THE TICKETS FOR '92.

Mr.. Blaine is evidently sin it." No
one can have observed the events OF the
past four weeks without reaching such
conclusion. Not from what Mr..
| Blaine has said and done, but from
what he has not said or done. The idea
| that Mr.. Blaine is discourteOuS in allow
| ing himself to be candidate while re-
| naming in the cabinet is absurd. No
| president has right to a renOmina-
| ton or right to use the patronage of
| the government to bring about his re-
nomination. Such conduct is un-Ameri-
| can ard has never been put into actual
practice. Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.)
Mr.. Blaine's hold upon the affection
and confidence of the country is
stronger than ever it was before. He
has outlived his old antagonisms, over
come diStrust and lived down the an
cient ISLANDERS. He has buttreSsed his
former reputation as brilliant political
leader with a belief new, but general.
that he has the solid and trustworthy
qualities of safe. sagacious and COM
prehensive statesman. He has added
new Blame to the one the country
knew. The enthusiastic admiration OF
his party has waited only for a sign to
lift up its voice for him.-Pittsburg
Times (Rep.)
The Republican editors of Illinois are
generally in favor of Blaine. They have
to he so in order to avoid being unlike
the most of the Republican editors of
every other state.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat (Rep.l.
Senator German seems to have a pres
idential boom. He is a good man aud
good Democrat, and here is luck to
him and his boom.-Atlanta Constitu-
ton (Dem.).
The chief interest in the Ohio con-
test, outside of that state, lies in the in
fiuence which the result of it will have
upon the presidential contest next year.
IL Gov Campbell should be reelected
he would be prominent candidate for
the presidential nomination of the Dem
Ocratic party, ana a Democratic victory
in Ohio would indicate pretty strongly
the election of a Democrat for presi-
dent. Ohio, therefore, in the elections
this year may properly be called piv-
otal state.-Savannah News Dem.).
1t is clear that if the notion becomes
prevalent that Mr.. Blaine will not de-
cline to accept nomination. the force
of this popular sentiment will make
him the candidate of the convention by
a substantially unanimous call. We
only record what is an obvious fact
of the Republicans in almost every state
are Blaine men. Among the people
there is virtually no other candidate
thought of at this time.-PhiladeIph
Bulletin (Rep.).
1t is not so easy to predict the action
of the next Democratic notional conven-
tion-nor indeed. for that matter, of
the Republican convention. But. as
things seem to look to-day. Mr.. Cleve-
land is more likely than any one else to
get the Democratic nomination. No
other name that has yet been mentioned
could so unite the Democrats and In
dependents and so rally the support of
business men as we'll as the masses.-
Hartford Times 0Dem.)
Isaac p. Gray can never be nomi-
mated to the presidency, and in view
of the contingency which has trans
ferred the vice president to the head of
the government four times i'll the his
tory of the republic. the Democratic
party should not entertain the idea of
giving Gray even the second place OH
the licket.-kansas City Star Oem.).
