Republicans chance.

as secession This uttcr2nce is found in
the annual message Of Governor Rusk, of
Wisconsin, and is applied to anarchy 1t
would be almost as complete and appropri-
ate characterization for the Democratic
party.
New YORK Press: 1t has been discovered
that Mr.. Cleveland got the phrase, "a pub
lie office is public trust" from England.
1t is said ii was first used in an English
court decision in 1920. Quite likely. Mr..
Cleveland got his revenue policy from En-

quarter. Altogether, it is an Adminstra-

SOLID FOR ALLISON.
Iowa Unanimous for Her Favorite Son

Iowa Unanimous for Her Favorite Son.
Iowa, the Vermont of Western Republic
aniSm-" the star that never sets has de-
clared with unanimous voice and without
reserve or qualification OF any kind for Sen
! ator Allison as the Republican candidate for
President. Iowa was strong Blaine State,
but with the man from Maine out Of the
field on his own choice the Iowa Republic
ans present candidate of their own and
one every way worthy the hearty, enthu-
siastic, cordial Endorsement he has received.
Twenty-Five years of faithful, unseifsh.
statesmanlike work in the promotion of Re-
publican principles, says the Chicago Tribune,
have placed Sen ator Allison in the foremost
rank OF Republican leaders, and had he
hailed from doubtful State, or one less re-
liably Republican than Iowa, he would have
been presented long ago as candidate for
Presidential nomination. As il stands now
there are no weighty arguments or reasons
against his nomination. but many in favor
OF it, and he can be opposed only by the in
quiry or suggestion that whether for local
or personal reasons, some other candidate
might prove stronger than he in some Of
the doubtful States.
For a statesman long tried and schooled in
public life Senator Allison has record re-
markably free not only from blot but even
from error. Earnest and answering in
the advocacy of Republican doctrines, he
has been always prudent and sagacious;
and, while conspicuous champion of West
ern interests, he has never provoked the
ill-will or suspicion of any section or been
identified with personal or fractional quar-
rels inside the Republican party. His nom-
nation would not open an old wound or re-
vive grudge Beyond question he is one
of the ablest financiers in the country, and
perhaps no man in public life exccls HIM In
detailed knowledge of the entire machinery
of the Federal Government He brings TO
public duties not only clear purposes and
firm convictions but the tact and sagacity
equally needed to insure success. He knows
the representative men of the Republican
party thoroughly, and there is no gainsay-
ing the fact that he would make splendid
President. The Iowa Republicans have
good reason to be proud Of their candidate.
If Senator Allison were only personally
identified with one of the doubtful States,
or had peculiar local strength in New York
or Indiana. he would be just the man to head
the Republican ticket this year.

GROWERS RUNNING MATE.

! Governor Gray, of Indiana, for the Vice.
T'rcsidency-Thc President Said to Have
Expressed His Preference.
/ A Washington dispatch to the Indianapolis
Jour2a! says: "Tne announcement made at
the White House recently, through Private
Secretary Lamont, that President Cleveland
was not Interfering with or making sugges-
tons about the Vice-Presidential candidate,
and that he has expressed 10 preference in
that direction, is untrue. II may be that
Colonel Lamont is ignorant OF what is gong
on, but | have indisputable evidence that
President Cleveland has stated during the
last month to at least two Democratic men,
bers of Congress that he preferred Gov
ernor Gray, of Indiana, and that he hoped
tie Democrats of that State would give
Gray solid support at the St. Louis con-
vention.
There can be no doubt about this; have
the information from two sources verbally,
and q third source in the Presidents own
handwriting. II Governor Gray be nomi-
mated for second place on the ticket with
President Cleveland it will raise a large
disturbance in the Democratic ranks in In
diana unless something be done to pacify
the feeling entertained by old-time Dem
ocrats against Gray. This condition of
affairs the President is familiar with, and
he has been informed that he must do some
thing to quiet ex-senator Mcdonald, Sen
ator Voorhees,. Dick Bright and other prom
inent old-lipe Democrats now in this city,
or they VIII openly knife Gray and the Ad
ministration during the campaign.
understand the price of their reconcilia-
ton is the appointment Of Mcdonald to
the vacancy on the Supreme bench caused
by the death of Chief-Justice Waite. That
the friends Of ex-senator Mcdonald do not
ask that he be appointed to the Chief JUS
ticeship, but that he be given place On the
bench in one capacity or the other The
President, | am further informed, does not
take to the suggestion Just like a duck to
the water, and if he be persuaded to make
the appointment he viii have 10 undergo a
wide change of mind He regards eX-Sen-
ator Mcdonald personally highly, but he
considers him too old for the position, for
getting that Mcdonald is more vigorous
than Lamar, who was but recently taken
from the Interior Department where he
was too ancient for active duty, and placed
on the bench.

War on Governor Hill.

There is no longer any reason TO doubt
that the Administration has started out for
Mr.. Hills scalp Mr.. Hill is candidate for
two places-first, the Presidency; second,
the Governorship. SO far as the local
Democracy is concerned there would be no
opposition to him in the State convention.
In fact, if the Democrats in this State could
be impartially polled on their Presidential
choice, Governor Hill would unquestionably
lead Mr. Cleveland.
This, however, is not the programme
mapped out by the Administration. says the
Philadelphia Press. Governor Hill can have
neither of the two nominations he covets.
He is to be side-tracked completely as a
political factor. II the Cleveland men have
their way, the means to be employed to that
end are such that even the political Phari-
sees who have been booming the President
will have no reason to feel proud Of them.
The first Of the fire from the rear in store
for Mr.. Hill is the story now current about
his luxurious and expensive taste in fitting
up the Executive Mansion. This, it is now
learned, was made public through the Dem
ocratic channels. Another volley from the
rear said 10 be in store for the Governor is
a story about the insurance lobby and its
work al Albany. This viii De used when
the proper moment comes.

GRESHAM,

now included in every list of the Republicans
VINO are likely to be named as candidates
Tor the Presidency before the National con-
ventlon at Chicago on June 10 is one of
the most interesting members of the politi-
cal party of which he has always been a
jealous adherent. He was born on March Il,
1888, near Corydon, Harrison County,
ana. bis grandfather, George Gresham,
Vlrglnlan of English stock, was a pioneer
settler in Indiana in 1902 an honest, cour-
ageous, industrious and pious farmer
w liam Gresham, his eldest son, was man
OF striking personal beauty, tall, soldier
Ike, affable and naturally popular. To his
fathers occupation Of farmer he added that

sarah Davis, who had come to Indiana
from Virginia, where she was born of Scotch
Irish parents. To William and Sarah was
oorn, eight years later, the subject of tins
sketch His birthplace was a very humble
cottage story and half high, with
Kitchen extension. In this same cottage
Mrs. Gresham still lives.
In 1854, after three years of incessant
work and study, Walter Gresham was ad
mitted to the bar, and began, with Thomas
c. Slaughter, the practice of his profession.
Alying himself with the newly-formed
Republican party, he soon developed as
much power as direct, logical and con-
vlncing political orator as he had shown in
his calm, sound and reasonable arguments
IN the courts. In 1858 he married Miss
Matilda McGr&in. The young lawyer was
then one Of the foremost men of his party

HOPE FOR INDIANA.

The Democracy in That State Have VI ade
BIunders Enough to Give IL to the Re-
publicans.
The Republican party has good deal to
hope for in Indiana this fall, because the
corrupt and inherently dishonest Democ-
racy have been pkving the way to their
/ own defeat The coat of whitewash with
! which they attempted to hide the shame
/ less abuses of the insane in the State insti-
! tuition; the disgraceful and inhuman man.
/ agement of the Southern prison, and the
/ outrageous permission given to the warden
| toresgn after his beastly conduct had been
| thoroughly exposed; to which was finally
added the tally sheet forgeries-a most
| startling and far-reaching crime--is Sec-
ord that no organization, except it had the
brazen audacity Of old Beelzebub himself,
would dare to come before the people of the
/ State for Endorsement upon.
The Indiana tally sheet fOrgeries are to
great degree parallel to the Ohio case.
Doodle and personal ambition lie at the bot
tom of both, and both are defended by the
party in whish they originated. The In
diana case has, however, proved step
farther than the Ohio parallel in that its
perpetrators have been convicted and SEN
fenced though the court and lawyers en-
gagged in the prosecution were most shame
fully and viciously ibeled and maligned by
the opposing partisan press.
There has also, been feeble attempt TO
enforce Civil-Service reform in Indiana
just feeble enough to demonstrate what
driveling farce it is under Democratic man
agement There are few mugwumps in
Indiana-as many, possibly, as in this State
and they are very much displeased with
Mr. Cleveland, so mucn so that they have
withdrawn from him their support
Taking all these facts into consideration
we reiterate that there is cause for much
hope from Indiana this fall. The citizens OF
that State are as weary as the citizens Of
Ohio were OF Democratic 'budge, Doodle
and buncombe," and will emulate the good
example set by the Buckeye State. in root
ing out the entire unholy gang, bag and
baggage, from the public offices where they
lie en.renched. Indiana, we have the best
OF reasons to think, will join the Republican

ABOUT DELEGATES.
They Should DO Sent to the Convention
Without Instructions.

without instructions.
The duty of Republicans everywhere is to
send delegates to the National convention
unembarassed by instructions requiring
them to support any particular candidate
from first to last, regardless of the circum-
stances and conditions that may arise in
the course of the proceedings. 1t was this
process Of pledging men to fixed and OBJ
stinate choice that served more than any
thing else to provoke the antagonism which
proved fatal to Mr.. Blaine; and the man
who attempts to repeat that method of
forcing a nomination viii inevitably en-
counter a like misfortune.
The Republican sentiment Of the country,
saws the St Lonis Globe Democrat, is decid-
edly aversed to the idea that any one man
is essential to success, and that defeat can
be avoided only by accepting candidate
whose friends obstinately refuse to aban-
don him on any account. The time has gone
bv for saving that this or that man is in
titled to the nomination as a personal right
and BY reason OF past services. No man has
any such claim as that, and the use of such
an argument can only tend to make discord
where harmony is the thing to be desired
over all others. In short, this is not a good
year for bulldozing; and the candidate who
shall undertake to gain the prize in that
manner will certainly come to grief.
There can be no objection, of course, to
earnest and determined work in behalf of
local favOrites, according to legitimate and
considcrate methods. The friends of each
candidate have perfect right to stand by
their man IN a reSolute and vigorous fashion
so long as his nomination shall seem posi-
bic or desirable; but they have no right to
prolong the contest when 1t becomes evil
dent that they are il a hopeless minority,
and that the convention can not be per-
suaded 10 adopt their preference. When
such a time comes, il should be the priv
iege Of the delegates to transfer their votes
to some other man as shall seem to them TO
be best for the general interests of the
party. The men who compose Republican
National conventions are men of sound and
practical judgment, as rule and when left
to themselves are not likely to make any
grave mistake; IL is only when they are tied
down by absolute instructions and denied
the right Of independent action under any
circumstances that they are apt to blunder
and stumble.
There is not man in the known list of
candidates who towers above his competi-
tors in any pronounced and commanding
fashion; and there is not man in the list
whose reputation is so provincial or indif-
fcrent as to forbid serious discussion Of his
chances. They are all capable and worthy
men; any of them can be readily and heart
ily supported; and the only question in the
case is that of their relative ability to Sc
cure votes and promote party welfare and
success. To that vital question all other
considerations should be subordinated By
general aud cheerful consent; and it is to
be hoped that the delegates will be chosen
with special reference TO such an adjust

Friends should Never Quarrel.

1t has long been a favorite political OBJ
servation Of ours, says the CINCINNATI Com
,nerciaI- Gdzette that the friends Of Mr.. Blaine
and Mr. Sherman in Ohio should not quarrel
that such differences as there were be-
tween them might be held amicably-that
the relations between Blaine and Sherman
were in the nature of good example TO
their friends.
In 1854 Mr. Blaine did not want 70 be a
candidate for the Presidency, saying that
in his Judgment he could not carry the State
of New York and therefore could not be
elected. This was not after the election,
but before the Chicago convention assem-
bled. And Mr.. Blaine said he could name
a ticket that would be surely elected If
nominated. and named William T. Sherman
and Robert T. Lincoln. Senator Sherman
was not then an anxious candidate, and said
that after the conventions OF $50 and 1Ss4
had shown such strength for Blaine, he was
not disposed 20 stand II MS way.
And this year he has declared the sans
freely conceding that the nomination was
waiting for Mr. Blaine if he cared 70 take ii,
and stating, III a form that was authorIta-
tive, that If Blaine avowed his candidacy
he would not contest the nomination, but
retire and give his support TO Blaine. The
friends OF Blaine in Ohio should turn to
Sherman with cordiality, and are doing SO,
though II takes some tine for them 20 re-
cover their disturbed eQEalimIty.

PLANS WELL LAID.

Democracy's Preparations for the Cam
paign Some Deep Laid Schemes to
Win.
In pointed and well-written editorial the
Washington Republican depicts the Demo
cratic arrangements for the coming cam
p2ign as follows:
The great railways of the country are
under the control of five men appointed by
the President of the United States
The fishery treaty was made with a view
to stimulate the greed and induce the fnan-
cial sympathy of the people Of Great
Britain and the Dominion of Canada.
The treaty with China is timely made to
strengthen the nominee of the party on the
Pacific coast.
The appointment of Lamar to the Supreme
bench is intended to consolidate the South,
secretly revive Southern ambitions, and uni
fy the Southern States.
The enormous appropriations for new
navy, granted by the last Congress, have
been automatically held in reserve to be ex-
pended during this Presidential year.
The vetoes of large appropriations for
pensions and for National improvements on
the one hand, and the refusal to call an ex-
ira session Of Congress to reduce taxation
on the other, producing gorge of public
funds In the Treasury, creates IN opportuni-
ty to raise an enormous campaign fund for
favors past and favorS to come.
AS the descendant of pilgrim and the
son of a Presbyterian preacher, Grover
Cleveland has the audacity and the tact TO
excite the sympathy of Americanism on the
one side and seek the friendship of Rome on
the other.
At the North and at the Nations capital
the colored man is recognized as citizen
and worthy of the emoluments of Office,
looking to the colored vote in the close
Northern States. For the South sugar pays
an import duty of s55, 100000 to increase the
profits of the planter, whose industry is
based upon the servile labor of the colored
man without suffrage.
The Republican might also have added that
the Democratic party will not be embar-
raised by any sham pretensions to reform,
and that the various departments have been
transformed from serviceable and system
ATTIC bureaus to grossly mismanaged and in
accurate Offices, serving as a sort of Ma
tional rendezvous for all the petty ward
heelers and gutter bosses of the lowest type
of fL,,sl1,d TedH<r
