Presidential Po.s,nu,.,..

The staid old independent paper, the
Philadelphia Telegraph, states the probabili-
ties of the Presidential election this fail very
clearly when it says: The Democrats have
made up their minds that they are assured
" going to reflect Mr.. Cleveland They
have no doubt about It They are certain of
New York. and with the thirty-six electoral
votes of that State they contend defeat is
impossible. They are mistaken The Re-
publicans can give them New York and still
eject their candidate. II they can carry
either Indiana and New Jersey or Connect
cut and Indiana, they can defeat Mr..
Cleveland and return 70 power That is not
impossible. Indiana Is not an assured Dem
ocrstic State; it is as doubtful one as there
is in the Union. and it has more than once
since 1884 given indications that it is q
Republican State, or, at least, strongly in
chned to be one. New Jersey has given
like indications; and there is every reason
to believe that, if the contest is energcticsl-
IL pushed in these two States, they can be
carried by the Republicans. II they can be,
the Democrats are welcome to New York.
But in both the vote Of the two parties will
be exceedingly close"
1t is evident, says the Cleveland Leader,
commenting on the above, tina. the Repub-
hcans do not have 10 carry New York in
order 10 win. aud it is equally evident that
the chances of the party carrying Indiana,
New Jersey and Connecticut are very much
better than in New York. The Empire
State Is no longer pivotal and although
there is strong reason 10 believe that it can
be carried by the Republican candidate
yet all is by 10 means lost when it is lost 10
the Republicans. There are three ether
doubtful Democratic States in the North
and the party will carry enough Of them to
elect its candidate.

"If Ben Harrison will just push his little
apple cart to one side and let the Gresham
procession move on he will do his country Q
great service "-St Louis Globe Democrat.
This is not reasonable aud persuasive
thing for great Republican newspaper 10
saw, says the Cincinnati Commercial GG-,sifs,
commenting on the above. The belief OF
Mr.. Harrison's friends that they could carry
Indiana for him is one entitled TO the most
respectful consideration. They sell Us, and
give reasons for it, that they could carry In
diana for Harrison and could Dot carry It
for Gresham 1t would be easy to state the
grounds of this opinion, but we prefer not 20
antagonize any Republican candidate Tor
the Presidency. There has been no Repub-
hcan named for the place who is not better
than any Democrat who could be named
Some weeks ago we said some things in
tended TO convey the business opinion that
Gresham could not harmonic all the Re
publican factions, and even this mild form
of administering to the wants of the public
was understood by sensitive people to be
personal hostility to Gresham, though IL was
not meant TO warrant that Interpretation.
Now we admit that it seems likely no will
be the second man on the first ballot, Sher-
man being the first; but we do not doubt
that three-fourths of the votes from Penn
sylvania, New York and New England
would go for Sherman as against Gresham,
and that they would go for Harrison before
they would take Gresham. Tho time seems
to be approaching for moderation in candid
statement

Tho Democratic Party Not the Friend OF
the Working Glasses, in That Section, at
Least.
Mr.. Barry has just returned from trip
through the South, where he paid particular
attention TO the industrial situation. In
some sections the working-men, who are
mostly negroes, are paid the most meager
wages-so low in fact that the old slave
holders and capitalists prefer the present
situation to the slave-holding regime. The
evolutionary effects of generations of bond
age, the lack of education, race prejudice,
and the want of industry and enterprise on
the part OF the ruling class, have operated
to the repression of what is nominally free
labor in the South The dominant class do
not, says the Cleveland Leader, desire the
elevation of labor in the South to the intel
igent, sef-respecting, well par plane it has
achieved In the North.
The ruling class in the South is composed
exclusively of white Democrats They not
only rule the South. but also the Democrat
ic National party. They constitute large
majority of the Democratic party in Con-
gress and in the Electoral College. The
Democratic party, which pretends to be the
friend of working men, is absolutely con-
trolled in it's National policy by its Southern
SlenSnt, WHICH pppACSocS laoOi
in the South and is straining every effort 70
secure the adoption Of a low-wages tariff
applying TO all parts of the country. Not
content with keeping Southern labor in po-
ntlcal and industrial subjectien they have
aimed destructive blow at the wellpaid
labor OF the North, and have bullied
Northern Democrats into supporting their
scheme They seek to destroy the policy
OF protection which enables Northern
working-men to earn good wages and Sc
cure steady employment They desire to
level down the condition Of Northern labor
until it approximates that of the South. They
unitedly resist every effort to educate and
improve the condition OF Southern labor.
Every working imam who votes the Demo-
cratic ticket should be able to sec by tins
time that the ruling element and tendency
of the Democratic party is opposed to the
best interests Of labor. Every working man
who brings an intelligent ond candid mind
to the investigation and contemplation OF
this subject wiz in the end say with Mr..
Barry that if the condition of the laborinR
people Of the South to-day, which has been
under Democratic rule for so many years,
is anv indication Of what continued Demo
cratic control would bring TO the country

Is Maintained.
There was an incident in the Ingalls,
Voorhees, combat which, without being
specially pertinent to the case, was impor-
tant by reason of its bearing upon the gen.
eral political situation. We refer, says the
st. LOUIS Globe-Deraoeras, to the brief re-
marks Of Senator Eustis, of Louisiana, IN
answer to the charge Of frauduIen. cleo
ton proceedings In his State and in other
parts OF the South. He took it upon him
self to vary the usual Southern method of
treating such charges by boldly declaring
in effect, that they were true and that
fraud and violence were justifiable in re-
sisting the alleged danger Of negro dorni-
nation" This is the feeling of nine-tenths
of the Democrats of the South, no doubt,
but as rule they do not acknowledge it in
such an audacious aud indiscreet manner.
1t was necessary, perhaps, for Senator
Eustis 10 say something when the facts as
TO the recent contest in Louisiana were
thrust into his face; and he chose TO ad-
nit that il was idle to expect such a thing
as an honest election down there under
the circumstances which now exist and
have existed ever since the war. The PEG

serted, to resort to arbitrary and illegal
methods Of controlling elections in order to
protect themselves against the ignorance
and cupidity of their former slaves.
1t is well TO have the truth thus plainly
stated by q man occupying position which
gives conclusive weight to his testimony.
The people OF the North will be enabled
thereby to understand not only that the
Ss n l1o5 raY)f solid hr-3
but that the time has come when Southern
statesmen are ready TO proclaim that such
a wanton perversion of the appliances Of
government IS morally sound and proper.
The pretense of honest elections is to be
discarded, apparently, and the doctrine fat
ly announced that the Democrats of the
South have the right to corrupt tie ballot
box 10 any extent they please for the pur-
pose Of retaining political power in their
hands, and preventing any other party
from gaming foothold in that section.
Senator Eustis is to be thanked for his can
dor. whatever may be SAID of his prudence.
He has done what he could TO simplify one
OF the leading issues of the time-the ques-
ton, to-Wit, of the protection OF the ballot.
His confession goes to the very core of the
matter and presents the case in manner
most conducive to easy and exact discus
sion. The time chosen for the performance
of this service, it is to be added is particu-
larry felicitouS. Only i few weeks hence
the Presidential canvass will be il full
progress, and the voters Of the country will
hove no trouble whatever TO recall his
speech and to derive useful hints and in
ferences from it. In short, though he did
not speak in any such elaborate fashion az
Senator Voorhees,, he did almost as much as
that gentleman in the way OF furnishing
ammunition for Republican orators and
placing his party al disadvantage for the
work that lies before it.

CANDIDATE CHAT.

Bloomington Leader: The man with the
musket Is unquestionably at the head Of the
Republican procession.
Washington Republican: For President of
the United States: The nominee of the Ma
tional Republican convention.
Toledo Blade; It is queer that the Demo-
cratic party arrays Itself, every time an op-
portunity is given, on the side opposed TO
sanitary or moral regulation.
= Albany E1press: In the meanwhile the
Presidential candidate of the Albany En-
press continues 70 be, as from the start, the
nominee Of the Chicago convention.
Louisville Co9smerciai: The trade
structure which the Democrats are 50 a.
boriously building in the House viii be pre-
pared to fall upon them about November 4
St Louis Glo5e- Democrat: It is q significant
fact that when Gresham's name is men
toned in Republican convention in any
part Of the country vigorous applause Is
sure to follow.
Chicago Inter Ocean: The Gresham boom
has no boss. People can play with it as they
please without giving ofense. If Gresham
is nominated, it win be because the people
demand such 4 candidate.
New York World DENY: The prospects
are that the Democrats win need all the
votes they have, and some more, to elect
their candidates this year. Wise manage
ment will neither repel allies nor ALLEVIATE
friends.
Portland Orsqopi1R: It appears to Us that
the best man Of all for the present occasion
is Gresham. OF Indiana. Delegates 20 the
National convention should not pass over
his name because Indiana may be voting for
another man.
Birmingham Age DEM: It looks as
though we shall have 10 accept Cleveland
and Morgan this year. Two bitter pills; but
the people are the doctors, and we as the
patient must be patient and wait and hope
for good results.
Omaha Republican: To ask working
man in this country to vote for free trade
is to ask him TO surrender about onc-half Of
his wages Tor the benefit Of the unfortunate
wOrang-mcn OF Great Britain. That is car
Sying charity too far.
Cleveland Leader: For delegates to the
National Democratic convention from Ohio
we suggest Hon. Frank EuYd, some
gentleman with a bar'l," Allen O. Myers
and Bulldog Fred Steube, as representing
the principles and practices Of Ohio Domoc-
racy.
Cincinnati Conmerc,al Gazette: Senator

mission of D41ota and The election il Lou

the most effective campaign speech of the

which the latter is to receive the support of
the former. But it nav be doubted wheth-
er, in view of existing conditions and COM
plications, Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. Sherman, or any
other candidate, can transfer his votes or
bodily hand over his supporters to another
candidate however DESTROYS he may be to
do so.
The situation for the Republicans is rem
dered more complex by the equivocal atti-
tude of Dir. Blaine. His friends, who are
both active and numerous, are proceeding
as if their fnvorite had not written the Flor
ence letter of withdrawal. They count upon
the fact that their candidate viii be upon
the ocean while the National convention IS
in session, and that no trouble some inouir-
les can reach him concerning his candidacy.
All the plans, indeed, Of his foremost sup
porters Imply a belief that Mr.. Blaine
would, after all, consent to be a candidate
We do not share this conviction; but it
must be confessed that his popularity is
still such that nothing but the complete
breaking down Of his health, and definite
statement that he will not accept if nomi-
mated, VIII positively prevent bis nomina-
ton. But his election would be quite DIFF
ferent matter if the people should getit into
their heads that the Florence letter was not
written in good faith, but was mere expe-
dent to promote a denomination.
With Mr.. Blaine out OF the way, Senator
Sherman would lead the field, and his nom
ination would be entirely possible. Should
the final contest be narrowed down to De-
pew and Sherman. the latter would receive,
doubtless, the vote OF Indiana, California,
Iowa and that OF almost the entire South
and West. A combination on Harrison, as
against Sherman, might prove more formid-
able. This meritorious grandson of a popu-
lar President is an available candidate. be-
cause, being negative statesman and a
rather colorless public man, he could prob
ably unite those opposed to MI. Sherman
from all the elements and in all sections. If
Taylor, Polk, Pierce, Hayes and Cleveland
are examples to prove that less-known men
run better than the most distinguished
party leaders, then Harrison would possess
advantages over Blame or Sherman. But as
Republic with over sixty millions of popu-
lation needs and requires its most expert
enced and broadcast statesmen to direct its
affairs. it would seem desirable that the
Republican leader IN the approaching cam
paign should represent the best and highest
craftsmanship of the party, measuring up
to the highest standards as TO capacity and
character.
