LEADER WANTED
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-A very prominent
Republican is reported as saying: 'If the
Republican party had leader it might re-
gard itself as certain of victory in 1880.
But it should be leader who would lead
who would march forward instead of back
ward The notion that Grant is the best
man for the party is absurd. His nomina-
tion would signify to the country simply
that the party does not mean to move for
ward-that it has nothing to Offer Grant
would be an old candidate with dead issues
A leader is wanted in harmony with the
times. There is an opportunity without q
man. If Hayes to-day is not the most pop
ular man in the country it is because he is
hampered by hostile party magnates. He
has not been able tv give full effect to his
intentions with which he began.
ION the old platform Grant is stronger
than Conkling, Blaine, Sherman, Wash
burne or anybody else. Hence no one
heeds the rumors that have been circulat-
ing that New York and Maine Senators have
Withdrawn from the contest But with a
new policy, such as it ought to present
adequate to the wants and situation of the
country, Grant is impossible, and the man
who placed himself at the head of this new
policy would naturally be nominated"
