wATrERsoN's MANY TICKETS.
He suggests Democratic Nominations, With
Leaning Toward Carlisle.

| Leaning Toward Carlisle.
| dispatch from Louisville, dated yesterday,
says; Under the caption of Next Year" Henry
Watterson publishes in the Courieryournal this
morning an editorial which is construed by
many to favor the nomination of Senator Car
Isle az the democratic candidate for the pres
idency. After some Introductory matter about
the uncertainties Of politics, Mr.. watterson
says; when 1t comes to final case of neces-
sity We may be quite sure that the Lord will
provide as he always has done. In the mean
time let us run over some of the possibilities.
Here 10 u good fat ticket, round and rosy, like
Little Buttercup, and safe at both ends: For
President, Grover Cleveland Of New York; for
vice 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 New York; for Vice Presi-
| dent, William X. Morrison of Illinois,
"All this 10 with the understanding that New
York is solid for Mr.. Cleveland In the event
that 1t is not and that we shall have to leave
New York out and seek candidate else where
we must come west. Here the field is rather
| speculative than positive though we have one
man who, next after Mr. Cleveland, embodies
all that the demct ratio party stands for and
embodies it with the first cider Of ability and
a character of stsrlirg energy How would
this do For President lehu @. Carlisle Of
Kentucky; for Vice Pr esIient, RcsvenP. Flower
of New York? Or this. For Pre- sldent, John G.
Carlisle OF Kentucky i,r Vice Presidart Leon
Albeit Of New Jerseys" @, this: Fol President,
John g. Carlisle of kensd'k; Tor Nice President,
Thomas NJ. Waller # CtBnaetjcut? Or this:
For President Arthur z Jcrmsn Of Mary land;
for Vice President, Isaac =. Gray Of Indiana?
Or this For President 6scrge Gray of Della
ware; fol Vice President. .saac p. Gray Of In
diana? lHurrah for GRAY and Graz
1T Is true that MIR. Carlisle lives at the south
end OF the Cincinnati and Covngtcn bridge
but he is in no sense rebel brgader. He is
well known from one end of the land to the
other as a conservative statesman of transcen-
dant abilities, calm, enlightened and upright
and singularly Just in all his mental forces
Nobody can doubt that he would make good
President and give the country safe, sound,
enlightened administration.
But suppose neither Cleveland nor Carlisle
is available, how would this do: For President,
James +. Campbell of Ohio; for Vice President,
Leon Albeit of New Jersey Or this; For
President, Horace BOies of Iowa; for Vice
President, Thomas NJ. Waller Of Connecticut.
Or this: For President, William II. Morrison of
Illinois: for Vice President, Roswell Z. Flower
of New York. Or this For President, Isaac p.
Gray of Indiana; for Vice President, William T..
Russell of Massachusetts. II none of these
tickets Will answer as combination they can
be separated and any one of the vice preslden-
tial suggestions can be advanced to the first
place. If we can find nobody in the west, II
Campbell Is not reelected III Ohio nor Boiesin
Iowa, and If, In consequence, we have to 60 east
there is Pattison of Pennsylvania, Albeit of
New Jersey and Waller of Connecticut. What
is the matter with any of them? Why, gentle
men, the woods are full of democratic possibil-
tiles. Those We have named are not even hid
in the bushes. We can 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"
