CANDIDATES
Then There Were Five
</hdr><body>
<p> Virginia Governor Douglas Wilder went home to Richmond last
week to deliver the most surprising speech of his four-month
presidential campaign. In his State of the Commonwealth
address, he stunned legislators by announcing the end of his
quest for the Democratic nomination. Wilder took a page from New
York Governor Mario Cuomo's book, saying he had chosen to
devote himself to "guiding Virginia through these difficult
times...as my pledge and responsibilities demand."
</p>
<p> As Virginians grew restive at the Governor's absences,
WILDER FOR RESIDENT signs began appearing throughout the state.
In the end, his presidential bid failed to ignite much interest
among voters or contributors. Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton has
lined up endorsements from Mississippi Congressman Mike Espy and
other black Democrats that should help him dominate Dixie's
primaries in March. Iowa Senator Tom Harkin might also pick up
black support among civil rights activists who find his
liberalism more congenial than Clinton's centrist approach.
