Mo- Republican

Mo Republican
1t is little curious that there is
only one man IN the court,y spoken
OF i'll connection with the Republican
| nomination for the presidency, and
he doesent want it. "Therc IS a
drift of public opinion pointing to
Judge Edmunds, now president Of
the senate and second executive Of
ficer. as the next Republican candi-
date for the presidency" we are
told, and it Is added that 'sthe only
obstacle to the Edmunds boom will
be edmunds h,mself.''
This reminds us of the notable de-
cline IN value of the Republican
nomination s'nce 1880, when Chica-
go swarmed with bidders for IT
Grant, Blaine, Sherman, ConkIing,
Edmunds, Washburn, Allison. Gar
field and others. This was less
thsn three years ago-and now the
honor IS gong a begging. Nobody
wants it. All the old aspirants have
retired from the field, and no new
ones have come forward to take their
places. The explanation of the ex-
traordinary generosity with which
all other great men in the party waive
Their claims in favor of Senator Ed
munds is that the nomination will be
barren and worthless, and this is the
too, of the Vermont
senator's reluctance to receive it.
When thing has lost ITS value every
body is wiling that some one else
shall have it. So it comes about that
there is not a single candidate for the
nominations IN the field.
1t seems to he generally agreed IN
the party that Republicanism has
run its course, and the days when it
could elect its presidential nominees
are ever. 1t has worn a ghostly
Iosk ever SINCE last November.
