who can be counted upon as having .

The national convention is not four

and still silence reigns supreme
with reference 10 the matter OF
presidential preferences. Take Kan
sas &c an example. Who can name
the choice Of our state for PresidentG
In 1880 there was . strong contest
throughout the state, long time pFi-
or to the convention, ,as to whether our
delegates should be instructed 10 vote
for Blaine or for Grant. The Blaine
element was successful. Not a syi-

dates mentioned, say Arthur, Logan,
Lincoln, John Sherman Gen. Sherman
and Edmunds, would Kansas prefer
No doubt, II Gen Sherman was right
square on the track, our Kansas Peo-
pie might easily agree upon him.
With the old soldiers Logan might also
be popular. But thus far there has
been no elamOrOus demand on the
part Of Kansas for any particular can
didate. And with the same Peo-
pie. all the candidates have about an
seven chance" II would seem now,
from indications all over the country,
that there will be 4 very scattering
vote on the first few ballots at the
National Convention, and that the
next President presented by that con-
vention is about as liable Ia be John
Doe as Richard Roe.
