from the West yesterday. When asked who
were being spoken of for Presidential candi-
dates. he said: sit is too early to make
states. AS l told them in Colorado, l only
regard three names seriously-Hsrris,n of

candidate. Both Edmunds and Davis were
in Colorado while l was there, and ihsre was
of course q good deal of talk on the sui jsct !;
but all felt that it was too soon TO prophesy.

there, too. aud heard it said that be was
still for Iilden."
