Discrediting Cleveland.

Harper's Weekly. If the Democrats party wishes to remain a strong factor in American politics. It will have to disarm that distrust by a wise treatment of the fiancial problem still to be solved, and by the fulfilment of the promises with regard to the tariff policy ‘which found so much favor with the people in the national election of 1890 and 1892. It can no longer stake its fortunes upon the esteem in which Cleveland is held, for he will not remain its leader much longer; and, besides, the prestiage of his name, too, has been impaired by his deplorable action in the Van Alen case, and by the spoils politics which his administration has been carrying on. These things have played a subordinate, although by no means unimportant, part in the recent election, but they will shew their effect when public attention is no longer diverted from them by question of immediate urgency.
