another Prominent Democrat Detcrta Cleveland. Provtoekc®, Oct 3.—General John M. Brennan, ah astute Democratic politician, in discussing the politicaiaffair* *f the state and nation, said: : 15 The Democrats cannot win in Rhode Island, for they have nothing whatever to win on. The national party very foolishly went to the country with a defeated candidate, and they cannot recover the presidency. Cleveland was defeated with the federal government behind him and more than 100,300 officeholders, all of whom ought to have been with Cleveland, but they were in the majority against him, and when the election came around again in 1888 they largely voted for Harrison. There is but one logical conclusion to this part of the political outlook, and'that is, What can Cleveland do without the federal patronage in 1892 when he could not win with it in 1888? Cleveland, who became so jocular and grotesque in his thousands of pension vetoes to the poor Union soldiers’ claims, wiU neverbe forgiven. He drove many nails in his political coffin when he made those,vetoes- Ho one in all this country ever hoard before of a candidate going to the people as a nominee for a great office against the expressed wishes and desires of the state delegation whence he came. Hi the November elections in Rhode island the Democrats will be sure to see to it that the Cleveland following choose two Mugwump candidates as the nominees for congress, and they can go down with the ill starred Coterie of managers who expended so much money to secure the Cleveland delegates to the Chicago convention. These same Mugwumps in'Rhode Island caused the defeat of the Democratic party in this state in the last April eleotion. . ■ ; .
