The Strength or n Nsw England Man
from the Springfield Republican,

| l'i"hl tHo
The New York 7fmes's political cores
pendent has reached Wisconsin and finds
the State divided between Arthur, Edmunds
and Gov. Fairchld. The last named is one
OF the able, clean and strong men of the
West, who left an arm in the rebellion and
ought to be in Camerons seat in the United
States Senate. lie is hardly Presidential
timber, but would make good Cabinet Sec.
rotary. Senator Sawyer has been counted
somewhat for Arthur but "Phlete" was
raised in Vermont aud Is for Edmuuds.
There is more OF less Blaine talk, principally
from ltishmen and others who want to see
him sass England or Sass Bismarck"
There is much desire for Edmunds aud one
man is quoted as talking in this way
"Edmunds and Fairchild, Edmund, and
Lincoln, and Edmunds and Gresham are
good tickets. The West will not object to
the selection of man from the small aud
sure state of Vermont if he can carry New
York and Ohio" "But some politicians say
that no enthusiasm can be aroused in the
campaign with Edmunds at the head of the
ticket?' "The day for a hip-hip-hurrah
campaign is gone by" was the reply. 1.-THE
the man whom the people trust and respect
because OF his integrity and ability as states
man. There are now hundreds of thousands
CT men who care less fot party tico than they
do for the character Of candidate his
associations and his record. These men
vote fearlessly and independently. You
have great many Of them in New York.
we must nominate man who will be salts.
factory to them. Edmunds is such man.
Show us that New York wants him and we
will vote for him"
The fact that Edmunds is from Kew Eng
land is thus no disadvantage. New England
has rare opportunity. to present candidate
characteristic and worthy Of her in Edmunds
and an opportunity which may not return for
century. The Adamses were the only
presidents ever chosen from New England,
and the last OF them was chosen by the
House OF Representatives. Mr.. Webster
saw lis presidential prospects fade before
the demands of availability and his own fail
ure to rise to the highest leadership. Mr..
Blaine was never much of New England man
and could never be presented without cover
and apology. In public policy, in administra-
ton and IN the character of the measures
with which he has been identified, he has
never been New England man.
MIR. Edmunds, on the contrary. is thor
oughly New England man, a native of YER
mont who by his natural talent aud his indie
tatigable service in the Senate of the United
States, has made it matter of small mo-
ment as TO what constituency stands behind
him. His strength lies In the fact that DIS a
national man, incorruptible, able and fearless,
he can carry New York, when New York
man might be in doubt In his cwn State BE
can carry Onio when nobody else could but
possibly an Ohio man, and the country is a
trlde weary OF Ohio. The ''pious little man
on rock" in short occupies Just the fucrum
to give him the greatest leverage in the cem-
paign and this situation may not happen
again for so me generations.
