THE DEMOCRATIC PARALYSIS,
Cleveland IL tho Root OF the whole
Trouble.

Cleveland IL tho Root of the whole
Trouble.
Although President Cleveland's term
In the white house will end next year
by an unwritten law which has been
solemnly declared n part of our repub-
lican system, no democratic statesman
appears to be engaged in any serious
effort to obtain the democratic nomi-
nation to succeed him. The usual array
of favored sons and the struggle for
delegates, both of which are particulars
ly lively In the republican camp, arc
not seen among the democrats. II the
democratic nomination were made to-
morrow 1t would not be clutched, bus
accepted, and with the timidity Of res
ignation rather than with the fervor Of
confidence.
There In deadIicr blight on tile
hopes and ambitions of democrats than
can be accounted for on the simple
merits of the contest between demo.
Gratis and republicans. The root of the
trouble Is in the ambition of Grover
Cleveland to be candidate for q third
term. or to force the national demo-
cratic convention to offer IL to him.
so that he may have the sensational
glory of declining IL.
1t Is needless to say that II Mr.. Cleve-
land had been n sincere democrat and
loyal American he would have prompts
ly squelched the third-term agitation
the moment after the first mugwump
dared to propose it. Meanwhile, since
he remains silent. the agitation. how-
ever feeble, goes on, and the doubt aA
to Mr.. Cleveland's faithfulness to the
spirit of our institutions hangs over
the democratic party as well as over its
nominal head.
OF what use could il be to any man
to become the candidate of party
which has been put under the suspicion
of treachery to- priceless national
principle, wisely handed down to us by
the republics two greatest founders,
Washington and jefferson? What
genuine democrat would desire TO be
taken up for sacrifice by such partys
or invite popular support TO IL with
full conviction?
The paralysis which has been creep
ing on the democratic organization and
upon it's highest men particularly hasl
reached it's climax with the spectacle
of Mr.. Cleveland as president, silently
permitting his Office holders and mug
wump worshipers 20 threaten his nom
iDation for "A third term.-N. Y. Sun

The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier-Journal says that
Cleveland Is determined to make fight
for an explicit declaration for sound
money In the next democratic platform.
No thick-and-thin utterances, no strad-
dies of any kind, meet with favor In his
eyes; and he will also oppose the nomi-
nation of any trimmer ut the head of
the ticket. With such platform and
such a candidate he believes the demo-
Gratis may win, "as republicans are de-
termined to temporize." The corre-
spondent quotes Mr.. Cleveland as hav-

friends and fully made up his mind
