The Sleepy Eye Herald, in common
with many of its Democratic brethren,
makes the sad and hasty mistake of iden-

From present indications and the
''signs of the times" the Republican
party is about to choose its presidential
nominee, and a spirit of eagerness and
determination characterizes the efforts

aware of the strenuous exertions of its
opponents, and knows full well that
none but a man of unrivaled ability, of
universal popularity, could be presented
to the people as Republican candi-

choice from number of as able states
men as were ever introduced to the
public, and as a consequence it stands
before difficult problem, upon the So

success. Two factors have thus far
risen to pronounced prominence, and
while the devotion and gratitude of
many in Republican ranks would 90

yet called its own, high esteem for
another would wish the honor conferred
on this second able candidate. 1t will
be Blaine or Gresham, and we doubt
not that either would lead the Republi-
cans on to victory. Western sentiment
is strongly in favor Of the latter, and
should Blaine, in spite of the beseech-
ings of his friends and admirers, per-
emptorily assert that he will not accept
the honor, the party as one man would

the great anti-monopolist, and Gresham

Hon. Edm. Rice, Congressman from
the 4th District, declines renomina-
ton, which would no doubt have been
rendered him. This resignation sorely
disappoints the Democrats, who recog-
nized in the popular Senator one of
their ablest members. Speculation as
to Rice's successor is rife, and indica-
tons are to the effect that A. A. Ames
is looked upon as an eligible candidate.
No doubt the Minneapolis mayor would
stand good show for the nomination,
which would probably satisfy him fully
as well as to be again nominated for
governor.

The Chicago Tribune. leading the
Illinois movement, which would nomi-
nate Judge Gresham for the Presidency,
is in receipt of the following letter from
Hon. N. A. Phillips of Pennsylvania,
who in unequiYocal terms recommends
the honorable Judge as follows:
Although an enthusiastic admirer of
Blaine and citizen of his native State,
yet sincerely doubt the policy of his
denomination. PROFESSIONALLY sincere
in his letter. yet there is no doubt that
he would be pleased to accept the no
mination if forced upon him. But even
then he would be accused by some of
ignobly scheming for an office that is
unworthily sought by any other means
than unselfish service to the country.
At any rate, Blaine's nomination is
no longer probable, and the question is,
Who is the best qualified and most
available eandidatep Sherman, still
waving the bloody shirt; Allison, with
Iowa behind him !; Harrison, with his
local prestige Depew, with follow
ing in New York almost sufficient to
elect him to the United States Senate
or one of many others, each with pc
culiar recommendation or Gresham,
pronounced his anti-monopolist and
great favorite with the people of the
entire country With Gresham for
the Republican standard-bearer what
chance would there be for President
Cleveland's reelection. with his iDtima-
cy with VI. Scott and the Standard Oil
Company represented in his Cabinet?
The cry from the stump would be,
',Shall riches be not only the requisite
for an election to the Senate but the
passport to the Cabinet and the ruling
councils of the Presidency?''
Judge Gresham would not only draw
the industrial vote, but his sterling qua
lities Of intellect and character would
attract conservative businessmen. And
he is soldier. Grand Army and bust
ness-men would all march together in
his campaign procession. In short, he
would command the full strength of the
party and a great deal of outside sup.
port.
The chief barrier to Gresham nomi-
nation is the aspirations of obviously
available candidates. But, if nomi-
mated, he would be heartily Endorsed
by all the leaders and enthusiastically
received by the masses of the party.
Many have their own particular favor
ties, but none are opposed to Gresham.
Besides, with the exception of Blaine,
he is the first choice of more Republi-
cans over the whole country than any
other man.
A big-hearted, brave-spirited, broad
minded man, triply tested, and dis
tinguished in military, judicial, and
executive life, Gresham is just the type
of greatness for the Presidency of the
United States.
Blaine resembles Henry Clay more
than any other man in American lis
tory. Renominate Blaine and Henry
Clay's final disappointment may be re-
peated. Gresham is more like Lincoln
or Garfield. Nominate Gresham and
the repetition of their elections will re-
store the Rep ublican party to power.

favor OF abolishine the exorbitant duty
on some of our necessary importations.
St. Paul's city election, held on the
first of May. proved memorable one
and highly gratifying to the Republic
cans and independent voters of the me-
tropolis. The Democrats of the city,
recognized by all fair minded citizens,
as directly entertaining the socalled
'scity ring. have been placed, as the
democratic Globe says: out IN the cold,
and one may well understand the state
of politics now inaugurated in the saint
ly city by contemplating on the truth
fully spoken words by the same organ !:
For the First Time IN the City's History
Democracy Is DoaUned.
This happy result was mainly brought
about by the combined efforts of the
Republicans and independents Germans,
the latter being thoroughly posted on the
situation by the St. Paul Volkszeitung,
worked manfully for their rights. ST..
Paul may congratulate itself TINT it at
last has shaken off the letters placed
upon it by bossing politicians, and at
the same time, that it has recognized
the ability of such trustw orthy men as
Mayor Smith, Comptroller Roche and
Treasurer Refs, all of whom were re-
elected by large majorities.
Hon. VIM. Bickel received the high
est number of votes for alderman at
large, proving the esteem in which that
gentleman is held by his fellow citizens.
Tarif.-The true derivation of tariff
is not unworthy to be traced. We all
know what it means, namely, fixed
scale OF duties levied upon imports. If
you turn to map of Spain, you will
take note at its southern point, and
running out into the Straits of Gibral-
tar, of a promontory, which from its
position, is admirably adapted for COM
handing the entrance of the Meditter-
anean Sea, and watching the exit and
entrance of ships. A fortress stands
upon this promontory. called now, as
it was also called in the times of the
Moorish domination in Spain, ..Tarifa. :,
1t was the custom of the Moors to watch
from this point all merchant ships going
into, or coming out of the midland. sea;
and, issuing from this stronghold, to
levy duties according to a fixed scale
on all merchandise passing in and out
of the Straits, and this was called from
the place where it was levied, s'tarifa, =
or s'tariff, . and in this way we have ac-

BIG FIRE IN BROOKLYN.
Watson's Stores and Great Quantities
of Wheat DestroYed-Loss 5000, 900.

New YORK, Nov. 13.-There was a destructive
five this morning at Watson's stores, extending
from $50 to 156 Furman street. which are about
midway between the Fulton and Wall street
ferries, Brooklyn. People passing along
Furman street at o'clock say that there was
no fire to be seen, yet seven minutes later the
whole interior of No. $50, in which the ma
chinery of the grain elevator is located appeared
to be in a blaze. Two alarms were sounded,
and in few minutes brought all the fire engines
in the district to the spot. The fire boat Seth
Low also repaired to the scene. The property
is owned by Col. Watson and leased to the Full
ton Grain Milling Co., who had $4,000
bushels of oats, wheat, and corn in
the stores. The company has an
elevator at the end of the pier, which
is about 800 feet from the stores, and the grain
is run through the shute into the third story OF
the building No. $50. After this building
had been Quilted the flames communicated to
Nos. 1872, 154 and 156. and before they were
checked, the interior of the stores were pretty
well burned out. Thousands Of bushels OF
wheat, corn, and oats flowed down from the diff
ferent stores and covered up half the streets.
The loss on grain is about 1900
600, and on machinery about $25,OOO.
The loss on the building is about
800 900, making q total of S550,000.

The Eastern Branch Bridge.

MAJOR HAMS REPORTS SLOW WORK IN OCTOBER.
Major Hams has reported to the chief of
engineers on the work done on the Eastern
Branch and Aqueduct bridges. The formation
of the earthen embankment at the Eastern
Branch, says the report, for the eastern APP
proach to the bridge, was resumed on the 9th
of October. and was continued during the
month, fair progress being made. The con-
struction of the coffer-dam around the founda-
ton Of pier A progressed slowly, because of a
delay i'll the arrival of necessary machinery.
After nearly a months delay, due to the fail
ure of the contractors to procure material. the
construction of the concrete foundation of the
west abutment was begun on October 81. 1t
should have been completed before that date.
Face stone for the west abutment is on the
ground, and will be placed in position as soon
as the foundation is completed. The erection
Of iron-work was commenced on the 18th, after
considerable delay. The trusses were swung
on the 29th. ION the WHOLE" concludes the
report, progress has been remarkably slow,
and shows q lack of business management on
the part Of the contractors" The construc-
ton Of the coffer-dam for pier A, and of the
Foundation for the west abutment, will be con-
tinued drring November. The erection of the

the satchel contained nothing but brown paper
