1 WASHINGTON, req. 10. An unusuhd
| number of prominent persons are in the
city at present, and they have been ex-
pressing their views on the presidential
possibilities of the season.
B. F. Jones, of Pittsburg, chairman OF
the Republican national committee in
| 1884, said: 81 do not hesitate tosay that
| think Mr.. Harrison will be nominated,
and that the outlook for his election lie a
bright one, and daily grows brighter.
As to the Democratic nomination, can
only make guess think 1t viii be
| Cleveland. The chief issues in the CAM
pain will be protection and sound money,
30 far as the Republicans are concerned,
and the Democrats will oppose both OF
them"
| Hon. Poindexter Dunn, for ten years
q representative from the First Arkan-
sas district, but who has spent the last
| three years in Los Angeles, CAL, speak
| ing of politics on the Pacific coast: "The
local sentiment out there is strongly in
favor of Mr.. Cleveland. He has the
confidence of the masses and ii the ques-
ton comes to the win of the people,
have no doubt about him being the
nominee. The question Of availability,
however, will have to be taken into con-
sideration, and considering the warning
factions in New York am inclined to
| think some Western man will be nom-
mated" Turning to the other side, Mr..
Dunn said; Mr.. Blaine's withdrawal is
certainly great disappointment to the
Republicans throughout the country.
He is stronger with the masses to-day
than at any time during his life."
Hon. J. X. Luttrell, from 1872 to 1879
Democratic congressman from Cali
forina, said: California can be car
ried again by Harrison, but Blaine
would have carried the state by, think,
10000 majority. There is division of
sentiment between Cleveland and Hill.
However, Western man would suit us
better-any one OF the four Morrison
or Palmer, of Illinois; Boies, OF Iowa,
or Gray, of Indiana. Alger is a very
popular Republican of the coast. have
heard just such political sentiment all
the way along the line-in Nevada,
Nebraska and Iowa."
Ex-C Congressman J. I'll. Sweeney, of
Iowa. said: Iowa has always been
very strongly attached to Mr.. Blaine.
Now that he is not candidate, recog-
mixing a. they do that Mr.. Harrison has
given the country an admirable admin
istration, it seems quite probable that
he may receive the support Of the state
in the next convention. do not think
that it is possible at the present time,
though, to say to certainty that such
will be the case. IL either Clarkson or
Allison wish the support of Iowa il
would doubtless be enthusiastically ac-
corded. Governor Boies will, in my
opinion, receive the support of the Iowa
delegation in the next national Demo-
cratic convention, and / deem him
much more available presidential timber
than number of others whose names
are mentioned in that connection. The
fact that he has been twice elected gov
ernor of Iowa, together with the fact
that he is man of ability, will arrest
the attention and receive pretty careful
consideration from delegates from the
whole country"
Ex-Congressman Casey Young, of
Memphis, thinks 'the opposition to Hill
will not amount to row of pins,
On the other hand Mr.. L. w. Ma
grauder, of Vicksburg, who has also
been in New York, says: Senator Hill
cannot win the political nomination.
The sentiment against him in New
York is growing bitterer every day.
They have spiteful way over there of
killing off man when they see him as
suming too much control. Men
| who supported Mr.. Hill for gov
ernor are joining in this revolt. Then.
another thing, his Elmira speech has
weakened HIM. The situation seems to
be, Hill has slain Cleveland and has
committed suicide by overreaching him
self. In other words, he has not per
mitted the people to deliberate. but he
has assumed to dictate, and it win not
be Cleveland. The nomination viii 20

/ A prominent Missouri politician is
Colonel r. j. Denham. He says that
Missouri will send Cleveland solid del
egation to Chicago. 1t does not like his
silver views, but it does like his notions
on tariff. So far as Cleveland goes, the
Missouri Democracy is like the man
| who married an ugly woman: II don't
/ like her looks any better than you do.n
he explained to his mother, ss.but did
not marry her for looks; nailed her
because she's 8 good housekeeper.
Cleveland's mighty good presidential
housekeeper and we win put up with q

can't have Cleveland it win want man
