For those Republicans who re fuse to support Mr. Blaine this nomination will, in some repects, simplify the political problem. It removes from the list of contingen-cies, which they have had to con-sider, the possibility of a practical choice in November between Itlaiue and Itutler, or between lilaine and any ol the numerous partisans on whom it .seemed that the choice of a Democraticconventionmight fall. Their decision as to the course to be taken for the purpose of making their present opposition most ef-fective and with a view to their future political usotulncssncss can now be made without embarrass-ment from this cause, and will no doubt speedily give definite form to the political field. The Inevitable Revelation. Philadelphia Time. In I. The convention was the most thoroughly deliberate convention that bus met since the organization of the present parties, with the sin gle exception of the Lincoln con vention that started the Republi-can revolution in Chicago a quarter of a century ago. It was not wed detl tO Grover Cleveland; it was not for him as a man ; he had fewer personal acquaintances in the con-vention than had any successful candidate since Lincoln. He had no factions support outside ol hi want ot foreign policy professions cannot put it aside. The glare of a boasted torchlight brilliancy will not outshine it. The sober sense of an intelligent elec ,1 e , .very party—when it has lost sfght | and'ni^haYiiesTVim 'already 'ball the privileges the vetoed bill con .laiuy wttii it, even—and has become a mere cabal of political hucksters, who use it torate, the honest convictions and ' ""J.v to get into office and regard the patriotism of ten millions of tillers are appealed to, and they will settle this question conclusive-ly ami for the right. It is not only in what he clearly represents, but in what he distinct ly opposes, th.it (irover Cleveland is strong before the American | pie. His career has made him the e\| ill of clean and holiest poli-tics. III the administration of pub-lic trusts he has shown that he is superior to partisan bias, indiffer eilt to such party interests as are in conflict with official probity and the public welfare, lie has'been severely tried in the important and [!"„. responsible post he now occupies He has resisted the importunities of designing politicians -. he has de feated the purposes ot selfish schemers. All those members ol his own pariy who are not absorb. ed in private aims which are in conflict with the public good are outspoken in his praise, and he has won the good opinion of all Repub-licans who are not so far gone in partisanship as to hate lost the power to commend upright eon-duct in a political adversary. Favored as he is by the right thinking element of both the Demo eratie and Republican parties, it is a noteworthy and potent advantage to Grover Cleveland as a candidate that he has incurred the bitter bos tility of the worthless, disreputa-ble, and dangerous members of his own party. Tammany hates him. Butler sees no good in him. Could a candidate find stronger recnin inenda'.ioiis than this in the opinion of voters whose political action is shaped solely by considerations of public welfare ? The official act office only as a means for plunder ing the public treasury. That is i he condition of the Republican party.

Km from Bast and West, ti North ami South the most conservativi 1 resolute suppor-ters ot hones! Government united to nominate him as the fittest and best leader of the revolution that public profligacy and debauchery so imperiously invite. The battle in the Republican con-vent ion was unsuccessfully made the intense hostility of Tammany are the very acts which have most strongly commended him to the support of Independent Republi-cans. The fator ol these two classes of a wholly corrupt ami selfish gue-rilla contingent within the Demo-cratic party, and of men with whom plain common sense and the most oiiliiiary form of political honesty-are controlling influences, no one man. be he ever so skilful in the to rescue the party from its spoils :111 "' balancing, can hope or wish system and to elevate it to puter to possess, (.rover Cleveland had aims and efforts. The great popti- . ""' heeu one month in office as lar leader, with the proclaimed Governor of the State ot Xew York methods and expectations of the . before In- had decided in his own spoilsmen, commanded the appeal i "'i'"1 :,ll|l bad made plain to all oil citizens. The bitter and furious hostility of Tammany Hall anil of Gen. Butler to (Jov. Cleveland is his passport to the confidence of good men, and the general convic-tion that Tammany will do all that it can to defeat him will be an ad-ditional incentive to the voters who cannot support Mr. lilaine, and who are unwilling not to vote at all, to secure the election of a candidate whom the political rings and the party traders instinctively hate and unitedly oppose. So linn and "clean" and indepen-dent in his high office has Gov Cleveland shown himself to be, that be is denounced as not being a Democrat by his Democratic op-ponents. This denunciation springs from the fact that he has not hesi-tated to prefer the public welfare to the mere interest of his party. Last autumn, when the Democratic District Attorney of Queens coun-ty was charged with misconduct, the Governor heard the accusation and the defense, ami decided that i; was his dutt to remove the of-to the approval of the Republican but at a teat ful cost in the loss ol able and self sacrificing men who revere the tit fresh traditions of lb-publican fidelity to public in tegrity and lustrous patriotism. They fo lowed the soiled Republi-can ll.lg long after its leaders had betrayed and forgotton the great revolution that called it into the strife and gave it victory, but they made their final appeal for reform a month ago and were defeated. In despair of liepnbliean reform, they asserted the highest and no blest right ot the citizen. They re-volted and pointed as with one Voice to Grover Cleveland ns the on,- Democrat above all whose re cud i imaiided their hearty sup port. Then and not till then was Cleveland a prominent, a possiMe Candidate for President, and the battle for his nomination has been made upon issues so clear ami dis tinct that none can misunderstand them. He was nominated to-day not only because he was earnestly and honestly championed by the lust men and the best aims of the Democracy, but also because la-wns vindictively opposed by all who believe in the mockery of pro-fessed reform before elections to impregnable ground and in excel prostitute power to plunder alter lent company. It has closely watch servers that his official action was | ;.;v;;,|s -;, ££ , to he guided solely by Ins own in ' telligentjudgment of whnl the pub. lie interest demanded. And that is, above all, the safe and saving policy Ibr a President of the I'nitcd States. No I leuioci it w i 11i whom pat I iol ism is not subordinated to private grudges will withhold his vole from Grover Cleveland. (if Republicans, those who arc entirely satisfied that Blaine and Logan faithfully represent the principles upon w Inch the party that preserved the I'nion was founded will doubtless vote against him. Those of the Itepub bean faith who are repelled by the most unwise choice made af Chica-go last month will find no difficul-ty in voting tor him. since he is oi f tin- best representatives now to be found in public life of those administrative principles and re-form to which they are committed. A Democrat who has made enemies of the disreputable elements of his own party is not greatly to in- fear ed by Republicans, even when he is a candidate tor the Presidency. The Time* will heartily support Gov. Cleveland. In opposing Mr. lilaine it finds itself alreadv upon Beer, lie was asked by his party removal until after the election, as otherwise the party would lose the district by the opposition of the Attorney's Irienda The Governor understood his duty and removed the officer some days before the election, and tin- party did lose the district. This kind of courage and devotion to public duty in the teeth of the most virulent opposition of traders of his own party is unusual in any public man, and it shows precisely tin-executive quality which is de matided at a time when every form of speculation and fraud presses upon the public treasury under the specious plea of party advantage. The argument that in an election einor very aptly objected that it I was an interference with the tights i of the employes as well as employ-i ers. It was plain that if the ear drivers and conductors worked , fewer hours they would receive less pay. and the bill neither did nor I could prevent that. The Governor | concluded his objections by say-i ing: "1 cannot think this bill is in tiie interest of the workingmen." One charge remains againstGov , ernor Cleveland's vetoes. The last legislature made a small appropria-tion for a charitable institution known as the WcstchesterCatholic Protectory. The Governor struck it out, and the charge has been made that he was hostile to the Catholic Church as such. Mr. Henry L. Iloguet. president of the Protectory, says on this question: We never doubted the. sincerity of the motive which induced (iov. Cleveland to with hold his sigua lure to the appropriation to the Protectory. We thought then and think now that he was not actuated by any feeling of bigotry or of hos tility to Catholics or the ('a'.holic institutions. On the contrary, Gov. Cleveland is liberal in the extreme, anil we arc of the firm belief that he was led to with holding his ap-proval of the appropriation solely the lar: thedavs est majority given since of Radical Reconstruction.

I want to ask the pen-pie of North Carolina to put me under one more obligation to them. 1 cannot repay, I know, the many obligations I already owe: cut still I shall ask them to put me under just one other obligation. That little key that I hold in my hand I have carried and guarded for nearly six years. There is not much in the key itself, but it un-locks much. Whether I have faith-fully guarded that which it unlocks is a question for others to discuss. But that key is the key over which the contest in {forth Carolina is to be waged, for it is the key that un-locks the inner door to the (lover nor's office of North Carolina. Now the obligation that I want the pen pie to put me under is this: I re ceived thai key from the hands of a great North Carolinian; he had been charged by the people of North Carotins by a majority ol to his lips. He held it there till every drop of the water was poured into a gum or oiled sack concealed beneath the Ku Klux robe. Then the empty bucket was returned to the amazed negro w ith the remark : "That's good. It is the first drink of water I have had since I was killed at Shi loll. - Then a feu words of counsel as to future bl-havioi made an impression unt easily forgotten in likely to lii- ills-regarded. V Ucancrala ami Fatal Dark A special to the New York World from Helena. Montana, .luly loth, says: The street lusiladc a lew days ago was a very savage affair.

It involves a sweeping political revolution—not merely the transfer of power from one political party to another, but the revolutionary overthrow of the worst methods and purposes of both parties and the triumph of the lust inspirations of every political faith. It is II,,t simply whether there shall be a Republican or a Democratic President, nor is it a struggle to make .lames (!. lilaine or Grover Cleveland the Chief Magistrate ofthe Republic. A revo lotion has dawned upon both par-ties, and it has been born of su prcnie necessity. Its seeds have been lavishly strewn by the Re-publican abuses and Democratic crats.

For those Republicans who re fuse to support Mr. Blaine this nomination will, in some repects, simplify the political problem. It removes from the list of contingen-cies, which they have had to con-sider, the possibility of a practical choice in November between Itlaiue and Itutler, or between lilaine and any ol the numerous partisans on whom it .seemed that the choice of a Democraticconventionmight fall. Their decision as to the course to be taken for the purpose of making their present opposition most ef-fective and with a view to their future political usotulncssncss can now be made without embarrass-ment from this cause, and will no doubt speedily give definite form to the political field. The Inevitable Revelation. Philadelphia Time. In I. The convention was the most thoroughly deliberate convention that bus met since the organization of the present parties, with the sin gle exception of the Lincoln con vention that started the Republi-can revolution in Chicago a quarter of a century ago. It was not wed detl tO Grover Cleveland; it was not for him as a man ; he had fewer personal acquaintances in the con-vention than had any successful candidate since Lincoln. He had no factions support outside ol hi want ot foreign policy professions cannot put it aside. The glare of a boasted torchlight brilliancy will not outshine it. The sober sense of an intelligent elec ,1 e , .very party—when it has lost sfght | and'ni^haYiiesTVim 'already 'ball the privileges the vetoed bill con .laiuy wttii it, even—and has become a mere cabal of political hucksters, who use it torate, the honest convictions and ' ""J.v to get into office and regard the patriotism of ten millions of tillers are appealed to, and they will settle this question conclusive-ly ami for the right. It is not only in what he clearly represents, but in what he distinct ly opposes, th.it (irover Cleveland is strong before the American | pie. His career has made him the e\| ill of clean and holiest poli-tics. III the administration of pub-lic trusts he has shown that he is superior to partisan bias, indiffer eilt to such party interests as are in conflict with official probity and the public welfare, lie has'been severely tried in the important and [!"„. responsible post he now occupies He has resisted the importunities of designing politicians -. he has de feated the purposes ot selfish schemers. All those members ol his own pariy who are not absorb. ed in private aims which are in conflict with the public good are outspoken in his praise, and he has won the good opinion of all Repub-licans who are not so far gone in partisanship as to hate lost the power to commend upright eon-duct in a political adversary. Favored as he is by the right thinking element of both the Demo eratie and Republican parties, it is a noteworthy and potent advantage to Grover Cleveland as a candidate that he has incurred the bitter bos tility of the worthless, disreputa-ble, and dangerous members of his own party. Tammany hates him. Butler sees no good in him. Could a candidate find stronger recnin inenda'.ioiis than this in the opinion of voters whose political action is shaped solely by considerations of public welfare ? The official act office only as a means for plunder ing the public treasury. That is i he condition of the Republican party.

Km from Bast and West, ti North ami South the most conservativi 1 resolute suppor-ters ot hones! Government united to nominate him as the fittest and best leader of the revolution that public profligacy and debauchery so imperiously invite. The battle in the Republican con-vent ion was unsuccessfully made the intense hostility of Tammany are the very acts which have most strongly commended him to the support of Independent Republi-cans. The fator ol these two classes of a wholly corrupt ami selfish gue-rilla contingent within the Demo-cratic party, and of men with whom plain common sense and the most oiiliiiary form of political honesty-are controlling influences, no one man. be he ever so skilful in the to rescue the party from its spoils :111 "' balancing, can hope or wish system and to elevate it to puter to possess, (.rover Cleveland had aims and efforts. The great popti- . ""' heeu one month in office as lar leader, with the proclaimed Governor of the State ot Xew York methods and expectations of the . before In- had decided in his own spoilsmen, commanded the appeal i "'i'"1 :,ll|l bad made plain to all oil citizens. The bitter and furious hostility of Tammany Hall anil of Gen. Butler to (Jov. Cleveland is his passport to the confidence of good men, and the general convic-tion that Tammany will do all that it can to defeat him will be an ad-ditional incentive to the voters who cannot support Mr. lilaine, and who are unwilling not to vote at all, to secure the election of a candidate whom the political rings and the party traders instinctively hate and unitedly oppose. So linn and "clean" and indepen-dent in his high office has Gov Cleveland shown himself to be, that be is denounced as not being a Democrat by his Democratic op-ponents. This denunciation springs from the fact that he has not hesi-tated to prefer the public welfare to the mere interest of his party. Last autumn, when the Democratic District Attorney of Queens coun-ty was charged with misconduct, the Governor heard the accusation and the defense, ami decided that i; was his dutt to remove the of-to the approval of the Republican but at a teat ful cost in the loss ol able and self sacrificing men who revere the tit fresh traditions of lb-publican fidelity to public in tegrity and lustrous patriotism. They fo lowed the soiled Republi-can ll.lg long after its leaders had betrayed and forgotton the great revolution that called it into the strife and gave it victory, but they made their final appeal for reform a month ago and were defeated. In despair of liepnbliean reform, they asserted the highest and no blest right ot the citizen. They re-volted and pointed as with one Voice to Grover Cleveland ns the on,- Democrat above all whose re cud i imaiided their hearty sup port. Then and not till then was Cleveland a prominent, a possiMe Candidate for President, and the battle for his nomination has been made upon issues so clear ami dis tinct that none can misunderstand them. He was nominated to-day not only because he was earnestly and honestly championed by the lust men and the best aims of the Democracy, but also because la-wns vindictively opposed by all who believe in the mockery of pro-fessed reform before elections to impregnable ground and in excel prostitute power to plunder alter lent company. It has closely watch servers that his official action was | ;.;v;;,|s -;, ££ , to he guided solely by Ins own in ' telligentjudgment of whnl the pub. lie interest demanded. And that is, above all, the safe and saving policy Ibr a President of the I'nitcd States. No I leuioci it w i 11i whom pat I iol ism is not subordinated to private grudges will withhold his vole from Grover Cleveland. (if Republicans, those who arc entirely satisfied that Blaine and Logan faithfully represent the principles upon w Inch the party that preserved the I'nion was founded will doubtless vote against him. Those of the Itepub bean faith who are repelled by the most unwise choice made af Chica-go last month will find no difficul-ty in voting tor him. since he is oi f tin- best representatives now to be found in public life of those administrative principles and re-form to which they are committed. A Democrat who has made enemies of the disreputable elements of his own party is not greatly to in- fear ed by Republicans, even when he is a candidate tor the Presidency. The Time* will heartily support Gov. Cleveland. In opposing Mr. lilaine it finds itself alreadv upon Beer, lie was asked by his party removal until after the election, as otherwise the party would lose the district by the opposition of the Attorney's Irienda The Governor understood his duty and removed the officer some days before the election, and tin- party did lose the district. This kind of courage and devotion to public duty in the teeth of the most virulent opposition of traders of his own party is unusual in any public man, and it shows precisely tin-executive quality which is de matided at a time when every form of speculation and fraud presses upon the public treasury under the specious plea of party advantage. The argument that in an election einor very aptly objected that it I was an interference with the tights i of the employes as well as employ-i ers. It was plain that if the ear drivers and conductors worked , fewer hours they would receive less pay. and the bill neither did nor I could prevent that. The Governor | concluded his objections by say-i ing: "1 cannot think this bill is in tiie interest of the workingmen." One charge remains againstGov , ernor Cleveland's vetoes. The last legislature made a small appropria-tion for a charitable institution known as the WcstchesterCatholic Protectory. The Governor struck it out, and the charge has been made that he was hostile to the Catholic Church as such. Mr. Henry L. Iloguet. president of the Protectory, says on this question: We never doubted the. sincerity of the motive which induced (iov. Cleveland to with hold his sigua lure to the appropriation to the Protectory. We thought then and think now that he was not actuated by any feeling of bigotry or of hos tility to Catholics or the ('a'.holic institutions. On the contrary, Gov. Cleveland is liberal in the extreme, anil we arc of the firm belief that he was led to with holding his ap-proval of the appropriation solely the lar: thedavs est majority given since of Radical Reconstruction.

How far I have been faithful to their trust remains fur others to say and lor history to write. (Cries of "You've done your duty .") But, my friends. I want to ask the pen-pie of North Carolina to put me under one more obligation to them. 1 cannot repay, I know, the many obligations I already owe: cut still I shall ask them to put me under just one other obligation. That little key that I hold in my hand I have carried and guarded for nearly six years. There is not much in the key itself, but it un-locks much. Whether I have faith-fully guarded that which it unlocks is a question for others to discuss. But that key is the key over which the contest in {forth Carolina is to be waged, for it is the key that un-locks the inner door to the (lover nor's office of North Carolina.
