There is something in that. Instead of nominat- ing the man the nearest like Cleveland it were better to nominate Cleveland him self; just as--to go to the antipodes for an illustration-if it would be good policy to nominate Mir Willie Hearst because he is so exactly like Bryan. it would be better policy still to nominate Bryan. Cleveland could get more votes than Olney and Bryan could get more votes than Willie.
