Cleveland's second administration, and
Grover Cleveland. Some OF these men
are credited with being willing to take
their chances as against Roosevelt next
year. The Atlanta Constitution. one Of
the most rational and influential journals
In the south, declares that it would be
folly for the party to nominate either
Cleveland or Bryan, who should abjure
their own ambitions and merge their re-.
spective followers In the ranks of party
newly united and jubilant for victory"
The Constitution emphatically opposes the
entrance OF its party into the presidential
campaign weighted down with the feuds
OF past campaigns, and indorsing ''the
defeated notions sof republicans or pre-
posterous partizans.''
Under such a ruling. few Of the eight
candidates mentioned by the New York
Times would stand. Ruled outewould be
Cleveland, Olney and Judson Harmon,
identified with the Cleveland regime, and
David B. HILL the topper and opportunist
and the incarnation Of incertitude. IN
calls has just come out of whitening de-
feat In a municipal contest, and Parkers
record reveals a jumping jack on the
financial question, distasteful to many
eastern democrats. The Atlanta Consti-
tuition says the candidate needed for
democratic triumph lives and can be
found Certainly not many democrats
really believe that.

A Worthy Undertaking.

At the baccalaureate services Of the
university Sunday afternoon there will be
a departure from custom that we feel
sure will meet with the approval of
friends of the university. An opportunity
is to be given those who attend. these
services to contribute, if they wish, to
the noble undertaking of erecting mon.
sument to the university students who lost
their lives in the war with SAain. It is
now two years since committee was
appointed to raise $4,000 for this purpose.
The committee has on hand $2,833.74 and
has pledges of $3.50, making a total of
$3,592.74. It hopes to raise the remainder
of the required sum at the baccalaureate
services. We have no doubt that all who
attend will feel it privilege to contrib
ute something, however little, and that
many will give considerable sums. II the
offering should average so cents the de-
fciency would be made up. At this mem
orial time the hearts Of our people are
likely to be stirred to generous sympathy
with an undertaking having such high
patriotic purpose. The university men
whose memory it is purposed to honor
gave their lives. It is not too much to ask
their living friends to give something Of
their substance to commerate their sac
riflce.
