The Chicago Evening Post of Wednea-

Benjamin T. Cable is ready to give

and registered at ne Richeliou hotel, bGl
he was in such great mand that callers

think Mir Cl-velaCd is bound TO Tam
many or any other political. organization
by promises. 1t wOa'd not be like Mi
Cleveland to have his hands tied like
that. He starts upon a firm TESS, as the
country well knows. In regsId to the
talk that he would interpose his voice in
the selection of q United $ ates senator
from the Empire state, l know nothing,
but it hardly seems as if he would forget
himself so far as to dictate in that re-
gard. Edward Murphy, gathered from
my talks n New York, is aWsy in the
lead for the senatoGshlp and he certainly
has the strength Of the people to push
him on. Mclaughlin l d.n't think Is a
candidate for The place.

Republican Party not Dead.
Now that the shock resulting rom
the election is over, l might say that i,
is rather poor taste for the democrats 10
say that the republican party is dead
| damned forever. | take it that the party
ca1 stand adversely and defeat in traver
manner. The party has not yet had
enough drubIinCs to take the heart
out OF it. We cannot sit on our oars and
feed our minds that stuf-we democrats.
The republicans will rally and make their
great fight in 1894 Should the Ieqisla
tive power still remain with US, after
that fight, they will fall back for y grand
charge in 1896.
Mr.. Cable will remain in Chicago at
least two days and he will then return 10
his home in Rock Island.
