Al uintsryisws" ITO which Mr.. Henry
Wilson has been subjected Of late by an
entsrpising metropolitan press, the con-
ysrsafion turns upon q quito novel topic,
viz: The succession to General Grant.
Tn. Vice President il made to speak in
the most fiattering terms OF Mr.. Blaine,
and in the same breath to intimate a
pretty clear conviction that the coming
man Is not Mr.. Blaine, but q Mr.. Elihu
b. washburne, Of Paris and Galsna..
Whether tho Vice President actually
unbosomsd himself to this extent, for
the benefit OF the young gentleman with
the notebook, We can't say. II doesn't
much matter. The interview might very
well have occurred, II II didn't. The
language put In the Vice Presidents
mouth sounds exactly like him. II hs
hasn't said all this. he has undoubtedly
thought II. For Henry Wilson has been
in politics q good many years, and has
cultivated his political sense Few
kesnsr eyes than his for discerning the
signs OF the times, few more practicsd
and sensitive fingers upon the popular
pulse, few Judgments that are oftener
verified by the events. It didn't need q
New York reporter to tell US that Henry
Wilson knows q strong candidate whom
he soes him. ~rr.0 eglC9r-r.
For that matter. IL did not require
Henry Wilson to tell Us that a candidate
Of that sort is at present hiding his time
in Paris. Mr.. washburns's strong
points lie on the surface /; they could
not well escape the notice OF a man OF
much less political experience and So
gacity tkan the Vice President. Mr..
washburns is q Republican He Is
Western man. lie made Q valuable rep
utation In Congress ~ . "watch-dog Of
the Treasury" He has made a very
successful Minister. He has been out
Of politics for some years past, while
still remaining In the public oyo. He
has thus escaped responsibility for party
plumbers, aud kept well aloOf from party
unpleasantncss. Blaine would rather 1t
should be washburns than Morton;
Morton, o. q matter OF feeling, would
rather il should be Washburne than
Blaine. II past friendship and mu-
tual good offices count for any
thing. It 10 a pretty safe assumption
that Grant would rather 1t should be
washburns than either Of them. In
deed, there is a prevalent opinion in the
outer political circles that II Washburne
does not prove to be the man. 1t will not
be for lack OF any assistance that II par.
tial and grateful administration cap afford
him, Add, that he takes hay.sesd in
his politics, and well thought Of in con-
sequence by the ~grsgarieus granger.
Add. finally, that he m offs 'lucky'
family, Of which he Is, perhaps, the
luckiest member.
There Is No telling what the next two
years have in store for US. But, on
general principles, 1t is a good deal
easier to flank o nomination for the
Presidency than to take 1t by storm, or
to surround 1t and starvs II out. Indeed.
the only thing better than . wsll-exe-
cutsd flank movement is a surprise.

ACCORDING to the New York Tribune.
Judge Poland was not the only politician
who was violently shaken up BY the re-
cent election in Vermont. As the result
is examined more carefully ii is apparent

new men, q great many Of whom are
young. and scarcely none Of whom are
in any way connected with the dirtier
sort Of political practices. They are men
who are opposed to undue influence
and jobs OF all kinds. Indeed. so indie
pendent and uncertain are they in their
political tendencies that the friends OF
Senator Edmunds are said to be anxious
lest they shall take it into their heads to
shslvs him as they have Poland. and put
in his place that most deserving Of men

thinks they couldn't do q wiser thing.
and says: Mr.. Willard has in him the
