TIE PRESIDENTIAL SITUATION -
The prospects f the prominent Pres
ileu,ial candidates Is thus summed
up: The time for holding the ma
tioual convention is coming on very
fast. bIt as vet it is very uncertain
who will he the standard bearers.
Mr.. Blaine is probably themo,t pro.
miueut at this time for the ErpuJ.i~
can nomination. hut prominence may
cause his deient by concentrating
the strength Of the other ctuitit's
against him Mr. Bristow is next in
prominence before the public, and IN
n general way has much strength
Gov. Hayes il not an improblble
nominee, and has many elements OF
success Gov. Ilartrnnft i some-
thing Of the order Of Hayes, hut the
fact that bis election would give
Pennsylvania a Democratic Governor
will prejudice his prospects But
whoever the Republican nominee
may bc, the character Of the l"le
gates chosen and the general snnti'
ment Of the party through the cprn'
try, is pretty sure guaranty That
he will be . man eminent in chlrIr-
ter for integrity and political knowl-
edge.

FivE months gone, yet nothing
has been done by n Democratic

Investigations. IN the vain hope that

may be discovered that will add t.

that the printing and binding Of the
testimony taken before the Naval
Committee will cost at least SlOD,-
900. and will cover about 1000 pages
