OUT of 1T ALREADY.

Thus early in the presidential cam
paign of 1896, it may be made part Of
the record that the "favorite-son"
scheme is failure. In New York. all
the power Of the machine and all the
prestige of the states official patron
age has not been able to make solid the
support of Governor Morton: the op-
position to him from some of the dis
tricts of the state will be noisy. This
opposition will not be a potent factor,
perhaps, in anybody's favor. but it will
be numerous enough to be in evidence
OF the fact that New York is not solid
for Morton.
In Illinois, the "favorite-son" racket
is a fzzle. Senator Cullom started out
with the intention of carrying that
states delegation to st. Louis in his in
side pocket-his friends said that the
delegation was his. Already positive
assurances are given, as the result of a
canvass OF delegates now chosen, that
at least one-third of the Illinois dele
CATION will start out for Mckinley and
stay with him.
Mr.. ManderSon undertook TO De a
"favorite son" from Nebraska. For a
time much was heard about the popu-
lar uprising in his favor. The move
ment ends I'm smoke after a battle that
was hardly worth the lighting. MIR.
Henderson himself is now quoted as
saying that Nebraska appears to favor
Mckinley and that his own campaign
would result in an empty compliment;
at best. AS We understand it, Mr.. Man
derson has pulled out.

FOR A FIFTH TERN.

In Mexico they do not care how many
terms their president has, as long as
prosperous times attend his admins
tration. The presidential election &C.
ours in Mexico next July and Diaz Is
candidate for a fifth term. AS with
us, the tenure in Mexico is four years,
so that If Diaz is elected as seems
probable. and lives through his term,
he will have served twenty years in the
presidency.
President Diaz has witnessed nearly
all the changes out of which modern
Mexico was evolved. In youth he was
ready for any adventure. He shared
in the war between Mexico and the
United States; he fought Santa Anna;
he opposed the government of Maxi
milan which France, in the time of
Napoleon the Third. sought to fasten
on Mexico. Once he was a candidate
for the office of president. with Juarez
for his rival He was defeated and
then he conspired. He has been an
exile, a leader of revolts and, in his
time. a political adventurer-but he has
always strengthened his hold on his
countrymen.
VIGOROUSLY, President Diaz led Mex
leo up to its era of prosperity. His
successive administrations have been
strong, progressive and successful.
Under him his country has enjoyed a
long period of peace. of growth and of
remarkably rapid industrial develop
ment. Mexico's finances are to-day in
admirable shape; the country's credit
is good: the administration of national
affairs is excellent.
The indications are that there will
be sharp rivalry for the Mexican presi-
dency this year. However. the fore
casts are to the effect that the people
are satisfied with existing conditions
and that they will be disposed to vote a
fifth term for the chief executive who
has been foremost in promoting Mex
icos best interests.

THE FISH INCIDENT.

The dispatches recently received by
the western press did not make clear
the Hamilton Fish incident in the dis
cussion of the Cuban question Briefly
the case is this: Speaker Hamilton Fish,
of the lower house i'm the New York leg
ton certain extracts from the diary of
his distinguished father, who was sec
rotary of state during President Grants
second term.
1t appears that President Grant had
concluded to recognize Cuban belliger-
ent rights, in 1871, but that he was dis
suaded by the secretary of state. The
diary of the secretary recites how he
called on Senator Sherman, who was in
favor of recognizing the beligerency of
Cuba, how he showed him that fight
ing is not beligerency," and how he un-
dertook to satisfy Sherman that there
was no government of the insurrection-
airy party. President Grant, after his
retirement, wrote to Fish assuring him
of his gratitude for having been in
duced to avoid what he, Grant. had
since become convinced would have
been a mistake.
The effort of the anti-Cuban party
now is to turn the Fish diary to ac-
count; they wish to have II appear that
the pending conditions are parallel with
those which existed in 1871.
