New York Advertiser dnd.) Judge
Gresham is good man. Perhaps that Is the
reason he will not head the third party ticket
for president. o.s ~
Kansas City Times (den.): Harrison should
appoint Judge Gresham TO fill the supreme
court vacancy. Thht kind of bird in hand
would be, WORTH ah1whole covey pushed at
Omaha.
ST. Louis Glooe- Democrat (repy: Gresham
says he wouldn't accept the peoples party's
presidential nomination il it were offered
tiim. No reasonable being ever supposed
that he would.
st. Louis Republic (dem.): Judge Gresham
declines to be candidate for the third party
nomination. With such y third party candi
date something would drop in the politics of
the United States and dull would be the thud
of its dropping.
Denver Republican: or course Judge
Gresham Will not permit his name to go be.
fore the Omaha convention as a presidential
candidate. and even if he should there is no
likelihood that he would secure the nominal
tion. He is too sound republican to please
the Omaha gathering.
Denver Sun (rep.): The peoples party is
an uncertain element in our politics this
year. 1t will therefore be the cause of some
solicitude and the occasion of some anxiety
and distraction. But it is really not an ele-
mont OF as uncertain aud threatening
| StT6uStu was buo diiluHCc, OuJ VI
which it has developed, Two years ago.
Minneapolis Journal (rep): There will as
semple IN Omaha Saturday tho first national
convention of the peoples party, an agRrega-
tion OF discontented people, from the indus
trial classes largely, who have been rounded
up by set of deTagogues of that class who
always rush to the front for personal profit
where there is any chance for incendiary
agitation among the people.
Minneapolis Tribune (rep.): Taubeneck
says the peoples party will poll 100000
votes at the national election. AS 7,000,0OO
votes properly distributed, as Mr.. Taube-
neck's 1000, 900 douDrless are, will be enough
to elect, the republicans and democrats have
been guilty OF an objectionable waste Of time,
money ana wind in holding national conven-
tions and nominating candidates.
Philadelphia Record (dem.): Should Judge
Gresham decide to accept tho nomination of
the peoples party the candidate would be
more than tho platform. An incapable fac
tion would have found capable leadership.
But there is no danger that Judge Gresham
will lay aside his gown and put on cap and
bells even TO press thorn into the side of his
enemy, Benjamin Harrison. The peoples
party will have TO look further for crank to
suit their crankiness.
Kansas City Star Qnd. dem.): Judge
Gresham's positive statement seems to
destroy anv chances of his nomination at
Omaha, yet the peoples party could scarcely
do better or as well. Judge Gresham's nom
cred favornbly by the country. Could this
happen the spectacle would be presented OF
three parties IN order Of battle, headed by
three leaders OF prominence and character as
distinguished from4.dark horses," three rep
resentative Amefi6Ans, three public men
with records opehEhnd known to the couD
try.
Denver News ,gnd.): II Judge Gresham
is nominated and dtaceepts on silver plat
form he will mak4a avery strong run. The
labor organizations'ntl over the country will
give him a strong support He will receive
a vote in Indiana and Illinois that will rem
der the decision In those states exceedingly
doubtful, Ho hasterery prospect OF carry
ing four or i've III rhe southern states IN
He can and Will doubtless carry Iowa, Ne
braska and Kansas, while ne would sweep by
large mUjorities the mining states. Judge
Gresham Is by fan the strongest, as he Is the
ablest, man tnat can be named AT Omaha.
Chicago Herald fdam.l: Judge Gresham,
who is soJourning at an Indiana summer re-
sort, said to correspondent OF the Herald
that he is not a ~ 9bdidate for the presidential
nomination Of tho peoples party and that his
name will not go before the Omaha conven-
| ton with his consent He refused TO speak
| on the subject OF politics further than TO
| condemn the growing evil OF the control of
| elections aud legislation by the corrupt
| use OF money. The statement on tho SUB
| ject OF his candidacy IL what was reasonably
| expected OF Juoge Gresham. IL Is evident
| that he does not look hopefully TO tho out
| come of the Omaha convention. He believes,
| no doubt, as do many other prominent men
| who are To an extent dissatisfied with both
