According to him, they are disposed to the belief that Senator Sherman is ite best man for them, and he says if Mr, Sherman has the proper kind of manager oh the ground when they arrive, he can scoop most of them in. He thinks that on the first bal- i . ' lot Sherman will lead all the other can didates, and will poll between two and three hundred votes, but he has not the least idea whether the Ohio man will climb up afterwards.

It is, however, to be conceded that the placing of Mr. Thurman on the democratic ticket lias appreciably in creased the chances that Ohio will name one of the candidates, whether his name be Sherman. Foraker or McKinley. Judge Gresham 's prospects are probably better at present than those of any other candidate. Already there are, it is said, over 200 vptes pledged to him, and there will probably be as many more at his service by the time the convention meets. Gresham and Phelps is a combination which will tncet the approval of many re- who think the . west should President and the east the Vice-President. The omission of the democrats :o take oiie of the names on their, ticket from Indiana may be said to have distinctly increased the proba bility that the republicans will look to that doubtful State for one of their candi dates and to New Terse v, another doubtful Hal sin Straw every grade.
