CANDIDATE CHAT.


New York San: Governor Rusk seems
to be stalwart and sandful sort OF man,
and tho Republican nomination might get
into less desirable tenement.
Washington Critic: If Cleveland and
German Is the ticket that wins, will Eugene
Higgins become President of the United
States Civil Service Cormissions
New York World: We adhere to the
opinion expressed on the morning after the
last election in this State-that Mr..
Blaine will not be renominated by the Re
publicans."
Harper's TessIy: The amiability and tact
and cultivated intelligence of Mr.. Depew
have made him party favorite in New
York, where he is by far the most popular
of Republican leaders.
Nance County (Neb) Sentinel: Walter Q.
Gresham is the man whose name will adorn
the coming National Republican ticket. he
is man whose heart is with the people. Let
the boom continue.
Cleveland Leader: Confidence in the wis
dom as well as the ability of q candidate is
the first essential of success, and that ap-
pears to be the strongest element OF Mr..
Sherr1an's candidacy
- Abilene (Aan. LSe5fector: In their futile
attempt to answer Mr.. ingalls,, the Demo
Gratis arc trying to shield the two "de-
famers of Union soldiers, Cleveland and
Vest,' under the blue uniform Of General
Hancock.
The chairman of ninety-three town COM
mittees in Connecticut have reported their
choice for President to the Middletown
Evsning Journal, and of that number fifty
four declared for Blaine, twenty-one for
Hawley, five for Sherman, four for Depew
and nine scattering.
Philadelphia Press: The assurance of Ben
Harrison that Indiana will cast her electoral
vote for the nominee of the National Repub-
ican convention, no matter who he may be,
has the melody Of real music about it. That
is the sort of talk the country wants to hear
from Indiana this year.
Cleveland Leader: There is no ground for
believing that Governor Foraker would be a
party to any movement against Mr.. Sher-
man. Ohio will go to the convention in
good faith for Mr.. Sherman, and Governor
Foraker, as one of the delegates, will, to the
best of his ability, present the views of the
great State from which he has received
such high honors.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: The solid
vote of Ohio has long been held by calculat-
ing Republican politicians of the highest
consequence, and now that it is certain
Ohio is for Sherman, and that the solid del
egation, led by our distinguished Governor,
will be for him, there is an effort to break
the force of the fast by proclamations of the
insincerty of the Governor; and it is a cry
false, little and wicked.
Buffalo News: Mr.. Depew is the first
ohpio nf fha ;,
What effect that will have upon his chances
of nomination-if he should be casdidate
remains to be seen. What effect the en-
thusiastic support of Western New York
Republicans would have upon his chances
of election-should he be nominated-lihe-
wise remains to be seen. But it is very
clear that he has decided boom here
abouts.
Cleveland Lea7er: Colonel William Morri-
son, of horizontal tariff fame, says that in
the matter of the Democratic Vice-Presi-
Dental nomination he is 's in the hands of
his friends" which, being interpreted,
means that he is only too willing to make
the race this fall as the tail of the Demo-
cratic ticket. Good luck to his aspirationsl !
What pair of " bloorlin' chumps'' ticket
composed of Cleveland and Morrison would
be anyway!
Boston Herald: Mr.. Chauncey M. Depew
is likely to have the New York delegation
to the Republican National convention. The
report that he proposes to act as tender
for Mr.. Blaine by transferring it's vote to
him does injustice to both these gentlemen
Mr.. Blaine is not only not a candidate for
President now; he is not to be such candi-
date in the future. So it is a gratuitous
of RI 70 70 H.,
these matters.
St. Louis Gtobe-Democrat: Hon. William
M. Evarts, who is about month over sew
enty years Of age, is the oldest Republican
who has been mentioned in connection with
the Presidential nomination He is, there
fore, two years older than Harrison, the
most aged of the Presidents, was at the
time of his election. This alone, however,
would not be an insuperable objection in
Evarts' case, as he is still apparently as
mentally alert as any man in the Senate.
But his chances for getting the nomination
seem to be exceedingly slight.
Edwin White, in Minneapolis Tribune: {"
was delegate to the Indiana State conven-
tion, which, in 1860 first nominated Benia-
min Harrison for any public ofice-that
of reporter Of the Supreme Court. I
hoFS hAo"A lLl CNCI SluCc, duU ne
is my first and last choice for Presi-
dent Of the United States, for 1 know
him to be one of the ablest men now in pub
lie life, and one of the purest men in both
his political and personal character that this
sountry has produced. He would get there
with both feet in tho Hoosier State if the
Chicago convention should nominate hin. -
The President Pulling Wires.
There is no longer any use in trying to
disguise the fact, says the mugwump Chi
