1t is now generally considered by those
who are on the inside that Senator Logan
has abandoned all hope of Presidential
nomination, and is arranging his plans to
direct his strength where it will do the
most good. Not only he but all other can
didates are strongly opposed to any COM
bination with Arthur. This may not be
the personal feeling of the leaders, but If
is decidedly the expression OF the follow
ers and working politicians. a large ma
jority of the most influential adherents Of
the anti-Arthur candidates look upon a
change in the administration as the first
consideration. This, of course, is not in a
spirit of disloyalty, but in the way OF
friendly rivalry within the ranks of the
party. Therefore, the Arthur people are
not expected to cut much of a figure in
any coalition, as all the trades are being
made with the present administration left
out.
There is one point, however, which as
sumes grave Importance at the forthcom-
ing convention, made possible IN part by
the new system OF district representation,
and that is the large number of delegates
who are known TO hold not only decidedly
Independent views in reference to the
eligibility OF the various Presidential can
didates, but who are largely untrammeled
by instructions. This independent vote
in the convention will number not less
! than 226, aud is likely to be swayed by the
enthusiasm of the moment,
