Is there any Chance for Edmundsi
Mr.. Edmunds is the peer of any
statesman in the country Worcester
Mass Gazette.
Although Senator Edmunds Of Yer
mont is as yet a "dark horse" in the
Presidential race, he is not so "dark"
as was Governor Hayes before he was
nominated in lS76.-HdUerhal( Mass
Gazette.
The election of Senator Edmunds
would be a death blow to subsidies,
corruption and jobs during his admin
istration, and mercinary politicians
would be forced to occupy back seats.
-'PERLEY" in Boston Journal.
Now let the opposition TO Grant and
Blaine unite on Edmunds, and, while
the Grant crowd and the Blaine squad
are explaining away certain spots on
the record, take hold and show that
they appreciate a man who has kept
his public and private life spotless and
pure.-Greeryfeld (Mdss) Gazette.
The Springfield Republican is writ
ing up Senator Edmunds as a presi-
dental candidate in glorious shape.
1t could not have selected better ma
terial. Why is it not possible to have
our ablest public man in the presiden-
tial chair9 AS Horace Greeley would
say, were he alive, Men and brethren,
why not?-BoSton Transcript.
The high regard in which Mr.. Ed
munds is held by the people of his
State is fully deserved by his long
career in public life. He is one of
the wisest and truest of the Republi-
can leaders who have played for many
years conspicuous parts upon the
broad stage of our Nations politics.
Neao York Tribune.
Edmunds is one of the few public
men who would be numbered among
the statesmen of the country by all
intelligent observers of affairs without
regard to party differences. There is
no worthy Republican principle which
has not found a consistent exponent
in Senator Edmunds.-Neto York
EUeaing Post.
Senator Edmunds is a man of dis
tinguished ability, a Republican in
whom there is no guile, and one, who,
if nominated, could rally all elements
of the party to his support. Why not
nominate Mr.. Edmunds or some other
man whom every Republican confess
es that every man in the party will
support p Indianapolis Journal.
1t is not unreasonable to suppose
that the nomination of Senator Ed
munds of Vermont, as the Republican
candidate for president, would unite
the party and secure the great bulk of
independent votes against any candi-
date the Democrats are likely to NOM
mate. Mr.. Washburn, as candidate,
would also secure the same result
Boston Herald.
Senator Edmunds would be a strong
candidate II placed at the head OF
party ticket, would unite the party
and would probably poll larger vote
than any of the candidates yet named.
If elected he would be the presi-
dent of the whole country and not of
a mere party, and his administration
would be characterized by the same
purity and cleanliness which has So
distinguished that of President Hayes
-PrOUidepce Press.
If Mr.. Edmunds should be accepted
at Chicago, there is no doubt that he
in turn would represent the Republi-
can party at It's best. There is per-
haps no ADLER man in the Senate. He
is one of the few public men who
would be numbered among the states
men of the country by all intelligent
observers of affairs without regard to
party differences. There is no wor-
thy Republican principle which has
not found consistent exponent in
Senator Edmunds.-NeaU York EVen-
ing Mail.
