Grover Cleveland has never mani
tested an interest in the Demo-
cratic party unless he, Cleveland,
was a candidate of that party. If
this be true, and it very probably
is, the duck-hunter is now posing
as the next Democratic candidate
for president, for the newspapers
are giving quite an amount of
space to his utterances in advoca-
cy of Democratic principles, a
thing which he has never done be-
fore since he left the presidential
chair.
The Atlanta news contained re-
Gently communication from it's
editor, John Temple Graves, in
which he intimates that Cleveland
is in all probability in the race,
and cites from an editorial from
the New York Sun the personal
organ Of J. Pierpont Morgan,
which editorial is construed to be
favorable to Cleveland's candi-
dacy
All of this gives color to reports
which have been circulating for
some time, to the effect that Nor
gan and the other money kings
are antagonistic to Roosevelt and
will endeavor to defeat him at the
polls if he is nominated by the
Republicans which he is practi-
cally sure to be.
As odious as Cleveland is to the
masses of the people of the United
States there is no Disgusting the
fact that he has the entire conf
dence of the business interests of
the country, and this after all il
what, at the present time, deter
mines the results of elections in
this country. 1t is in the United
States at large as IN Georgia "the
men who CONTROL who are the
real masters of all situations, and
it seems to be well-nigh impossible
to circumvent their DEGREES. The
populace may shout and demon
strate but the losses control the
ballots.
1t must also be admitted that
most of Cleveland's policies have
been approved by experience. His
recent declaration in regard to
tariff, trusts, colonial possessions,
finance, etc., are undoubtedly the
sentiments of the rank and file OF
the Democratic party to day. The
Sun intimates that with Cleveland
as a candidate for the presidency
the Democrats would secure the
independent vote and a consider.
able proportion of the Republican
vote of the country. He would
certainly obtain the almost solid
vote of the Democrats of the
eastern and middle states, and
would also undoubtedly carry all
the southern states, not withstand.
ing he is very much disliked by
the majority of southern people
because of his GOODNESS and selfish.
ness. But in order to have il
power a party favorable to this
section the south would probably
be willing to make shift with al
most any sort of a man. While
it would probably prefer another
candidate to Cleveland yet if the
latter has the best chance to win
it would forego it's wishes in the
matter. Compare the states of the
south during Cleveland's two ad.
ministrations with what it is now
Especially in regard to the office
