II Diversity of Viecs Expressed by Many
minded Newspapers.
GOOD ADVERTISEMENT.
Phiadelphia Inquirer-Rep.
Whether Mr.. Blaine is candidate for Pres
ident or not ell this talk about him is mag
nificent advertisement for his forthcoming
book.
THE HOME ORGAN SPEAKS.
Cleveland Plain -Deaer-Dem.
We violate no confidence when we say that
Payne does not desire to be President. He
is content to serve his state and country as
Senator.
INCENSE FOR EDMUNDS.
Boston Transcript-Rep.
Edmunds would satisfy the country's ideal
as to ability, freedom from the control OF
small politicians and past career in con-
gress which has no SAVIOR of jobbery in it.
MR.. PAYNE WILL ESCAPE.
Milwaukee Wisconsin-Rep.
Henry B. Payne, the Senator-elect from
Ohio, has announced through his son, Oliver,
that he will not be a Presidential candidate,
and he will soon depart for Europe to get rid
of office-begging opportunities.
WANTS THE OLD TICKETS.
Tunkhannock (Pa.) New Age-Dem.
We can see no good reason why we have
not a good right to make suggestions as to
who shall be our standard bearers in the
coming campaign. This week it affords us
pleasure to be able to present the portraits OF
Hancock and English, who stood the fight in
1880.
A FINE COMBINATION.
Chicago Press-Dem.
For President, Roswell P Flower, of New
York; for rVice-President, Carter H Harrison,
of Iilinois-how does. that ticket strike the
Democratic readers of the Daily Presss
Flower will willingly furnish the s'bar'l'' and
and Harrison-well, Carter will contribute
the eloquence and the brains.
PREJUDICE AGAINST CORNELL.
Albany Times-Dem
The Lockport Journal asks: Chow would
this do?-Logan and Cornell.n 1t would do
bully. We are in favor of it; especially
Cornell. Everybody would rejoice oxer Cor
nell's nomination. 1t would supply long
felt want. There is very widespread desire
to see him get numerically walIoped.
ARTHUR's LITTLE GAME.
Denver News-Dem.
Arthur shows what mealy-mouthed cow
ard he is by announcing semi-officially that
he is playing for second choice in the con-
vention. This is eminently characteristic
of the man. He wants denomination, but
he does not dare to openly seek it because he
knows that he would be weaker than either
Logan, Sherman, Blaine or Edmunds.
sHERMAN's LATEST COMBINATION.
Hartford Telegram-Dem.
A combination has been formed in OhiC
by which John Sherman is to have the dele
cation from that state to the Republican Ma

A NJ. Wright s. Co. say "Although the sta
tstical position of the market is weak and other
influences as u rule are unfavorable for an ad-
vance it is not safe to suppose that prices will
always 90 one way, and, should the bears con
tinue TO sell short, there is chance that the bulls
may turn on them when they least suspect, and
by making Il show of strength induce those who
are short 10 cover with such freedom as to put
up prices on themselves, as is generally the case
when the market is oversold."
Crittenden & Harvey say: "Current prices
are low, and we think the short interest large
and believe it is good time to buy wheat for
turn. Lower prices may come after a while, but
to Is it seems little early to be selling in an
ticipation of full crop yield for 1884, as a ma
jo5ity are now doing. Corn shared in the gener-
al weakness, and early was very weak, owing to
promised liberal receipts. We can see nothing
in the situation to advise short selling on
We regard the market to-day as more largely
oYersold than at any time since November last,
and believe parties carrying majority of the
long interest are buying the way down and
are able to stay. Corn looks a safe purchase and
l. liable any day to take the lead in an upward
movement

We may, however, have some trifiing reactions
from sudden declines but they are not likely to
be more than temporary. Transactions were lib
eral but confined almost wholly to local talent

tional Convention. Ex-Gov Foster, after
falling to form an alliance with Arthur, he to
take second place on the ticket, arranged with
Sherman to support the latter for President
This explains his talk about Arthur's inabili-
ty to carry Ohio. But it seems that Blaine
is not without strength in Ohio. He is
backed by ex-Mayor Rose, of Cleveland, and
others, who blame Foster for the defeat of
the party last fall. The argument used in
Sherman's behalf is that if the candidate is
not taken from that state the Democracy will
sweep things.
A SIGH FOR BLAINE.
Trenton On. J.) Times-Ind
Blaine has unquestionably been the Re-
publican favorite for years. Yet he cannot
secure a nomination. Even many of his
warmest trends deem it unwise to put him
at the head of the ticket They are afraid
that his very popularity might defeat him.
Yet how many men there are in the land
who would like, above all things, to vote for
James G. Blaine for PRESIDENT
RATHER TOO ARIsTocRATIC.
Denver Tribnne-Rep,
Indiana is preparing to enter Ben Harrison
for the Presidential race. He will not do
There is no possibility of any enthusiasm in
Harrison campaign. Harrison has ability
and is strong conservative man in some
respects, but he is too cold to attract people
and not of large enough calibre TO have his
brains make up for his lack of blood. Indeed
it is not at all probable that his nomination
would excite any warmth of feeling even in
Indiana.
THE VOTE OF THE SOUTH.
Pittsburg COMMERCIAL Gazette Rep
If President Arthur declines to press his
canvass in the South, he is likely to win in
stead of lose votes by it. Blaine and Logan
will both have supporters from that section,
as will Sherman, who is now occupying q
very conspicuous position as the head of the
movement to investigate the political out
RACES in Virginia and Mississippi. There
will not be so many instructed delegates as
there were four years ago, and the vote will
be more largely distributed.
FLOWER Is THE MAN.
Troy Press Dem.
We agree with our esteemed contempor-
aries that haye expressed the opinion that
Mr.. Roswell p. Flower. Of New York. is the
right man for the place. His nomination
would give far stronger assurance of success
than that Of any other man to the party.
This state would in that event be sure for the
Democratic party. No matter who might be
the Republican candidate-Arthur, Blaine,
Edmunds, Sherman, anybody-the vote of
this state would be for Mr.. Flower.

many people, some of them gentlemen of splendid
judgment, doubted Garteldsg ability to carry New
York four years ago, but he did it. None of these
gentlemen, we fancy, would contend that Blaine is
less popular now than Garfield was then.-Philadel-
phia Press.
The most competent observers now predict the
nomination of Mr.. Blaine at an early stage in the
deliberations of the convention; and if he is nom.
mated he will be elected. We know it is said the
campaign will be defensive one, and that Mr.
Blaine will suffer somewhat from Republican de-
lection and from Independent hostility. His friends
believe-nay, they know-tha6 for every vote he
loses fromthe causes indicated he will gain two
votes from the Democratic party.-Rochester Dem

The man who will present the name of Samuel j.
Randall to the national democratic convention as a
candidate for the presidency will possess monument
tai cheek. Benjamin Franklin Butler will have a
better standing in that convention than will the
great partiamentarian who deliberately BETRAYED
his party into the hands of the monopolists who
control the republican party. AS between Randall
and Butler, we should hardly know which to choose
but in the name of all that good and true give us
neither !-Boston Post.
