PRESIDENTIAL SUGGESTIONS.
Henry Waiterson's Speculst;"ns AS to the
Democratic Candidate.

North American Rovcw.l
Taking up the cue of the unexpected.
which 80 often happens-with historic ex-
amples for o werrant--let u make brief
survey Of the political field and humor the
mood both Of speculation and the specu-
lator with regard to coming events, posi-
bic and otherwise.
Suppose Governor Campbell Is reelected
in Ohio. and it is indicated clearly that
under his leadership Ohio can be relied on
in 1892 by the Democrats, is there not good
reason 10 believe that he would enter the
next Democratic National Convention with
an almost irresistible prestige? Suppose
Governor Boles is reelected in Iowa by a
good majority aud Governor Campbell Is
defeated III OHIO. would not that make Gov
crnOr BOlcs a Formidable candldatel Sup
pose the Repu blicaus should carry New
York in the coming fall election, what eject
would this have upon the Cleveland aud
Hill iactions in the Empire State? Sup
pose none Of these things happen, but
that New York comes To the next national
convention either divided in her choice or
opposing outright the nomination of Mr.
Cleveland, would that not force the party
TO quit New York altogether and TO
seek a candidate elsewhere? and in
this event. where? Mr. German and
Mr.. Carlisle live on the wrong. side
of the line and Mr.. Morrison lacks the
united support Of Illinois. General Palmer
