Boston Herald: Blafne's friends are likely
70 cast a good many votes in the Republican
convention when it comes together, and
they might go to much worse man than
Mr.. Depew.
Minneapolis Tribune: If the West should
not succeed in nominating Mr.. Allison, Har-
rison, the gallant candidate of Indiana,
would he a strong man on the west side of
the Upper Mississippi valley.
Boston Herald: 1t strikes US as mis-
take to suppose that Senator Ingalls, had
any designs upon the Presidency We
should rather assume it to be a proslama-
ton that he is to be counted out of the list
of Presidential aspirants.
Cleveland Leader and Herald: Ohio is for
Sherman. Every Republican paper IN the
State, with possibly two exceptions, is sup
porting his candidacy, and the Ohio Repub-
lican delegation VIII vote for ham solidly at
Philadelphia Press: Ex-senator Harrison's
supporters in Indiana feel confident that
their favorte VIII have all the district dele
gates from that State with exception of
those from the Twelfth district and possibly
from the Third and Fifth districts.
Philadelphia Press: Ohio's Republican
delegation and majority of those from the
South are generally conceded to Senator
Sherman, and it is believed that he will
enter the convention with stronger fol-
lowing than any other candidate.
Dayton JoGrnai: In all his long and
splendid career, John Sherman was never
SO bad a man in Democratic estimation
now. He will continue to grow worse uII-
til the climax. Meantime, Republicans love
him for the enemies he has made.
ST. Louis Globe Democrat: There is now
little doubt that Mr.. Sherman will be
heavily in the lead at the outstart in t.he
Chicago convention, with all the Il eld
punched together behind him. 1t needs no
ghost como from the tombS TO tell any oil
tician that this is dan nCerous position, and
one requiring the best political manage
ment.

Brief Sketch Of the Life and Services Of
Iowas Favorite Son.


Iowas Favorits Son.
From recent issue of Rar.per's Weekly we
condense the following biographical sketch
of Senator Allison. In view of his long and
useful career both as citizen and states
man, and his prominence as & probable
Presidential candidate, the article Is as
timely as it is interesting:
Mr.. Allison was bern in Ohio in 1879, ard
was tifty-nine years old on the ID of the
present month. He was educated at the
Western Reserve College, and practiced
law in his native State until 1857. Then he
went further West TO Iowa, which is now,
so far as regards ouickness and ease of
communication, nearer the Atlantic sea-
board than Ohio was in 1899 or 1857. He be-
gan his public career when the war broke
out as a member OF the staff Of the Govern
or, and his first task was to aid in the or
ganization of the volunteer regiments that
were destined to serve in the war of the
rebellion He was sent to Congress while
the war was going on, and has been Repre-
sentative and Senator from that time to the
present, except between ISL and 1873,
when he declined an election, so that he has
participated in all the legislation enacted
during and since the great conflict.
There are very few men who have been
so long in public life as Mr.. Allison who are
so scrupulously devoted to their work. Men
like him are Oftener found IN the British

Son. a Gallant Soldier, an Excellent
Business Man and PhilaDthropist.
General Russell A. Alger, of Detroit,
Mich. whose name is now being prominent
~ mentioned, not only IN his State, but on
the Pacific coast and in other parts of the
Union, in connection with the Presidential
nomination on the Republican ticket, was
born at Lafayette, Medina County, O.,
February 81, 1885. His parents were Of New
England stock, and his great-grandfather
was gallant soldier in the war of the rev.
olution. The Algers went TO Ohio IN l3oO
aud stood their full share OF the hardships
incident to pioneer life.
The subject Of this sketch was left father
less and moneyless at a very early age, and
young as he was he sturdily attempted not
only to earn his own living but to help his
mother in her sore distress. One of his
earliest ventures was job of taking care of
twenty cows at the princely salary of $3.50
per week. For eight years he worked for
the farmers in that part of Ohio, one of his
experiences being service for man for
some years who made him labor from sun
to sun, and charged him ten cents per hour
for ell time lost by sickness or any other
reason. Eventually he taught school, his
first experience beng with the school that
was the boasted "toughestn school in
Northern Ohio In March, 1857, he entered
the law-offlce of Wolcott & Upsord, at
Akron, and two years later he was ad-
mitted to the bar. He then went to
Cleveland and entered the law-office of

WHICH SHALL WIN d?
A Contrast of the Policy Voiced by til
Two Great Parties.

A Contrast of the Policy Voiced by the
Two Great Parties.
Already it is clear, says the Cleveland
Leader, that the difference between the
Republican and Democratic platforms on
the tariff question viii not be more pro-
nounced this year than the methods used in
attempting 10 secure the support of the
great army Of men who live by wages
earned by muscular toll. On one side is an
appeal to good viii toward employers, and
on the other to envy and malice The Re
publican party tells the workingnlen Of the
United States that the interests of all
classes are insepsrably and intimately con-
nected, and that the prosperity Of the manu-
facturer means steady work and good wages
for the men in his shop or mill. 1t asserts
the necessity Of protecting the formers
business that the lattor may not lack en-
ployment and support.
The Democratic way of striving 70 win
the votes of the wage-earning classes is
quite the opposite Of this appeal to the kind
", reasonable instincts of its members.
Democracy breaches the gospel Of jealous
hate 1t tells the musclc-wOrkers OF Amer
ica that they must coerce and weaken their
employers. Il reiterates the brazen lie
that the tariff increases profits alone and
IN no way af1ectS wages Dne OF the mean
est forms which it's incendiary demagogv
takes is the argument that capitalists are
the natural enemies Of wage-workers and
that the manufacturers and moneyed mon
of the United States would not favor the
policy Of protection unless IL tended to
make the rich stronger and the poor weaker
and more oppressed.
Which of these methods should be sue
cessfui! BY which of them will the support
Of the American people be wenl Can any
right-thinking man fail to see the danger
ous and evil tendencies of the Bourbon cam
paign plant 1t is pregnant with class con-
fiicts and industrial wars. Nothing could
more directly play into the hands Of the
de1nagogues who are striving 20 fill the
wage-earners of the country with socialis-
tic madness, and nothing could be more
hateful to those who are trying 10 draw the
rich and poor nearer together. We shall
see whether the policy Of malice and envy
will win. For our part, we prefer to trust
in the triumph of reason and good feeling
between all who have q common interest
in the welfare of the Nation

1t is not often that a mistake is made in
taking up both a new quantity and young
quantity. In this country the young men on
trial generally excel their seniors. Who
could have supposed at the commencement
of the civil war, among the extensive gal
axy of educated military men, that a young
person Ike Grant, only thirty-nine years Of
age, would rise 10 the universal command Of
the army, conduct most of the campaigns of
continental war and be twice President Of

II the former would accept the last place Haw-
ley and Lincoln would suit as well, ifnot better.
In Philadelphia both Hawley and Sherman
have many friends, the former probably moro
than the Ohio man.
There is remarkable unaninIity among Ohio
Republicans IN favor OF Senator Sherman and
all concede that he Will have tho solid delega-
ton of the State. All OF the organizations IN
the eighty eight counties assert this fact.
Many say there is no second choice, SO that
while almost 1000 Republicans residing in al
most every township in the State were con-
suited, it is possible 20 give second choice fig

How To Win.

Unless the Republican party makes up its
mind, says the New York L're's, TO show
some of its old-fashioned courage it matters
little who is nominated. II has been fed
quite long enough on the trapped slush
served by Mugwumps, free trade college
dudes and sham Civil-Service reformers.
Let US have a candidate whose Republican
ism is al. wool and yard wide, and who
favors tariff on the wool. To win with
any other manner of man would be victory
not worth contending for.
