THE NEWS has heretofore said little
about Presidential aspirants. We have
believed the South should remain pas
sive until the Northern Democracy make
their selection OF n candidate. The wis
dom Of leaving the selection TO them was
manifest In 1875. The wisdom of seat
Ing him when we had elected him was
not 80 well manifested. There can be no
doubt the result has largely disgusted
the Southern Democracy, yet they will
In due time wheel into line and repeat
the service Of 1875. 1t matters not
whether they name Thurman or Hen
dricks, or Randall or Field, or Tilden,
they shall have the Solid South, II they
have the pluck to count It and keep it,
As for Judge Field he has strength on
the Pacific that may be needed, but we
doubt the policy of taking from the Su-
preme Bench the only material we care
10 keep there. We should rather prefer
10 watch our opportunity to I'LL the APP
preaching vacancies on that bench with
men like unto him.

nee, and 1t looks IN though he will be,

Methodist divines. DR. Hurst has been
prominent in the councils of Methodism
for many years. He is 4 travelled and
thoroughly cultivated man, besides be-
ing an earnest and untiring worker, AT
present lie is President of the Drew
Theological Seminary, N. Y. Erastus
o. Haven, another of the bishops, is a
native Of New England, having been
born in Boston in 1920. He has been
largely engaged in educational work and
edited Zion's Herald for seven years.
He has written several books and is a
man of varied learning and superior at
tainments. Cyrus David Foss, the
third bishop was born at Kingston, n.
Y. in 1884, and like Bishop Haven has
spent the greater portion of his now the
president of the Wesleyan University.
Henry w. Warren, n native of Massa-
chusetts, is popular minister Of Phila-
delphia and a man Of great energy Of
character and varied talents. He Is
said to be pronounced in his political
views. In the latter respect he resem-
bles the late Bishop Gilbert Haven, but
he is thought to be more moderate and
conservative man, and will hardly re-
vivc the policy Of bitter recriminaton
which marked the intercourse Of Bish-
op Haven with the people of the South.
In this connection II Is matter of con-
graduation that Gen. Grants friend,
"Parson" Newman, who was one of the
leading candidates, was deserted. His
election would have been Il serious mis-
fortune for his church as well rs for the
country at large, as it would have been
an Endorsement of clerical intermedling
with politics in it, most offensive form.
We are glad to see that wiser counsels
prevailed and that the conference re-
stricted its choice to men whose conserv-
atism no less than their abilities can
scarcely fail to rebound to the honor and
profit of the church.
