THE SITU4TION.

Every card played must De trump.
THE sIrUATIoM.
Governor Foster of Ohio, has come out
squarely for the nomination of Arthur by
the Republicans next year. In Fosters
opinion Arthur is the strongest man in the
Republican party. An interview took
place at Columbus day or two ago with
Foster, and the following is the salient part
of the conversation:
''Then you think Arthur Will be the Repub.i-
can canaidate!''
think: Why, there's no doubt about it.
He's the biggest man in the Republican party
to-day. If we can't elect Arthur, there's no
use trying to elect anybody. Be nominated!
Just you wait and see. He's sure to be nomin-
ated.''
Gov. Foster, however, has an ambition to
see tbs ticket read Arthur and Foster. His
political losses during the past two years
have been very great and he hoped to re-
pair them by getting on to the national
ticket of his party. 1t is
possible that this may be the compost
ton of the ii cket, and it will be if Foster
can bring it about. An Ohio stalwart
telling about the matter the other day
said:
| Foster wants to hang on to the Arthur boom
and.get:towed In. He's going to try to work Ohio
up for Arthur, and wants to make dicker by
which in return for that he will get the nemina-
| ton for vice president. You see we have to
carry both Ohio and New York next year. We've
| got to do it. What bet er ticket then than Ar
thur of New York and Foster of Ohio? That's
| the way Foster argues, and that is why he is
| just now sweet on Foster.
"Will Foster succeed?'
''Oh like not. Fosters smart and if he wants
| to come into the stalwart campI don't know
that we can do better than to take him in. He
can help us. Yes, l guess the ticket next year
| will be Arthur and Foster.o
To the majority of the Ohio Republicans
such combination will be an unsavory
dish of crow, but if the machine decides
on such programme they will have to
swallowit. The Cleveland, (Ohio) Plain
Lealer evidently is of the opinion that the
Republicans will undertake to unite the
factions of New York and Ohio in the
! selection of candidates, as may be under
stood from the following vigorous notice
to the Democracy to take heed of what
is going on, and prepare to act according
! ly. We quote:
Ohio win be the battle ground next year. 1t
Is going to be no ordinary contest. The Re
publican party IS going to stake its very ex-
istence the issue in this state and fight for its
| life. Let the Democrats of Ohio prepare for
the conflict, Previous political battles in this
state have bsen the merest skirmishes compared
| with the contest OF next year. 1t well to IN
derstand this now and get ready. Organize the
party every where. Strengthen every weak
pint. Call the ablest leaders to the 'front.'
A strong thing for the Democrats to do
in any case will be to choose as their lead
ers and standard bearers the two greatest
among the great men of the nation,
and make the national Democratic
ticket Iilden and Hendricks. That ticket
would command the respect and confidence
of the entire country in degree that no
Republican combination could overcome.
1t would arouse the fever of enthusiasm
and patriotism in manner that this
country has not witnessed in twenty
years. It would increase the fractional
divisions of the Republican party, when
some other nomination might &C.
neat them. 1t would assure the people
that all their commercial and industrial
interests would come into the very safest
hands to which they could be confded.
The Chicago Tribune and other Republi-
can papers claim that the Republicans
will carry New York next year, but admit
that without New York and Ohio they can.
not elect a President. The Tribune
has compiled table of the
electoral vote, claiming POI Republican
votes, including Ohio and New York, the
exact number required to elect. That
paper asserts that it is the merest moon
shine to assert that the Republicans will
not carry both Ohio and New York, well
knowing that it is doubtful if they carry
either, and fully assured that as against
Mr.. Tilden no Republican living can
carry the latter state. In Ohio Judge
hoadly has just measured lances with
Governor Foster and the Governor was
Vanquished. The result placed Ohio in
the Democratic column for next year and
If ''the old ticket" is the battle cry the ma
Jority will simply be enormous.
Arthur Is already pronounced candi-
! date, and about the only one the Republi-
cans have. Foster has more than fight
ing chance for the second place. To fight
the devil with fire is the highest wisdom,
as well as the necessity of the crisis. The
government must be wrested from the
hands of the spoilsmen who control it.
The people must Turn the Rascals out, and
the Republican party must go.
The nomination of riIdea and Hen
bricks will put honest men at the head of
the government and relieve the countrv of
the burdensome eRornities which sfflict it
under Republican rule. They are states
men and patriots, not mere ward polisi-
clans whose capabilities are limited to
playing push pin with low, tricky poll
tics" Arthur and Foster may be nomina-
ted. They cannot be, and will not be
elected.
