VICE PRESIDENT.

The attention of the people has
been so much occupied with the nom
nation of president that very little
has been thought or said about the
vice-president. The question, how
ever, is by no means unimportant.
The president presides over the
senate of the United States, and, by
the constitution, succeeds to the Office
of president, sin case of the removal
of the president from office, or of his
death, resignation, or inability to dis
charge the powers and duties of the
said office" Four vice-presidents
have, by the death of the president
during the term of his office, become
presidents and three of them were
conspicuous failures. 1t is a grave
mistake to assume that almost any
man will answer for vice-president.
No one should be nominated for the
office without record and qualifica-
tons that clearly indicate his fitness
to discharge the duties of president
in the event that he should be called
to the service. The only name prom
inently mentioned as the republican
nominee for the vice-presidency. is
Secretary Lincoln; and we shoulo
heartily say amen to his nomination
We understand, however, that he
emphatically declares that he woult
not accept the nomination. BE thi:

The Methodist General Confer
ence had tussle with the perennial
woman question, Saturday. The de-
bate arose over the report of the COM
mittee on itineracy against licensing
the fairer sex to preach. There was
quite q lively debate, in the course
of which the Rev. DR.. Ives offered
a resolution 10 the effect that there is
'growing demand for a defined
policy in the church as to licensing
and ordaining women to preach and
administer the sacraments, the con-
ference is not prepared to sanction
the ordalning of women, but APP
proves licensing them to eXhort and
preach under the authority of the
quarterly conference, as is the case
of other eXhorters and local preach
ers. The boundary question which
has disturbed the Methodists of Yer
mont during the past few years is at
last settled in favor of the Burling-
ton district which has been retroced-
ed to the Troy conference by vote
of SO to. s in the General Conference
now in Philadelphia.

Henry Cabot Lodge and Theodore
Roosevelt have, it is understood, had
one or two informal conferences with
some of Mr.. Edmund's friends. The
senator himself has not given them
any great encouragement, for he has
frankly said that he does not now see
how it is possible for his friends to
succeed. Mr.. Roosevelt, however,
seems to be of the opinion that Mr..
Edmund's nomination is not only a
possibility but extremely probable.
The fact that the strength of Blaine
has been very greatly overestimated,
which Blaine's friends now admit in
private, and that it seems very I'M
likely that Arthur's friends can get
votes enough for him, make it, in Mr..
Roosevelt's opinion, quite likely that
Mr.. Edmunds may get ultimately
most of the votes that will be cast
on the first and second ballots for
Arthur. There is now little doubt
that Arthur himself would be glad to
see Edmunds nominated if his own
nomination is impossible.

If, however, the best interests and

men, the Hawley men, the Gresham
men and nearly half of the Logan
delegates would support him in pref
erence to Mr.. Blaine. If, however,
it appears when the convention meets
that the President and Mr.. Blaine
have about 325 votes each, which
they can hold for a time, the nomin-
alton of some man like Postmaster
General Gresham, Secretary Lincoln
OF even General Hawley is more than
probable. Such a nomination will
give satisfaction to larger number
of Republican voters than would that
of either of the prominent candidates.

Washington correspondents, gen
tlemen who usually have a pretty
clear knowledge of what is transpir-
ing in the field of politics, say there
are indications that an attempt will
be made at the Chicago convention
to form a combination against the
leading candidates. The politicians
are troubled because President Ar
thurs support comes mainly from
democratic states and are opposed to
other leading candidates for reasons
which they keep to themselves. The
combinations are said to be in the
interest of Harrison and Gresham.
