The advocates OF Mr.. Edmunds's nomina.
ton have every reason to be satisfied wi h
the situation says the Brooklyn Jni9a. The
Edmunds men will hold the balance of
power at Chicago, and tho Albany yoninal
IS justified in having great faith in their
stability" Moreover, as The .Jouynal cor.
rectly says, "a large number of delegates
will be Independent, and after the first bal
lots will scatter" The interval that clanscs
between this time and the convention is
favorable to the Edmunds movement. for as
the Buffalo ETpress points out, public opin-
ion will more and more strongly incline
toward his nomination. As the FiLress
well puts it: mo one can give good reason
for opposing HIM. Republicans generally
believe be can be elected. The whole coun-
try knows he would be an admirable Presi
dent"
