The Mas axis two very important ques-
tons: 1t, Who will be the Republican
candidate for the PRESIDENCY! and I'd, When
will tine House orgaBize7 These questions
are to be ak and answered In asking
them. the Nsurs has taken much the lighter
part of the job Very well we feel strong
enough 20 take the other. From all thu
l gifts before us, we are inclined to think that
the man ShO Is nominated by the Repubh-
cans to succeed JAMS BUCHANAN as a tenant
of the White House will be the candidate oil
that party for the Presidency This Is not
merely our Individual opinion, but II wouid
seem 10 be the eonvic;iOn OF every intelligent
mind that has thought seriously about the

as old lumber for fire-woOd, We can't see
much chance for trade But then, he al
ready holds mortgage on the party tn at
least ten times its value under the most ia
vorabIe state Of things and il Is not likely
that he will care to invest anything further
in piece of perishable property OF which
he now holds the rever>ion.
