IRON the NuNistuHk standard.
The campaign in thi, state, which com
plcted it, first and decisive stage with tn.
late state convention, has confirmed the AN.
dcrstanding Of two years ago and cleared
the political atmosphere Of the feeling that
a nomination for Lieutenant governor car
RTE, with it IA claim to the guberuatorial
nomination at the next biennial convention.
Because there had been no authoritative
declaration on the subject, fears were en-
tertained down u a comparatively late day
that the promise made in Mr. Fullcr's be-
half was not ~ be kept, but the deep seat
ed and universal determination 10 take
new departure was such a. to discourage
any attempt to continue the practice Of
several preceding campaigns if any one
had a desire to do 50. 1t Is now firmly es
tablished that the law Of succession must
find no foothold in our system-that the
fact Of holding one office shall not be an
advantage in seeking another Office Aspi-
rants must enter the field on their merits,
the wholesome rule in all cases, aud abide
the results Of the canvass. This is great
gain for good methods and pure politics
and may well be contemplated with salts
faction. In our state, where the ascenden-
cy Of one party is 50 overwhelming, polit-
zeal management is liable to drop into ruts.
or into the hands Of the comparatively few
active partisans who drum up recruits for
the caucuses and faithfully attend all the
