The contest for the Republican nomi-
nation for President at Cincinnati Is
gradually narrowing down to a struggle
between Blaine and Bristow. Conkling.
although . man Of sterling integrity and
great ability. il hardly thought Of outsids
Of his own State Of New York. Indeed
although his record In the Senate has
bssn . brilliant one, his reputation had
in no senss Of the word become nation
a. until his friends in the empire state
suggested him ~ . candidate for the
nomination; aud the time has long since
passed when New York by her mere die
tum could control national conventions.
Il 10 possible. indeed, that some man -
yet unnamed and unknown may step in
to carry away the prize. But so far as
human foresight can penetrate. tho bat
tie al Cincinnati will be virtually be-
tween James G. Blaine. Of Maine. and
BENJAMIN Ii. Bristow Of Kentucky.
Both are good men. Both stand be-
fore the country win puohe anu P'''s'e
records unstained. 30 Tar a. character
IL concerned there Is no choice between
them. Either would make an honest,
patriotic. incorruptible President. and
under the rule Of either. the country

consists in tho fact that the principles OF

IL has always been a tradition In our
politics that tho claims OF sections
should be respected. New England GER
tainly has a just claim to be recognized
In this centennial year. Our rulers can
not always come from the Border States.
No doubt this will be taken into account
by the convention, and will have great
weight In its decision.
