ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE REcoRD-UNIoS.l
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1888-04-11


The Chicago Tribune is Republican pa
per; In fact, it Is accorded one of the leading
sheets in the @. o. p, but here Is the way ft
goes for Sherman It says:
Later revelations concerning Honest
John" Sherman's sudden change on the
Chinese question place that gentleman in
an equivocal position, and one which calls
Tor loud and clear explanation. 1t will he
remembered that he introduced a resolp-
ton N the Senate asking the President IN
negotiate new treaty containing severe
restrictions OF Chinese emigration. II now
turns out that the Senator, as Chairman of
the Committee on Foycign Relations. was
IN position to know that the Administra-
ton was and had been for long time con.
sidering such treaty, and, more than that.
only few hours before he introduced his
Chinese resolution he had conversation
with Secretary Bayard in which Sherman
was informed that such a treaty had been
Tor some time in process OF negotiation.
Immediately upon receiving this intelli-
gence he rushed to the Senate Chamber and
asked for resolution desiring the President
10 negotiate treaty with China upon the
basis Of keeping out all Chinese laborers.
The message OF tho President since sent TO
the Senate not only supcrscdes any necessity
Tor the Sherman resolution, but puts tho
mover IN sorry plight It was absurd
enough when the Scuator madc his change
apparently on his own motion. His attempt
to steal the ADMINISTRATOR thunder and
convert 1t into personal boom on the Pa
cific slope makes the situation still worse.u

NOT ENCOURAGING.
The Recent Canvass to Obtain Repub-
lean Preference Not Worry Encouraging
TO the Party.

Tho Recent Canvass to Obtain Repub-
lean Preference Not Very Encouraging
TO the Party.
The elaborate canvass which has been
made by the Philadelphia Times, showing
the Republican Presidential preferences in
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Minnesota, is not especially encouraging for
the party. 1t shows, summed up briefly,
says the New York Post, that the real first
choice of the majority of the party is Blaine,
and that if he had hot written his Florence
message, he would have been renominated
by acclamation. Even after that message,
the canvass showed out of 1000 replies
which were received, fully one-third are in
favor of nominating :. Blaine any way"
Next To Blaine stands Sherman, but there
Is perceptible lack of warmth in the sup
port professed for HIM. Even In Ohio it is
evident that Governor Foraker is more
suited to the party taste. Chauncey De-
pew has considerable strength in the East
ern States, but very little elsewhere. In
Indiana Harrison is much stronger than
Gresham. and in Pennsylvania Lincoln is
ahead, though the party there Is obviously
yearning for one more trial of Blaine.
In fact, the real outcome of the canvass is.
that at least one-third of the party is de-
termined upon the great policy of g.aut
fs".e - 'e"eN. fuiS tuiru party may be
called the knifers," for, should any other
candidate than Blaine be nominated thew
would SEQ to it that be was never elected.
The 7rioHns seizcs with great delight unon
this demonstration of the Blaine contingencies
strength, calls it the "most striking fact
Orolt.-... l-. cr, or. hv the Canvass. and remarks
complacently that "it is noteworthy that
there is no sign of crystalizatiop upon any
of the candidates" or course there Is not,
for the moment that there has been any
sign OF such crystalization, the Blaine
ant-nullus gang has put o knife" into it,
There really seems 90 be no escape for the
party. II must march peacefully and unre.
sistingly to its fato and submit to Blaineis
denomination. Nothing but tho overwhelm.
ing defeat which will inevitable follow can
cure it Of its trouble, and it is almost GER
tain the patient will die under the operation.

Hanhazar1 /" StraHs. >,

Without desiring to dcpreciate the efforts
OF the journals that are engaged in secur-
ing and publishing the preferences of voters
for Presidential candidates, says the New
York World, we are constrained to remark
that these haphazard straws are not of great
value.
1t is the politicians who make nomlna-
tions in this country. The conservative
and observant Republicans may prefer
one man, but they are not always, nor even
commonly, the men who select the delegates.
The steady-going Democrats may have
their ideas as to who would make the best
President, while the leaders of their party
are shrewdly calculating as to who would
be the strongest candidate.
When it comes to choosing delegates the
politicians who are personally and actively
interested in the election usually determine
the matter. They may prefer man and
yet not think it prudent TO nominate him.
They may dislike a man and yet think It
best TO nominate him, 1t all depends upon
whether thcy have the daring of their de-
sires on one side or the prudence of their
fears on the other.
We do not think that any aggregation of
individual preferences at this time indicates
the probable action of either political con-
vention, any more than a handful of straws
tossed about by a little whirlwind indicates
the direction of the great air currents. -

The wiser Republican newspapers are be-

ESeni"g Post, against the policy of more op-

Solid for RIain.

The Philadelphia Press, a steadfast Blaine
organ, learns from New York that the
delegation from that State will go TO Chi
cago solid for Blaine. Whether this Is true
or not, Blaine is stronger with his party
now than before he wrote his Florence let
ter. The multiplicity of third and fourth
rate candidates in the field and the fac
tional fights between them have gone far to
confirm the ruling element Of the party in
the belief that it can unite on no one but
Blaine. Should there be deadlock at Chi
cago he il more likely than any one else to
be "thc dark horse" and If his partisans
do not intend To create a deadlock between
the other candidates, the work they are do
ing now is altogether unintelligISle.

The selection Of Mr. William Stcinway as
Democratic National committeeman for
New York, says the NtSsosri Rep1Elieaa,
viii strengthen the party materially in that
State. As a manufacturer he is known all
over the United States and has the conf
dence of the business public everywhere.
The German vote of New York City is
largely Democratic already and his infiu-
ence will go far towards solidify1ng it. He
does not belong TO faction. and his seIec-
ton was brought about by the exposure
and failure Of the plot Of few disgruntled
Politicians to beg, borrow and buy proxies
enough to elect National committeeman
hostile to the Administrator.
