" Presidential Timber"


The Washington correspondent of the
Houstod (Texas) Post, writing from this city
under date of tho eleventh, under the head
ing Presidential Tim ber," has the following
concerning the attitude of some Texas re-
publicans in reference to Gen. Logan g presi-
Dental candidacy and his status in that
state
As an example, there were Ave Texas republi-
cans here last week, the party including Judge
Buckley, chairman of the state central commit
tee; J. g. Tracy, who was chairman of the state
committee when the republicans won their first
and last victory in Texas in 1869; ex-Colector
Patton, william A, Sayler, mayor Of Austin, and
Postmaster Pells OF Palestine. Every one of these
was for Logan, and they said Logan would get an
unbroken delegation from their state.
Insofar as the above applies to me, it is
without authority and destitute of truth. |
have never given expression, publicly or
privately, to the sentiments attributed to me
by the correspondent, and / haye good reason
to know that Judge Binkley and the other
gentlemen named have never made the
assurance that Logan would get an unbroken
delegation from their state" 1t would be
arrogant and assumptive in the extreme for
any four or five republicans to pretend to
speak for more than hundred thousand
voters certainly would not be one of them.
1t was not deemed necessary to notice this
canard here until attention was called to the
fact that it had been copied by the New York
Tribune and other northern journals. Al
though without foundation if allowed to pass
without contradiction IL might be regarded
as the truth. Therefore | respectfully re-
quest the publication of this disclaimer in
The REPUBLICAN. Truly yours,

tion that the Post cup 60 TO tho four-oared

A Voice from New York.
M he Ls,yiIn1


| have seen stated in various papcrs the
alleged relative strength Of different republi-
can candidates for the presidency in the state
OF New York, and have also seen it stated
that Mr.. Arthur could not carry the state.
Now, sir, although not protesting to be q poll
tician, nor one who can weigh probabilities
to the ounce In presidential calculations, and
not being committed in any manner to the
interests of any ono of the distinguished gen
tlemeu who arc named for that position,
am firmly of tho conviction that if any re-
publican can carry the electoral vote of Now
York, Mr.. Arthur can and will if nominate ted.
Nor is this q new born inspiration or revela-
tion, but q conviction of many months stand
ing, and is the result of tho general express
sions of satisfaction l have heard of tho
judicious course taken in the many complCa-
tions that have surrounded President Arthur
only too well known to the party of which he
is the head. Mingling as / have done with
oil classes of business men and Of the different
political parties, | simply know and challenge
contradiction to the statement that the ad.
ministration of President Arthur has received
more general commendation and less of un-
favorable criticism from them than any other
administration in many years.
There has been general feeling of conf
dence in the conservative course pursued by
the President ever since his inauguration |;
and believe the business men of oil parties
would breathe more freely were they to
know that the same steady hand was to be
kept at the helm four years more. And,
looking back to the terrible time when he
took his position, and the order which has
been brought out of the chaos, we may not
wonder that the people of all Glasses have
learned to prize the present executive
/ would not be understood as advancing
the opinion that Mr.. Arthur Is the only re-
publican who could carry the state or that he
would be the best man to nominate. Very
many considerations must como in, and any
one of q half dozen named would satisfy me !;
but am sure that Chester A. Arthur to-day
would find as many responsive yeas" in the
hearts of the people of all parties in the state
of New York as any man that could be named
