The principles that have carried Ohio
will carry New York, Iowa and MAssa-

its stand on free-trade or free-silver, or
on both, and whether it is led by an

IT is not surprising to hear the names
of Blaine and Mckinley already men
toned with high approval from many
quarters as the ideal republican ticket
for 1892. Only two doubts stand in the
way-one, whether Blaine will run; the
other, as to the likelihood of Mr.. Nc
Kinley being willing to take second
place.-Pittsburg Dispatch Qnd.)
LET us see. In 1884, when Cleve-
land was fighting Tammany, western
democrats swore that they loved him
for the enemies he had made. Grover
has now sat down to love-feast with
Tammany, and filed the digestive ap-
paratus of the mugwumps with Dead
Sea fruit. Will the same fellows love
him in 1892 for the friends he has made?
Nay, verily.-Pioneer Press.
THE tariff reform Mr.. Cleveland has
been talking about has not been formu-
lated. The next house will take care
of that, and do it with vengeance.

THE results do not change the out
look as to the presidential nominations.
The drift of the democracy was strongly
toward Cleveland, and it is so still. The
democratic nominee, it is conceded,
must come from New York, and it is
not probable that either Hill or Flower
could prevent the election of Cleve.
