tallzed about any one candidate for the presi-
dency. All the replies were received after Mr..
Blalnes letter OF decllnation had been pu biished
but notwithstanding this fact over 2, 600 of the
1000 preferences for him as the candidate.
Senator Sherman. avowedly in the field
aspirant for the nomination. receives only few
more votes. The other 5000 choices scat
tered. With these overshadowing names
withdrawD the three leading candidates
Lincoln, Depew and Harrison. and they run
nearly neck and neck. The fact, however That
one of them receives one sixth of the prefer
ences shows how far Republican sentiment is as
yet from centerIng upon any one man.
Another fact made clear by this canvass il
the buoyant, confident spirit which Drevades
the party. 1.-THE overwhelming testimony is on
the side of a marked Improvement" in the
party's prospects compared with 1884. There
can be no mistaking such general agreement
of opinion. com ing it does from sach wdaly
separated localities and representing undoubt-
eddy nearly one-half of the Republican voters
in the Northern States Ir confirms and reiu-
forces the conclusion of Mr. Blaine concerning
the political outlook, and makes douhly eignif.
can't the enthusiasm and party loyalty dis
played in the organization of Republican clubs.
1t only needs the nominat alton OF a standard
bearer about whom a united party rally for
this en- husiasln to become Irresistible.
just evident these two facts is the adj
ditional fact tnat the party is solidly In favor
of maintaining the policy of protection to
general as to leave no room for doubt as
to the party's attitude on this ques.
tion Even in Minnesota. where the
free traders have been making lond
boasts, the canvass in sense justihes theI
claims. While there is desire in that Stats
for a revision OF the tariff. there little or no
purpose to attack the policy or protection. In
harmony as TO the partys creed, enthusiastic
aud eager for the campaign to begin, and certain
to be united on the candidate to be chosen at
Chicago the Republican party stands like
great disciplined and compact hest. ready to
march upon the enemies works at the word OK
