y WASHINGTON, January THE President
talks freely Of the approaching Ohio cam

voritism among = candidates, real and
imaginary. That is, he does not wish to
appear to obtrudei his own wishes and
opinions about a natterwhich concernsso

success of the Republican ticket, and

wide range Of material to select from. In
this connection the President speaks very
highly Of Garfield as aman OF great ability
and information, who would, no doubt,
conduct the canvass with great success.
But this isaaSmattef for the Nominating
Convention, gand the President, like al
other good Republican citizens Of the
Buckeye State, proposes to be satisfied
with the choice Of that Convention. The
President believes that the Democrats will
attempt toget Judge Thurman TO make the
race on the Democratic ticket. Indeed, tits
notorious that the leadersare now laboring
with their great leader to get him to step
down, 50 to speak, and take hand. The
President and everybody else comedies
Thurman's ability, and it's generally
thought among Republicans here that
should his'scruples be overcome and he
be forced by party pressure to take the
nomination, that the Republicans would
then have to trot out their best man-thal
