Opinion or the rtoms nation.
(New York World.)
The Republicans who were not at
all pleaned with the defeat of Blaine
are inclined to be discouraged over
the nomination of Cleveland.
Ex-Senator Donarld MeNaughton
said ro The World correspondent :
'Now that Mr. Cleveland has won
the nomination there is no doubt
that he will receive the aggressive
support of an enthusiastic p nty.'
District-Attorney Eiton said :
"It was the voice of the party calU
inp; for its old leader in recognition
of his sterling honesty and his de
votion to the cause of Democracy.
I have too much respect for Senator
nill and his admirers to doubt for
a moment that the nominee will
receive the support of ihe whole
Democratic part,."
Stat Superintendent of Public
Buildings Delehanty said : 'Iie
will receive the vote of every Dem
ocrat and will carry New York
State."
Col. William G. Rice, who was
Gov. Hill's private Secretary during
his first term, said : "The nomi
nation of Mr. Cleveland is, in my
opinion, the strongest that could
be made, so far as both Ihe State of
New York and the other doubtful
States are concerned. I have care
fully studied the figures of elections
for several years past in this State
and the study convinces me that no
other Democrat has shown himself
to likely to get our full vote as Mr.
Cleveland. No truer Democrat than
Grover Cleveland has ever been put
in nomination, and whatever differ
ences of opinion may have existed
before the Chicago Couvenlion our
whole duty now and until election
is to use honorably every means
within our reach to see that the
nominee and platform are approved
by a majority of the people in No
vember." Attoruey-Geueral Rosendale
"The nomination of Mr. Cleveland
ought to inspire every Democrat
with confidence. The principles
of modern Democracy, the Democrai
cy of Tilden and Manning, are wor
thily typified in Grover Cleveland,
lis nomination was urged and inn
sisted upon by the great body of
the Democratic party of the conn-
try.
'In 1884 Mr. Cleveland resided in
Albany and especial iuteresi in the
campaign centred here. The pros
pect of success to-day is better than
it was at the outset of that cam
paign. I firmly believe that mat
ters in this State will be well man
aged, and I predict that it will be
a growing' campaign and prove a
victorious one.'
MlDDLETOWN, N. Y,, June 23.
The most enthusiastic meeting of
the kind ever known in this city
was held in Fraufclin Square to
night to ratify the nomination ot
Cleveland and Stevenson. A na
tional salute was tired, two bunds
played, bonfires burned on mauy
street cornors and the air was ablaze
with fireworks. George W. Galla
way presided and resolutions were
adopted indorsing the candidates
and the platform. Addresses were
made by George W. Greene, of
Goshen, and William Yanamee, of
this city. The friends of Ilill were
not behind in the cheering.
BlNGHAMTON, N. Y., June 23.
A great throng of Democrats aud
mauy Republicans united to-night
in ratifying the nomination of
Cleveland. The city is ablaze with
red fire and skyrockets. Every
mention by the speakers of Cleve
land's name elicits prolonged cheer
ing. Dansville, N. Y., June 22. The
Democracy ot Diunvdle fired ot.e
hundred guus today upon receipt
of the news from Chicago, and a
large new American flag was un
furled on Main street. Arrange-
Iments iue being made for a grand
ratification meeting.
Ithaca, N.Y., June 23. A salute
I of forty-live guus was fired here iu

with parades aud pyrotechnics.
Flags are flying and cannon have

UTICA, N, Y., June 23, One
hundred guus were fired from three
different places in this city this
morning in honor of Cleveland's
nomination. There w;is a parade
with fire-works this evening.
Troy, N. Y , June 23 The Troy
Democratic Club ratified ttte nomi
nation of Urover Cleveland at 4j
o'clock this morning by firing 100
guns.
W.A tertown, N. Y., June 23.
Forty f our guns were fired ly the
Democrats here this morning in
ratification of Cleveland's nominal
tion. A ratification meeting was
held this evening.
Democrats generally speak in
high praise of the ticket nominated
at Chicago. They believe also that
Tammany Hall will true to the
party and support Cleveland earn -estly.
Here are a few scraps or
Democratic sentiment :
J. H. Sweetser, ot Sweetser,
Pembrook & Cc. I think Cleveland
was the man to nominate and he is
the man to elect. Without refer
ence to politics, he gave us a good
and clean admiuistiation when he
was President, and he will do the
same thing again.
Michael Blake, Cierk of the Board
of Aldermen I wculd have liked to
have seen Ilill selected, but I am
satisfied with Cleveland. It's non
sense to talk a'DOut Tammany kuif
mg the ticket. Tammany will poll
a full vote and Cleveland aud Stes
venson will gel it all.
Dommodore Elbridge T. Gerry
I am a Hill Democrat, but I'll vote
for Cleveland. He will be elected
beyond doubt. New York will
stand by him, and 1 confidently ex
pect that be will carry Illinois and
Indiana.
This is what the Harlem Demo
crat8 say of the ticket :
Dawyer Benjamin Franklin I
think the ticket will win, I am
i sorry , though, that Mr. Cleveland
I could not have received the vote of
i the delegates of this State. It
would have given the Democrats
throughout the country more en
couragement to worU. As Tamma
ny haa stated that it will support
the ticket, I have no doubt that
Democracy will triumph in tbe
State and consequently in the
Union.
B. S. Simons I think tbe Dem.
ocratic ticket is a winner. I have
always had a great faith in Cleve
land. Daniel P, Hays The Democratic
ticket 1 consider a very strong one
It, eliminates all personalities from
the campaign and makes it one of
principle. I am a Tammauy mau
and I believe that Tammany Hall
will loyally support fhe ticket. Ev
ery Tammany man whom I have
1 met says the same thing.
H. W. Heifer I am positive the
ticket will win. I would not be
surprised if Cleveland could be
elected without the vote ot New
York. Look out for a revolution in
some of the Western States.
Congressmen Ashbel P. Fitch I
think it is an excellent ticket aud it
will be elected.
Democrats in Brooklin talk en
thusiastiGally for the ticket. Here
is what si few ot them tay :
Thomas H. Troy I
believe MrJto the Piess:
Cleveland wdl carry this State and
. ,
the earnest effort of
t will be with
David B Hid
Capt, John Eou Cleveland will
carry this State by between 30,000
and 10,000 majority.
D. J. Haggerty We will carry
the Twenty first Ward for Cleveland.
Alderman Heaney Cleveland is
the f longest mau in the p-itv, and
is sure to win.
Ex-Assembly man P. K. McOann
It is a good ticket, and will win
without fail.
Jodah B. Yoorhees The people
wauted Cleveland and he will be
elected.
Ex-United States Marshall Staf
ford Cleveland is from the people
of the people aud for the people.
His maj nty in the tountiy will be
greater than any candidate, ever re-
ceived.
John F. James, real estate agent
It is the best nomination the
Democratic party could lmve made.
I believe he will be elected.
The prominent men in the labor
unions arc mostly all Democrats
and their views concerning the
nominations are in regard to the
relative merits of Cleveland and
Hill. The. head- of various trades
unions express themselves as fo!
lows :
II. V. Clayton, VarnisherV Uuion
and Secretary ot the Board ot Walk
ing Delegates Cleveland is the
best, man we could hav. I am glad
he is nominated, and shall vote for
him.
Edward Mclaughlin, Progressive
Painters' Union No. 61 should
have voted for Blaine if ho had
been nominated, but prefer Cleve
land to Hairisou. It Tammany act
squarely b' him, as I think they
will, he will carry the State.
Owen Harvey, of the Yarnishers'
Union I wanted Cleveland and
am glad he is nominated, and you
bet he will win.
Charles Schlecht, United Broths
erhood of Carpenters and Joiners
Cleveland is first class and it was
impossible to find a better man. I
shall do my best for him.
E. B. Murphy. Paper-Hangers'
Cleveland was my choice aud I
am glad he was nominated. WTe
shall uow have a good campaign
aud I think Cleveland will win.
Paul Walther, Cement Laborers'
Union The Democrats should carry
this State with such a man as
Cleveland at their head. I ahall
vote for him,
Chris Jaiobseu, EuglishSpeak
ing Farmers It should have been
Hill, for Cleveland will have a bard
time to beat Harrison. I will vote
for him.
A. S. Heiuricb, Marble Cotters
Helpers I vote the Democratic
ticket, but would rather have seen
Hill at the head than Cleveland.
W. H. Horan. Stairbuilders
Cleveland is good, but Hill would
have been better.
John Frewen, Progressive Paint
irs' Union No. 3 Cleveland is tbe
best man we sould have, much bet
ter than Hill, and 1 think he can
win.
William Ivory, Electric Wiremen's
Union Cleveland will do, but I am
not enrap'ured with him. I would
much have preferred a Western
man.
John Talker, Steamtitters' Union
and President of tbe Board of dele
gates I like Cleveland and believe
he will draw more independent votes
than any other man. It the party
acts honestly he will win easily.
Richmond Dispatch : kWe exs
pect Mr. Cleveland to sweep the
country. Itdo s not seem possible
that the mau who carries Ne-v York
Stnte in his hands and shows in all
the other States a strength never
before manifested by any man, can
be iu any danger of defeat at the
ballot ox."
Chattanooga News : "The nomi
nation of Cleveland is a good thing
for the Democracy, the platform
adopted is a stroujj bid for the suc
of nine Demociacv. and the

'-What ot Illinois V
Exultant Democrats are proclaim
ing that Illinois 24 votes in the E
leetoral College will surely be given
to Cleveland and Stevenson, while
conservative members of the pailyj
say that the State is debatable at i
this time, and with a united parl
and hard work it can be won iu No
vember next.
All agiee, however, in predicting
the election ot Judge, Altgeld, the
Democratic gubernatorial candidate,
by majorities i aiming from 15,000
upward. His candidacy is regard
ed as the strongest possible one
that could have been made in the
State for the Democracy, because of
his peculiar elements ot strength
fie is an untiling campaigner. He
lias been iu the field since last April
and he has already covered the State
once and establifched Altgeld clubs
in every town and village. General
Stevenson is likewise a hustler in a
canvass.
Both men are fearless on the
jfurap. Theie is not a better cam
paign orator in the State than Ste
venson. Judge Altgeld is noted for
his scholarly attainments and has a
nide reputation in this part of the
country for his writings on social
economic subjects. Add to this the
turtber fact that the judge is wealthy
et ougb to permit of his expending
8500,000 in tbe campaign for organ
iztion purposes, and one can read
ii' recognize that the leaders of the
G. O. P. have every reason to feel
alarmed over the situation.
Before going any further into the
situation it is necessary to explain
the trouble that has arisen among
the Lutherans and Ihe part they
will play in the campaign. Nb;e
tetiths of ali the Lutheran voters in
the State ara Republicans, or a:
least have been up to a few yrars
ago, wheu the theu Republican
Legislature of Illinois parsed a
school law fashioned after that of
the objectionable Bennett. law in
Wisconsin, which resulted iu the
routine of the Republicans of that
S'ale and the election by the Dem
ocrats of Gov. IVck
Gov. Pfeiffer was appealed to by
a big delegation of Lutheran
preachers to veto the bill. He not
only signed ir, bur. added insult to
ii jury by hi scant courtesy to the
members of the cloth. The Luthe
rans have their o.vn parochail
schools, where many of the students
are taught in their mother tongue.
The State undertook to take charge
of these schools and direct the man
ner in wbieb they should be con
ducted. Ihe refusal of the Lutheransto
ie.cogu.ize the State's authority was
followed by the State educational
officers deelaiiug the schools not
schools within the meaning of the
act, and under the compulsory sec
tion of the law, they instituted pros
' seditions in 1!0 lustauces agaiusi
parents for not sending their cbjli
dreu to public schools.
The parents were fined, aud then
such a howl wan raised by the great
body of Lutheraus that the State
authorit es concluded to allow the
law to remain in statu quo.
But the Lutheraus were mad all
over, and they set out to revenge
themselves on the party they had
always served. It was largely
through their efforts that the last
Legislature was made Democratic,
which not only'sent JobnJM, Palmer
to the United States Senate, but
silso repealed the objectionable law.
In that campaign they organized a
State central committee of their
own: They distributed their elec
tion tickets at the doors of their
churches on the Sunday preceding
the election and had their people at
the polls on election day.
This State central committee had
much lodo with the nomination ot
Jnitge Altgeld. It in fact endorsed
Altgeld, and it was the indorsement
that pincticaly won him the nomi
nation over ex-lVnsion Commimion
er Genera Back ami Judge Huner.
The framers of the Democratic
nationa patform took gnod care to
recognize the Lutheran vote in that
document. Iu section 11 it con
demns, in the name of th party,
the oppression practiced by the
Russian government upon its Lu
theran and Jewish subjects ami
caVs upon the naiioua government
by a1 just and proper means to use
lis prompt and best fl'oits to stop
this proseension. The Repubican
nationa p.it forte, speaks ony of
the abuses practiced on the Jewish
subjects of the Czar. The Demo
cratic patform aso takes strong
ground with the Lutherans in their
schno tight. It says:
''Freedom of education being es
sentia to civi and reigious iberty
as we as a necessity for the devel
opment of inteigence, must not be
interfered with, We are opposed
to State aw interfering with par
ents' rights and the tights ol the
education of chidren as an
infringement of the fundamental
Democratic doctrine, that the urgent
individual iberty consistent with
the rights of others insures the
highest type ol American citizenship
and the best government."
This was inserted specially to
cover the situation iu this State and
Wisconsin. The Democratic man a
gfrrs in the latter State insist m the
most positive terms that Wisconsin's
12 votes will be given to Cleveland
and Stevenson. The Lutherans left
the Republican party in that fetate
and they have been steadily voting
wi'h tbe Democrats ever since.
There have been four elections in
Wisconsin since they broke away
from the Republicans, ami iu boih
State and town elections it has been
demonstrated that they are still
sticking by their Democratic friends.
L. Wr. Neiman, editor of t lie
Milwaukee Journal, who was in
attendance sit, the Democratic na
tional convention, says there is
hardly si doubt of Wisconsin be
ing carried for Cleveland. The
Lutherans ol Wisconsin and Illi
nois are lighting the same battle,
and esich has been a great help to
the other in the contests in which
they have been engaged in their
respective St sites.
Washington HessiriL'. editor ol
the Illinois Staats fitting, says
that S5 per cent of the Lutheran
Republican vote in Illinois will
be cast for Altgeld.
At a meeting of the Republican
State Committee, held in this city
a little over si week ago, one of
the members of that body, who is
regarded sis si representative Lu
theran, plsiinly told the committee
that they had lost the Lutheran
vote of the Stale, and this loss he
placed at .'.V00 votes. The
speech was published in sill the
Chicago papers. As Harrison's
majority in ISSswas 2i105, it will
be seen that if the representation
of this Republican committeeman
is onlv partly true the State is
lost.
There has been one State elect
ion upon the school issue since
this tight started. The ollicial
voted for was Superintendent of
State Schools. The Democratic
nominee, Raab, beat Prof. Ed
wards, the Republican candidate.
