WHO WILL BE MOMINATEDs
Every body is inquiring Of his neighbors, who
will be the nominee of the Republican Conyen-
ton, which, while we are uniting, is organizing
at Chicago. OF course, different persons give
various responses to the question. Each indi-
vidual occupies particular stand point, and the
political horizon presents to him, to some extent
peculiar aspect. He makes his own determi-
nation from the view presented to his own mind,
and concludes that this or that statesman, is the
''coxNG MAN" and must be universally received
q the proper candidate. Some persons deem it
especially important that what they style an
available candidate" should be nominated
They think that it is necessary that the opinions
Of certain classes Of the community should be
regarded with delicate tenderness, and that the
nominee should, to certain extent, represent q
sentiment to be found only among q small divi-
sion Of the opposition, or in limited section Of
the country
Others think that such special opinions, and
territorial interests should be entirely disregard
ed. They are in favor Of nominating o some-
what ultra republican,-one who, perhaps, in
some Of his policy, would be inclined to 20
little in advance Of the feeling of the larger
portion Of the party. They talk of "represen.
tative man,"-of one whose life, opinions, and
policy are universally known to be intensely re-
publican. Such one, they are in favor of nom-
mating, and because they think such one in
reality stronger than any.
Each Of these classes of men adduce numerous
reasons, and sound ones too, in support Of their
apparently opposite conclusions As is usual, in
such cases, to a certain extent, both are right
and both are also wrong For instance, it may
easily be admitted that Mr. Bates would be
very strong candidate in Missouri, in Kentucky.
In Maryland, Delaware, and IN certain sections
OF Illinois. Indiana, Ohio and PENNSYLVANIA. 1t
may be also admitted that Judge Mclean would
be very popular candidate in New Jersey.
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, or in parts Of
these States. Judge Dayton would be strong in
New jersey, Mr.. Cameron in Pennsylvania. Mr..
Chase or Mr.. Wade in Ohio, Mr.. Banks in Mas
sachusetts, Mr.. Fcssenden in Maine, Mr.. Lincoln
In Illinois, and other gentlemen, probably. in
other localities. All these statements may be
admitted to be true, and the reasonings founded
upon them may all be legitimate and correct, and
yet the conclusion to which they lead be practi-
cally wrong. The error il not in the fact 20
