Slightly Ahead. But tbs Governor Thinks
He Nay Yet WinSy
Nose"
New York Herald

All the doctors OF the Republican schoc
OF practice admit freely that O jio 4tis in
very interesting condition." and since tn
Knight Of the Waite Piume's secoI
acute attack Of epistles, there have bee
symptoms Of internsi complications. In
deed, the situstion is regarded as "deli
este, peculiar, interesting and aggra
waited" "Who shall be heir to Bla!ne?'
Is the question. That there will be 81
heir is evident from the signs, but wha
is worse, the signs indicate multiplicity
Of heirs. Only one son Of OHIO, the doc
tors feel, should be presented ct fht
oaptismal font st Chicago, but she he:
conceived not only one male heir, bu'
two; yes, three; in fact, litter.
In the order of their lustiness they maJ
be enumerated IS Senator John Sherman
Governor J. B. Foraker, Congressman
ter worth. Ii General John Beatty, for
m srly banner-bearer for james G
3 aine, is to be believed, the list is in
complete, for he declares that "eyerp
man in OHIO is an espirant for Presiden-
till honors"
To look at the facts IS they are row
presented it is apparent that the Paris
letter was unexpected, and while it is
satisfactory to the friends, admirers,
hackers and henchmen of Sherman ana
Foraker, it has disturbed the regular
camp followers of Blaine, who, thoue b
rsadv to fall In o line for the Knight OF
the White Plume, are not inclined TO
rally as one mao behind tle banner CT
either Sherman or + yraker In this way
Mckinley CT mes forward, and his hdhe-
rents grow more numerous every day.
The boilers from the Blaine camp turn to
Sherman as their leader.
As the pfetentions Of Mckinley are, 81
the present writing, in the Third plsce ne
may be quickly disposed Of In brief par
sgrsph. His friends and followers IN
pressing him forward are merely doing it
TO advertise him. They have little belief
that the delegates will bring up his name
before the convention even after their ef-
forts to nominate Sherman or Foraker
This chow de do" at home Is done for
the purpose Of making HIM better CAD
didste for the Senate next gear in SeDa-
tor Payne's place. Strange to soy, the
Mckinley movement is growing in favor.
Buterworth expects even less, but be
wants 1t to be known that II any plums
are TO be shr kensirom the polite Il plum
tree he is underneath and ready TO catch
them.
TWO AsPIRAETs OF DIFFERENT DEGREE
/. Is not 10 be doubted for moment
that the t0rty-six delegates will go 10 tie
convention reaty to form in line tor
Sherman. TIE question is, how long will
they remain soid7 And this is the corn
on the Sherman tee that the Foraker men
step on. F0raker's ambition will only be
satisfied when ais name Is pu! up, and
that is when the delegates swing over
from Sherman TO Forsker.
Now, will they?
The Foraker Club, 1000 strong, are 60
Ing on TO Chicago in honor Of Foraker,
and $1,000 photographs OF Foraker have
been cent op-herdly, tbs to be supposed,
In honor OF Sherman.
Sherman has been pulling wires ct the
Washington ED apd Foraker he's been
pulling them here. The handsome Gov
ernor OF OHIO modestly denies This, de-
Caring that he Is not q candidate, and
still CALAMITY admits he would not "fun
sud jump in the river to avoid it." The
fact is, the handsome Governor has |
friends and some Of them think it is
necessary to trot him cut in the big chi |
cago circus on account of tho rebel fag |
episode, where not few think the chief |
x cu.ive Of this sovereign state might |
have said with truth, ~ pray thee write
me down ap ass"
ForskeI's friends think il he rece es
The vote Of the OHIO delegation as unit
|. will be evidence to the country at large |
that the state approves of his conduct.
Furthermore, il his pressure can acquire |
additional weight 1t will make him con-
'picuous and eligible for cabinet ofice,
and, failing In that, make him strong |
candidate for the Senate. THE his friends |
now call the "vindicatioE Of Forskar,"
snd put forward TO all men believing in
he non-surrender Of rebel fsgs to urge |
upon the delegates his name IS their
;hoice.
vAULTING AMBITION.
Foraksr's am olrtOn outweighs his |
worth; yet it is as effective with mis- fol-
overs as a profound knowledge of the |
sffairs Of state, and perhaps twice as dan |
,erous. The delegation, tie Republicans |
say, can not De relied upon. 1t will vote |
Or Sherman, but the grave question is I
low long it will remain solid and how |
ong it will be before the Foraker element |
,erriss it over TO press the name OF For |
I1er.
While the young men Of the party have
sought young chief, the older and wiser
heads endeavor to persuade them to
listen to the name Of John Seer |
nan. 1t is urged that there is not |
one in all the Republican rank |
md file better qualified to be its leader,
now that Blaine has thrown Gown the !
nsrshal's bstor, to Champion its pripci- |
pies in the coming campaign. His nom
nation would not only be wholly eatis !
'actory to the state and gratifying to
state pride, but would be welcomed by
Indiana If Harrison fails, and TO Illinois
I Gresham Is not favored by other states
rais evidence Of the willingness Of neigh
boring states to rally about the mrs.
:holce Of Ohio makes the Republicans Of
ne state doublY sore sgsins. Foraker, who
would not be as agreeable to Indisrs and
illinois, and whose professions are only
i disturbing element.
Pscty managers declare that 1t was Sc
generally believed that Blaine would have
the nomination had 1t been
n de, that they had accepted II es the
,ase of their calculations. The Paris le.-
er removed sll doubts, and settled De-
'ond dispute the question OF the csudi-
lacy. TGis act, however, while making
more bright the prospects Of hopeful as
,irnn.s, destroyed tie homogenity Of the
