days there has been made public a let
ter written by hi.a ON March Ii. .shS,
to Mr.. e. p. Bailey. OF Utica. N. Y. a
20 ton which is worth copying. L.,
that letter he said:
have lately come to the conclusion
that our best hope rests upon the NOM
nation of Johnson of Minnesota The
prospects to my mind appear as bright
with him as our leader as with any
other, and whether we meet with sue
er we shall take long step in the way
of returning to our old creed and the
old policies and the old plans of or
ganization which have heretofore led
us to victory.
BY thus advocating the nomination
of one of the truest and most unflinch-
ing Democrats Of the country Mr.
Cleveland showed how firmly and
sturdlly he adhered to the old Demo-
cratic faith and practice. 1t is well
known that he was never an sdmirer
or follower of Mr.. Bryan, and it is
plain that he hoped the nomination Of
Organism, and put the party back on
the sound and safe foundation 1t had
abandoned. He made 1t plain that his
belief aud hope was that even If we
were defeated under. leader like
Johnson his candidacy-of course on
a suitable platform-would go a long
way towards making the Democratic
party what it was before 1t wandered
off after strange gods. And that he
did not despair Of success under safe
leader is shown by this other extrac:
from the same letter:
I do not want you to suppose that a
feeling of pessinlism toward political
affCir Is habitual with me. on the
contrary. such condition Of mind Is
quite infrequent and so temporary that
it yields quickly to a better mood and
a settled conviction that our party he
fore many years will march from the
| darkness to the full light Of glorious
achievement.
Not much is gained by specializing
on what might have been. and this ap.
plies as well to politics as to other
matters. but nevertheless we cannot
help thinking how much better IT
would have been for the party il 1t had
