Grover Cleveland ia for the third llmo
the candidate of the democratic party
for president of the United Status. Al
though without n single vote In the con
vention from his own st.ito and relentlessly
Its the ox-
lessly fought by delegation !
president secured the nomination on the
first ballot with votes to sparo. It was
n vh-tory of which Mr , Cleveland may
pardonably fool proud , nnd which ro-
fleets credit upon the energy , skill and
devotion of his friends. Whitney ana
Dickinson and Vilns have repaid Cleve
land for the honors ho bestowed on
them when from comparative political
obscurity ho elevated thorn1 to cablnot
positions. There are others who do-
votlon has imposed obligations on him
which iu all probability ho will never
bo able to repay.
It is perhaps unnecessary to conaldor
minutely the several explanations of
this result of one of the moat Inharmoni
ous political conventions in the history
of tlio country. The intelligent student
of politics will readily find ono of them
in the tact that the demuerncy has no
loader whoso apparent availability is
equal to that of Mr. Cleveland. It hns
abler men , as Carlisle for example , but
they are not In the right section of the
country to bo available its presidential
candidate ? , and it could no't bo convinc
ingly claimed in behalf of any northern
democrat that ho would bo moro popular
anywhere than Cleveland. It .vas urged
by the friontls of the ox-president that if
ho o.nihl not carry any of the doubtful
BttitcB , including Nov. York , no ether
democrat could do so , and the support
ers of ether candidates were unable to
demonstrate that this position was not
sound and tenable.
The course of Hill had made him im
possible , and none of the other mon
talked of Inspired confidence. Then
there wits a very gonor.il disposition to
rebuke the arrogance of Tammany and
the methods which that olouiont of the
New YoVk democracy had adopted.
This wan plainly manifested throughout
the proceedings of the convention. It is
'rather ' ijroditablo to the representatives
of the democracy that they refused to
countenance the course of the Hill
faction. Mr. Cleveland , moreover ,
bta'ids pro-eminent In the regard of
democrats us the exponent of the idea
of tariff reform an idea that is by no
means original with him , and which
noitior ] ho nor any ether democrat haa
over clearly defined or glvor practical
application , It was the very , general
view among democrats that the logie of
the situation demanded the nomination
of Cleveland.
No well informed man will pretend
that Grover Cleveland is stronger be
fore the country now than he was four
years ago. There is not a valid reason
for assuming that bo can carry any state
in 1892 that ho lo t In 1833. On the
contrary there Is reason to bollovo that
the list of democratic states in the last
presidential election will bo reduced
two or throe in the election this year.
The policy of whioh Mr. Cleveland is
the most conspicuous representative
was freshly submitted to the pooplo'in
1883 and was overwhelming rejected.
In view of the prosress and increased
prosperity of the country it cannot
reasonably bo supposed to have grown
in nonular favor slnco that time. The
bu'jinpsH of the country ia moving for
ward peacefully and prosperously , and
there is no demand and no good reason
for a change that would unsettle and
disturb every department of trade and
industry. Therefore the meaningless
cry of tariff reform , as made by the
democratic party , will have loss in-
Ilucnco witti the gro.it body of intelli
gent voters this year than it did four
years ago ,
The same conditions that gave the
electoral vote of Now York to the re
publican presidential candidates in 1888
still prevail , but they are intensified.
The democratic factional conllictin that
state has made wounds that will not
heal. Cleveland is woalor : in Now York
now than ho WHS four years ago when
ho received the nomination and there is
no probability that ho ' will maico any
material gain as the 'campaign pro
gresses. It is an absurd claim that ho
can carry .any western or northwestern
state , and If there is any debatable ail vor
Btnto it will bo moro likely to go repub
lican than democratic.
GLiVKLXD \ AND HIS HKRMIKS.
The reluctance ot the majo'rity in tho"
Chicago convention to take the anll-
Glevoland mon at their word Booms very
strange , in vlow of the fact that Tim- (
iniiny never has violated it3 plages. It
would bo impossible to point to a. smglo
instance in which Tammany has boon
false to Its professions of fealty or oppo
sition to the candidates of the demo
cratic party. In this case It very
clearly makes known its antagonism to
Mr. Cleveland. The speeches of Mr.
Do Witt , Mr. Cockran , Mr. Follows and
others bristle with points indicative of
this antagonism. It is significant that
the opposition of the antl-Clovoland
mon in the state of New York to the
candidate of the party Is not wholly
based upon considerations of expedi
ency. They hate Mri Cleveland bit
terly , and they did not hosluto to give
expression to that hatred in the conven
tion. When mon like Dou-ko Cookran ,
W. C. Do Witt , John R Follows , Gen
eral SlcU'ios and others who wlold'it
powerful inlluonco In the Btalo of Nuw.
York are united in an expression of .an
tagonism to the nominee of their party
It is safe to conclude that they moan
something , No democratic candidate lias
over oirrled the Empire state without
the active aid of the forces whioh those
ine.n roprouont. A united p\rty is abso
lutely necessary to democratic success
in that state , and oven when the dom-
oor.ioy in unttod it Is fair lighting
ground.
It would bo dllllcult to exaggerate the
intensity of the antagonism of Tuimnany
toward Grover Cleveland. It is founded
upon something moro than the defeat of
the Hill forces in iho convention. If
Cleveland and Hill had been rival can
didates under ordinary conditions , the
winner would have baon cordially s'up
ported by the loser and the rivalry
would have boon lost sight of as BOOH as
the choice was mado. But In this case
the Huoeosaful candidate and his sup
porters in his own state have 'mado wur
upon Uill audTauimauy hall , A moro
bitter and aTgrC3Stvo o.islaupht could
not have boon made l > i the Cleveland
mon upon the republican party than
they have made upon the friends of
Senator Hill. They have denounced the
Hill mon hi terms that could not Irivo
boon oxpoclod to produce any ether fool-
Ing1 than the savage resentment shown
at Chicago. They organized themselves
us the only regular representatives of
the democracy of Nuw York and hold n
fetato convention of their own nt which
they elected delegates to the national
convention nnd adopted resolutions ox-
prosstvo of. their contempt of the mon
who then hold and still hold in their
hands the democratic machinery of their
Btnto.
If the Tammany men were some
thing moro or less than human they
might forgot during this campaign that
they have boon treated as u pack ot po
litical thugs fit only to bo o , st out and
Ignored by the clement of the party
which assumed to represent all that Is
truly good In politics. But the utter-
uncos of the Hill mon at Chicago prove
that they nro by no moans disposed to
submit quietly and take the modiclno
olTored them with professions of delight.
Their speakers did not hesitate to say
that the opponents of Cleveland in Now
York would put him to death at the
polls. Every ono of the Hill speakers
breathed throatonlngs and slaughter.
It is significant , too , that the threats ,
were made when it was plainly apparent
that Cleveland would bo nominated and
that Hill was entirely out of the race.
No democratic candidate for the presi
dency was over confronted by a moro
cortai.i prospect of defeat at the hands
of his own party than Grover Cleveland
Is now. The republicans have reason to
bo perfectly satisfied with the outlook.
A nisuitnuiihr ( 'OATK.VT/OX
The democratic national convention
it Chicago was perfectly In line with
the traditions ofvtho party , and did not
boho the predictions of those who said
that It would bo stormy. In the whole
history of the democratic party there
has never boon a convention in which
there was shown a moro bitter antagon
ism than was shown at Chicago. The
hostility of the' factions was not con
trolled by considerations ot policy , but
was given full away without regard to
( ionsoquonces.
The republican convention at Min
neapolis presents a striking contrast to
the Chicago convention in many re
spects , but chiolly in regard to tlio
behavior of the delegates. At Chicago
a man who cheered for Cleveland was
in danger of being assaultoJ , and the
opponents of the ox-prosldont ran the
sama risk when they gave expression to
their feelings. At Minno.ipolls a man
could say what he pleased without
placing himself in danger of personal
injury. The scenes of disorder at
Chicago as described by the corre
spondents who witnessed them were
simply riotous. Enthusiasm is always
permissible , but the demonstrations of
factional fooling at Chicago went be
yond the bounds of reason. Any man
who cheered for Hill or Cleveland .1iar < j
was in clangor of being assaulted.
Republican conventions have always
boon decorous and decent and froa from
the feeling which finds expression in
riots and personal encounters. There is
a difference between the elements which
compose the two parties. History
proves that republican conventions can
do their work without disturbances ,
while the democrats always need /
strong police force to preserve order. '
T//B DKMOCIIATIG VLATFUllM.
The platform promulgated at Chicago
covers a wfdo rnngo of subjects. It will
bo sufllciont nt thia time to consider
only those which will constitute the
leading issues in the impending cam
paign. The tariff plank , apart from its
platitudes regarding the objects of tax
ation , is essentially n plea for free
trade , and this is not concealed by the
protonao of a desire io protect the
Interests of labor. In the unqualified
denunciation of the tariff policy under
which , during tlio past quarter of a
century , tlio nation has made the most
remarkable material progress in the
world's history , there is shown the real
sentiment of the democratic party
regarding the system of American pro
tection. The course of the majority In
the present house of representatives
in attacking Iho tariff in the interest of
free trade is heartily commended , and
the promise is hold out to the country
that , if successful in obtaining control
of the legislative departments of the
government , the democratic party will
repeal the present tariff law.
It does not propose , bo it understood ,
to ro.viso the law with a view to correct
ing any defects that may exist in it , and
remedying any Inequalities incident to
it , but to wipe it out altogether.
Whether it would give the country in
place of it BOino such measure as the
Mills bill or whether the democracy has
any Intelligent and practicable plan to
substitute for the present tariff , the
platform does not state. The tariff
plank cont'iliH several assertions whioh
urn contrary to well known fants , and
the falsifying of which there will bo
ample opportunity hereafter to ahow.
Reciprocity Is denounced as a sham , in
face of the fact that it has enabled us to
regain old murkots and opgn now ones
for our meats and broadstuffa nnd to in
crease our foreign commerce 870,000,000
within a your.
On the question of allvor coinage ,
which proved to bo qulto'as knotty and
perplexing as had boon expected , the
platform is llkoly to bo coiifuslng to the
average democratic mind , and doubtless
was Intended to bo. The act ot 1800 is
denounced us u cowardly makeshift ,
when everybody knows that it was a
compromise to ivvort free coinage and
was the best that could bo do.no at the
time to cheek the movement in favor of
the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
It has added largely to the currency of
the country and thus far has had no
evil affects , but it 1ms not accomplished
whut WIIB hoped for In raising the prlco
of allvor. That ia not the fault ot the
law , but of the incrousod production of
silver.
The demand that gold and'sllvor shall
bo coined on equal terms moans that the
profit which now gooa to the government
from the coinage ot silver shall bo taken
by the producer of that motul , which
would bo no moro just than would bo the
p.iyuiont by thftJ5go\eminent | to the
farmer or any uuicjcln.'H of U profit In
oxccfia of the inarkut prlco ot their pro
ducts. All p.uik ? agree that both gold
and silver shoi iltto ! used -as money nnd
that they ahouUl B | kept at n parity , but
thh condtt'on ' o/ISld not bo maintained
with the frco aiW unlimited coinage of
silver , and tfiri/ls Iho policy which n.
largo majority of ytho democratlb party
want , lot them cdatuo and becloud the
question as the * will. As to the adjust
ment of u raUjjj/hrough International
agreement , that'fr ? just what the repub
lican admln'stratlon la endeavoring to
do , nnd as yet It has received no encouragement -
couragomont from any froo'ailvor demo
crat In congress.
The Amurk'an system of protection
with roelproultv and the question of frco
silver coinajjo will bo the hsuea of the
eammlgn , and the republican parly is
prepared to give them the fullest possl-
blo discussion before thepeople.

The signa of an aclivo revival of the
prospmlty of Omaha are to bo mot with
on every hand , There is developing a
greater interest in ro.il estate , agents
generally reporting that within the
past few weeks the Inquiries have been
moro numerous than at any previous
ttino for a year. Naturally the market
has grown tinner and the feeling of con
fidence in the future has stronythonod.
' "ho Indications are th it a considerable
amount of the idle capital In the banks
of Omaha will bofoi'o long find invest
ment in this direction , as well as in
making improvements and establishing1
enterprises which will bo a source of
permanent benefit to the city.
U la not to bo doubted that thia ro-
awakonlnsr of the spirit ot cntorpriso
among our own people , the bettor dis
position ot outside capital to look to
Omaha for safe and profitable invest
ment and the improved faith in the fu-
turn malorlnl progress of this city whioh
these things evidence nro to bo as
cribed very Inrgoly to the wi o action of
tlio people in giving their approval to
the Nebraska Central project. The assurance -
suranco that within the next fovv years
from $0,000,000 to 3S,000,000 will bo ex
panded in carrying out this project , nnd
that when completed Omnliii will 'hnvo
railroad facilities surpassed by no ether
western city , and pornr.inmit improve
ments of great value , naturally induces
capital to avail itself ot the very favor
able opportunity that now offers for rani
estate investment that will certainly
bring largo returns in the near future.
Its offcct must also bo to conduce to ex
pansion in nearly all departments ot en-
torprtso. The packing interests , es
pecially , which will bo given access to a
much larger torl'ilbry for supplies than
they now have , are already projecting a
material extension V > f their capacity.
Having declared their determination
to bo relieved from tlio restrictions im
posed by a monopoly , the people of
Omaha see tho.lr way clear to the attain
ment of the progress and prosperity
which this city should realize by reason
of ita location irr-the center of ono of the
most productive portions of the country ,
and with confideneo restored are al
ready beginning to-ronow the enter
prise which in former years gave this
city a vigorous and substantial growth
unsurpassed by any ether Oily in the
west. *
WiiATr.vnn may bo the merits of the
disagreement between the Board of
Education and tlio taxpayers of South
Omaha as to the tax levy proposed for
school purposes , it is certainly a good
sign that the demand for educational
advantages in that community is moro
than keeping pace with the growth of
the income from fines and licenses.
Heretofore the revenue from this source
has supported the schools and no tax for
this purpose has over been levied since
the corporation waa created. The
school fund from this source this year
will bo $35,000 , and there is now In
the treasury $0,000 available for the
same purpose , and yet the demand for
now school buildings has become so
great that the outlay for education is
no longer to be limited to the income
from licenses. By whatever moans the
money is raised , South Omaha is to bo
congratulated upon the conditions
which require moro schools. Progress
in that direction should keep pace with
her rapid growth in population.
that como to THK BKB
rogardljig the proposed celebration of
the coming Fourth of July are uniformly
favorable. Everybody appears to real
ize that tills Is o peculiarly auspicious
tirao for having such a commemoration
ot the annivo'rsary of the declaration ot
American independence ) as this section
of the country has never hold , and there
ia special Illness in having it in Omaha.
This city will that day entertain thou
sands ot visitors from every part of tlio
country , and the opportunity is thoro-
fo.-o most favorable for showing to the
whole nation that in this western city
the patriotism of'll ' o people is as vital
and ardent as ituiii oilier sootlon of the
republic. Such HU celebration as THK
BKK has suggested would attract hero
thousands of tlio pi oplo of Nebraska and
Iowa ether ttmni those who will bo
drawn to tha cityj.b political considora-
lions. There is xfp o to r.rrango a mag-
nlflcont demonstrat on if the matter is
taken hold of nt-onco and energetically
pushed. ' ' >

Hon of Illinois , , ( or vice president
by the Chicago convention did not
strengthen the tlgjcot. Mr. Stevenson
la a lawyer of good ability , who has
served a term incongress , was first as
sistant postmaster general In the Cleveland
land administration and la popular with
the Illinois democrats. Ho was prob
ably chosen nt the suggestion of Senator
Palnior , but hla selection will not ma
terially affect the result In Illinois.
That state ia safely republican thia year.
On the ether hand , there are u grout
many democrats in Indiana who will not
forglvo the summary turning down of
Mr. Gray , and it will not bo it all sur
prising if soiiio of these are found in the
republican ranks nqxt November. At
any rate the treatment of Gray willvory
.materially reduce the enthusiasm of
Indiana democrats for the Chicago
ticket and it ia pretty safe to say 4 takes
that slate out of the doubtful list.

old times to tno mind of J. D. Stlno of the
Superior Journal. "Loolting back across
the years , " says Mr. Stino , "to a day when
in Xonla , O. , wo climbed a rickety old stair
case to call upon and congratulate this same
man on his recent graduation with high
honor from Miami university nnd his ven
ture as editor of the Xonia News nnd found
him shoving a hand roller over the forms on
an old hand press ana Preston B , Plumb
pulling the lever , how little wo or anyone
else thought that the events of 1S03
would record the death of one as iho
most Illustrious senator of a state thxt
then had no existence , whllo tbo ether stood
before the nation for the next to the highest
position on the ticket of a party that was
then but emerging from the rums of another
that had gene down for want of moral cour-
ngo to moot and crush out a great national
crime. i5ut such is history unfolded in the
lives of two poor young men who with lofty
aims started in life llrnily fixed in right prin-
ciplesand courageous in fighting for the
same. "

"Poor Gray I What n sacrifice ot Indiana's
favorite democratic son , " was the exclama
tion of democrats and republicansallko when
the result of the convention's work upon the
vlco presidency booiimo known M. 0 o'clock
this evening. There bad boon such a deter
mined Hghr , for Uray by bis Hoottor frlonns
that It was supposed for n whllo ho would

it has boon stated a number of times in Iiin :
specials that Mr. Cleveland would not accept
him.
him.Mr.
Mr. Stovonsou was o very ordinary ma
chine politician while ho beheaded fourth
class postmasters under President Clove-
laud , violating the civil service law , nnd tno
"stuffed propliot" sat ns the soul of reform In
the wlilto house. The nomination will not
como to Mr. Stevenson with tiny decree of
iclai. It was refused by Governor BOIM of
owa and would have boon refused by Gray
nul there been nnylhing oho for Uio gov
ernor to do , Illinois Is hopclosily republican
nnd since Stevenson represents no element
> f strength outsldo of his own state , where
10 \ \ unknown , it U thought that the party
nr.nairor.s in the convention camu to thu con
clusion to throw the second place away.
l)0ll't I.IItU till ! 1'llUloiMII ,
There is n good deal of criticism1 on the
platform which was adopted , although most
iemocrnts are not desirous of having their
expressions of disapproval published. Hop-
rescutativo Holmiiu of Indlann , bovvnvcr ,
was outspoicen in nis ucnuticiauon.IT , is , "
said ho , , "marked by more timidity than
mylhlng the democratic party has done for
vonrs. It is as weak us a combination of
timidity nnd slush could make lt. " <
The conservutivo men of the party on the
tariff question uro not nt nil pleased with the
plank relating to that Issue , nnd they oou-
sidor tli at the convention would have douo
moro wisely it the original report of the com-
inlttco had been adopted. The republicans
are particularly well pleased with this plank ,
mm Representative liiigloy of Maine said
that this alone would insure the success of
the republican ticket.
"This declaration of the convention
on tariff , " said ho , "draws the
lipo moro distinctly between the
two parties on this issue thau over before.
This Is the first tlmo that the democratic
party has placed itself on record na favoring
free trado. It is well known up in Now
England that iho democrats in conventions
'
nnd' speoohmaking in thee s'tatos have
nlways " been persistent in declar
ing that the democratic party was
for a tariff which would equalize the dif
ferences between the prices of labor paid in
this country and in Europe. This was also
the republican position , but now that tha
democrats have declared for free trade thov.
can no longer make this claim and they will
probablv lose Connecticut on thU issue
nlono. Of course the term 'free trado' comes
to us through the English nomenclature , and
it docs not moan absolutely no tariff at all ,
but only a tariff ou articles not produced in
the country. This is .therefore a tariff for
revenue only , which Encland now hns , and
this was endorsed by the democrat * yester
day from a democratic standpoint , therefore ,
I believe that tbo platform Is weak prac
tically , us it will cost the party Connecticut ,
without making any compensatory gains
olsowhoro. "
Not n Clierr Nor a Sinllo.
Like n wet blanket Mr. Cleveland's noml
nation foil upon the democrats in Wnshinc-
tou. There was not a cheer nor a smllo of
joy. Almost every active partisan democrat
Here from any part of the country wns opposed -
posed to Mr. Cleveland's nomination for
man reasons. Firstly , they did not nnd do
not bollovo that ho could defeat
President Harrison. Bocondly , he has boon
president once. They Know him. Ho hns
boon tried , ntm proved a failure. Ho dis
played an abnormal in gratitude and had no
appreciation of personal sacrilico made for
him. ' Old leaders were turned down , and a
deaf ear wns given to all advices. This was
arbitrariness such as had never before been
witnessed In the prebidonlial oflico. Ho was
nobody's pnmdent , and lived for himself.
He forgot these who made him , and kept up
some of bis early friendship- ) .
These were the expressions made by the
leading democrats of tbo country now in
Washington today , and n dejected lot of men
they aro. Mr. Cleveland's nomination Is en
tirely satisfactory to the republicans. Ho
it was President Harrison most desired as
his opponent. With Cleveland , the president
wns and is confidant that there will bo a
fair nnd square light between issues not
men , open test of the two great principles
which the two platforms have loft
as a bar between thoseparties. .
It will bo the present republican
American system of protection and reciproc
ity upon the ono side nnd * free trudo upon
tbo other. The "tariff roform" of tbo Cleveland -
land school , sucti ns is described in the plat
form adopted nt Clilcngo , is free trade , pure
and simple. The Chicago plntlorm frankly
denounces the republican protective tariff us
n fraud and declares that the "ledoral gov
ernment hat no constitutional power to 1m.
nose and collect tariff duties except for rov-
ouuo only. "
I'or Tree Trade tllrrcl.
This Is , by the president and blJ coUbor
era , construed to bo a declaration for fro
trade direct , nnd thnt It cannot bo distorted
into nnylhing olso. Having come

tection to homo Industries , Certainly this
decidedly Involves the question of maintain *
Ing our commercial reciprocity , for without
n protootlvo tariff reciprocity would bo impos
sible. Secretary Vostor expressed himself
to Tin : HIF. : correspondent in this language
todays "Mr. Cleveland Is the strongest nnd
weakest ramllilato the democrats could have
named. Hu Is strong with hl % parly bocnuso
