WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

The Lafayette Courier draws atteu-
tion to the fact that a cloud burst and
the Democratic Convention visited
Iowa at the same time, and remarks
that misfOrtunes never come singly
The prospect is that the PENNSYLVANIA
/ republicans will gain two congressman
those awarded to the state under the
last census. They will be ected at
large, and as the state is republican the
party will in all probability secure
| them. ommercial-Gazette.
| The movement among Republican
newspapers to nominate Mr. Depew
( for Governor seems to be growing in
/ strength. II the Democrats wish to
nominate Mr.. Depew on their ticket
they should be about it. 1t is thought
that the Alliance people will struggle
along without him.-New York Adver-
tiSer.
Those who take pessimistic view of
the future of republican institutions
ought not to lose heart. There are
thousands of young men and women
graduating at this season who know it
all: who see what it is about the gov
ernment machinery that works badly
and who will fix that very soon. n.-Buf-

The dissatisfaction in Tennessee with
Mr.. Cleveland as a presidential candi-
date is on the increase. He is not only
in bad OdOr among the free-coinage
democrats, but is is thought in the partv
generally that he is not the man to put
in nomination. His name creates no
enthusiasm anywhere, and 1t is doubtful
that, should he be put in nomination he
will carry the state.
Governor David Bennett Hill is said
to be back of the recent movement in
augurated in MinnesOtato send an un-
limited coinage delegation from that
state to the national democratic con-
vention. The governor may not sue
ceed in his presidential aspirations. but
.he has the satisfaction OF knowing
that he is keeping Mr.. Cleveland pret-
y busy repairing his western and south
ern fences.-K. c. Journal.
In referring to the statement in Har-
per Weekly that the hold of Mckinley
upon his party is hard to understand.
the New York Press says:
"Oa the contrary. it is not at all dlfnc1lt TO
Understand. Major Mckinley is a man OF
brains. OF courage. Of high character and tire
less energy. He is devoted patriot and a
sincere friend OF American labor He has the
pluck sagacity and personal magnetism OF a
born leader Of men Under these circumstan-
ceS 1t IS not at all difficult to understand why
the great party he has served with distiri-
guished loyalty should trust and honor him IL
would be strange If it did not. Republicans are
notungrateful- They knowa statesman when
they see him"
But in the Republican party the voice
is almost unanimous. 1t is singular
how the opinions OF the men interested
in public affairs agree. In series of
interviews had with Senators and Rep
resentatives scattered throughout the
country the same story is told. 1t is
short and to the point. II Blain wants
il he can have the nomination. There
is no mistaking the republican senti-
ment. The love for Blaine can not be
denied but with all this love there is
also sincere respect for Harrison and
the moment it is admitted that Blaine
is out then Harrison is the one and
really the only candidate. Thus the
question stands one year before the
What will happen IN the
coming montts-who can tell? There
is unquestionably a great pressure
which will be increased, to get Blaine
to keep silence at least, He will he
told that he is the Moses to lead the
hosts out of the Alliance
and free-trade wilderness. II is matter
Of backbone more than anything else.
If Blaine shall make it appear that un-
der no circumstances can he be a candi-
date Harrison will have practically i
clear path for denomination. IA least
that IS the way itappears now.-Phil-
Enquirer.
