Senator Stanford's mention of
himself as n candidate for the Repub-

with any display of enthusiasm. STAN
ford should not attempt to stand in the
way of Mr.. Blaine. who is a far
stranger man, and in whose hands. In
case of his election, Stanford's in
tcrests would be about as we'll looked
after as If he were President himself.

II John Sherman is killed at
Chicago it will be case of suicide. of
spontaneous freezing to death. He
/. has the lead among all the candidates
, named. BY right Of work for the
party and by right OF inheritance he is
, the coming man. The lack OF xeal dis
, played by his followers is simply re-
, ilection borrowed from their leader. A
: stream can rise no higher than its
, fountain head. John Sherman can no
more awaken enthusiasm among the
people than an iceberg can radiate
: heat. This Is not in him = Boston
