reader 10 asSSrr.. Re Judgment of the head
OF the party on any point than they are now
on this supremely important one of the can
didate. Having moved on this line the Pres
ident will no doubt fight it out without
change, and the friends of opposing candi-
dates, if any obstinately hold out, will find
that he is man who only conceives of men
as for him and against him. He waged the
war on that view, and he will make candi-
date on it; and opposition within the party
VIII find its little pleasant places looking
like the Shenandoah Valley cleared of those
who supported the enemy. From this loca-
ton of the candidacy in an Eastern State it
will doubtless follow that the Vice President
must be named from the West, and the
claims that have been so well urged on be-
half of Governor Hayes, of Ohio, may be
gracefully recognized by that Office.

At length, after prolonged litigation in
the courts, the controversy between Mr..
Douglas Taylor, the former Commissioner of
Jurors, and Mr. Thomas Dunlap, the present
incumbent of the Office, rs to which is en-
titled to the position, has been definitely
settled by the Court of Appeals. The latter
tribunal, to which the case was carried on
appeal, has just rendered its decision in
favor Of Mr. Dunlap. The Court holds that
the act of 1878 vested the power of the up
pointment Of the Commissioner of Jurors in
the Mayor and Common Council; that this
made it distinctly a city Office, whatever may
have been its previous character. and that,
Notwithstanding the anomalous relation ex-
listing between the city and the county of
New York, there is no incongrui.y in COM
hitting to the city government and to off,
GERS appointed by the city authorities con-
troll Of the subject of selecting and returning
jurors within the territory Of the city and
county. Viewing this subject outside of it's
legal aspects and result, Mr. Taylor ought
not to complain very much. He can well
afford to step down and out, and particularly
as the salary has been greatly reduced from
what it was during most of the time he held
the Office. /.

The Republican Candidate for Vice
President.

President
With the strong likelihood that now exists
of the nomination of Senator Conkling for
the first place on the Cincinnati ticket the
selection for Vice President becomes ques-
ton of interest and is brought within the
range of calculation. Until the first place is
awarded the second remains in doubt, be-
cause the ticket must have geographical
balance. II one is given to the East the
other will probably go to the West, and rice
rersd. 1t is, therefore, impossible to specu-
late intelligently in relation to the Vice Pres
idential candidate without making the loca-
ton Of the Presidential candidate the start
ing point of the discussion. Assuming that
Mr. Conkling will be nominated for the
higher Office there is no difficulty in form
ing q judgment rs to who is the strongest
republican to run with him. 1t should be a
Western man, of course and of all Western
men Governor Hayes is the one who would
contribute most to the success of the ticket.
The two grand key positions of the campaign
are New York and Ohio. If the republicans
can carry both of these States their triumph
is assured. For winning one Of these piv-
otal States Senator Conkling is the strongest
possible candidate, and Governor Hayes is
ming the other. Governor Hayes would carry
Ohio with just as much certainty running
for the Vice Presidency as he would if run
ming for the Presidency but, on the other
hand, he would have nothing like Mr. Conk-
ling's chances for carrying New York if he
was assigned the first place on the ticket.
Joined together Conkling and Hayes would
assist either, like the two blades of pair of
shears, and between them they would clip
the garments of the rag baby into very small
shreds. 1t will be more difficult task for
the republicans to carry New York than
Ohio, Ohio being at present republican and
New York democratic State. The Empire
State is, in fact, the grand hinge on
which the Presidential election is to turn,
and if the republicans are wise they will
subordinate oil minor considerations to sue
cess in New York. To achieve this Senator
Conkling is the man but even he can rescue
New York from the democrats only by a
strenuous effort which will be greatly aided
by splendid preliminary victory in Ohio
in the October State election. Governor
Hayes, running for the Vice Presidency,
would insure them such victory, and, by
the ordinary effect of earlier upon later
elections, the republican ship could be
foated over the bar in New York by the
buoying force Of Senator Conkling, who
knows the State SO we'll, and who is the
strongest and most popular man in the
country with the New York republicans. A
ticket inscribed ''Conkling and Hayes" is
the trump card of the republicans for this
Presidential game.

THE UNITED STATES REFoRx ASSOCIATION
is the title of new organization devoted to
political reform, and asserting that it is zone
of the most powerful in numerical strength"
in the country. 1t claims to have nearly
thirty thousand members in New York, over
twenty thousand in Pennsylvania and Massa-
chusetts respectively, seventeen thousand in
New Jersey and eleven thousand in Connec-
ticut, and besides this to have an effective or
ganization in twcnty-one States, with six
hundred and fifty-one branches. The names
OF the leaders ore unknown to the political
public and appear to represent the working
men of the country. The association nomi-
mates no Presidential ticket but afirms that
it will act rs unit in the canvass, and will
throw its vote in favor of the best man. If
it be true, as the circular declares, that the
members "belong to the classes which gain
their livelihood by the labor of their own
hands," this society ought to have some de-
cided influence on the Presidential canvass
But we must wait to see the development Of
its policy. Tho name of the workingmen
has been often taken in vain. and we wish 10
see whether the United States Reform Asso-
citation is really in earnest or whether it il
simply one Of tho usual tools of our clever
politicians.

THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION. news
from Mexico is vague, because it is not news
enough. We hear from Havana that the
rebellion is extending and that President
Lerdo is preparing to leave the capital. A
change of government in that Republic now
would undoubtedly complicate the relations
Of Mexico to the United States. But If q
government is not strong enough to main
tain itself that is a misfortune which we cam
not help. Much as we desire peace an
intermeddling policy with Mexico's affairs
would be national error. Certainly we

bacco was brought to England in 1860.
