WHERE ARE THEY?
Meaning the Men Who Will Head
the Presidential Tickets.

IL the Chicago convention Ices no
worse than to nominate Governor
Robert T.. Pattison, of Pennsylvania,
its action will command the confidence
and electoral Endorsement of the couu-
try.-Troy Press-Dem.
The democratic party nnO win in
coming presidential election if divided
into hostile camps. The loosening OF
party ties was never 50 apparent as il
is to-day. The dictatorial course OF
party bosses has brought the democrat
ic party near the verge of ruin.-Sene-
ca Falls Revcille-Dcm.
The nomination of Mr.. Cleveland
would make Alabama II doubtful state,
along with Georgia and South Carolina
and North Carolina and Florida. This
farmers movement cannot be sneered
away or ignored. cit Is not II theory,
but Il condition that confronts us" II
cares little for the tarIff.-Birminghan
Age-llerald.
If more than one OF two ballots are
required to nominate the democratic
candidate nj Chicago, the name oI
Governor Robert +. Pattison, of Penn.
~sylvania, will loom up largely before
the assembled delegates. In such al
event he has elements of strength which
would give great prestige to his candi,
dacy, and perhaps crown it with sue,
cess.-Troy Press-Dem.
We may say that the Chicago con,
v~ention can be relied upon to pick out
the strongest man in the party and
that that man will be triumphantly
elected. Democrats should now stop
wrangling among themselves and com.
bine for victory against the common
foe. Whether his name be Cleveland,
Hill, Boies, Russell, Flower, Pattison,
Gray, Palmer, Whitney, Villas oil
Campbell, the next president will be 9
democrat.-Boston Republication.
OF course Mr.. Hill, like all Other
sound democrats, is not for anything
less than Il sound dollar, whether il be
silver, gold or greenback, but he wants
the silver ssdollar of our daddies" to
stand along with gold as the Lawful
money of the country and for the peo-
pie. That is the sort of man to hold
the solid south together in the coming
election and TO be the neXt democratic
MISUNDERSTANDING News-Dem.
The democracy of every state have
so far spoken for Cleveland except thai
of New York, and even there the demo.
cratic masses are for him. From now
on the rest of the states will fall int,
line with the majority, and Mr.. Cleve.
land will in all probability be nomi
mated by reclamation either on thu
first or second ballot. The opponent'
of the ex-president might as well lool
at matters ~squarely as they stand
Richmond Times-Dem.
In the last fifty years the politica
parties that have ignored New lorl
us to candidates have been the mos
successful, as the wings in 1910 an'
1913, the democrats in 1874, 1852 ant
18lG-s~s4d the renohlicans in 1860
1904; urobo, 1872 aI"T 1876. ~ tht
light of this history il will he the par
of wisdom for the assembled democra
cy at Chicago to look elsewhere thar
to New York for their candidate ant
to steer very far and clear from thu
factional discussions of that incompre.
