Gov. BAKER, in his Knightstown
speech, delivered on the last Fourth
Of July, took the position that the
question of suffrage was for the, Sta ties
to determine, it being, as we have said
above, the policy Of the party in all the
States. Whether the party in its
next National Convention will go
further, and insist on making the
question Of manhood suffrage a Ma
tional instead Of State issue, remains
to be determined. Its for the con-
servatiye element Of the partyto make
itself heard on this proposition.

made by a correspondent of the New

of the relative merits and fitness of
the distinguished members Of the

it would accomplish little good and

thank God and the railroad men, The Message states
what has been done toward carrying out the law Of Con

Governor until such time as a comprehensive

made with reference to the State question, OF the steps
already taken in the matter, and the opinion yentured
That to forego the attempt AT Statehood now after four
