The Vice Presidency.


To the Editor Of The Tribune: 80.
The question as to who shall be the Candidate
for the next Presidency being well settled Dy ',l'
unanimous consent of all those who so zeaiousiy
engaged in the political contest of lS4o, IN sup
port of those great principles with when ''io
Wing party Of the nation then trlumpheu "''0
the great Statesman OF Kentucky, HENRY VA .
being universally admitted to be the man '-i0, '
deserving than any other in the country no' 0'n

,nnst he necessarily called to 'he Importance
ofmaking ajudcious selection Tor the wee rresi-
49, In determining upon a Candidate for this
ofice it seems to my mind the Wings OF the
Irn;on oupht to-and | have no doubt wlll--be
Governed by liberal feeling of reciprocity, and
be disposed, not only to give the nomination to
Pennsylvania, but also to nominate Candidate
who will be acceptable to and bring with him
that large body of the patriotic citizens of that
| State, who have fought under the banner Of ex-
elusive Anti Masonry.
| The Anti -Masons Of the Union pressed their
favorite, Gen. Harrison, upon the National Con-
vention of 1889, and having secured his nomlna-
ton, very properly left the Vice Presidency to be
| filled by an exclusive Wing selection. This was
right, Just, and liberal. They said that the nomi-
nation and election Of General Harrison would
"make straight the way" for "the Farmer
of Ashland''-and so it did, Now with the re-
suit of that election before US, and its admitted
effect for SO much good in support of MIR. Clay,
with his nomination conceded on all sides TO his
Whip friends, is it asking too mach for the Anti
Masons to request the Wings Of the Union, to
give them a Candidate, if not Immediately from
| their .vn ranks at least acceptable to them L
think not and my knowledge of the patriotism,
self.sacrfcing spirit of the Wing party, gives me
the assurance that the desire Of the Anti M asons
to have the members of the Wing party recipro-
cate the feeling OF 1910, will be acceded to, par
ticularly when it is known that the man of their
choice, and also of large majority OF the Wing
citizens of the interior Of Pennsylvania, Is Hon.
HAEMAg DENNY of Pittsburg. In his nomination
there is the sure earnest of firm union OF all
the Anti Masonic forces OF the State III support o.
the nemnees Of the Convention.
Mr. Denny has much to recommend him.
Possessed of much personal popularity, of superior
sh;l;t;ns of GREAT legislative experience, obtained
bv lone service in the House Of Representatives
of the United States, sound political economist,
of much decision of character, pure IN principle
and devoted in his love of country, protesting and
pledged to all the great principles so ably sup
ported by the great Statesman of the West
| upon whom. more worthy than he, can the noml-
nation for the second office in the RepHblic fall
That his claims personally, and those of bis
friends, the Anti-Masons of Pennsylvania, will
not be wholly disregardcd by those who will come
together in May next, TO act for the good of the
whole and for the common success, IS iondly
hoped by lRUE WING.
n The above reaches us from highly re-
spectabe and influential quarter, and is deserving
Of eminent consideration, not only for the con-
sideratons it presents. but on account OF the
character and worth Of HAR,IAR DENNY, who is
all our correspondent represents him. We not
perceive, however, that any of the considerations,
except that Of aPennsylvana location, apply with
| greater force to Mr.. Denny than to MlLLAKD FL
MORE, while the fact that we have to combat all
Van Burens personal strength in New York
while our friends in Pennsylvania are to have the
benefit of his great unpopuarity there, ought to
be weighed The attempt to elect Vice Prcsl-
dent from Pennsylvania has been made not less,
certainly than four times and never with sue
cess while New-York candidate has succeed
ed three out of the four times it has been attempt
ed This is not accidental or fortutous; 1t flows
from the party diversties and local or personal
jealousies in which Pennsylvania abounds, and
which alone prevented her having representa-
tive in Gen. Harrison's Cabinet. We find even
in our correspondents letter the distinction OF
Wings and Anti -Masons which has every where
else become obsolete; and we know that both
JOHN SERGEANT and T. Nj. T. McKENNAN are
warmly pressed for Vice President in that State.
AS to the vote of Pennsylvania this Fall, we
have not doubt of it. Apart from Van Burens
obvious unpopularity there, the Loco-Focos IN
Congress are preparing to put the Tariff question
in such shape that she cannot refuse to vote for
MIR. Clay without committing suicide. She
will sustain him by thousands Ed. Tribune.
