ABOUT THE yEIT PRESIDg,CY.

Everybody Is busy Misunderstanding

might as well be counted out. His re-
cent raids on the whiskey ring haze
given him prominence, but whiskey is
not The only element in a Presidential
canvass. Besidca Grant and Attorney
Gen. Picrrepont have been active in
this business and hare just as faithfully
discharged their trusts. Bri.,ow is a

made great deal Of friction in official
circles; he has incurred tho dislike of

tho lime has coise when q man must be
chosen who will allow no inpcrtiuent
liberties from unreconstructea rebels
Bristow is not tho man 10 step into the
White House. The prominent issue o.
the next campaign will be tho policy
toward the South. Mr.. Blaine has placed
himself squarely and uncquivocally be.
fore the people on the issue Over which
the fight must be made. He will go in
to the National Convention with great
strength. Bat Senator Morton has a
backing that cannot be ignored. There
are IN the background men like Logan,
Wheeler of New York, Hayes OF Ohio, /
Hantrantt of Pennsylvania, and FreIing-
huysen OF New Jersey, from among
whom it is quite as likely the candidate
may be chosen. Hayes has s,rsng
support, headed BY Senator Sherman.
According TO precedent, if tho Presi-
Dental candidate is chosen from the
East,tho West will be represented in the
second place on the ticket. The CORES.
pondcnt says:
Should The nomination be conceded

The "est-i mean those States beyond

We havc received tho Fourth Annual
Report of The State Boaii Of .Agrcul
ture to the Legislature, for the year
ending November 80, 1873, including q
complete census Of the State. Ii is a
far more valuable book than any pre-.
viouS one which ha- been issued BIZ the
Board, and undoubtedly no Beard OF
Agriculture in any State has produced a
bettor ono. We thought the report OF
1874 was pretty near perfect, but "lS15'
strikes many notchcs higher. That
Alfred Gray, the secretary of the Board,
is tho man above all others for the posi-.
ton he occupies, is proven conclusively
by this very book. 1t Was under his
that all lis valuable infor-
nation WAS coliatcd. And the printing
and binding OF the book, done by tho
State Printer, is Just as good rs could
be done anywhere in these United

any library, and will not be stuck away
in the back room among tho dusty and
:ob-wcbbed Patent Office Rcporls-the
