| ATLANTA, Oct 2O.-In an editorial article to-
morrow the Consultation, under the head Of rs
Mr.. Cleveland n Traitor ?" attacks President
Cleveland's for his attitude toward the De-
mocracy OF New York. IL says:
I'VE will refuse To believe that the man who
has been three times honored by the national
Democracy with its nomination for the highest
ONCE within the gift Of the people and who by
the votes Of the people, ana who by the votes of
the Democrats Of the United States, has been
twice elected 20 that ONCE will be guilty ofsuch
treachery 10 his party rs his sacrifice OF
Of tho Democratic party in New York state
would I've. We confess that We are at loss TO
understand Mr.. Clevelands remarkable and
unprecedented conduct. Instead Of having the
support of the Democratic leaders who are
closest to Mr.. Cleveland. II is q lamentnble fact
that the Democratic candidates In many OF the
Congressional districts in New York and In
Brooklyn are contending against the trench
dous odds Of having not only 10 meet Republl-
can opposition from the front, but TO protect
themselves from Democratic bushwackers In the
rear. The man who has more influence
with this element than any other and
who could have prevented the dissatisiac-
ton and arrangement which has been
nourished by his refusal to disappprove
IL is Grover Cleveland-the same man who re-
ceived the united support OF the Democracy OF
New York two years ago. When David Bennett
Hill entered tho Jreech. closed the ranks OF the
Democracy and led the united forces to grand
triumph to the tune of about 10000 Demo-
cratic majority for Cleveland.
"Will Mr.. Cleveland do for Mr. Hill now what
Mr.. Hill did for Mr.. Cleveland two years ago
1t would be impossible Mt this late day for Mr..
Cleveland to cancel the obligation under which
he should have been placed by Mr.. Hills en-
thusastic work In his behalf two years ago,
from the simple fact that there was never
question as to what Senator Hill would
do ut that time. After three weeks from the day
the nomination for Governor was thrust upon
Mr.. Hill over his protest and by the unanimous
voice OF his party the President remains silent
He has not uttered word which could be con-
strued as an evidence Of his friendship for the
Democratic nominee or token Of his desire
to see his party succeed.
" His silence has been seized by the opposition
TO the Democracy as an evidence of his dlsap- |
prevail Of the work OF the State Convention and |
Of his willingness to sec his party de-
feated. Acting on the belief that this
is the Presidents attitude, the embers |
of discomfort and division have burst into !
flames, and while, of course, at q word |
from the President would go long way toward |
undong the harm that has been done by his de- |
lay, II would be impossible for him to cancel the
disastrous effect resulting from his peculiar |
course.
I'VE cannot believe that Mr.. Cleveland will |
be traitor 10 his party. Surely he cannot be. |
Where is the word that will keep him from be-
ing so regarded ?"
