Said an enthusiastic republican yes
terday evening: "One thing i3 already
demonstrated in this campaign to a
certainty, and that is, if ihe democratic
party had to nominate a candidate again
with its present knowledge of Cleve
land it would never touch him."
"Why?" we asked.
'it"MU3', saM In1, "the whole thing.
is flit. They can't get up any enthusi
asm anywhere;" and this is unques
tionably true. A few weeks of this
camt-aian have demonstrated the fact
hat Cleveland is not the inspiriting
candidate his party believed him to be
when he was named at Chicago.
The political skies are clear and
promiiing for ihe nominees of the re
puhlican party. From every quarter
comes cheering news for Blaine and
Dogan. Especially in the close states,
where democrcatic chance of pucccsa
exists, there is a decided movement
amonf the laboring dasaf-S of democ-
racy toward the support of the republi-
Reliable authority iu New Jersey,
Indiana and New York, indicates this
to be the fact. In Buffalo, Gov. Cleve
land's home, the strongest democratic
wards contain the heaviest Blaine and
Logan club?, and these clubs are large-
.y made up of Irish democrats and la
boring men.
At a democratic ratification meeting
at Hot Spriugs, Arkansas, the other
evening. Senator Farley, of California
conceded California to the republicans.
The drift is enthusiastically away from
Cleveland and towards Mr. Blaind
However republicans in the east where
thnhati'-o-rn..dia. must not. conclude
that one swallow brings a summer, or
tht hon.ninof a ramnain. how-
ever auspicious, is a certain index of
5r orm in tiM end. bnt work

alone insure the victor in a great na-
