1t Is Coming Out.

It deserves more than the local evidence
that our esteemed contemporary. the Bani-
moro Sun, which until now has been de-
voutly and uninterruptedly performing ite
salanms to the Stuffed Prophet as the next
only and undtsputed Democratic candidate,
asks for ce sation Of the discussion. 1t
wants the Democracy to stop the serious
consideration which during the past months
they have been giving to their next Presi-
dental nominee to the Claimants gradual
but unmistakable elimination.
This persistent agitation Of his avail
ability for 1892, says our contempor-
Dry. Is unnecessary and premature"
There must be year between now
and the time for choosing the gentle
man whom the Democratic party will
hope to elect President, and in the mean,
while much may happen to change the
face OF the political situation" and to
modify the opinions" Of those who see tho
future In another direction than that in
which the Baltimore Sun has been looking.
This represents the first stage in ultimate
cure OF that sactomantmania with which
this at one time organ OF Democracy
has been almost unprecedentedly afflicted
another side than the Mugwump side. aud
that the Democracy incline to take can
didate from their own ranks, is certain in
dication OF recovery from Mugwumpness.
The discussion Of candidates will 20 on. OF
course but the disappointment OF our unsat-
isfled Baltimore contemporary has no possi-
BILE concern with that fact. The stufflng of
its prophet is steadily falling out Nothing

A Statue Proposed.

Aesemblyman STEIN Of the Twentieth
district introduced In the last Legislature a
bill repeating the press-gag section OF the
Execution law. Tho bill passed the Assembly.
but was tied up ia the Senate.
According to Mr.. STEIN, who Is good
authority on the subject. tho principal II not
tho only opposition to the repeal OF this
ridiculous, outrageous, and unconstitutional
measure OF medinvnlism. proceeded from
Mr.. EnBRIDGE T. GERRY OF New York.
Mr.. GERRY was one OF the authors OF the
Electrical Execution law. and he does not
want to sec the work OF his genius modified
or changed in single particular. He re-
CARDS the publication by the newspapers OF
the news about executions as immoral, and
he is convinced that press censorship Is one
Of the numerous public functions intrusted
to his high discretion by the Divine Provi-
dence which brought him into being In the
early part OF the Nineteenth century.
Another bill for the repeal Of the press
gag law will be introduced at the next
session Of the Legislature, and 1t will go
through with rush, and without the slight
est regard to Mr.. ELBRIDGE L. GERRY's
pride of authorship.
But does it not occur to our esteemed
contemporaries that this always busy and
In many respects estimable citizen ought
to have statue. right here In Printing
House square2
Mr.. GERRY should be represented rs stand
ing erect, clad in the robe of Grand Inquis-
itor Of the Fifteenth century. and wearing. as
he prefers, either Commodore's cap or an
old woman's bonnet it makes little difference
which. His left foot should be firmly plant
ed upon copy of the Constitution Of the
State OF New York, and his right hand should
grasp newspaper. crushed to wad and
held up and away from the reach Of the
newspaper reading public. The pedestal
should bear the simple inscription:
"a LAwGlvER UNTO JOURNALISTS"
We do not insist upon this particular pose
or these identical accessories, II anybody
else can suggest more appropriate design
The main thing Is some statue, in Printing
House square. concentrating the author
OF the first and only press-gag law among
the statutes OF the Empire State.
We shall gladly cooperate with our cs-
teemed contemporaries Of the New York
press in any general movement to pay to
Mr.. GERRY q compliment so well deserved.
