Press Comment.

Illinois State Journal: Since Genera
 Bsdesu has performed hari kari, it only
 remains to write his obituary.
 Atlanta Constitution Dem. ]: The b is | gest political machine in this broad coun
 try is the whisky ring. It appears tC
 have alsrge slice of Democratic party by
 the trail.
 Peoris Transcript: IL is said that Se-
 nator Cullurn Is much stronger in the East, as 8 Presidential candidate, than he was month ago. Stranger things have happened than that be should be the nominee.
 New York World: Our esteemed com temporary the Her Id thinksthat Depew and Harrison would be about the strong es; ticket that the Republicans could no miuste. The Republicans may well fear the Mugwumps when they come bearing suggestions for ticket
 New York Mail and Express: The Pre- sldeut has sank tO the lowest level of gutter politics ID tbIs matter, and if any prOiessed friend of civil service reform votes for him, knowing SevelIon Browns case, he will cover himself with shame, and confess that bis reform pretensions are uOthing else than hypocrisy. Cleveland Leader: Some of our Demo- cratic contemporaries are encouraging MT. Medill, of the Chicago Tribune. in bis foolish course by assuring him that he IS better than his party" Mir. Medill might probably recall She fact that these same 1attering journals usually pass for mighty poor judges Ofquslity.
 Omaha Republican: No man in either party has cleaner record than William IS, Allison. He is absolutely above and beyond criticism. Clearheaded, conser- vstive, and honest, he has won the res pect and admiration even of those who do not agree with him ID all things. A protectIonist, be is at the same time tarlH retormer, standing squarely upon the National Republican platform.
 Buffalo Express: It will be absolutely impossible to keep Sheud8n's name out ot the convention. even should there bs a disposition todO so. Worthy though these fsvori'es are, they represent the instrucied-delegaiion plan us against the free and open convention. where integri- ty and intelligence are left to do their work Little Phil stands for this. He is tbe candidate of the whole people m tnged by locality.
 Hartford Coursnt: It IS doing Mir. nIaine wrong to go on using hIs name ir Wsy which necessarily implies one o' TWO thlDgs-eltber that he was insincere ID writing the Florence It CT, or that ne IS SO nckle-mlnded that the letter doesn't count, and that be can be easil, n hraa | be now says he has decIded, after full 2 e- loerstion and tor good and sufficient reasons, not to do.
 Brooklyn Eagle (Dem.): The Eagl. belIeves that Mir. Blame was since when be declined. and that be is 10 VI, party to the plot here attributed to him and to his friends. At the same time We can not fail to note that, even though l.. has declined, there are not only nor, Republicans in favor of bin than ap, other candidate, but also that there ,s DO disposition on those in control of fin Blaine machine to rehnquish their grip.
 Boston Traveller: Whatever may he the feeling of Indiana politician, there is no doubt that outside that State Judge | Gresham has Q very strong followipg while Hsrrison's name IS hardly mention ed. Indeed the nomination of the latter ls scarcely among the possibilities: bu, there are grOwing indications that if In diana will present the name ot Judge Gresham, such presentation will be over ratified by the Republican Convention. Indiana has oer- isinly an opportunity to honor herself. and promote the success of the Repubh- can party.
