TIE Baltimore Sun makes a good point
when it says in reference TO the charge
those who are opposed TO Mr.. Cleveland that
he is only strong in the States which never
give a Democratic majority: Year after
year the Democrats of these States gather to-
gether in conventions. nominate their tickets
and vote for them without any stimulating
hope or expectation of success, ami
mated by q devotion to principle that
makes heroes of them. They knowingly
and deliberately cut themselves off from
oil chance of preferment in their State and
local governments Similar devotion was
exhibited by the Republican party in the
days of Fremont. but for a generation in
every State where the Republicans have
been deprived of State patronage they have
beer sustained and fed upon the more
lucrative Offices of the Federal Government
OF course there is equal devotion 10 prin-
ciple exhibited by Democrats in Democratic
States. but the party which is in the ascen-
dency always attracts to itself horde who
are party men for revenue only and. who too
often, by their devotion TO Office seeking and
politics as a business. gain control of the
party machinery and direct its policy and
measures against the views and wishes OF
those who are truer Democrats"

THE GRAsPING NEW YORK IMPORTERS.

That the case of the coffee importers OF
Richmond against the United States and
Brazil Mail Steamship Company has been
strongly espoused by the press of this city
and its commercial bodies goes without say
ing.
q But in few instances has question Of
this character raised primarily in the interest
of one community aroused such unanimous
and vigorous support in every other COM
munity 10 whose attention IL has been
brought AS indicating the widespread in
terest felt and the fact that most important
commercial principle is involved. we publish
in our columns to-day and call attention TO
the strong resolutions adopted by both the
Associated Wholesale Grocers and the
Merchants Exchange of st. Louis. organiza-
tons corresponding TO our Wholesale Grocers
Association and our Chamber Of Commerce.
IL looks as if the complaint of the trade here
had struck the keynote of the situation aud had
voiced the sense of wrong keenly felt by most
centres in the South and West against the in
tolerant and grasping disposition of New
York importers. With the unanimous sup
port the Richmond importers have received in
their reasonable and just demands it is hoped
and believed prompt and full redress and pro-
lection will be awarded them.
