alliance outside of the capitol, and so
with Attorney General CLAPP. HORACE
AUSTIN without doubt remains an adj
wiser of the governors, and is as I'M
changeable in his fealty as j. K. MOORE
would be. 1t has been one OF the mis-
fortunes of Gov. MCGILL during his adj
miniStration to not overcome many hard
feelings engendered against him IN the
nominating convention. He has seemed
to care but little for patching up truce
in any quarter save the Fifth district.
There, it is true, he has bestowed many
official favors, but it is very doubtful if
they rebound to his benefit.
McGiIrs Even if, as it is said
to be, GILMAN and
Strength. NELSON have made
peace with him, what
paltry satisfaction to go to bed now with
the partiSanS who sought to defeat him
two years ago! The painful thought
that their friendship is won only
through their desire to cripple another,
must now and then Obtrude itself upon
his mind. If the governor were as anna
BILE and sOciable politician as he is
private citizen, his official couch might
be Strewn with roses instead of innu-
merable thorns. While he is not man
widely known to the people, nor mag
netic in his manners, personally he
certainly makes warm friends. Polite
ally, it seems to have been his mis-
fortune to blunder when 'twere folly to
do so, and to be wise when there was
no need.

Is DIR. Ames While the Republi-
can press keeps busy
Losing creating Democratic
candidates for COVER
Ground? nor, not one of the
journals has succeeded
in naming man upon whom their own
party can unity. The Democrats, from
current talk, am sure, have a good
list to select from. DR.. AMEs is, OF
course, a candidate for denomination.
But the face Of politics has changed
considerably since 1886. There are is
sues this year. say many Democrats,
that demand a leader stronger in some
respects than DR.. AMEs is. This con-
stitutes opposition to him from a re-
spectacle portion of the party. Aside
from this, whatever other points of
weakness he may have the doctor knows
best himself. The labor people do not
appear to be so enthusiastic for him as
they were charging that he and Don
NELLY blundered with them before.
The country press has many kind words
to say for him, but individual opinions
from all farmers, wherever solicited, are
not so good. The doctors hustling quail
tiles are by no means forgotten, nor his
contest in 1886, but 1888 is different-so
at least the gossips say. The tariff issue
of 1888 will operate against him, for the
reason that he is without a record-this
/ find to be one objection with some.
The farmers are asking for nominee
who by his public course has identified
himself with tariff reform and can talk.
The labor people are demanding tariff
education, and since the keynote OF the
campaign has been struck by the Dem
ocracy, are looking to its leaders for
guidance. For this and other reasons |
think that DR.. AMEs will have numer-
Gus opponents in the state convention.
