Chicago Public: The attitude
of the republican press toward the

Democratic leaders whose fidelity
is under suspicion. Mr.. Lamont,
for instance, is regarded by the
republican press rs one of the men
whose nomination by the demo
Gratis would save that party from
political ruin. Why republicans
should want the democratic party
to escape political ruin is not clear,
yet they are really SolicitouS. Mr..
Cleveland would be acceptable to
them, but as he is not regarded rs
available they fall back upon Mr..
Lamont, the friend of Whitney
whom Mr.. Cleveland took into the
cabinet and launched upon the
ways to a speedy fortune of mil
lionaire dimensions. Along Will

product of Clcvcland's disastrous

to the republicans as the democrat

Let him who doubts it read the re-
