nearer the unerring finger of fatt
points more pertinatiously to hin
than ever as the logical outcome o
the Chicago convention. 1t Seems
certain now from the action of seve
raj of the largest States and the sen
timent of the South and West that
the convention will adopt a bimetal
platform. 1t is also certain that Mr.
Hill will go into the Chicago con.
vention backed by New York, Geor.
gia, Mississippi, North Carolina and
scattering votes from other States.
Gov. Boies will come up with Iowa
and several other Western votes.
Illinois will present Senator Palmer.
Indiana is already instructed for
Gray. Pennsylvania goes uninstruc-
ted but sends delegation for Patti
son. Massachusetts sends divided
delegation uninstructed to curry
favor with friends of other candi-
dates, hoping to secure a place on
the ticket for Governor Russell. Mr..
Cleveland will also have strong
following, but to suppose that he
will be nominated or ever receive a
majority is chimerical. The prize is
too great for patriotism or devotion

able ambition that burns i'm the
hearts of so many worthy men
whose chances are considered fair.
These men will be there to kill off
the foremost man. If not, ii will be
unlike any national convention ever
held with half 50 many dark horses
in the background.
Mr.. German has not appeared be-
fore the country seeking the office.
He has not taken sides with any fac
ton. He enjoys the confidence of
all. He is recognized as a statesman
of great ability, and the most daunt.

of Mr.. Cleveland in 1884. 1t was
then that he harmonized the
elements of New York and defeated
the Republicans. Later he saved by
his influence the city election to the
Democrats, when the party was rent
in factions. TO him the South owes
everlasting gratitude for the defeat of
the infamous Force bill, which, how
ever, is only scotched temporarily.
A fatal blunder by the Democracy
will revive this infamy and set in
motion the machinery for its accom-
plishment. But for Germans

mentary skill the South would now
be under negro rule and have no
part in naming a President. How

pay such a debt ofgratitude than by
nominating him for the Presidency d?
