WELL, MR.. cLEVELAND,
ne-ser-ts wsrt ts Knsw whether Iou
Are VITA sr Assinst The-.

From tie AHontd Constitution.
At this distance the contest in New York
seems to have narrowed down to an attack on
the regular Democratic organization and It's
candidate by both the Republicans and the
friends of Mr.. Cleveland. Mr. Everett Wheeler,
the man who has been nominated rs the Gnber-
Material candidate of the Anti-snappers and
MuRwumps is described a. one Of the closest
friends Of Mr.. Cleveland and in complete sym
pathy with all the Presidents views.
The question arises, therefore. as to the at
titude the Administration proposes to occupy
toward the candidate OF the party. Does the
President intend to speak the word that will
put an end to the factional fight that his
friends or his pretended friends propose 10 wage
against the Democratic party In New York;
We have seen ~ stated that Mr.. Cleveland has
already decided TO have nothing TO say or to do
in regard to the contest In New York; that he
proposes 10 hold his hands of and permit events
to take their course. We take the liberty OF
doubling this statement II Mr.. Cleveland con-
tlnues to take any interest whatever in the
Democratic party-the party that has crowned
him with Its highest honors-he cannot fail to
perceive that he cannot take neutral position.
He cannot fail TO remember that Mr.. Hill. the
Democratic candidate for Governor of New
York. laid aside all personal feelings In the
campaign Of s92, and hold the New York or
ganization solidly for Mr.. Cleveland.
The President can surely do as much for the
party as Mr.. Hill did. His obligations, instead
Of being less, are greater His position Is such
that he can put an end to the factional fight in
the party with word. should he fail TO do his
duty-and II is as plain duty as ever public
man had the party will be hurt and Mr.. Cleve-
land himself will not be helped.
We look for the President 10 give prompt and
emphatic expression to his desire that the Dem
ocrats of New York state should give their undi-
vidcd and enthusiastic support TO the candidates
nominated by the party.
Prom the Ne,c Haven Ernias Register
Mr.. Cleveland must know of the conditions
that led to Mr.. Hills nomination. and must ap-
preciate the sacrifices it's acceptance demanded
of him. He cannot remain unmoved by the ac-
ton his friends have taken and the support they
are giving the nominee. We believe he Is great
enough and generous enough to put away pref
udices at time when the life of the party IL at
stake and when the element Of personal ambi-
tion Is reduced to u minimum. We resent,
therefore. the impertinent intimation that Mr..
Cleveland has declined to contribute in any way
to the New York campaign, and that he will
maintain a dignifed silence throughout. We
believe at the proper time that he will be heard
from. and that he will appeal to his supporters
to drop personal reiudicc and factional whims
for the general good Of the party at large.

Why is President Cleveland silent Tor mo-
ment about matter of such great Importance
Why hasn't he spoken out promptly and boldly
and patriotically. like William G. Whitney and
other leading Democrats have done, for the
Democratic tickctr Less than four weeks re-
main until the election. II Mr.. Cleveland is GO
ing to speak at all why withhold his declaration

quencc to the marty, or so much consequence
that he doesn't want them to be known to the
people2 II the President Ia a Democrat and de-
sires the success Of his party in New York. why
not say 20, and thus give spirit and force to the
causeI The Presidents silence in such an emer-
gency appears to be anything but Democratic.

The spectacle of the friends of the regular
Democratic nominees in the State Of New York
going to the President and asking him to say a
few words in favor OF the regular nominations
and asking him to call of the Mugwumps who
are now unsheathing their knives for the De-
mocracy, Is an odd spectacle for Democratic
Administration. Meanwhile Mr.. Cleveland re-
mains exceedingly reticent.
From the Petersburg Duify Inder.AppoaL
There is, humanity speaking, but one danger
ahead of such a candidate, so nominated, and
that Is in adverse influences from without the
State. 1t is in the possible opposition Of the
President OF tho United States. aud everybody
should understand that less than warm and
earnest support is, under the peculiar circum-
stances OF the case, opposition. That is the only
! danger. Whether II Ia a great or small danger,
and whether or not even this difficulty shall be
removed from the course. few days will tell.
From me Norfolk Landmark.
President Cleveland should make few
