WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 10
The prevailing impression is that Mr.. |
Blaine's letter of declination practi-
cally leaves the field to Mr.. Harrison,
and yet it is admitted that there are
several prominent gentlemen who are
favorably considered in connection
with the nomination, the most promi-
| nent of whom are General Russell A.
Algers, of Michigan, and Senator
Cullom, of Illinois.
| If the next President is to be Re-
publican, let's by all means pray that
it will be Algers, of Michigan, gen
tleman, as gentle and courtly in peace,
as he was brave and intrepid in war.
THE MID WINTER CONVENTION.
The movement to call, or we
might write, force the meeting Of
the State Convention in New York,
in February, causes much comment
both here aud in New York.
! 1t is generally conceded that
Senator Hill has made the mistake
of his life, and the matter has gore
so far that there appears to be no
help for it now. Many, who were
outspoken only few days ago III
their admiration Of Senator HILL,
either now pronounce the move
ment broad mistake, or with {.
ominous shrug of the shoulders de-
cline to express an opinion. 1t is
q,ite evident that Senator David
&. Hill has lost ground very ma
terially as a Presidential possibility
within the past ten days.
Mr.. CLEVELAND.
/ To one who carefully weighs tht
a situation, both here and in New
= York, as your correspondent ha
Z -nd-avor-d to do, there is but on
conclusion-Mr. Cleveland is b,
