on a National Issue.
Belief That Harrison Will Be the
Republican Nominee.
Hill and Cleveland Chiefly Named
as His Probable Opponent.

an opinion.
1t has been a sort of pig in-the clover
game as to who will carry off the coveted
prize, with both of the great political par
ties. One day Mr.. Harrison hobs up
serenely, as much as to say, now YOU see
me, and the next t%wenty-four hours will
usher into the political arena, a dark
horse, and then Mr.. Harrison's admirers,
some of them, whisper, now you don't
see him." Shifting, indeed. are the
clouds that oyershadow the outlook. and
to whom those clouds will turn their ISL
very lining" and for whom they will
weep ''copious tears OF sorrow" is there
fore a mystery hat will, perhaps, be
solved by the Republican national conven-
ton. next June, In the city of Minneapo-
lis. So also with the Democratic national
convention which meets In Chicago W
weeks later.
Judging from the general outlook over
the country the Democratic situation is
certainly somewhat complicated, and cha
otto, too.
Yesterday THE LEADER felt the public
pulse OF Cheyenne, politically speaking,
and this morning presents to its readers
the results of hat investigation. It
might be well to say, also, that if that re-
suit should happen to become national,
which it now looks like it will. Benjamin
Harrison will head the Republican ticket
and David Bennett Hill will carry the
Democratic banner to victory and to
glory. Here are what the persons whose
names are given say:
State Engineer Elwood Mead, RI
think Harrison will be re%nomlnated, be-
yond the shadow of a doubt, now that
Blaine is out of the way. As to the
Democratic nominee, L am inclined to
think Gov. Boles of Iowa will be the
man."
State Auditor Charles w. Burdick. r,
blaine was my first choice. He is the
greatest statesman in the United States,
the broadcast and most liberal and mag
netic men in the world, but now, if
he cannot take the nomination Harrison
is my second choice. You can say for
me that l think the two great opposing
political generals will be Harrison and
Hill"
Inspector Gen. Medium, R-''Blaine
was my first choice. but as he can not
accept the nomination, which would have
been unanimously thurst upon him, l am
for President Harrison, and | think he
will be renominated easily. [ hope it will
be President Harrison and Senator David
B. Hill, and | am confident that will be
the ticket"
George A. Draper, D-"There is no
question to my mind as to who will head
the Republican ticket. That Harrison
will have easy sailing for the nomination
there is no doubt. now that Blaine has
voluntarily shelved himself. And l
think a dark horse will carry the Demo-
cratic saddle. That man, in my opinion,
is Governor Leon Albeit OF New Jersey.
He is my choice and L think he will win"
H. B. Kelley, D-'I am for Senator
Hill, first. last and all the time for the
Democratic candidate. l am also for ex-
Gov. Gray of indiana for vice president.
With that ticket in the field the world.
the flesh and the devil can't defeat us. [
am in favor of that ticket and l believe it
will be nominated and will win. Harrison
will be the Republican nominee"
Dx-Sherff John Martin, D-"Score
one for me in favor of Hill and Gray.
That is the winning ticket. That is the
ticket which will pc placed in toe field
and l am In favor of it from the word go.
No opposition can down the ticket. That
old gag don't 90 any more that Hill is
only a politician. he has shown himself
to be one of the best and ablest statesmen
this country ever produced.
Walter R. Stoll. D-Benjamin Harri-
son will the Republican nominee. Da-
vld Bennett Hill will be the Democratic
nominee. l will 20 further and say that
David Bennett Hill will be the next pres
lent of these United States"
R. W. Breckons. R-"The two men
who will head the tickets of the two great
opposing parties this year will be Benia-
min Harrison and David B. Hill. If
Blaine had received the Republican nom
nation, l think Cleveland would have
been named BY the Democrats. but now
[ think Hill the most formidable Demo-
crat in the race"
Max Meyer, D-"I am a Hill man
through and through. l think Hill will
undoubtedly be the choice of the Demo-
cratic national convention. L have no
doubt. if he is, he will be elected by a
large majority. Harrison will receive the
Republican nomination"
Mayor Bresnahen, D-"I think the
Blaine letter is a blind, and would not be
the least bit surprised to see him nomi-
mated. If not, | am : inclined to think
Harrison will get it. As to the Demo-
cratic ticket, l think it will bear the
names Of Hill of New York and Boies of
Iowa"
