The Outlook Political.


prize of the nomination must soon be held
by some one of each Of the respective par
ties.
Who is the coming man? is the question
of the day Conmingling with the masses
we think that we can reflect, to a certain eX-
tent, public opinion.
1t is conceded that the Republicans have /
in the canvass four emincntly well qualis sd I
gentlcinen either of whom would administer
lis important trust faithfully, conscientitiS- /
ly and we'll There is no palpablc reason
why either Mr.. Lchtenstein or DIR. Wales |
should not receive the undivided support of
the Republican party. But unfortunately
for both of these gentlemen each were
brought forth as the respective exponents of
specific tactional elements. Whatever may
be The relative strength of these conflicting
elements will he manifested by these eandi-
dates upon the day of the nomination. This
much however is known that the intestinal
party teuds are of such u character that each
faction is intent upon either ruling or seeing
the party, PROSTATE, fall.
Many very many, who would gladly give
their influence to either Dir. Wales or Mr.

success Of their party at the election. Thus

Of either Faction, and having at heart thc
perpetuity Of Republican principles are de-
termined to support either Mr.. Vincent or
Col. Macallister. These gentlemen now he-
come the uncertain and unknown factors III
the present contest. Both have decided l"'-
lowing. Shall it be Mr. Vincent, or shall it he
col Macalister. Col. Macallister is an
allie Attorney and would dignity and
adorn the office of Mayor Mr.. Vincent

is a scholar with broad expansive views an'
he has been honored with a seat in the Con

Mr.. Vincent las IL deep hold upon til
affections and sympathies OF our people an
we consider his nomination as among th
probabilities.
