CANDIDATES

The New York World has now come to
this conclusion,
If, as now seems likely, the National
Democratic convention shall drop all New
York candidates, then, on n sound tariff
reform aud honest money platform. we
believe that any one of the following
named nine gentlemen can unite the fac
tions. carry New York and be elected
President OF the United States;
Governor Horace Boies of Iowa.
Governor Robert Il. Pattison of Penn
sylvania.
Senator John NJ. Palmer OF Illinois.
Senator John G. Carlisle of Kentucky.
Chief Justice Melville w. Fuller of
Illinois.
Senator Arthur P. German Of Mary
land.
Governor William Il. Russell of Massa-
chusetts.
Governor Isaac p. Gray of Indiana.
Governor Leon Albeit of New Jersey.
The World is extremely kind in thus ar
b%ltrsriiy settling the question Of the
Democratic presidential nomination. 1t
is also extremely kind IN deciding in favor
OF a gold standard man, though according
to a close friend of Governor Beies who
has been interviewed in Des Moines since
the Denver banquet, it nay have missed
lis guess on the Iowa man. He is alleged
to be still for free silver. although it
would not be wise to whisper this too
loudly or the World may withdraw its
countenance.
The situation in New York is generating
u growing Democratic disgust, but at the
same time we are inclined to believe the
World is blufing. After next Mondays
convention it may react on itself.

FACE THE ISSUE.

That rabidly bitter Republican news
paper. the st. Louis Giobe Democrat say;
in the course OF a long editorial: There
ia a good deal of absurdity in the assertions
of the New York spectators who are
saying that the passage Of the Bland free
silver bill by the house would send gold
to a premium. This bill will certainly
pass the house. Four out Of every five
Democrats in that body are in favor OF
this and the Democracy has q majority OF
over l4O IN it. A few of the leaders of
that party are opposed to the cousidera-
ton o: the bill at present, but their atti-
tude on this point is due to partisan and
not economic considerations. They fear
that its passage IN the house would repel
n sufficient number OF Democrats in
New York and New jersey to give these
states to the Republicans and with them
the presidency Let free silver be had
alter the election. they say, but be silent
about it now and don't inject this issue
into the canvass. The Democratic posi-
ton on this question is well understood
by the country. Every newspaper reader
feels confident that the great bulk of the
Democratic representatives and senators
are pledged to advocate the largest liber-
ties TO the white metal, and that any
scheme in this direction which comes be-
fore congress is assured OF a practically
solid Democratic vote
It may as well be acknowledged at
once that the party's record on this sub
iec; was made in the last congress. Ex-
pediency might suggest that it be not in
jected into the next presidential campaign
but whatever benefit or injury may accrue
from an alliance with silver will accrue in
any event now. The honest sentiment of
the Democrats in congress is with silver.
They believe the passage Of the fee coin
age bill will vastly benefit the country.
Let them therefore take the bull by the
horns and force the fighting.
They will gain neither credit for them
selves nor party advantage by holding the
question in abeyance during the first SEES.
