Show TBS INCONSISTENCY.. While presidential nominations are not made by rings, cliques or newspapers, news-papers, but in national conventions called for that purpose, It is yet noteworthy note-worthy that the democratic press is busily engaged in unearthing dark conspiracies entered into to defeat the renomination of President Harrison. The latest plot thu discovered is disclosed dis-closed in the New York World with all the dramatic eclat that sensational sheet is capable of lending it. There is Quay and there is Dudley, and there is a consignment of other arch conspirators conspi-rators who pass restless days and sleepless sleep-less nights in the desperate design to kill off the president. Strange isn't it? We don't caro to enter into a discussion discus-sion of the World's latest sensation; but isn't it curious that tho Bourbon papers which have o long tried to persuade themselves that Mr. Harrison is tho weakest candidate ou earth, find him suddenly so powerful that nothing short of a conspiracy can remove him from tho list of available? Of course, tho nomination is still a year and a half off, and it is useless and unprofitable to anticipate its action so far ahead, but as a sample of democratic consistency this is rather characteristic. |
