some one or more of the spe-
cial senses or i'll recOllections of pre-
vious impressions. We are therefore
obliged to dismiss, as without any foun-
dation in fact, the notion that
dreams have anything of the nature OF
true prophecy about them. AS to other
alleged extraordinary dreams. such as
those indicating the occurrence of
events of which the person has 10
actual knowledge. can only say that
without denying the possibility of such
occurrences, they have not yet been
shown to be real. AS have said before
IL other relations, there is nothing i'm
possible outside the domain of mathe-
mates, but there are a great many
things apparently possible which have
not yet been satisfactorily established,
and until proven it is we'll to hold our
acceptance of their reality in allegiance.

AGAINST LABOR UNIONS.
Serious Charge Against the
Worlds Fair Management.

-
PITTsBURG. Feb. 14.-The American
Federation of Labor has grievance
against the worlds fair management,
and if it is not settled that organization
declares that it W ill boycott the exhibit
don. Vice President William A. Car
ney,of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers returned yeSter-
day from New York, where he had been
attending a meeting of the executive
council of the Federation. He said
some important matters were acted
upon, among which was the discrimina-
ton now being shown by the worlds
fair management against labor unions.
In letter to the council President
KliVer. of the Brotherhood of Carpen-
ters, alleges that no man can get work
Oh the grounds unless he is en-
ployed by the agent of the construction
department. A representative of any
labor union cannot get pass admitting
him TO any of the buildings. If he gets
in he is at once elected by the police.
He also alleges that the eight-hour plan
is being violated, and that union man
cannot get employment as building in
spector, gatekeeper or watchman.
The council instructed President
Gompers to write to the chief of the de-
partment of construction to abate the
evils complained of, and, in the event of
the refusal to do SO, he is empowered to
call on all Workingmen'S organizations
affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
withdrawing their patronage from the
coming worlds fair at Chicago.
The council has suspicious that the
Nebraska elght-hour law is being vio-
lated, and it accordingly acted as fol-
lows:
The secretary of the Federation is
hereby instructed to call on all work
ingmen and trade organizations of Ne
braska to furnish evidence, under aft
dayitS, as to the violations of the eight
hour law by employers. If such evil
dence is gathered the executive council
will prosecute to final decision A
sum of not more than 100000 will be
appropriated for that purpose.
