Show CLEVELAND'S CIIAJiCKS. Yesterday was a bad day for Mr. Ci.kve-! Ci.kve-! I.AXD. Kentucky declared "forninsf 'iihu Kentucky, which his idmirera claimed could not be taken away from him by auy rnachiuations of the choleric Watteksccn", or by any combination of politicians that could be mustered. Washington, the Associated Press says, "endorsed Ci.kv;:laxi, bat did not instruct for him.'' That is a bad symptom for the e: -president becau.se the associated press always gives him the best coloring; possible. Colorado cheered lin t, and ig. nored Cetejlnd. Idaho didn't, do much of anything, while South Dakota expressed her "faith in Groves ("levei. vxi," but stopped at that, and the BoiEfl feei-ing feei-ing was uppermost. Thus the only crumb of comfort for the ex. president from all the democratic conventions con-ventions held yesterday can be found in New Jersey where the. delegates were instructed in-structed for him, but even there a break occurred oc-curred immediately after the election when Governor Aisbott declined to pledge his vote for Cleveland on the ground that lie did not want to act as a inero messenger mes-senger to the national convention. We did not believe Cleveland's chances for nomination were very bright a month ago. They are not as bright today as they were then. |
