THE
PEOPLE'S
CHOICE.
I.v the National Democratic
the nominee must get two-thirds of
nil the votes. Tina insures nn almost
unanimous nomination and ives the
party a man upon whom all can unite.
Gen. Trncey, a warm friend of Cleve-
hud, has tabulated the returns from the
States that have held conventions and
figured on the result of those yet to hold
and ho is very sanguine that tho ex-president
will be.noraiuHted on the 2d
ballot: Thirty-two States and Territories
give him 415 votes, to 1S5 against
him. Of tho IS States yet to epeak the
general calculates that his man will get
90 votes, not counting Kentucky's,
which are sure to go to him. This would
give Mr. Cleveland within 90 votes of
the nomination on the first ballot and
on the eecond a practically unanimous
nomination. The general's estimates
appear conservative enough and wo hope
and believe he iB right.
The State convention ought to instruct
for Cleveland and require the delegation
to vote as a uuit, since more than
nine-tenths of the democrats of the
State are for him, but we expect the result
will be about as follows: Cleveland
will bo endorsed in the strongest terms,
Carlisle will be recommended and a
delegation favorable to Cleveland sent
without instructions. If good, reliable,
conservative men are named to represpnt
Kentucky, they are sure to stand for
Mr. Cleveland m loni as there is a
chance for him, and not let him be
knifed because the politicians, who can
nobusa him, have willed it.
