It Is worthy Of remark that within a

/. Mr.. Blaine's friends say he will not
take u second place on the national
ticket. Very well, then we propose
Postmaster General Jewell for the sec
ond place. He Is a good Republican
and u good man. Morton from the
West and Jewell from the East would
make a strong team. We ought to have
an Eastern man for Vice President. IN

Bristow and Washburne first in order,
then Morton, then Blaine. That Is
, about the way the theorists in politics
are interpreting the present Republican
situation. But the theorists do not
always understand practical politics.
They imagine Bristow's whisky raid
: good for votes-as 1t would be Mt the
, polls, but Is not in the District and
State conventions that are to choose the
delegates. Then they fancy Washburne
strong because OF Grants favor which
he doesn't have because Of his popu-
larity With the Germans-w which the
German newspapers from New York to
st. Louis pronounce myth; and be-
cause Of his absence from the country
which certainly has not strengthened
him with the politicians WaShington
