The prevailing opinion is tnat Cleveland
will be the democratic nominee for Presi-
dent in 1892 and that Blaine will be the noni-
inee OF the republicans. Gov. Hill, Of New
York, has a c1nsitsra bic following in the
Democratic party. but not enough u justify
him IN thinking that he has chance for
the nomination, and in the Republican party
Alger and Harrison and Gen Miles are now
aud then spoken of By admiring friends.
Cleveland and Blaine, however. are the
two men toward whom the whole country
Is looking. Cleveland is regarded as the
head and front of the movement to reform
the tariff, and. besides. the people have con-
fidence in him. The record he made as
President meets the hearty approval Of the
masses without regard TO party. And
Blaine is the only republican lie ader who,
after the disastrous defeat Of the republic
cans in November, retained the confidence
Of the rank and file OF his party.
The Chicago Times recently took the
trouble to inquire Of the leading democratic
and republican newspapers of each state as
10 their choice for President, and the result
is quite interesting. The number Of news
papers that answered was 22l. OF this
number 106 expressed a preference for
Cleveland, u for Hill, SO for Blaine and 10
for Harrison. These newspapers doubtless
represent pretty fairly the sentiments Of the
localities in which they are published.
From the figures of the Times it is apparent
that Cleveland is the favorite Of the demo-
Gratis by long way, and that Blaine is the
favorite Of the republicans And that they
viii continue 70 be the favorites
there is every reason to believe.
Blaine. it is thought. could have
had the nomination of his party in 1883.
but he declined it for two reasons, viz, be
did not believe he could be elected, and his
health was so bad that he was afr aid to
enter upon an exciting presidential cam
paign. He is in good health row, and
stands well with his party. 1t is thought
that he would be glad of a chance to try his
luck again.
Cleveland has lost none of his popularity
since he retired from the presidency. In
deed, 1t is not too much to say that he Is
more popular now than at any other period
in his remarkable public career The
passage Of the Mckinley bill has shown the
country some of the evil effects Of the re-
publican doctrine Of protection, and there
Is now a stronger sentiment than ever in
favor Of a reform tariff. The people know
that the champion of that sort Of tariff is
Cleveland. They have almost made UP
their minds that the campaign OF 1892 will
be the campaign of 1884 over again.

4 pensrtment OF Eealtn.

DR.. Henry B. Baker. Of Lansing. Mich,
president OF the American Health Associa-
ti0n, which IS holding its annual meeting in
Charleston. read PAPER before the associa-
ton on Tuesday night, in which he ex-
pressed the op Mon that the government
should establish health department Of the
interior. Such department. he said. was
needed more than quarantine.
Perhaps such department as DR.. Baker
suggests would be productive of a great
deal OF good. IL would investigate typhoid
and mountain fevers and would endeavor to
discover means 10 prevent them. But why
should DIR. Baker think that less attention
should be paid TO quarantine and more 70
the prevention Of diseases from which peo-
pie living in the interior suffer- Is it be-
cause, being a resident Of a section Of
country far from the ssscoRst, the dan
gers which threaten the people Of the in
terror seem TO him to be greater than those
which threaten the sescoast.
There is no disease more dreaded than
cholera. 1t travels rapidly to the interior
after it has obtained q Judgment on the
seacoast. There are good reasons for
thinking that if it had not been for the pro-
lection afforded by quarantine cholera
would have obtained foothold in this
country year ago last summer. and also
victims by the thousands in Asia and
Europe for two or three years.
And yellow fever is not always confined
to the seacoast cities when it is once intro
duced into the country. In 1878 1t spread
far into the interior, and one Ohio town
was almost dec1mated BY it.
Except the Jacksonville epidemic, two
years ago, there has been no yellow fever in
the country for eleven years. New Orleans,
where. prior to 1880. there were many cases
of the disease almost every summer, has
been free from il for eleven years, and
other cities which were sometimes visited
by it have not been afflicted for a longer
period. 1t has been kept out OF the coun-
try by quarantine, and the quarantine at
nearly all the ports is much more strict
now than it was few years ago.
Ii is hardly probable that DR.. Baker will
find there is general agreement with his
views that the protection of the coast cities
against disease is not of so much importance
as the prevention Of diseases in the interior
cities. Unless the ports are well guarded
the interior has no guarantee against those
scourges which sometimes sweep over con-
tinents, carrying terror and death into
almost every household. It is not to be
of course. that DR.. Baker is an
opponent OF Quarantine. but from what he
is reported TO have said at Charleston he
seems to underrate its inheritance.

Senator-Rle Irby.

The stories told in some Of the news
papers about Senetor-elect Irby of South
Carolina would lead one to belive that he
was very bad man befors he reformed
and joined the Baptist church According
to these stories he was mixed up in quits a
number of disgraceful affairs and the
part he played In them was not creditable
one
One Of the stories that has been given q
WIDE circulation is that while q student at
Princeton college he was principal in a duel
n which he was challenging party The
challenged party was Philadelphia youth.
When Irby found that his challenge had
been accepted he wanted to back out, and
consented TO have the duel 20 on only upon
condition that the bullets should be re-
moved from the cartridges without the
knowledge Of his opponent. According to
the story, Irby also took an unfair ad-
vantage Of his opponent on the due!ing
ground.
1t seems, however, that there is another
side TO this story. The name of his oppo-
nent was Mr.. Frismuth, who is now a busi-
ness man in Philadelphia. According to
oAts pFAS1uIns version OF t09 aua1r lrDy
acted an honorable part and showed that
he possessed true courage. The bullets were
Withdrawn, it seems. from the cartridges,
but neither he nor Irby knew of it. Doubt
less what Mr.. Frismuth says is the truth.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Irby was a
participant in several violent scenes in his
more youthful days. but the chances are
that the publication of all the facts con-
nected with each one of them would not
show that he was guilty of anything indi-
eating cowardice, or that would justify any
one in entertaining the opinion that there
Is stain upon his character
While the reelection of Senator Hamu-
ton would have been gratifying to tens
of thousands OF South Caroiinians, and ia
thousands IN other southern states, it is
probable that Mr. Irby will make faithful
and creditable senator, and, having youth
and ambition, he may succeed in doing al
much for his state as Senator Hampton
would have done had he been chosen to sue
coed himself. Give Mr.. Irby chance. i
Is only fair that he should be gwen a tria
before being condemned.

Prospects for a Third Party

Hopes for the ultimate pradominance of
the farmers alliance are based upon a cal
culatlon that is not likely to prove alto
gether pleasing to the republicans. Here is
the way our farmer friends cipher out the
political possibilities Of the future third
party presidential problem:
To the republicans they concede the
electoral woes of the states of Maine. 6: Yer
mont, 4; Pennsylvania, SO; and Ohio, %,
giving a total of Is votes In the electoral
college.
10 the democrats ara conceded the electo-
raj votes Of the states of New York, SO !:
New Jersey, 10; Delaware. 8; Maryland, s.;
Texas, 10. and Kentucky 10, giving an aggre.
gate electoral vots of IS.
For their own so-called peoples parity
they claim as sure the states OF North Caro-
lima, IL; South Carolina, g. Georgia, 13:
Kansas, 10; Nebraska, s; Michigan, Ia; Missis-
sippi, 9; North Dakota, 3; South Dakota, 4,
and Minnesota 8, giving them an sggreg ate
OF 10 in the electoral college, and clear plu
rality of over their highest opponent.
Beside this substantial advantage they
claim as good fighting ground, with the
| chances in their favor, the states Of Ala
bama, IL; Arkansas, s; California. 8: Colo
RADIO. 4; Florida, 4; Hin is, "a Indiana.
Is: Iowa, l3; Louisiana, s; Missouri. II:
Tennessee, IL; Virginia, 12; West Virginia.
+, and Wisconsin II. which would add 1855
more votes to the safe plurality thew have
| already allowed themselves.
This estimate is exclusive of the tan
states that our hopeful calculator
has not mentioned at all On
| paper that appears to be rather a
snug sort OF an arrangement But they will
find that they have reckoned without the
host Of hungry and somewhat wilv poll
ticisns who are not wholly devoid of sagaclty
in contriving counter schemes. Reaizi az
on that triumphant estimate will probably
prove altogether different from plain cipher
ing with the aid of pencil and a viyidly
sanguine Imagination. Their confident ra-
lianos upon all farmers and Members of
labor organizations to vote with them in a
presidential election is likely to prove eyre
| giouslv falaciOus. 1t will result in disap.
polntment. Thousands of alliance farmers
and members of labor organizations have
50 long been identified with the firmly estab-
lished parties that they could not be per
suaded to desert their old standard at so
critical juncrure. They will vote their
lifelong political sentiments, despite all
efforts to divert their allegiance.
Until such organizations can more har-
moniously agree upon what their perma-
nent principles and purposes are, such a
| thing as the possibility of a third Marty Iias
very remotely in the future.
