The Presidency as a Reward. -.

Those who still cling 10 the prospect
of making Mr.. Blaine the next Repab-
lican candidate will feel their hearts
sink finally at the announcement that
Senator Stanford is ia the field. a
personal TREND" ccOrdiug to a de-
spatch published in this city, .'eviden:ly
by authority" gives this information
TO the public. MI Stanford Gill come
To the Convention, we are assured. with
all the delegations from the Pacific
slope IN his pocket or at least derived
from his p0cket-and il he does not get
the nomination himself will be in a
position To name the nominee. 1t was
hoped that Mr.. Blaine would at least
have some influence IN the selection
made by the Convention. but it appears
that he IS to be deprived even of this
solace.
The Republican party would present
such truly beautiful appearance dur
ing the coming campaign with Leland
Stanford at the head CT its ticket that
the picture takes strong hold on the
Imagination. And next to this arrange
ment In interest would be the Republi-
can party with the man at its head that
was personally and publicly selected by
Stanford.
II cannot be denied that il wouId he
consistent thing for Senator Stanford
to demand the Presidency at the hands
OF the people. He has shown how the
Government has been plundered by him
into prosperity, ard how. against their
own Ignorance, he has b,ibed the au.
thorities into wise policies. He has
asserted that ta5 nafinn owes him a
deb: OF gratitude that it aever can re-
pay. despite lie iact that he has gener.
Uusiy prevented the sense of obligation;
from becoming painful ty helping him
SELF to all the public money he could
lay hIs hands on.
We are afraid that his calling his
railroad account square and the men
ton o: his name for the Presidency are
a.! one piece OF transp aren't and monu-
meuta! bluff.-N Y. World.

a STARTER in the direction of woman
suffrage. as the bill provided for their
voting at municipal elections only, met
peaceful death in the lower branch of
the New York Legislature on last
Tuesday night. The short haired ad-
vocates OF ''women's rights" which
means not only the right to vote, but
also to bold office. didn't know that
their bill would come up that night,
and with the exception of nine pretty
grille and two wives of Assemblymen,
only one OF the eleven being in favor of
the bill, there were no women present
IN the House TO look after the interests
OF their sex. It required only a minute
or two to seal its fate. The sub-com-
mittee Of the Judiciary handed in a
brief obituary of the measure and be-
fore its friends knew it the bill was
dead, the adverse report of the commit
tee being agreed to without roll call.

pointment to Office. put the acts of the
present AMI past administrations in this
matter in correct way. Senator
Blair had argued that General Grant
and Mr.. Clevelan nd had appointed Con-
federates to office. Said Mr.. Edmupds .
That General Grant appointed men VITO
had been Confederates. and that this admin
istration does it. and all that, has no bearing
upou the question at all. General Grant
did not appoint those men because they had
been Confederates. He appointed them be-
cause they were useful and honorable and
patriotic citizens of the United States when
he appointed them and SO the present ad-
ministration appoints people who were In

they were in that, not because thew have a
right TO De rewarded for il now. either BY
