REPUBLICANS CHOICE.
How Prominent Wisconsin Republic
cans View the Coming Contest.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 16.-The Sentinel
will tomorrow publish sixty letters from
prominent Republicans in Wisconsin, and
twenty local interviews, on the question of
their choice for president and vice president.
Gen. Fairchild is named as first choice, but
his nomination is not considered probable.
The Edmunds sentiment is equal to that for
Arthur or Blaine. There seems to be a
growing tendency to name Robert Lincoln
for first place, and widely spread feeling
favorable to General Sherman. More Logan
sentiment is manifested than generally sup
posed to exist. there evidently
having been industrious work in
his behalf among the soldier organ
izations. For vice president Lincoln is the
unanimous choice, except with those who
desire to see his name at the head of the
ticket. Candidates stood in the following
favor: Edmunds was first choice of II, sec
ond choice of 10; Arthur, first choice of 10,
second choice of 10; Blaine was first choice
of II, second choice of g; General Sherman,
first choice of Ascend choice of 5; Lincoln,
first choice of 4, second choice of z. The
others mentioned are Logan, Conkling,
Grant, Hawley and Senator Sherman. In
the Fourth congressional district, including
Milwaukee, II are for Edmunds, for Ar
thur, and ! for Blaine.

THE DIPLOU4TTC SERKJcE.

The department of state has introduced
bill in congress which has for its object an
improvement in the consular service. The
main change which the bill offers is that all
the positions shall be salaried ones, and that
the fees appertaining to the service shall be
turned over to the United States. There is
bare hint in the bill to the effect that the ser
vice needs lettering, i'll this, that there should
be a higher rate of clerical hire allowed
whereby better class OF young Americans
may be attracted to fill the places, and who
may thereby grow up with a knowledge of
the service. Nothing is said in the bill about
III abolition ofthe system which names a
man for place abroad not with reference to
his fitness for the place, but solely with refer
ence to what he may have done for the party.
For years, with scarcely an exception, the
appointments abroad have been composed of
politicians, with the result that our diplomat
ic service is the very worst among civilized
nations.
AS matter of fact our diplomatic depart
ment might be reduced to one-third its pres
ent dimensions, and providing little care
were exercised in appointments, it would be
vastly more respectable and useful than it is
at the present time. There is absolutely
nothing whatever to be done by our foreign
ministers save to receive a large salary, to
attend state dinners, and to act as figure
heads in the diplomatic niche in which they
are located. When Frelinghuysen wishes to
address note to the English minister of
state he sends the matter TO Lowell and di-
reefs him to lay its contents before the Eng
fish official. This duty of acting as a species
Of postman is in no sense an essential one
and could in all ordinary cases be carried on
precisely as well without the aid of an inter
mediate There is pretence regarding this
important foreign service, that we are show
ing respect to the various courts to which
our representatives, are assigned, but it would
seem as if there might be some other way of
testifying this respect than by an expendi-
ture of ST., 500 per annum for each court. 1t
is at least certain, that until we can com
mand some diplomats, instead of politicians,
to fill the positions, we are not showing any
respect, either to ourselves or the nations
among whom we establish first class mis-
sions.
