| will know, he glad TO learn that Colonel John
llay has come out Of the retirement of his CIeve-
land home to take part in the Republican canvass.
Few men are as well equipped As Colonel Hay for
successful political career. His intimate association
with Abraham Lincoln as private secretary and
personal friend identified him with the great achieve
ments of tho gar'y of freedom and nationality,
and gave him, while quito young, thorough knowl-
edge Of the larger affairs of government. HIS life
abroad in diplomatic capacities made him familiar
with multitude of social and economic questions
which are becoming of increasing importance IN
this country. His work in journalism gave him a
firm grasp on all the facts and arguments of our
current politics and widencd the &C Iuaintance
| with public men gained IN the White House. Lit
erary genus does not count for much in the rough
| work of pariisan campaigning but the author of
"Castlian Days" and pike County Ballads
could hardly say a dull thing if lac tried. and am
not surprised hear that his speeches sparkle with
good points have not been fortunate as To hear

his efforts to ward and township meetings in hs
own County-but all Cleveland talks Of his success,
and predicts for him in the future field of action
as wide a. he may wish. am telling nothing that
will be news here when say that great numbers OF
| Republicans III the XNth District are looking to
! him as the man of all others 10 run for Congress
next year. If they succeed in carrying out the wish
| they freely express they will secure n prize
that does not often come out of the lottery of nom
| mating conventons-a representative free from all
connection with clques with 10 old political debts
! to pay off, and with talents and fitness for the
position that will enable HIM to do credit to his
constituents. Colonel Hays health, which for
time was not good. was greatly benefited by his
recent trip abroad, and he has been able since his
return to make such progress with his Life of
Lincoln that the publication OF at least a portion
of the work may be expected next Spring
