Mr.. CleveIand's NominatioH-A Glor-

MI. ClcveIand's Nomination-A Glor-
ious Popular Victory.
A glorious victory for the rulership
of the people was won at Chicago this
morning when Grover Cleveland was
made the nominee of the Democratic
party for President of the United
States, in despite of the opposition of
the most powerful political organiza.
ton in the country.
A still more glorious victory will be
won, we implicitly believe, on the
eighth day of next November, when
the people of the United States will
ratify the choice of the Democratic
party and will call Grover Cleveland
once more to the head Of the National
Government.
Differing from his opponent, who is
the nominee of a political machine
and a moneyed clique, Grover Cleve-
land is the candidate of the people at
large. Only a few months ago., he had
against him the voices of the politi-
clans. Many of these have opposed
him to the last ditch. To many others
he is far from being as acceptable as
one whose honor was less stern, whose
rectitude less uncompromising, whose
unselfishness less complete. But the
very characteristics which estranged
from him the self seekers and the
shallow advocates OF a passing expe-
diency, were the qualities which for
titled him in the esteem and the con-
fidence of the country, which caused
thinking and patriotic men of all
ranks and conditions to rise up as his
supporters and his devotees, and
which at last magnified popular de-
mand into popular clamor, and placed
him at the head of the National
ticket at the popular dictation on the
very first vote taken by the repre-
sentatives of the popular will.
And can we now believe that the
people, having effected this splendid
triumph in behalf of gratitude for
high service, in behalf of respect for
Arm adhesion to principle and in be-
half of absolute se~lf-abnegation in
the line of duty. can we believe, we
say, that they will yet abandon the
cause which they have SO magniti-
Gently supported thus far, and permit
an ultimate defeat of their great
leader to render cold and meaningless
the victory already secured?
We refuse to believe this. We have
ment, the popular rectitude and the
popular will. We believe the nation
at-large is as capable as an individual
of adhering firmly and consistently to
principle. We believe that in this
case the people will be found faithful.
In the election of Grover Cleveland
we see a new and splendid era for our
National Government. We see in the
near future the restoration of honesty,
moderation and economy. We see
the overthrow of dangerous tendency
towards Capitalization of power. We
see a brighter era for our trade and
commerce. Above all things we
see the final downfall of the
elements of v~enality and corruption
which have thriven in the Republi-
can party during it's too long lease OF
power, and which have at last reached
such disgracefui ascendancy in the
administration of President Harrison.
The day and the hour offer great
prospects to the Democratic party
and the Nation. Let us all join
hands and hearts, let us put forth all
the power that is in us to make the
|. final victory an overwhelming one.
