. Colorado has but one idea, free coinage of silver
/ J.J. Donavan, of the Colorado delegation, said be
+ fore leaving Chicago: Il don't believe that Harri
son will get more Than Is per cent of the Republi
can votes of Colorado, just because of the siIyel
plank in the platform, The silver plank adopted
by this convention is little better, but not much
and do not believe our candidates poll much
larger proportion of Democratic votes The Third
party is bound to carry the state. We do not like
Cleveland very much are frank to say, but we do
like Stevenson.
As to Missouri Gov. d. R. Francis says: Steven
son suits us thoroughly, although he was not Mis-.
souri's candidate for the second place. His nomi-
nation is gracious concession to that virile Democ-
racy which objects to Republicanism, root and
branch, especially in public places. Cleveland at
tracts different class and most important class;
and, on the whole, do not see how two names
could be put forth which combine so many promi-
ses of success. Cleveland and Stevenson should
sweep the country, and you can at least say that
Missouri will give her customary majority for the
ticket"
The Chicago Times remarks: Prudence will
suggest that every attempt that is reasonable shall
be made to hold, occupy and possess New York, and
twill be the duty of the managers of the canvass to
enter with tremendous earnestness of purpose upon
an attempt to carry the states of Indiana Illinois
| Iowa, Wisconsin, and so much of Michigan as may
be possible. Here if success is to be had all the
strife for victory must be most earnest and inelli
gent"
From the st. Louis Republic: Mr.. Hill could not
have united the Democratic party, and his nomina-
ton would have been followed by dsorganization.
Excepting Mr.. Cleveland himself no one is more
popular in Illinois and in the West than Mr.. Steven
SON. Like Mr.. Cleveland he has come up from the
people. He stands for American manhood and
manhood rights; not for money and money privil-
eyes"
From the San Francisco Examiner THE national
| convention in making Grover Cleveland its nomi-
nee acted in response to the demand so widespread
SO enthusiastic and inssent that it could not be
| resisted. This demand had behind it the ardor of
political convictions of the Democratic masses their
confidence in Clevelands ability, probity and
courage and their belief that he, more conspcu-
ously than any other man of the party now before
the country, represents the Democratic policies and
purposes"
From the indianapolis Sentinel 1.-The triumphant
nomination of Grover Cleveland as the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency is marked honor
both to the man and to the party The overwhelm-
ing demand for his nomination is conclusive evil
dence that the masses of the Democratic party ap-
preciate and desire honesty in public life"
From the indianapolis News 1.-THE Democratic
party honored itself by honoring Mr.. Cleveland
with third nomination for the Presidency. From |
every point of view the exPresident was the logical
candidate of his party this year"
From the Cincinnati Enquirer 1.-The will of |
national Democratic convention is sovereign as to |
its party. Questions of propriety and availability |
may enter more or less friendly, into its discussions,
but they cannot enter into the campaign. In the
latter there is but ISSUE but effort-to elect
the ticket which those whom the party delegated
for that purpose have seen fit to nominate"
From the Richmond Dispatch: I'VE expect Mr..
Cleveland to sweep the country. 1t does not seem
possible that the man who carries New York state
in his hands and shows in all other states
strength never before manifested by any man can
be in any danger of defeat at the bellot box. Har
rison lacks the qualities and characteristics which
have made Cleveland what he is to the popular
mind. So Harrison is certain to be defeated as
Cleveland Is to be elected. We shall not have a
repetition of 1885, but of the victory of General
Jackson in 1892
From the Boston Herald, Independent. "Cleve-
land starts out with many manifest advantages.
He represents character, he represents dignity, he
represents strength he represents more-represents
principle. No man a candidate for the Presiden-
cy has stood more distinctly for principle than has
he. No man has been more fearless in avowal of |
more steadfast in maintaining the |
views upon public questions which he has promul-
gated His course upon currency has been courage
Ous effective and useful in the face of Democratic
threats and Republican reproach for his fidelity to
ali iS toNya IF /
strength against danger to the business interests of
he country from wrong legislation here He is =
more identified with the great movement for tariff
eform that is revolutioniZng the nation than any +
other man." .
From the Chattanooga (Tenn) Times: mir. =
cleveland gave the South its first chance since the

From the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald: Now h
the time for all Democrats to get together and h
york together. The nomination of Stevenson for
econd place greatly strengthens the ticket and q
ives hope of Illinois," b
From the New York Times, Independent 1.-THE :,
anddate of the party enters upon this new contest
ronger in every respect personal to himself NJ
ronger in his broadening experience, in his ripper
Jews in his popularity, in the respect he commands
the land, and he is stronger in respect
the cause he leads. The issue his candidacy N
lakes and emphasizes, the issue already put for ii
ard in the nomination and platform of the Mime a.
polls convention and eagerly welcomed by tne 10
at Chicago, is one that his party will
yht for in circumstances of the greatest encourage
ent and with every prospect of success" h,
From the New York News, Tammany: Demo -,
ats do not sulk after convention. They often a.
ave divergent views on minor points of party poll ~
= and there is often great difference of opinion as az
the availability of candidates for no mination. n,
ut when the platform has been adopted and the h.
,minees selected the leaf is turned the book is ~
osed the past from that moment is only history. of
epublicans who imagine that the attitude of GER br
in Democrats in this State prior to the convention N
ominous of i'll to Mr.. Cleveland simply make the on
istake of viewing Democratic situation from ho
publican standpoint" -
The New York Post: 1.-THE nomination of Mr..
eveland is the most encouraging political event
hch has occurred in this country since the NJ
'ery patriotic American, matter what his poli m
affiliations may be, has reason to rejoice it, 90
it is triumph for methods of select bo
g presidential candidates and an immediate, and IN
trust permanent, uplifting of the level of m,
litcal discussion. 1t gives assurance that the on
mpaign before will be of the most credit no
lie ever conducted in this country. The nomina no,
N of no other Democratic candidate could have n,
ne this. for without disparagng the merits of Va,
y of those who were mentioned in opposition to :.
. Cleveland, it is to be said that his personal die
aracter stands for more in the estimation of the a.,
ople than that of any other man of his time" Oh.
