Question-Congresslon Campaign Conn
mittee-Kentucky senatorship.
CINcINNATI. Feb. 2a-The Commercial
Gazette, in its series Of articles on Demo
cratic presidential possibilities, prints one
today penned by Stilson Hutchins in
favor of William r. Morrison, of Illinois.
In the outset he says: 1T is assumed by
many Republicans. and admitted by
many Democrats, that the next kpresi-
Dental election is as good as decided.
The man, not the successful party, is in
doubt. And yet we have seen in the last
four years three political convulsions
which have shattered the most carefully
constructed schemes and aspirations.
william II. Morrison Is His Man.
Whatever machine politicians and
stump orators may say, the thinking
masses know that there Is q very narrow
boundary line between the two great DO
litical parties. They also know there is
less discipline than division. There are
hosts OF revenue rcformers who are in .he
habit Of voting the Republican ticket. and
hordes OF protectionists who have never
failed to cast a Democratic ballot am
one who believes the Democratic party
would act most wisely If it nominated a
plain, practical everyday man, one with
. record sufficiently prominent to lift him
out Of the commonplace and protect him
from calumny. Such u man, I think, is
William r. Morrison, Of Illinois,"
Record ~ . Soldier and Tariff Rcformer.
"He is of good pluck, and was one of
the first to fall upholding the Union
standard in the early battle Of Fort Dom
elson, on whose field he was left for dead,
but was nursed and nourished back to
life by n devoted wife. Mr.. Morrison is a
man of ability; 1 should not put it too
strong il l said Of great ability. His fight
for lower tariff was the strongest that
has ever been made in the last fifty years
and on the best lines as well-that of q
uniform (horizonta) reduction until con-
gress, by practical experience, discern
just where and how deep the knife should
be applied.
Would Prefer Democrats for Onico.
''Mr. Morrison is what might be called
party man. By this mean that he
would consider members of his own organi-
cation rs entitled to a preference in the
distribution of such favors as he had to
dispense. Somewhat affected by my
own .re0eopi0n& have now reached the
conclusion that Mr.. William R. Morrison
would have a very fair chance for an cleo
ton. As against Governor Morton his
chance would be improved. His record
will suit the common people, and they
arc largely in the majority. His location
would suit the west and the south and
they could elect him."

NICARAGUA STARTS A REVOLUTION.
President Zclaya Has Fight ON with the

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Feb. 25.-Via
Galvcston.-Ncws has been received here
Of the outbreak Of n revolt, and the dis
tricts north Of Lake Managua, comprising
the departments Of the west and Of the
north, both Of them numerously popu-
lated, arc in full revolution and are armed
against President Zclaya. The president
has lost no time in proclaiming martial
lnw and is recruiting the army rapidly,
having already impressed many men.
The revolutionists arc faction Of the
political party now in power in Nicaragua,
and the opposition party seems quiet at
present with no purpose Of joining the
revolution. All mail and telegraphic com.
munication between Manngua and the
disturbed districts in the west and north
have been stopped. Details of the condi-
ton Of affair are therefore meagre.
