EpecuIatinx on the Presidency :.


= the main issue in the campaign, the
Republicans should assist in elpcting
Samuel j. Randall, Speaker Of the
House of Representatives. and also place
him on their ticket as a candidate for
the Vice. Presidency. 1t assume, nat
as the tariff is the only questiD & ut
which the Democrats cannota4~' and
as the Randall wing Of that party
which claims To be the party in fact is
in entire agreement with the Republic
cans, there is nothing more than mere
seltishnesS and greed for office that
keep the Republicans and Randall
Democrats apart. The Herald argues
further in defence Of its proposition by
xaying that the Republicans cannot
without help earn the next Presidential
election and that they can get no more
powerful assistance than Mr.. Randall
can give them 1t is futile il thinks
tor the Republicans to expect to carry
NV II Aiatto ~ ~ i'f'ih' ~ i''
election so long as a Democratic success
is probable. Not only in the South is
this true says the Herald but in the
North there are abundant signs every
where showing that the hopeful pros
pect Of Democratic success next year
is drawing all the discurlant elements
together for II united effort; hence ii is
only by a well managed coalition OF Re
publican, with ITotectiOnl>t Demo
Gratis that Republican success can be
assured in 1854. The confident predic-
tion of Mr.. Blaine that Mr.. Randall
will be the LtNt Speaker of the House
is referred to AS substantiating the
views of he Herald.
lu view Of all the facts in the case,
the Horahl says that the only true and
the only wise policy !or The Rrpubll-
Cans is to help elect Mr. i;andall
Speaker: TO strengthem his hand III
every way aIaIIsi lis ltmoCratic cp.
pUncnts and a. al evidence to the kan-
dali lueu north and Suulh Of the SINGER
ity OF their alliance, 10 give Mr.. Ran
dali the Vice Presidents place on the
Republican ticket. With his help they
may, the Herald say, confidently eX-
p"ct to carry frnnSS ,N;dlIt, North Car
ohna, LunlsiaLa, Virginia, Tennessee
and probably Arkansao--ail States
which would probably hr against them.
We are rather disposed to look upon
the Hcrald'~ proposition rs a huge joke,
and yet morr un'ikrti"r things have
harprned than MI KanGall becoming
