Hon Harry he ~.
Louisville Courier-Journal with great
ardor, has moved that Arthur Pue
German be president of the United
States. Arthur o. o. Stealey, his
Washington correspondent, who the
day before the late election predicted
that the Democrats would elect the
governor OF New York and majority
of the house of representatives, has
seconded the motion. So that nothing
|, remains but to nominate and elect
him.
| Mr.. Watterson says that German Is
not only a wise man. but an upright
and courageous man. worth dozen
Hills. or thousand Clevelands, and,
whether he leads us to victory or de-
feat. he will not lead us astray." Mr..
r Watterson also testifies that Mr.. Cor
man is national leader OF surprising
, wisdom and experience. a Democrat
, from the crown of his head to the
soles of his feet and that his word
should pass for much with every
thinking Democrat.
Mr.. Watterson Is becoming wiser
every day, and these words are testi-
mony also that he is growing in grace.
for 1t was not long ago that he con-
, demned Mr.. German as vigorously as
he now commends him. But Mr.. Wat
, terson is Democrat who believes
that a man who Is sincere must some
times beinconsistent and hence he is
entitled to absolutlon for any sins he
!, may have committed toward the mas
ter Democrat of Maryland.
Mr.. German has not been inconsist-
ent and he has not been insincere He
believes now what he believed In
> 1876 and is the same kind OF Tilden
Democrat today that he was then.
He has not changed his political prin-
eiples any more than his religious doc
trines. Grover Cleveland. William
