Grover Cleveland For President.

To the Editor: There have been
| moments, yea, and sane. ones, too, in
| the life of your correspondent when
! the thought of Cleveland for President
would have affected him as the sight
| Of Il snake or a man with the jim
| Jams.
In the selection of our candidate we
| should seriously consider two things:
| Can he win? If we lose what will be
! the result?
The nomination of Mr.. Cleveland
would, beyond question, meet with the
hearty and even enthusiastic approx
al of the monied interests of the coun-
try, without which success will be i'm
possible to the Democracy. The sta
bility of Cleveland's views in all mat
terS of currency and the universal re-
cognition of his conservative ideas on
all questions of governmental policy
stand in striking contrast to the Wilful
and overbearing conduct of Mr..
Roosevelt There can hardly be a
doubt as to the moneyed vote between
Cleveland and Roosevelt.
The qualities which constitute the
two men are as variant as it is posi-
BILE for the human intellect to con-
ceive. The one is brilliant. ambitious,
DESTROYS OF military glory, and in the
experimental stage of life. The other
is plodding, profound and cautious as
a philosophic statesman far beyond
the days of tentative methods, n man
of peace, save where the honor of
the country demands firm action, and
most careful to reaffirm. and to hoard
as the miser his riches. for the histo-
rian, the reputation already earned.
The one. measurably built along the
lines of Warren Hastings, might have
formed and ruled with a rod of iron
an Indian empire; the other is a wise
man, one who loves law and order,
and seeks not new paths for venture
some political or international display.
The Northern and Central Western
States have tried Grover Cleveland
and were satisfied with him. The
votes of such States as are necessary
tn secure the election of the next Presi
dent have been given to Cleveland, and
the electors thereof are even now on
tintoe of desire for an opportunity to
rpeat their action.
Who doubts that New York. Con-
necticut. New Jersey, Illinois, Wiscon-
sin and i'm fair probability, Indiana,
would each and all give to Mr.. Cleve-
land their electoral votes?
But what of the South, with Cleve-
land as the nominee? Shall we South
ern men hesitate in our action when
the aggressive, powerful ana WliIul
Roosevelt unites with Senator LooSe'
of Force Bill fame, to mVoiVe our
common country in a contest that may

States by the passage Of a Force Bill
which is a part Of the Republican
platform?
With Gorver Cleveland. who has al
ready been trieds the evils can certain
ly be avoided. With any other man
as the Democratic nominee, whether
it is the silent Parker. whose political
views are at best problamatical, or the
young and lusty Mcclellan, who is an
exponent of Tammany, appeal to the
conservative voters would fai! of re-
suits.
What of the South! With Theodore
Roosevelt as President of the United
States sitting ut dinner with Booker
Washington, and our women and
young maidens compelled by him to
receive their mail from the hands of
negro postmasters and ipostmistresses,
ana, on failure TO do SO, to be deprived
of all reasonable mail facilities.
There is absolutely no doubt of the
South, not a shadow, with present
conditions.
The South has no hostility to the
negro, but it recognizes that Anglo
Saxon civilization is one thing and
the negro civilization is a very differ
ent thing.
When Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Ldge
HdNe negro pOSlmdStefS ana pOStnlS-
tresses appointed in their towns, and
when they and their ilk abrogate the
qualifications and restrictions put upon
Northern voters, then, and not before
can they reasonably venture to take
their Southern reformatory trip.
For almost assured success, we need
Grover Cleveland for our candidate.
Our delegates to st. Louis should. by
all>means, vote for him, to the man!
All minor questions should be driv-
en- from Democratic consideration in
the presence of the Chicago declara-
ton for the Force Bill. The hazard
was once great; it is now overwhelm-
ing with Roosevelt and Lodge as
leaders and the stalarts of the Re-
publican party in control!
