Commencing with New York, his own
State, where he should be strongest it
will be observed that Mr.. Cleveland was
once elected governor by 100000 MAORI

when he was elected President in 1892:
and, after two years Of his administra-

Democratic majority of Z, 100 in 1892 and
Republican majority of 1900 in 1894;
Ohio reduced the Republican majority
of 1000 in 1892, but three years of
Clevelandism increased it to $4,000 in
1898. The Republicans OF Pennsylvania,
increased their majority from 63, 700 in
1892 to 244,300 in 1894. Nor did the
Solid South escape this disastrous influ-
ence. Kentucky gave 10000 Democratic
majority in 1892 and nearly 10000 Re
publican majority in 1895; while Mary
land reversed her Democratic majority
Of q, 900 in 1892 to 1900 Republican
majority in 1895. Even Tennessee
changed her Democratic majority of So
500 in 1892 to a Republican majority of
74S in 1894.
The vote in other States is hardly less
significant, notably in Illinois, which
gave Mr.. Cleveland majority Of 26,90O
in 1892 and elected a State Treasurer by
Republican majority OF Ia, 400 in
1894. The change in the lower House
of Congress is hardly decisive. In the
Fifty-third Congress the Democrats had
majority Of 90, while the Republicans
had a majority of 139 in the Fifty
fourth.
No one who has observed the current Of
public sentiment could doubt that the
election of 1896 would indicate a still
more extreme change until the silver is
sue was sprung and superseded that Of
the tariff. 1t is indeed doubtful il any
Democrat, nominated on Mr.. Cleyeland's
platform and indorsing his administra-
ton, could have carried half the States
or received half the popular votes record
ed in favor Of Bryan.
Were it possible for Mr. Cleveland to
appreciate the popular estimate Of his
peculiar policy and public acts, the last
election would bring home to his con-
seriousness the unpopularity, not to say
odium, which he has acquired.
