We will copy in the Sunday TIMES an

THE BEST MAN.

The really prominent candidates
for the Republican nomination for
the Presidency can be numbered on
the fingers of one hand. There are
a score or more Of names that have
been proposed; but the list of those
seriously considered does not exceed
five. Out O. this list the candidate
will probably be selected.
ANY one of these five would ably
and worthily fill the presidential
chair; indeed, we could easily name
a score of men who would honor
the party and satisfy the country in
that position. This is a fact that
speaks well for the republican party.
1t has given the country almost all
the great leaders of the past quarter
of century, and it still produces
the soundest statesmen, the ablest
jurists, and the most capable rulers.
The difficulty is not in finding a
republican worthy OF wearing the
presidential hoEors; but in selecting
from an ample list the one who can
most surely win those honors.
There are many questions besides
those OF ability, character and opin-
ion entering into the selection of a
suitable candidate. Does he belong
to a large and important State !
Could he make any doubtful States
sure? Is there anght in his whole
record which would create enemies
or lukewarm friends for him in the
canvass ? Is he in particular favor
with the business men Is he likely
to draw the laboring classes? Is he
popular with the colored people
Is he Objectionable to any of the re-
ligious denominations? All these
are questions which go to make up
that very important qualification
called availability"
We shall not undertake to decide
which are available and which un.
available. That, the best sentiment
of the republican party is at this
moment trying to do. In little
more than two months this process.
will have been completed and then
the selection will be made. The
preliminary canvass has been slowly
narrowing the circle of probability
so that it now only includes about
five names. Of course, it is quite
among the possibilities that the
choice may, at the last moment, as
in 1876, fall upon some one not now
in the public mind; but we are
speaking simply Of probabilities. The
FIVE names most prominent III the

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

As one after another of our State
campaigns come around they cast
their shadows before in the forms of
prophets and scerS. An immense
crowd of wise men, each sweating
with anxiety to unfold his peculiar
knowledge and prescience of the
political events soon to follow, looms
up in the foreground. Even now,
the canvass begins to move and the
pictures of several candidates have
been exhibited to the people, aud
they have nearly all faded as they
came. Like lottery, each journal
usually selects one among the prob
able candidates, and is sometimes
Joined in it by others. If such can
didate happens to be selected by the
convention the columns of his sup
porter or supporters are filled with
claims that he or they shaped and
directed the policy of the whole
State. These "too previous" pro-
ceedings usually ergender discus
sion, sometimes amounting to bit
terneSs; so that when the convention
assemblies the people at large have
no opportunity TO express their real
preference, but are driven by these
artificially created and sometimes
unnatural and dangerous currents to

SENATOR MORRILL'S SPEECH.

Vermont's veteran Senator, only a
few months the junior of Gladstone,
brings to the consideration of public
questions a vigor of mind which is
equaled by few men in the prime of
life on either side of the Atlantic.
His speech of Wednesday on the
inconsistent and unpatriotic free
trade message of the President ex-
hibited the fruits of long familiar
ity with national affairs, and was
admirable for its force and clearness
of expression. Mr.. Morrill, has been
indentifi I'd with the whole history
of protection in this country since
the Republican party entered into
power at the opening of the war.

part in securing for his country the
marvellous development which he
described. After this dignifed and
earnest defense of American indus
