FAyORS CLEVELAND
ST. CLAIR M'KELwAY EXPLAINS
HIS ADVOCACY OF EX-PRESI-
DENTS NOMINATION.

New York, May 4-Grover Cleve-
lands nomination for president of the
United States by the Democratic par
ty is demanded by the influential pub
lie sentiment of the south as we'll as
by the conservative interests and the
rank and file Of the party in the north.
according to st. Clair McKelway, edi-
tor of the Brooklyn Eagle.
Mr.. MoKelway devoted a long edi-
torial in his newspaper recently to the
subject Of the nomination of Mr..
Cleveland. and this editorial has been
supplemented with an interview. MIR.
MoKelwsy said the inspiration for his
editorial came from conversation with
men Of all classes in the south VINO at
tended the recent educational confer
ence in Richmond, Va. Their senti-
ment, he declared, was not oircum-
scribed by Mason and Dixon's line, but
was active and insistent among men
Of influence and independent ideas in
the north. Mr., McKelway believes
the machine leaders of the party would
be hostile to Mr. Clevelsnd's candida
cy. but they would have to yield TO
the rank and file.
~ proposed Cleveland as the only
man who could surely be elected, be-
cause believe that to be the case. -
said Mr.. McKelway. Then he told OF
all the prominent men he met at Rich.
mond. and said:
"Cleveiand's name was In every
mans mouth. All said he ought 10 be
nomsinated and could be elected.
Most Of them believed there was moth
ing in the third term" after eight
year absence from the office.
These men do not want Cleveland
merely because they believe he could
be elected, but because Of the good
which they thought ne could do, said
he. "He is the only man who could
soften the jar which capital is bound
TO get and the only man who could
moderate the demands which the anti
trust forces in the country are sure to
make.
~ was greatly impressed with this
southern sentiment" continued Mr..
McKelwAy. II find IL shared by both
conservative and radical Democrats in
the north and also by the Republicans
who are dissatisfied with the vindic-
tive feeling toward property and CAPT
tai and the drift which is being shown
in many ways, even by Judicial decis-
ions"
could Cleveland get the backing Of
New York IN the national conven-
tion?"
IL think, replied Mr.. MoRelway,
che would get New York state because
other states would show that he could
be nominated by them without New
York state, and in this state the ma
chine would not like TO be left again
in the pitiably imbecile condition in
which it wOs placed when Mr.. Glove
land was nominated because New
York was against him"
