THE CHOICE OF TEN STATES,
Blaine Leads on the Republican Side
The Old Ticket on the Other.

CINCINNATI, April IL The En-
quirer has carefully prepared articles
on the presidential outlook in New
York, Indiana, Iowa. Illinois, Massa-
chusetts, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Mich
igan, New Hampshire and New Jer-
sey. The conclusions are briefly as
follows: Blaine and Edmunds are the
Leading Republican candidates In New
York, and Arthur's forces are scatter
ing. Cleveland, on The Democratic
side, is a fav0rite in his home, and
Flower is very strong in the country,
though 1t is conceded that Tilden can
have the solid delegation ii lie wants
it. In Indiana William Tecumseh
and John Sherman are strong
attractions, with William Tecumseh a
little ahead. If anything. The Logan
Blaine Is conceded to be far In the lead
OF all. There Is no opposition to Lin
coin for second place. On the Demo-
cratic side Payne has some following,
but Mcdonald and the old ticket are
the favorites. In Iowa the Repub-
leans are well satisfied with Afthnr's
administration, and there Is an
opinion that Blaine's book agents
have rather oyerdone his inter-
ests. Allison Is occasionally men,
toned. The Democrats have
no favorites outside Of the old ticket.
The correspondent from Illinois puts
that state down for Logan first and
last, with cry Of Down with Blaine"
The Democrats are put on record as
favoring the old ticket first. with a
growing feeling for Payne. Massacbu-
sets is credited with favorlng Ed
inunds as against Arthur with no en-
tbusiasm for Blaine. Ben Butler ID
said to be running the Democratic
machine, and the Indications are that
he will be delegate TO the Chicago
convention. In Wisconsin Fairchild
Is mentioned as compliment, but
Blaine holds the cards. Logan has no
following. Payne is prominent on
the olhsr side, but the
old ticket Is In de-
mand. The Minnesota Republicans
are divided, but Blaine IL said TO hold
the Zig end while Logan Ia trying To
rally forlorn hope. The Democrats
want TiIden first, after him MeDon-
