THE PREsIDENTIAL LIST.
New York Sun.


The names Of the gentlemen from
whom the respective parties viii be
pretty sure to select their candidates
for President next year are not many.
Here Is a catalogue:
Republicans. Democrats.
B. H. BristoW, 4. A. Hendricks,
o. P. Morton, A @. Thurman,
i. B. Washburne, W. Allen,
E j.. Morgan, 7. F. Bayard,
H. Wilson. i. S. Black
y. G. Blaine. :. j. Tiiden.
Each Of these lists seems complete
as the case stands at present 1t Is
possible, but not probable, that new
men may come up In the course Of
next fall and winter. For instance, if
Gen. Hayes should be elected Governor
of Ohio by a rousing majority, he
would take a place In the Republican
list; but if he should be beaten, his
chance Of reaching such distinction
would be extinguished forever. Most
likely some one of these twelve gentle
men viii be the next President, and we
are bound to say that it is possible to
find a good one In either list.

AEAI0E PROPHET,

The Cairo BULLETIN is exceedingly In
dignant that the Chicago Tribune should
speak Of the Representative in Congress
from the Lower Egyptian District as
"Hartwsll," instead OF "Hartssii," his
real name. AS Mr.. Hartzell Is not likely
to be heard OF after the close OF his pres.
ent term, no permanent injury is likely
to be done 70 his fame by the Tribune's
blunder.-Springfeid Journal.
The Journal Is mistaken. 1t is moi
only likely, but il Is certain, that Mr..
Hartzell will be heard from after his pres.
ent term. 1t Is already foregOne con-
clusion that his party will rc-nominate
him for Congress, and it is also a fore
gone conclusion that the people of this
district will re-elect him.
