April 29,1591. tf , r PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONA REPUBLICAN S REVIEW OF THE POLITICAL FIELD. Interesting Speculation as to the Chance* of Democratic anil Ke> publican Candidates. Shenandoah, Iowa, Sentinel. There cun be little doubt tliut Benj. Harrison will be re-noinlnated by the republicans. He has made a good president and has uo enemies In his party. The withdrawal of Mr. Blaine leaves Dractically a clear field for the President. On the democratic side there is no such unity of sentiment* Grover Cleveland is undoubtedly the choice of a majority of the party, and the ablest man In the party, but his open opposition to the free coinage ol silver lias alienated many of his friends, especially in the west; and his own state, the pivotal slate of New York, has gone over bodily to Senator D. U. Hill, the enemy of Cleveland. The democrats of the country, by consultlrg their preferences ouly, would force the nomination of Cleveland, but they know that to do so would destroy their hope of success In New York and indeed would meet with dangerous oppositions from the hard money democrats in that state. Neither Cleveland nor Iilll could command the full strength of the democratic party in the pivotal states. There is much talk through the west of selecting a western candidate not allied with either faction of eastern democracy, but with such a selection there is danger that the party workers in and around New York City will be Indifferent and permit the loss of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut which would more than overbalance any gain they could hope to mnke In the west. The western possibilities are Boies and Palmer but there Is little likelihood of their selection, as in the event the party goes west ol New York they will try to secure Indiana. Gray and Carlisle would, It seems to us, come nearer tilling the requirements of a successful democratic candidate than any one yet mentioned, unless Hill withdraws his opposition to Cleveland. Had the election been held two years ago or even one yearasjo the democrats would nave UCUII hUCCCMMIUl UC)\Jliu n. wmiH, uui uici c in c several reasons to think the two parties are now nearly equal In strength. Ibe advantage secured by the democrats two years ago owing to a misconception of the tariff has been to a great extent lost because their predictions as to prices have not come to pass except In a few instances. Furthermore many of them have not the courage that animated Grover Cleveland toadvoeate tariff for revenue on !y, and their halting course under the leadership ol Crisp and Springer Is not a course tnat will compare favorably with the aggressive, positive policy of the republicans. There Is but one opinion among republicans on the tariff question and that is unfaltering devotion to the principle of protection. The democrats are also apparently hopelessly divided on the silver question. If they declare for free coinage they abandon their hope of New York and Connecticut and endanger Maryland and the Virginias. If they declare against It they offend their friends In the west and destroy hopes of gains there. If. like Governor Boles, tbey Ignore the silver question they will be regardeu with suspicion by extremists on both sides and as cowardly by everybody. The republican party on the olher hand has nothing to fear from this cause. They will not be tn danger of loss of any western stale unless the democratic parly declares for free coinage. In which event the republicans would win In New York. It will thus be seen that the republicans are harmonious and aggressive both as to candidates and Issues wtlie thejdemocrals are divided and timid as to both. The democrats, however, have an advantage in their prestige of an almost overwhelming victory in the congressional elections two years ago, hy the fact that they have almost undisputed control ol the south which elects nearly half the electors, by their division of Michigan which will prevent a republican victory counting for anything, and by their absolute control of the political machinery In New York. There Is also a possibility of coalitions with the peo pie's party in Home states and thus secure the defeat of the republicans. Much a result would benefit the democrats either directly or indirectly. Directly, if they should thereby secure a majority ol the electors, indirectly if the people's parly should secure, in this mauner, enough electors 10 throw the election into the House of Representatives, for that being democratic would certaloly elect the democratic candidate. The electoral college will consist of 444 members, of which it will take 223 to elect. The election this fall will be the first under the new apportionment and the republicans will have a little advantage as the solid south. New York, New Jersey and Connecticut can i no longer control the election, as the following figures will show: The 16 states known as "the solid south" have 159 electors, New York has :W, New Jersey 10 and Connecticut 0 making 211 in all or 12 votes less than a majority. If weaddto that half the Michigan electors the result Is 218 or 5 less than a majority. The democrats then to win must carry all those states and Indiana or some western slate. There tire several contingencies in which the republicans could wIh without New York but hardly a possibility for democratic success without New York. Figures will show this. Let us suppose that New York goes republican and then figure out a democratic victory if possible. Solid South 159 votes. New Jersey 10 " Connecticut fi " Indinnn 15 " Michigan 3 ' Montana ' 15 " Iowa M " Minnesota 9 " Total 2il Such a result as this in possible but highly improbable for a ticket arid platform that would be weak in New York would bo weak In Connecticut, New Jersey and Indiana, and oue that would be strong there would give them Utile hope in the west. The loss of a single state above natned would necessitate the currying o. another western state as WisnAnoln VuhrotL'ft Th*? Homn^volu rmiKf. base their hope o( success noon New York. Without It they will almost certainly be beaten; with it they may he beaten. Suppose the democrats carry New Yori: and the republicans carry thestntes usually regarded as surely republican. Of the doubtful states then the republicans will need to carry only one to win or If they can carry West Virginia they will need none of them. For the convenience of those who would like to figure n little on their own account we j-lve herewith the entire electoral vote of the II states dividing them into what we consider a fair estimate in case the democrats do not declare for irec coinage of silver.

The ; vote of those two states equals that of Iowa. ! South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and Nevada, and tin? democrats would feel ' highly elated to carry even one o! those six It has be??n generally conceded that the republicans have no chance of success in any southern state and lor that reason they usually concentrate their etlorls upon the north and let the democrats have undisputed possession of the south. This year however an effort will be made? to divide the south. Is there ground tor hope? her us examine the figures of the past four presidential elections In a lew states.

Missouri 5",048,55,01 > ; 13,059 28,701 32,'M'< These are the stales known as the uppei south and in which the negro population Is small. The whites in these states have no fear of negro ascendancy and the republican sentiment Is growing steadily, while in the lower south where the negroes equal or outnumber the whites the latter have been compelled to make the race issue prominent and the democrats have gained as steadily as the republicans have In the white states. In the seven suites above mentioned tbe republicans gained in every state In every period of four years except In one period each in North Carolina and Tennessee. What Is still more remarkable, the republicans gained uniformly In the white counties and lost In those counties where the blacks were numerous. Maryland was republican at the lust presidential election outside the citjvof jialtimore. The gain in that Rtate iti eacn period whs between four and five thousand. The same (tain this vear will leave the democrats only about 1,500 majority. The same rate of gain In West Virginia will give the state to the republicans by over three thousand. If Virginia continues her rale of gain the republicans will carry the state by about four thousands. A continuation of the gains in the other fonr stateH will make the democratic majorities uncomfortably small. These gains In the past must be remembered were made without hope of success or outside assistance except in West Virginia. A determined etl'nrt by the National Republican Committee will certainly carry soine of them. Maryland and the two Virginias are as naturally republican in interests as Pennsylvania and Ohio. A full vote in the black stales of South Carolina, Allsslssppl and Louisiana would give them to the republicans but the white race there will retain supremacy at all hazards. The republicans will do better to devote their effotts to carry the white states of the south where political issues are the same as In the north. In Loulsl* ana alone is there any hope for the republicans and that is owing to division among the democrats on the lottery question, but the factions will probably unite In tjme to carry the state. We consider the chances are excellent for the republicans to carry West Virginia, almost, as good in old Virginia, and possible in Maryland, Tennessee and Louisiana. Thus it will be seen that the republicans huv'A ovnollonf utol iul i/>al rpa^rtna for thpir hopes of success with or without New York while the democrats must stake almost their last hope upon the one state, New York, now hopelessly divided Into warring factions, each with swords drawn to prevent the success of the other.

A pretty plaut for winter decoration is a healthy young mignonette, which, when properly clipped and pruned, assumes a vigorous, tree-like shape, and blooms freely all the winter. Another excellent choice for a flower lover whose space is limited is a handsome corol begonia. This plant, when allowed plenty of room, ha* a beauti ful shape, and blossoms the year through. Its foliage is almost perfect in color and form, and, if watered once a week with diluted ammonia water, the greens are unusually rich, and contrast finely with the dainty coral blossoms. Here is an English physician's receipe for healthy children: 'Plenty of milk, plenty of sleep, and plenty of flannel." The leaves in the pig pen help to fatten hogs by keeping them warm and dry, thus preventing loss of food by saving the warmth of the body.
