own: but, at the same time, with serious co,,-
viction that there were Il good many Rcpublic-

has pcen, there is reason to believe, to confirm
the President in h;s previous views as to the
kind OF selections le ought to make. The Presi-
dent was strongly inclined to offer position to

CARL SCHURZ,
A most striking exenpli6cation Of the truth
Of the adagc that .'Timle ut last makes ali
things evcn,'' is likely to be afforded By tie
choice Of Carl Schurz for either the Interior or
the Post-Ouiee Department. 1t is only Eve
years ago that Schurz was thrust cut OF the Re
publican party with contumely for daring to diff
Ter with the arrogant Administration, and now
he is to be installed in tie very front rauk of its
leaders. The n,en who then assailed hin most
ychemently have either dropped out OF public
