OUT OF THE QUESTION

1t is needless for the New York
World seriously to discuss the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland for the presi-
dency. Such a nomination wouldn't
command the support of the party.
Mr.. Cleveland never had sharper
critic than the World itself at the time
when he was disposing of bonds on
Wall street. Mr.. Cleveland's last term
as president resulted in his alienation
from the democracy. There are large
numbers of democrats who are willing
to concede to Grover Cleveland splen-
did powers of mind and high charac-
ter of craftsmanship, but he neYerthe-
less, lacks tact and the breadth of view
requisite to make him available for an
other nomination. If he had been a
real democrat he would have accepted
the result of the Chicago convention.
To nominate Mr.. Cleveland would
arouse the old fight and perpetuate the
lines of division between gold and sill
yer democrats. Instead of attacking
the enemy during the whole campaign
we would be attacking each other, and
Mr.. Cleveland's defeat would be ever
more marked than Mr.. Bryan's.
