About the only Presidential bureau that is
running In Washington now ia that Of Soma
tor pendleton's. He has his man horo
looking after his Interest, but In this Mr.. Pom
dleton does not practice what he breaches.
MFR. pendleton is q great oivil-serylce re-
former and ought TO furnish his own clerk at
his own expense to send of his political fodder
and garden seeds, but he don't. He mas man
on the payroll OF the Senate, and has h nd for
.tleman, Is not go handsome as to entitlo
him TO the honor OF simply playing the orna-
mental around Mr.. Pendleton's committee
room as clerk to the great civil'servlce re-
former.
speakingo of
Presidential Bureaus
and Presidential candidates with a we'll
posted politician this morning tho field, so far
az Democratic aspirations and chances arc
concerned, was pretty woll canvassed.
"who do you think" quericd THE CRITIC
reporter, "stands tho best show for tho nomi-
nation ON the Democratic ticket In 1882"
swell, from present appearances am OF tho
opinion that at this time General Hancock has
the best show, but It does not follow that he Is
the best man 10 win with; not that no Is not
honest, but General Hancocks education Is
that OF q military man. He has not that OK
perlence that n man should have In order to
scrupulous politicians. IL is, however, some
time before the convention meets to nominate
u candidate, and the people may conclude to
select delegates to the convention who VIII not
he controlled by the politicians. In that event
Hancock would stand but little show. I'll al.
ways bad policy TO run man for President
who has once been beaten at the polls
"Whom do you regard rs the best man for
the Democracy to go into the fight to win
withp"
"There are Just one OF two men that they
can win with. Either
stephen w. Field or Joseph Il. NC.
Donald.
Mr.. Field Is q Pacific coast man and would
command tho confidence of the entire business
interests Of the country, and no man can be
elected on the Democratic ticket In whom tho
business men OF the country have not tho most
implicit confidence; and tell YOU II must be
In the man, for the business mon, am sorry
TO say, have little or no confidence in the Dom
ocratic party as party. MIR. Field commands
tho unbounded confidence of every business
man In tho country. Mr.. Mcdonald is equally
MS strong In this particular as Mr.. Field. and
has other advantages which Mr.. Field does
not possess Mcdonald has been in political
ed in regard to the wants OF tho country,
knows every politician OF any note
in the United States, and would not be COM
PEELED to rely on any one for advice. Ho Is
particularly strong IN Indiana, and would, l
am told,
Command The Votes of n Great Many
Republicans.
HIS chances, however, depend largely on his
success In his State this fall. He has accepted
tho craftsmanship of tho Democratic State
Central Committee, and therefore he Will have
| the management OF the coming campaign. IL
he wins he is very apt to be the next Demo
| cratic nominee for the Presidency.
