PRESIDENTIAL TALK.

Several Democratic newspapers arr
urging the National Committee to cal
i the National Convention at Philadel
phia on the Fourth Of July. The Bali
more Gazette favors this plan, because
the enthusiasm Of the day would hell
the delegates to a patriotic nomination
and because tho party would thus avail
ituelf OF the blunders made by the Re.
publicans ia rpviving old war cries fol
Issues, and going to Cincinnati instead
Of PHILADELPHIA to nominate their ticket

Our ticket, Morton and Blaine. meets
with favor and has winning qualities.
They are both representative Repub-
leans, which Is good thing to start
with. The independent press and sup
gags are trying to force the party 10 20
outside OF the party for a ticket. This
they cannot do Indianapolis Journal

except possibly Mr.. Washburne, would
be sure to encounter strong personal
opposition. The leaders Of tho party In
power have that penalty TO pay for the
positions they hold. They cannot com
mand a nomination themselves; but

II Is bad for tho third-term spook that
IL appears during the Centennial year
The patriotic fervor which begins to
glow to-day will increase steadily AZ the
year advances, and il IL a kind OF fervor
which is not adapted to the materiali-
zation OF spooks OF 80 obnoxious u

The infiationists OF tho South put a
prompt veto on tho assertion that Sen
ator Thurman Is strong as u Presiden-
tial candidate In their section. The
Nashville American remarks: ut needs
no argument to satisfy those ut all
familiar with the course OF Mr. Thur
man In the last two compaigns in Ohio
that he cannot lead the Democracy OF
that State to victory. This Is a sufficient
reason why Southern Democrats do not
desire his nomination for the Presi-
dency. "-Nec York Tribune.
Our predictions are decidedly in
favor OF a New York man, and we
believe the first choice of New York will
be conferred upon its most eminent
living statesman, Roscoe Conkling OF
Hayes OF Ohio for Vice President. This
would be u ticket that would sweep the
states In tho coming Presidential |
contest. Os,ceg0 Times (Rep.)

The Republican party of Indiana is

Morton Is of prime Importance
Indianapolis Journal (Rep.)
Il has become quite evident of late
hat Gov. Hendricks is growing in the
avor OF tho Ohio Democracy us their
candidate for the Presidency. The in
lationists seem to regard him as about
he right sort or n man for them. A
Columbus correspondent of the Cincin-
lGG Enquirer says Mr.. Hendricks Is
Ilmost the unanimous second choice of
ho Democrats Of the State now, and
many of them have said that unless I
ohio can agree upon candidate they
would like to soc the delegation solid
or Hendricks.
Perhaps 1t all arises from jealousy,
nut outside OF Indiana there seems to
" no one who regards the nomination
L Messrs. Hendricks and Morton for

ynored entirely.-Ne,o York Tribune.
Presidential gossip is plenty and 6
arious. A Washington correspondent 9
ends this contribution to the Cincin- !
att Commercial: For some days past {
here has been a large number of South J
IN Federal officials here in Wash
lgton, probably 80 in all, from various |
arts Of the South. They have held {

N in the South in favor Of Bristow {,
