It is the duty OF President Cleveland to speak
at once, and with no uncertain sound. In TINS
matter. Ifhe IA as good Democrat a. he as
sumes to be-if he regards the party supremacy
as of more Importance than personal preferences
he should come to the front in this emergency

Mr.. Cleveland Il not the man we take MIN
to be II he does not shortly throw his lnnuence
strongly in support Of harmony ana uniteu
action among the Democrats Of New YORK
State The question at issue there IL one OF
measures. not men. and the whole party IL

Hill is making the fight Of his life. It'll gal

and he deserves to win His enemies are trying
TO make capital against him by asserting that
the Administration is not with him. There 10

Cleveland was among the first to approve OF the

upon him ought to impel him to sound the bugle
call to duty without further delay.
Far. far beyond his merits OF deserts, has he
been honored by the Democratic party. and his
silence now. in view OF the grave peril that
threatens 1t. is supremely selfish and unworthy.
Only an migrate would stab and wound those
who have sustained and elevated him. and that
Cleveland will be unless he ranges himself on
the side OF the Democratic banner carried aloft

From the Baltimore sun.
No Democrat in New York can find any ex-
cuse in Mr. Hills campaign utterances, nor in
his conduct throughout, for refusing to accept
the olive branch and stand shoulder to shoulder
with bis fellow Democratic in frustrating the
