Worse and Worse.

Henry Watterson’s very uncomplimentary opinion of President Cleveland was copied in this paper lately from the Indianapolis Journal and now we copy what he says of Stevenson. Mr. Watterson was asked his opinion of the probable result of the death of Mr. Cleveland, in the light of the recent rumor to that effect. The Louisville editor threw up his hands and exclaimed: “My God! Where would we be at if Cleveland should die? But seriously, Stevenson would be a much worse man in the presidential chair than Mr. Cleveland. He is not the man of affirmative power of Mr. Ciex eland and the country would be th e loser. His opin ions on all the great questions of publicinterest and importance are fatally indefinite, and chaos would follow.” . The outlook is s*d for democrats when they can see no good in either of their chosen heads of government.
