Albany Journal notes the Republican National Convention shields Blaine from slander with firm support and calls out Democratic misrepresentation. It argues the nation’s future rests with Blaine, praising his intellect, character, and leadership while criticizing Democratic tactics.
At the Iowa State Republican Convention Hon. J P B Dolliver was elected Temporary Chairman and delivered a vigorous address praising the party. He denounced Democrats, urged unity, blamed reformers, and hailed Republican leadership under Cleveland era themes, closing with gratitude to the convention.
The Independents call the race moral over political, while clergymen highlight issues of tax cuts Civil-service reform and finance. They doubt Cleveland’s convictions or practical grasp of banking currency and tariff policy, noting Democratic leaders would guide his stance. The press remains divided over whether Cleveland can restore a real character to the canvass or present a substantive platform.
Briefs and opinions from multiple papers lampoon Grover Cleveland and James Blaine, noting Cleveland’s brevity, editorial skepticism of his political depth, and the Republican push. Commentators discuss party platforms, election prospects, and the sense that conventions will determine the main contenders in the race.
Eastern dispatches say the Independent movement led by Carl Schurz and George William Curtis has halted as voters realize the leaders were duped by a Southern gang at the Chivazo convention. The crisis undermines Cleveland’s moral ground, and Democrats see New York swinging to Bisiue with a larger margin.
