ABSOLUTELY PURE
THE PRESS AND THE PRESIDENCY
Drift OF Presidential Discussion by
the Political Journals.

Bridgeport (Conn.) Farmer (Dem.) !:
Democratic successes in New York.
Pennsylvania and Ohio this wear would
place Mcssrs. Flower, Pattison, and
Campbell in the presidential race with
strong backing. With the names al
ready entered il will be good field TO
choose from, with little chance of dis
astrous error.
birmingham (Ala0 Age-Herald
Q)em) If the democrats are bound
to nominate man for the presidency
who has been prominent as a tariff
reform leader, WHAT the matter with
MIR. Morrison, of Illinois? lie had in
troduced a tariff bill into coneres be-
fore Mr.Cleveland had ever Travelled
outside of the state of New York.
Illinois, too, is n state that the demo-
Gratis have fine prospect of CARRYING
in the next presidential election, and
it has twenty-five electoral votes.
Portland Oregonian (Rep. +: There
was no reason to doubt fIarrison's
nomination before this Blaine shout
was set up. There was nor is no doubt
that he would reappoint Blaine secre-
tary of state. II Blaine wanted the
present administration continued he
had only to say so. There is absolutely
nothing to gain by insincerity. If he
doesn't want the presidency his present
attitude is simply puerile.
Nashville Herald (Dem.) Grover
Cleveland for president and Gray. of
Indiana, for vice-president, would
mean victory. No matter what petty
technical variances there may exist be-
tween these two distinguished citizens
and the masses of democracy, they
stand head and shoulders in the popu-
lar affection above any possible rivals.
Birmingham Age-Herald (Dem.) 4
If the battleis to be fought again on the
old ground-that is the solid south,
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut
and Indiana-then it is as essential to
carry Indiana as it is to carry New
York, and we don't believe Indiana
can be carried if the party openly and
ostentatiously repudiates free coinage
and nominates an anti-free-eoinaee
candidate. There was the strongest
sort of silver plank in the Indiana plat
form last year and the victory in that
state was one of the greatest won. The
democratic plurality was nearly 2O,-
900.
Houston Post: There is an apparent
probability that Ohio will furnish one
of the candidates for president in 1892,
and Campbell and Mckinley are in the
fight to determine which shall be that
one almost as much as for the govern
orship of Ohio. If the democracy shall
go to the west for It's candidate, Camp
BELLS success in the present campaign
would easily place him IN front as a
favorite. III Mckinley should win in
the gubernatorial race this fall he is
certain to be entered in the presidential
sweepstakes in 1892, and, with Blaine
out of the way, his prospects for sue
cess would be equal 10 the best. The
successful candidate in Ohio may be-
come president, but the defeated can
didate is doomed to oblivion.
Washington Star: Flowers friends
are saying that he is in the race for
president, and Cleyeland's friends are
saying the same thing while denying
that Hill is. They also aver that.
Cleveland is the man whom New York
will agree upon. 1t seems that a three
sided fight is in progress, notwith-
standing these claims of the two demo-
cratic factions. Between Flower and
Cleveland Hill is at disadvantages,
but it is not yet sure that either will
profit by the fact. Among so many
New York candidates, all biting and
tearing each other, the other democrats
may decide to make no choice at all,
but to look outside of New York for the
nominee, say to Ohio or Maryland.
