CONTEST FOR HoNoRs.

Fight I'm the Convention.

1t was thought two weeks ago that there
would be no contest whatever for the
presidential nomination of the National
Democrats but since then things have
taken on a somewhat different as
pect, and while 1t looked then
as If IL would be a sacrifice OF
such a nature that IL would be difficult to
persuade the right kind OF a man 70 sc-
cept the nomination. IL has since become -
be regarded TO be such an acceptable hon.
or that the friends OF a number OF DEM
ocrats of prominence are inclined 10 push
their names Among the names most
prominently mentioned to head the ticket
are: Senator Villas and General Bragg. Of
Wisconsin; Henry watterson. OF Ken
lucky: Senator Palmer. of Illinois; Secre-
tary Morton. of Nebraska. and Senator
Gray. of Delaware. Delegates from those
States are inclined TO push the fortunes OF
their favorites and instead OF being a cut
and-dried affair the convention is not un-
likely TO develop a little struggle upon the
presidential nomination.
The suggestion has been made that the
platform TO be adopted be confined entirely
20 the financial question, but the leaders
here do not take 10 this idea at all They
go upon the assumption that the organixa-
ton here built up must be the Democratic
party OF the future. lntH lntItlOTt nOlQ

money question. but upon all other Ques-
tions from a Democratic point OF view.
They believe that IL should declare for a
low tariff and all the usual tenets OF the
Democratic faith while coming out with
particular strength for sound money and
the preservation OF the authority and dig
nifty OF the Supreme Court and for the
preservation of contracts
While there IL general expectation
throughout the country that the convention
next week will have some direct word
from President Cleveland the leaders hers
do not expect it They would not be much
surprised If he should entrust letter TO
some close personal or political friend TO
be read If IL should prove opportune. but
they are inclined to the belief that he Will
say nothing until after the convention Is
over. They recall the fact that he has
made no expression whatever concerning
the Chicago convention and has not put
himself in the attitude OF approving the
National Democratic movement. This they
think he Will not do until he sees what de-
velops at the convention. After that they
have the utmost faith I'm the belief that he
will find n method of expressing himself I'm

The resolutions adopted by the Senate
Friday. after stirring speech by Senator
Frye. only mildly express the feelings
of the people Of the United States in re
gard to the Armenian situation. The
resolutions reeite pertinent provisions
of the treaty of Berlin, point out that
their effect was to place the Christian
subjects of the Porte under the pro-
lection of the signatory powers. state
the American people have heheld with
horror the recent appalling masSacres
and outrages of which the Christian
people of Turkey have been made the
victims. call upon the European powers
to do their duty under the treaty and
protect that population. and pledge the
support of Congress TO the President
in 1.-THE most vigorous actor" fer the
security of American citizens in Turkey
and the redress of their grievances. 1t
is not likely that the solemn protest of
the United States, though backed by
the authority of the nation, will avail to
do what public Indignation in Europe
has not been able to do Nevertheless
it is the duty of Congress To make the
protest and make il as emphateally as
possible.

The report published Thursday, of an
offensive and defensive alliance between
Russia and Turkey with France as party
to the arrangement, is of great i'm
portance if true. The report has not yet
been confirmed by all the London papers,
but it is evident that there is some UNI
Outstanding between the two countries.
Such an arrangement would be great
blow to England. In many respects the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of Russia is not pleas
ant to contemplate, but it may be the
only solution of the Armenian problem.
Russian despotism is preferable to Turk
ish anarchy and atrocity. England will
or can do nothing. The European con
cert is impotent Russia is the only
power in position to throw an army
into the disturbed districts and put a
stop to the Armenian massaeres.
