His availability is ackno Wedge Field could
carry q solid South, end cur Old Dominion
would give him splendid msjority. He could
gain for VI, the Pacific States, tor it requires only
char s. Of tu! two par cent in the last Presi.
dentiaI election to add those States TO the Dem
ocrstic column.
The Judges advocacy on The Supreme bench
Ct The anti Chine % laws ne made him The idol
OF the people in that far off section.
Field is personally man Of determined cour-
age al iron nerve. His carly Lie was spent in
California in those days that tested men's brsy
cry and tilad :1oir msbho ID and backbone He
fought bis way up TO his present high posi- ion
by the sheer force Of his own strong will. Heis
OF that stern stuff that if elected he will take his
sea! IN the Presidential chsr-pescsably, If he
could, bat-well, it may sound like treason, but
be would not be counted out by any electoral
com mission, for he would insist that Demo-
cratic Congress should court the votes CT The
disputed States. and he would act by theic de-,
c:,ion. That is The type OF a man ho is.
Sunset Cox told me not long ago that any
Democratic candidate outside of New YORK.
could run better and draw larger vote than if
ne res ided in the Empire State, for there would
lhen be no petty Jealousy nor party rivalry.
mus strong man like Field could sweep Nc "
York and get the votes of all Republican anti
tnlio term clubs that have sprung up in that
State.
What grand fight the Democrats could
mako with such man as their stand bearer Pa
man whose private and whoae public life is with
out reprosch. whose loyalty even the bitters,t
Radical could not assail man who is one of
the finest and most learned constitutional law

and industry would teel it safe 10 trust; a man

under the most creditable circumstances. She

THE LINCOLNSHIRE HANDICAP.
The first English event Of the season in which
the American horses take part, and also the first
notable event of the year, is the Lincolnshire
Handicap. to be run at Lincoln, about 10 miles
northeast from London, next Wednesday. The
race is for 600 sovercfgns, added to a sweep
stakes of 20 sovereigns each; half forfeit The
winner of any race after jan. q at 10 a. m. to
carry seven pounds extra; Of two races, or one
Of the value Of 200 sovereigns, twelve pounds
extra. The second horse receives 50 sovereigns
out IF the stakes, and the thlrd suves his stake.

tho American horses could not possibly beat
anything bred In England or the Continent
The disastrous experience OF 1871 was lesson
enough, however, and this year the American
horses have BEEN 70 well looked after in the
matter Of weights that it is doubtful it any uf
them will be nbte to show in front
during the season.. Especially is this true in the
case of Parole and Falsetto, they having been
assigned the top weights in nearly every event
where they art engaged, and. while the 3-year
ods have not been SO badly treated, they will
still hare plenty to do if they win.
In spite of the fact that ParuIe was to carry
more than any other horse in the Lincolnshire
Handicap. he become first fayorit ~ soon us the
weights were made known. At last accounts,
however, he had reached to fifth place on ac-
count OF rumor that he world not start. but
this rumor has no foundation in fact. and he
will certainly be at the post, as his condition is
reported as frst-class. That Parole is very
uncertain horse is vel! known on this
