al should oppose them for the same reasons.
Every one Of them would In party emergency
support General Grant for third term"
~And on the Democratic side."
TMDEE.
"There are three questions which come up in
connectien with his possible nomination First
can he be electedt Do the people regard him
% innocent Of or a. having been personally In
terested In the cipher dispatch business? II any
considerable portion Of either or both political
parties believe him to have been knowingly q
party to that affair that win become . serious
consideration Secondly-Are there in the Dem
ocratic party elements 80 hostile TO him, either
In New York State or elsewhere, ss to make his
election impossible were he nominatedf Thirdly
is his state Of health and physical vigor such
that he could or could not stand the canvass and
the subsequent toll and exhaustion which neces-
mrily attend the ofnce?"
That's non committal"
Should Tildeu be nominated and his election
dogma, should undoubtedly support him. But
should there be . third candidate, man who
would stand greater chance of defeating third
term, might support him in preference"
BAYARD AND THURMAN.
"They were identified with the Electoral Com
mission. II would be qualification and suicide
On the part of the Democratic party to take up
either Of them"
How viii Hendricks DOR
HENDRICKS
No. he Is too small pattern. He is q very
respectable, conservative man; would make Q
frytr4te vestrymAn- Hehasn't breadth, courage,
or force enough to ill Andrew Jackson's place. -
Whom would the Sun be likely to favor?"
PALMER.
"The most available man against General
Grant would probably be John n Palmer Of IL
inOis. He has been twice Governor of Illinois,
and his war experience a. Q semi-civil admins
trAtive officer and the General showed @tisfac-
tory executive qualities That he has never
been in Congress Is not TO his disadvantage.
Against any other man than Grant, General
Hancock would be very strong candidate. He
has clear record, especially ON the relations Of
the military to the civil power. There Is nothing
more admirable in all our history than the dec
larations put forth by him when in command Of
lDC OcpakI u1Cut Vi IOuict1u8 hItcI Tue wal. any
statesman might be proud Of them. They say
he IL not politician, but men who are not at ali
politicians are 1T for Office. But It s not desira
bic 70 run one military man against another as q
candidate. II the Republicans should nominate
Blaine or Washbwne, Hancock would be availa-
BILE
Judge Davis would be fair candidate, and
wOuld attract conservative Republican votes. II
does not, however, seem probable that the Dem
ocrAts win take him mp. He has few immediate
personal friends, and hardly personal or politi
cal party behind him.
In some respects Judge Stephen j. Field
would be an available man. That he ID on the
Supreme Court bench should not necessarily
be against him. The difficulty would be tina
he is thought to be too friendly to the Pacific
Railway corporations Besides, the Fields d.
not seem to be popular family.
RANDALL.
al believe Samuel J. Randall would make ar
excellent Presideut-a frst-rate President Blu
the delegation from Pennsylvania is not likely
to be for him. That fact is rather creditable Il
him personally. II he were friend OF the plum
deres about Harrisburg, he might have the del
egation. Bot then nobody would want to have
him"
