Room for Morrison.
Kansas City Journal.

Kansas city journal.
Morrison, OF Illinois, IS having boom in
the East for the Democratic nomination In
1884. Morrison has been coached from the
beginning by Grih Prather, Of st. Louis, who
has travelled from San Francisco to New York
sounding the praises of his candidate. We
recognize In this Eastern boom the fine italian
hand OF Prather, and of all the Western Demo-
cratic politicians he is the shrewdest. Morri-
son is believed TO be thorough going free
trader, but he has had sense enough to keep
quiet and not make q noise about 1t. He has
served six terms in Congress from the Seven
teenth District OF Illinois, the Belleville Dis
trict, and his friends claim he has first
mortgage on the position. Being Democrat
of unquestionable integrity; having the conh-
dence OF his constituency; being man OF no
extensively pronounced Views upon the living
and dangerous issues Of the day, and person
ally popular, he, no doubt, will prove power
full open candidate for the nomination and a
very dangerous dark horse. With the conven-
tion year of and election nearly eighteen
months away, We would say that Morrison Is
one OF the most powerful Democratic candl-
dates now In the ring.
