The Presidential Year by Watterson Sparks Debate
The piece criticizes the 1880 presidential clash involving Cleveland Blaine and the mob mentality surrounding the election. It questions the motives of leaders and soldiers, laments political vanity, and urges voters to seek honesty and service over ambition, warning of swift denunciation for flawed leaders.
Cleveland Again Seen As 1884 Presidential Nominee
The New York World and other Eastern Democratic papers foresee an 1884 contest pitting Cleveland against Blaine. It argues solid Democratic states favor Cleveland, with New York’s delegation potentially at odds, risking party unity if it dictates the convention.
National Democratic Convention and Cleveland Nomination Debate
The text argues the National Convention will likely act to justify its course and claim the February gathering lacked full Democratic judgment for New York. It says a two thirds majority has rights a small minority must respect and that a Blaine win would sharpen the push to nominate Cleveland. The World pledges to mobilize to ensure the next president is a Democrat.
