An unknown exchange firp 9 the
following at kickers: If tlmre was
an ice cold lemonade spring in
every village garden, if bread grew
on sunflower stalks and every
blade of grass was tipped with a
$10 bill, a certain class of cranks
v<*uld kick because there were n O
sticks in the lemonade, no butler
on the bread and because the grass
did not produce $20 bills instead
of $10 bills.
/ Cleveland and The Presidency.
For the fourth time in recent
years, tbe name of Grover Cleve¬
land is prominently mentioned for
the highest office within the gift of
the j<fcople of these Unite l States
This very thing itself is nn ad¬
mittance of the greatness of the
man and the confidence his fellow
citizens have in him.
Mr. Cleveland is n great man
and will likely go down in history
as lli;; greatest president these
United States ever had. His place
in history is secure and his name
will live long after that of many
who enjoy a greater personal fol¬
lowing.
Bu^t notwithstanding this fact,
he could not enter into the arena
as a presidential factor. In the
first place, there is an unwritten
law that says no man shall be
president of the United States,
more than twice. Washington,
Jefferson, Jackson and Grant served
for two terms and in none of these
cases could either have been elect¬
ed for a third term. And again
Mr. Cleveland is a poweaful factor
in one wing of the democratic
party. The other wing is in the
hands of that brilliant Nebraskan,
Mr. Bryan. Mr Cleveland could
never exjiect to bag this w'ing and
the party could expect no success
without harmony between the two
elements.
To win in the presidential elec¬
tion, the democratic party will
t have to nominate a man ihat the
eastern and western democracy
can support and we feel that such
a man will be found.
The New York He rail lias asps
eial from Chicago in which there iV
a statement of the standing of
twenty-eight of the Democratic
N itional Committeemen on the
question of Mr. Cleveland's availa
biiity as a presidendial candidate.
Of this number three urn favorable
to Mr. Cleveland’s nomination,
seventeen are against it and eight
are non-committal, preferring to
wait for further development before
i-zyessuig an opinion.

How the Candidates Voted.
ot , possibilities ., .,- • r
The discussion . tor
r ;
the democratic nomination next
year has led to recent inquiries
about how the different men voted
at the election of i S 96 . Following
is a list made up by a man well in¬
formed or party matters:
Grover Cleveland, of New Jer
sey. Palmer and Buckner.
David B. Hill, of New York 1
Palmer and Buckner. •
Alton B. Parker, of New York,
Bryan and Sewell.
Arthur P. Gorman, of Maryland,
Bryan and Sewell.
David R. Francis, of Missouri,
Palmer and Buckner.
William C. Whitney, of New
York, McKinley and Hobart.
Carter Harrison, of Illinois, Bry.
an and Sewell.
Edward R. Shepard, of New
York, P.timer and Buckner.
Tom L. Johnson, of Ohio, Bryan
and Sewell.
Henry Watterson, of Kentucy,
Palmer and Buckner.
It will thus be seen that if the
above estimate of tbe voting in
iSqbis true, the only Eastern dem¬
ocrats who did not cut the Chicago
ticket were Judge Parker and Sen¬
ator Gortnau. It will be recalled
that Senator Gorman raised the
money with which Bryan started
his campaign in New York when
he came East to be notified at
Madison Square Garden, but was
cold-shoulder bv Bryan, because
Mrs. Bryan was convinced that the
support of the Marylander was not
sincere. After freezing Gorinau
out Mr. and Mrs. Bryan went to
see Hill and aski-d him to come out
for the ticket. He relused, and
from that day to this Hill has been
regarded by Bryan with the deep¬
est feeling of Hostility.—Washing¬

The Augusta Chronicle.
Last week the Augusta Chron¬
icle, the oldest newspaper in the
South, and for many years the
most powerful organ in the state,
was sold to Messrs. H. II. Cab
ioiss and Tin s. \\\ Loyless. They
took charge of their property
Monday and in the issue of Tues¬
day outlined its policy.
These two gentlemen are proba¬
bly the best known newspaper
men in the state, and the most
capable. Mr. Cabiniss life work
has been building up newspaper
plants; and the Atlanta Journal
owes its prestige to his wonderful
ability as an organizer and busi¬
ness manager. Mr. Loyless lias
held editorial positions on both
the Journal and Constitution and
as a puragrapher is in a class all to
himself.
Augusta is to be congratulated
on the addition of these two gen¬
tlemen to her fair city.
