telegram caused widespread comment.
1t is now being used by his enemies,
who say that if he were nominated
for the presidency the laboring men
would oppose him. That is an assump-
ton that the laboring men, in cool
deliberation, would knife their friend.
They would do nothing of the kind.
There are other presidential POSSIBLE
tiles in congress. / have mentioned
Senator Allison and Speaker Reed; but
there are others. Senator Cullom, Of
Illinois, is not candidate, but his name
is being used by his friends, and he
would be acceptable to the friends of
Mckinley, Allison, Harrison, Reed and
Davis. There is no better man in con-
gress to-day than Senator Cullom. He
has been long in public lite, and he is
to his country have been constant for
many years. He has rendered con-
spicuous service as chairman OF the
committee on interstate commerce. He
is diligent in attending 10 his duties.
and capable of filling the highest Office
in the land.
Senator Julius C. Burrows, of Mich
igan, although not candidate for the
presidency, is often spoken of in that
connection. He has been a member of
the house of representatives for 20
years and was only recently transferred
to the senate by the legislature of his
state. He is great orator; one of
the greatest of this generation. He is
familiar with public affairs, and popu-
lar with his colleagues among the
great men of this day. He is true to
his friends, and as warm hearted and
generous as he is able and experienced.
Everybody who knows him likes him.
Ex-Spealier Crisp, of Georgia, is often
spoken of as a presidential possibility.
IT is said, however, that because he
was born in England he would be in
eligible. That is mistake. He was
born in Sheffield while his parents were
there on visit; and the accident of for
eign birth under such circumstances
would not interfere with his presiden-
tial availabilities. He is the son of an
American citizen, and could not be
barred from the presidency because of a
circumstance over which he had no con-
troll.
Senator Dubois, of Idaho, is spoken
of as alikely candidate for the vice pres
idency. He is yet ayoung man and does
not aspire to the honor, but his friends
are using his name very freely in that
connection; and the nomination may
come to him without his seeking. Men
who achieve great honors by their own
efforts sometimes have greater honors
thrust upon them.
Senator PETER, of Kansas, the en-
inent populist, is spoken of as the prob
able candidate of the populist party for
the presidency; and in the event of the
political circumstances which might
throw the election into the house OF
representatives, Senator PETER might
&c selected for the presidency. He is
good man, and a gentleman of high
character.
John Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, the
eloquent young protectionist, is spoken
Of as. Tom Reeds second choice for the
nomination. That is to say, if Reed
cannot secure the nomination, it is
claimed that he would desire to have
his friends support Dalzell. If chance
or fate should bring John Dalzel to the
white house, our national affairs would
be fairly, honorably and conservatively
administered.
Senator Gray, of Delaware, is spoken
of as presidential possibility. He is
q great constitutional lawyer, strict
partisan, and an earnest champion of
the principles of his party. He is an
orator, scholar and statesman of much
merit. No senator has been more often
heard during the past three years upon
all questions of national and interna-
tional interest.
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, chair
man of the committee on appropria-
