Under the above captain Henry Water
son In the Louisville Courier-J ournal has
the following in the editorial column,
after some int. oductory political matter:
When 1t comes to q final case Of neces.
sity We may be quite sure that the Lord
will provide" as He always has done.
In the meantime let US run over some
of the possibilities. Here is q good, fat
ticket, round and rosy, like Little Butter
cut and safe at both ends. For president ;,
Grover Cleveland, OF New York; for wee
president, Horace Boies, of Iowa. Or
this one: For president, Grover Cleve.
land of New York; for vice president,
Isaac P. Gray, of Indiana. Or this one:
For president, Grover Cleveland. of NV
York; for vice president, William r. Nor
rison, of Illinois,
All this is with the understanding tina I
New York is solid for Mr.. Cleveland. In
the event that il is not, and that We SD III
have to leave New York out and seek
candidate elsewhere we must come
west. Here the field is rather spec
ulative than positive, though We have
one man who next after Mr.. Cleve
land, embodies all that the demo-
cratic party stands for, and embodies
it with the first order or ability and 3
character of sterling energy. How
would this do For president. John g.
Carlisle, of Kentucky; for vice president,
Roswell p. Flower, of New YorsS or
this: For pres dent, John g. Carlisle. of
Kentucky; for vice president, Leon Alb
bett. of New jersey? or this: John G.
Carlisle, o: Kentucky; for vice president
Thomas NJ. Waller, of Connecticut? or
this: For president, Arthnr p. German.
OF Maryland; for vice president. Isaac P .
Gray, of Indiana? or this: For president.
George Gray, of Delaware; for vice pres
ident, Isaac r. Gray, OF Indiana. (aur-
rah for Gray and GrayD
II is true that Mr.. Carlisle lives at the
south end of the Cincinnati and Coving-
ton bridge; but he is in no sense reoel
brigadier He is well known from one
end of the land 10 the other as a coDser-
vative statesman of transcendsn, sbjlitie ,
calm, enlightened and upright, and sing
ularly Just in all his mental forces Mo-
body can doubt that he would make Il
good president. and give the country d
safe. sound, enlightened administration.
But suppose neither Cleveland nor Car.
Isle is available, how would this do For
president, mes E Campbell. of Ohio;
for vice president, Leon Albeit, of New
Jerseyi Or this For president Horace
Boies, of Iowa; for vice president. Thomas
M. Waller. of Connecticut. Or this: For
president, William R. Morrison, of Hi
Dois; for vice president. Roswell P.
Flower, Of New York. Or this; For
president. Isaac p. Gray. of Indiana; for
vice president. W:llism Z Russell, OF
Massachusetts. If none OF these tickets
will answer as a combination they can be
separated and any one of the vice presi'
Dental suggestions can be advanced to
the first place If we can find nobody in
the west, If Campbell is not reelected in
Ohio nor Boies in Iowa, and if, in conse'
quence. we have to go east there is Patti
son of Pennsylvania. Albeit of New Jer'
sey, and Waller of Connecticut. What
is the matter with any of them? Why
gentle men, the woods are full Of demo-
cratic possibilities. Those we have named
are not even hid in the bushes. We car
see them hourly as they pass to and fro
among the sweet midsummer foliage, but
there are still others away back in the
forest. Provoke US and we will develop
them.
