give themselves no more thought or un-

they will not lie awake nights about it.
That is a matter which l propose to let

OF MIR. Bristow's election, If nominated,
there would be no doubt, and this is un-
questionably the prevailing opinion among
the people. Hayes, in our opinion, would
stand next. The nomination of Conkling or
Blaine would be equivalent TO defeat. Nor
ton would run we'll in the west, but not in
the east. Neither of these three would
attract the doubtful vote, and this vote, IS
we have already said, Is essential to sue
cess, and success being the objective point,
republicans should run no risks. -Cinctn-
matt Gazette.
The fundamental element of Mr.. Bris-
tow's stl ength and popularity is the proof
that he has given of his determination, of
his courage and his ability to discover
wrong doing wherever it exists in the de
partment under his charge, and to punish
wrong doors, no matter what their personal
or political relations may be. In pursuing
this course hccretary Bristow has shown
himself to be what the country has in vain
demanded for many years-a practical,
civil service reformer.-Aco lorb Ere1-
ing Post.
The special correspondent Of the Cincin-
natl Commercial at Nashville writes; The
delegation OF that state to the Cincinnati
convention stands ten for Bristow to nine
| for Morton, three for Blaine and two non
| committal The Alabama and Kentucky
delegations are solid tor Brstow. There
are Bris;ow votes from South Carolina,
| Mississippi and Georgia, and he will have
more than half the vote of Missouri. lie
has votes from Nevada and California,
nearly half the vote from Michigan, and
half the Illinois vote may safely be counted
| for him.
| Gen. William f.. Bartlett says in letter
from Paris: 81 met q southern Kentuckian,
q few days ago, who began a conversation
which turned TO home politics and the

hopes that the next president may come

him sure. don't care what party nomin.

honest man with brains rs well as pluck.
And there are many other aoutherners OF

Your correspondent, "Western Reserve
is troubled because, according to him, the
highly educated men of the United Statei
prefer Mr.. Brstow for president. If
may be allowed to speak for the clas!
whom this correspondent attacks, woult
say that they have no doubt that Mr.. Blaine
Is most admirable engineer but as they
intend to 'break the machine" they don
care for an engineer. Nothing could b.
more clever than Mr.. Baine's management
of his candidacy; nothing more lhlew(
than the manner in which lie shakes thu
red rag in the face of confederate house
melting them to rush upon destruction
But so much clevcrncss, these gentlemen
think, is uncanny. A little conviction, {
grain of moral earnestness, would outweigh
much smartnees, in their estimation. Flo
them, acrobatiC performances have ceaseC
to draw. Where, they wonder, vas TIN
voice and influence OF the republican lead
, er Of the house during succession o
scandals such as never disgraced any pre-
vious administration ? Where is the eyi
dence that he will favor the radical chang
which they demand in the method of ap
! pointment and the tenure Of office The
| would have more respect for him if he rep
resented policy, instead of manipulatin
conventions. Mr.. Bristow, in their eyes
] does represent policy-civil service re
, form-the restoration of national honor. -
