The more prudent citizens of Chicago
are beginning to dig cyclone holes in an
ticipatiOn of the meeting of the National
Greenback convention in that city on the
9th of June
The little breeze in the Republican
party will subside to a soft zephyr Just
as soon as the Democracy will be so kind
the canvass of 1890.
The Syracuse Journal says that the
dark horses" clearly hold the balance
of power at the Chicago convention.
The swarthy complexion of Jack Logan
invests this assertion with at least a
measure of reliability.
Mr.. Tilden is not only in the field, but
he has it inclOscd with a barbed wire
fence, which renders it I'm extremely
nice undertaking for anything but an
iron clad candidate to infringe upon his
range. This a strictly Kansan meta
phOr.

Logan.

The Sherman organs in Ohio say the
chances for Sherman were never stronger
than today, and that they increase in
strength the nearer the convention is APP
preached. The prospects of the great
financier might be still further improved
by an indefinite pOstpOnement of the

The California workingmen have de
clared Thurman their first choice for
president. This is a somewhat tardy
though grateful recognition of the mag
nificent effort of the Ohio senator TO
straddle the financial question in 1878,
and his pathetic appeals in behalf of the
labOring classes during that campaign.
The St. Louis Globe Democrat the
great, original tOw-line journal, thinks
that Grant and Sherman will be the bat,
tie cry, and that the name OF the great
financier would strengthen the ticket in
Ohio and New York. This is the first
intimation received from that source
that the omnipOtence of General Grant
could be supplemented by any earthly
agency.
