THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK,

New YORK, June 16.-The Herald prints
an interview with Wm M. Gwinn at a New
York hotel, where he and Gov. Irwin are

California, though l an not one of them, will,

unit to support the nomination OF the man
whom the convention may deem the most
suitable. We are steady supporters OF the
unit rule, and we intend to adhere to it all
through. But our preference is for Field, and
we are supported in that preference by Ore
gon and Nevada, with very probably Colorado

four states are decidedly for Field. My own
conviction is that he is a political necessity.
If we are to win, and l think the Democracy
never had a better chance of winning, we
must unite upon some man who will allay all
the discordant elements of the party. Field

His Chinese decisions occasion some little
trouble. More, perhaps, in our own state
