philadelphia Politicians Consider His
Char eeS Good,


Chan ceS Good,
PHILADELPHIA, March 5.--Since James
G. Blaine sent word from Florence that
his name will not be presented for the
consideration OF the Republican National
Convention, and George W. Child's made
his declination final and absolute, the
Philadelphi8 politicians have about come
to the conclusion that the Presidential
nomination Is most likely to go to the
West. Concerning that much, there ID
more talk around the city about Judge
Walter Q. Gresham, OF Indiana, than all
Of the otner candidates, and many believe
that he will be the nominee. Should be
be nominated the Vice President would
naturally come from the East, and Sen.
ato: Joseph R. Hawley, Of Connecticut, Is
the man named.
1t Is urged that this ticket, Gresham
and Hawley, would have better show Of
winning than any that can be selected.
Outside Of the inherent strength Of the
candidates tho claim is made that Ores.
ham will sweep Indiana and Hawley car
~ Connecticut, and with the Blaine StRteE
Of 1884 standing solid, the election Of the
Republican candidates would be assured
without New York or New Jersey.
