Show OUll GROVEK, To be Nominated Governor of New York. The Unique Teat for Estimating- the Chances of Democracy for Carrying-the Carrying-the Presidential Election Next Year. New Yoiik, August 12. The VorM will say in an editorial : 'The Democratic Demo-cratic state committee meet to-day. I This is the lirst step Li a campaign of j extraordinary importance, in which j the Democratic party c-inuot afford to j make any mistake. The party w:ll I ;o ed New York's ihirty electoral Votes j next year. Jt has need lo emphasize ; itself this 5 ear on its choice of a candi-! candi-! dale !"' governor of New York. The j .!.!: nan to nominate isGrover Cleve-i Cleve-i Now tii.it viov. Hill has taken ; iiim.-elf out oi consideration, Mr. I Clevi U-.nd best fulfills the requ remenis of the case. More. .vcr, there ate pe culiar reasons why Mr. Cleveland should go before the j i'ojde of this state in this way and at t:;is time, lie is a candidate for the IX-nh -cratic, nomination nomina-tion next ye;:r. His candidacy for that high honor rests, of course, upon the assumption that he an surely carry New York, without whose electoral vote the narty would have small hope of success. The assumption that he can do so is stoutly maintained by some and as stoutly denied de-nied by others. It is of the utmost consequence con-sequence that the questiou shall be subjected to the critical test before the time comes for the selection of national candidates. This year's election atl'ords an opportunity for such a test. If Mr. Clevelnid, as candidate for gov ernor, can demonstrate Ins ability to carry New York his claim to consideration considera-tion for a higher place will be weighed w ithout the embarrassment of a doubt as to his strength now. If he cannot carry the state, it is extremely desirable desira-ble that the fact should be made clear in time to save the party from making a disastrous blunder in 18;2. In the parly's interest, therefore, and equally in his own. Mr. Cleveland should stanu again in this important function for the great office of governor of New York. ACntted Democracy Can Beat Blaine. Nakkaoansktt Pier. August 12. -enator Carlisle in an interview to-day, discussed the political situation at length. Speaking of the third party lie said : "I regard the measure of the third party ticket in the field in '92 as contingent. con-tingent. Suppose the Republicans nominate Harrison, who is pronounced in his anti-Silver belief, and the Democrats Dem-ocrats place Cleveland at the head of the ticket. Cleveland has placed himself him-self against free coinage. The third party could then be Cfmlronted by the horns of the dilemma. Probably they would have a ticket of their ow n. ll either one of the two great national parlies should nominate a man who is deposed to coquette with the silver people, be would attract the atten ion of the alliance vote. The Republicans i will not consent to stand by Mr. Blaine I w ho enjoys considerable pt rsonal j popularity in the Democratic parly, j largely owing to the course of the Dem-i Dem-i ocratic press, which made him out as me opponent oi me iorce uui anu the I McKinley bill, but he he is really as high a protectionist as the worst of them all. He struck a popular chord when he sang out reciprocity, and is now reaping the benefit of his ow n popularity. pop-ularity.

Reign, of Alabama, one of the ablest men on the Democratic side of the Senate, is here. "I do not believe Cleveland will again lie our candidate for the Presidency," said the Senator. "In my opinion he j threw away his chances when he wrote j his silver letter to the Reform club.
