TBECONVkNIION or THEFOUR GOVEREORS
In Europe the battle of the Three Emperors
will always be historically renowned. The
prize at stake was the tate of great nations,
the destiny of empires, the conquest OF
continent. Napoleon. Alexander and Francis
knew precisely what they were struggling for,
though they fought on the field OF AusterlItz
under another pretext. Battle was waged on
a small question. The large one was con-
cealed.
The Convention of the -Four Governors
shortly to assemble on the memorable field
of Worcester Is pre- eumptlvely IA strug-
gle for the Presidency, and, unlike
Austerlitz, the big issue Is put forward, and the
LITTLE one which controls is held back The
little one is the YIce-Presidency, and each of
tbe Four GovernOrs-Or "hs friends as the
modern and modest euphuism puts it--thnks
that if the Presidency can be safely bestowed
in the West, the VicePresidency must ineyi-
tably come to the East and may strike Mas
sachu,etts. At any rate, not one of the Four
Governors will bc caught without his little
dish right side up in case IT ShOad rain por-
ridge. Hence Grant is the watchword of the
Four Covernors--0r "thelr friends ANY
other Western President would do just as
well, but they are afraid that neither'Wash-
bune nOr Sherman stands on ice thick
enough and strong enough to resist the
impending thaw Aud n Western Plesi-

poised in patient waiting.
1t is curious to see how the -Four Governors,
or their friends feel secure, each for himself.

indispensable, because he alone can supply the
superfae element of Civil Service Reform,
which is so sOrely a "felt want" among the
natural supporters Of Grant Boutwell,, on
the other hand, is the perfect flower, the ab-
solute type of Granusmj served under Grant,
believes in him. advocates him, and is the
one man who has developed the Vice-Presi-
drntiai fever in Massachusetts, which more than
any National strait, makes Grant necessity.
