I The New York World Is actively I booming Cleveland for the Democratic | nomination for president next year and a says that "the whole question resolves Itself into this: What other Democrat . is as strong as Cleveland?" It consid ers that there is none. And yet It wishes "he could wipe from his record ' the bond syndicate chapter and the - shocking page of the Venezuelan ines i sage."
