his strength in the party that the republi-
cans succeeded in carrying the state elec-
ton in March. In Massachusetts, 1t shows
itself in the formation of Bristow clubs,
and in the selection of such delegates TO
Cincinnati as Dana, Forbes, Uhadbourne,
Bullock, Sanford, Pierce and others. In
Connecticut, two of the delegates will vote
for Mr.. Bristow on the first ballot, as will
the entire delegation on subsequent bal
lot, IL one be needed. We see 1t in New
York, where the new "Reform club" of

most intelligent republicans, although some
of its officers are delegates from New York

We DO not fl4tter ourself that our advo
cacy of Mr.. Bristow has had anything t
do with ths noticeable change in pu5li
sentiment, even in Vermont, save as W,
have been able to give substantial, valit
reasons for our course We have repeated

such as have commended themselves to tn
Judgment OF the honest thinking masses o
the state Briefly summarized, they ma,
be stated about as follows His persona
honesty is unquestioncd and unquestion
able. His official integrity is unassallable
His ability and efficiency are conceded
He il not an office seeker, but has becom
prominent candidate for the presidenc
without any agency of his own. He be
lieves in administrative reform, and ha
proved his faith by his works. He is tn
advocate of honesty and efficiency in tn
public service, economy in the public e1
pcnditgres, the honest payment of the ms
TONS obligations, speedy return to speci
payment, and equal lights TO all-and Ii
more for governmental reform, honest
and economy than any other man of til
present generation.
For these and similar reasons we hav
urged his nomination. For these and sim
lar reasons the people propose to place hr
in higher sphere of duty, and their dc
mand for his promotion increases, daily, i
force and intensity, ard is making i.sel
felt, even, by politicians. Although, b
their natural instincts, opposed to the car
ddacy of Mr.. Bristow, yet their desire {
be on the winning side is stronger tina
their instincts, and they are fastening t
range themselves with the people. Wit
them success is of more worth than princi
pie, and they see that the ''doubtful vote
will decide the contest, and that thi
doubtful votc"--whether it is controlle
by hard money views or in the interest @
reform-will, as the New York Time
sayu, "be controlled entirely by the charac
''ter of the candidates. And how thi
vote will be affected by the nomination o
one of those mentioned in connection witt
the republican candidacy is thus stated b.
the Times Mortons nomination would re
pei it Conkling would attract it Blain
would not affect it; Hayes, although de
serving it, might not secure it Washburl
wouldn't get it while Brstow " woul,
make sure of it, and excite enthusiasm
p" besides" The politicians understand
this, and are not going to risk the doubt
ful vote. After show of resistance, the,
will, as we believe, gracefully yield to tn,
inevitable, and be found earnestly support
ing Dir. Bristow. From present view O.
the situation we look for the nomination O
Benjamin II. Bristow at Cincinnati with
hearty, enthusiastic and substantial unan
