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.

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

there shall be a Republican or a
