who Gets the Republican Nominations.


The wlseSt policy for Republican leaders to pur-
sue with regard to the next Presidency Is that
which will enable the party To elect any candidate
who Ects the Republican nomination. and not to
uCmomlizo the party by insisting that any man Is

SENATOR BECK, Of Kentucky, is the ouly

THE Atlanta Constitution either comedies
the election Of Republican President in

Of Senator TnrDIAN by the Democrats.
This duplex deduction is arrived at by con-
5derng the fact that Democratic Presidents
do not come from Ohio, in connection with
the expressed hope by the Consultation, tha,
the Presidential liot-lIouse may be changed

THE decision of Judge SETTLE. Of Flor

in the absence Of Judge WOODS, in the case
of DENNIS, n citizen Of Massachusetts,,
against the County Of Alachua, in the for
mcr State, is worthy Of tho general public
attention it will receive all over the coun-
try The synopsis Of it which we print
elsewhere this morning shows very clearly
that Judge SETTLE is another ex-Conledc-
rate who, like LoNGsTREET, has abandoned
all idea of the constitutionaity of the kind
Of States Rights upon which the Lost
Cause rested for its protention to legality.
