Change Not a Single Thing.
From the Albany Journal

IT run Iue AIUttny journal
The country never had more salts
factory currency, the national credit
never stood SO high, business was never
more healthy, and labor never was in
more active demand or more satisfacto-
rily remunerated. The country is up.
not down, and instead of ga change
the people desire nothing SO much as to
have things remain just as they are.
1t is very poor time, therefore, to ex-
pect to accomplish anything by this cry
for g a change" for " a change" is just
what the people don't want. They
know the party and the policy under
which this satisfactory prosperity has
come to the country, and they know,
also, the party and policy which has ar
rayed itself against them. They viii
sustain the one and condemn the other,
and in doing so will elect Garfield and
reject Hancock, because the two men
represent the opposing policies of the
two parties. The time for a change"
is not when the people everywhere are
prosperous and happy.

Speculation as 10 who will be nomi-
mated at the Republican National Con-
vention, which meets at Chicago on
june End, less than two months from
date, is now rife. So far only two cali-
didates-Gmnt and Blaine-have devel-
. oped much strength, though many
shrewd politicians predict that neither
OF these gentlemen will be awarded the
prize, while others, among them Don
Cameron, OF Pennsylvania, express the
opinion that Grant will be nominated
on the first ballot. Eight States and
lone Territory namely, Pennsylvania,
New York, North Carolina, Vermont,
Maine, Rhode Island, Kansas, Texas
and Utah have elected delegates to the
convention. Of these, Pennsylvania,
with IS delegates, and New York, with
10 delegates, have instructed for Grant,
making l2s insured votes for the third
term candidate. Maine, with Ia votes ;
Rhode Island, with s votes Kansas,
with 10 votes, and Utah with two
votes, have elected Blaine delegates,
though they are not all instructed to
vote for that candidate. The sixteen
votes of Texas are said to be divided
between Grant and Blaine, and it is
probable that Iowa, with 20 votes, will
instruct for Blaine, The 20 delegates
from North Carolina are claimed for
Sherman, though it is said that several
OF them are avowed Grant men, and
Vermont has instructed it's 10 delegates
to vote for Edmunds. As far as elected
Grant has l2S and Blaine, SO pledged
delegates while ,Edmunds has 10 from
Vermont, and Sherman probably l6
from North Carolina.
There will be 756 delegates in the
convention, and as the majority rule
prevails in Republican National Con-
ventions, it will require 379 votes to
nominate Grant, who is ahead of all
competitors combined, lacks at least a
hundred votes of a majority, but 1T is
expected by his friends that be will
secure more than that number from the
States which have not yet chosen dele
gates. fsss
