POLITICAL PoTPoURRL
Different Views OF Many Men of
the Land.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15-An unusual
number of prominent persons are in the
city at present, and they have been ex-
pressing their views on the presidential
possibilities. B. F. Jones. chairman of
the Republican national committee in
1884, said: Il do not hesitate to saw
that | think Mr.. Harrison will be nom
mated and that the outlook for his cleo
ton is bright one, and daily grows
brighter. As to the Democratic NOM
think it will be Cleveland. The chief
issues in the campaign will be protec-
ton and sound money. So far as the Re-
publicans are concerned, and the Dem
Ocrats will oppose both Of them"
Hon. Polndexter Dunn, for ten years
representative from the First Ar
kansas district, but who has spent the
last three years in Los Angeles, Cal,
speaking of politics on the Pacific coast,
says: The local sentiment out there
is strongly in favor of Mr.. Cleveland.
He has the confidence of the masses,
and if the question comes to the will of
the people l have no doubt about him
being the nominee. The question of
taken into consideration. and consider
ing the warning factions in New York,
am inclined to think some Western
man will be nominated" Turning to
the other side, Mr.. Dunn said: "Mr.
Blaine'S withdrawal is certainly a great
disappointment to the Republicans
throughout the country. He is stronger
with the masses today than at any time
during his life"
Hon. j. <. LuttrelI, 1872 to 1879
Democratic congressman from Cali
fOrnia, said: "Californla can be carried
again by Harrison, but Blaine would
have carried the state by, think, LOCO
majority. There is division OF senti-
inent between Cleveland and Hill How
ever, a Western man would suit US bet
ter-any one of the four-MorrisOn or
Palmer, of Illinois; Boies, of Iowa, or
Gray, of Indiana. Alger is very pop
ular Republican of the coast. | have
heard just such political sentiment all
the way along the line, in Nevada, Ne
braska and Iowa"
Ex-Congressman j. 81. Sweeney, of
Iowa, said: ''Iowa has always been
very strongly attached to Mr.. Blaine.
Now that he is not candidate, re-
cognizing, as they do, that Nr Harrison
has given the country an admirable adj
ministration. it seems quite probable
that he may receive the support of the
state IN the next convention. If either
CharksOn or Allison wish the support
of Iowa, it would doubtless be enthu-
siastically accorded. Gov. Boies will. in
my opinion, receive the support of the
Iowa delegation in the next national
Democratic convention. and deem him
much more available presidential tim
Der than a number of others, whose
names are mentioned in that connec-
ton. The fact that he has been twice
elected governor of Iowa, together with
the fact that he is man of ability, will
arrest the attention aud receive pretty
careful consideration from delegates
from the whole country"
congressman Casey Young, of
Memphis, thinks the opposition to Hill
will not amount to a row of pins"
'sWhy," said he, 'Mr. Hill is absolute
boss of the situation in New York. He
is the only real leader the Democratic
party has had for a quarter ola century.
Democrats there know it, and the conn
try is fast coming TO the same conclu-
