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. j"*lt this talk of Mr. Cleveland Hi CO mection with the nomination is not i ^ing the party harm.

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¬ ton Post. 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. Washin Notis.
