The Chicago Tribune has completed a poll of democratic newspapers in many states of the east and middle west on their choice for presidential plurality over any other candidate. Mr. Bryan gets a good many votes and Governor Marshall shows strong in Indiana. In the east there is a much smaller showing of Gaynor sentiment than might be looked for. In the event of Governor Harmon's defeat for re-election this fall Governor Marshall stands next in line for the place of favorite. By the time the next, democratic national convention meets a good many things may happen. The question of candidates is not immediate and a pool of this sort is In no sense conclusive. —Fort Wayne Sentinel. FOR RENT —A good house on North Ninth street. Enquire of Mrs. Peter Gaffer.
