Ex-Gov. shepherd on the Campaign.
Chicago Special to the N Y Tribune, April go.
Ex-Gov. Shepherd, Of Washington, on his way to
his Mexican mines, said to-day, speaking OF the
political outlook: II think the general impression
Is where have been, especially among the older
men Of the party, that the fight will be between
Blaine and Cleveland. Gresham is highly spoken
of by many good men. but Idont think there ever
was time since the last campaign when there
were any men to head the tickets but Blaine and
Cleveland The battle OF 1884 is to be fought over
again. don't think Blaine wants TO run, but the
extgenc1es OF the case will make It q necessity.
The candidates before the republican convention
will be Gresham, sherman, Harrison, Depew, and
probably Q dozen Others"
