Kentucky and Vermont.

The several State conventions,
which have elected delegates to the
national Republican convention, do
not seem to have brought the Pres.
idential question any nearer q s0lu.
ton than it was before their assem-.
bling. The matter stands now, as
it has done for weeks, with a divi-
sion of sentiment between Benja.
min Il. Bristow and James G. Blame,
with an apparent leaning toward
the former, and, perhaps, a POSSIBLE.
ity of All entirely new name. We
believe, as we have heretofore stat.
ed, that the people will he satisfied
with either name, but we think that
the better sentiment of the country
is for Benjamin e. Bristow, not on.
ly on account of his acknowledged
integrity, his sterling patriotism,
his faithful discharge of every trust
reposed in him, but, above this, be.
cause, possessing these several quail
ificdtions, be 10 not . politician and,
hence, will be beyond the reach of
political trickery and intrigue. In
a word, his nomination will be q
platform of itself aud will give prac-
teal assurance of honest money
and honest civil service.
Vermont can, if she will, aid in
making him President and at the
same time, do a good turn for her
self. There are patriotic reasons
enough why he should have the sup.
port Of this State, but let us sug.
gest a selfish consideration. We
have an eminent citizen who would
make an excellent Vice. President.
he represents, as we believe, the
advanced sentiments of the Repub.
lican party. He ia, as we all know,
able, Independent, fearless and, with
al, a thorough Republican. If Mr..
Blaine is nominated for President,
it is perfectly evident that the Vice.
President will not be taken from
New England or the East. If MIR.
Bristow is nominated, New England
or New York will, undoubtedly, fur
nish the Vice. President. The first
two States to be admitted into the
Union we're Kentucky and Vermont,
and, this centennial year, what bet.
ter ticket could he nominated and
elected than Benjamin 81. Bristow
and Luke P. Poland, Kentucky and
Vermont united as they were in
1871 and all through the days of
Henry Clayf We trust that Yer
mont's delegates to the national con-
vention will think of this and labor
for Bristow and Poland, for Ken
lucky and Vermont, for honest mon
ey, honest civil service, and consti-
tutional government.

1T is significant of the temper
of Vermont Republicans that the
resolutions adopted by the State con
yention are silent in reference to the
President. And this significance is
heightened by the fact that in a Sc
ries of resolutions, prepared by one
high in the confidence of the party,
was one "heartily commanding the
President, which was quietly ignor'
ed by the committee and not report.
ed to the convention.
