tial candidate WAS piece Of political
strategy, designed to secure the nomins-
tion at Caicsgo by pretended retirement
from the contest. II he wss in earnest,
and in good faith, why not have said in
plain and positive terms that under no
condition could he accept the Candidacy
Of his party, and that personal reasons
compelled that decision. He barely
statet that his name would not be pre-
sented to the convention, and then pro-
ceeded to argue that the pr spects Of the
party were most encouraging, snd there
fore by partisan logic he should De
chosen to erjpy' the coming success,
having been defeated in 1884.
Whenever his health is called In ques-
ton as an obstacle to another nomiDa-
ton, his sons, his newspaper organs and
his other advocates sll rush forward with
zeal proportioned to their interests to
testify on the strength Of letters snd Ger
ufcates OF convenient foctors that he is
in robust condition and ready for any de-
msnds Of the campaign.
No convention meets, not even In Ohio
among "H onest JohI's" employed re-
