My DEAR SIR:-I am Just in receipt of
your favor of the 2sth inst. In reply
to your question with regard 20 TIE
preferences of political parks an QsDus'
gon, a to the Presidential nominations
for 1892 / would say that Secretary
Blaine has been for many years A
favorite candidate upon the Pacific
Coast. If he were To be candidafe
for the Presidential nomination In 1892,
have but little doubt that majority
of the Republicans IN the stste ] rep
resent would very strongly favor hls
nomination.
Governor David r. Hill. of New

Democrats IN the state of Oregon. bnl

that at present a majority of the DEM

ton of ex-PresIdcnt Cleveland.
Yours very truly,
