When the Democratic ddegates aepnr- . fd al Chicago, all ol them, except Gen, H itler St-emed to he satisfied with the ..latform. Kvtrythirty appeared barmottl. otts, and the air was full of conoid*'io between the opposing (actions. Their struggles w-re over, the two ideas on the subject of revenue w» re to bo laid aside for a time, ami they we*e all to go to work with tlte single purpose of electing Growr Cl*-veland President Now, however, there Is a decided wrangle again over the qnc-riion rtf the tariff, and it must he s,id that the freetraders seem determined i«»••»«.: thdnucivrsnnea more as thev did In the effort to pass the Morri son bill, tegard eas of tbe consequences to the Democratic canvass. Yet It i* known that fou- vears ago the Republicans car ried the 8tateof New York and the Preri- denlial election by bringing this same question of the tariff’into the very front of tbe contest, while the same sentiment that turned the Htate in favor of the Republi cans in 1880 is likelv to bo equally In fluential fi* Ohio and Connecticut, and even threatens to make New Jersey a Re publican 8tate. There is certainly no reason to think that (he free traders have been induced to take this conne on account of any dissatisfac tion with their success at Chicago. They were suited with the tariff plank, and per fectly satisfied as to the candidate's sym pathy with their plan of dtaling with taxa tion. For example, our esteemed contem porary, tbe Galveston Daily A’nw. says, n speaking of Grover Cleveland, that, 'were he a protectionist, he would not have stood tbe least chance of being nominated for President by tbe July convention, and were fie to renounce his principles now it wool I be ratal to hla candidacy.” No doub- th** revenu- reformer* accepted Mr. Cleveland cherrfolly became they were convinced he wa* a good enough free trader for them. Moreover, it was this charac'erfstlc that particularly recommended bitu to the independents who had left the Republican party. They were in the main favorable to the plans of the tariff reformers. Why, then, should the Democrats, who began the campaign m such complacency and inward gratific itfirn over their pros |tects, s- ddenly start off a course t»*at must inevitably lead |o defeat at the c*>nt ing election? The on'y res*onab!e expla nation Is that they have become convinced that their candidate is destined to be de- feated, and that they stand no chance of success In eulogizing a morality that does not exist. They come back to the ebampiontblp of their idea! principle and nail heir colors to tbe raa*t They see the Ship Is bound to sink, ami they wish to go down under their own flag. in view of tbli situation, it is to be re gretted that tt\e is-ue was not made for scrota ous.
