other tour in the South and West It will
very likely be arrested for trying to play
the confidence game.
New York Tribune: When a President Is
trying desperately for reelection, and has
lat offices TO bestow, the man who proves
false to his constituents after an agreeable

1a.eo-able TO q Presidential ticket made W
II DepeyF and Harrison, they being from
States which Will undoubtedly decide the
contest, and Mr. Depew seeming to many
the most available candidate to secure the
vote OF New York. Personally and poliyi-
cally, very little if any, criticism could be-
made upon the ticket, even by its opponents.

fact IS that no man has been or will be
chosen TO represent OHIO IN the National

any one else. Intelligent men generally
have first and second choices, but the ONO
delegation wild not De well placed for a
second choice display; and the second choice
proclivlties Of delegates are not important
The defeat of keifer and Lawrence, If it
wac defeat. was not misfortune for Sber-
man.
Minneapolis Tribune (Repl: From the
standpoint Of New York, Mr.. Depew IS the
most desirable nominee, with Mr.. Allison
second From the standpoint Of the coun-
try at large, especially OF all the close
States, including the Pacific coast, Mr.. Al
lIson Is the most desireable nomiree-and
we should be disposed 10 hesitate before re-
fusIng 70 place Ir. Depew second IN avail
ability, n spite Of his official connection
with = railroad. How would Allison and
Depew strike the Republicans Of New York
and Of the Northwest as q winning ticAeei
Il our opinion il would sweep the country.
