A STATE AND Irs CANDIDATE.

II has come TO be pretty wellssttled prin-
ciple Of politics that a presidential candidate
must 60 before national convention with
substantially solid and earnest delegation
from his own State. This is the starting
point of national movement and sine qua
non of success. There is good reason for this
view. Whether candidates State DO large
or small. he ought to be better known, better
appreciated and stronger there than anywhere
else. The Endorsement and support Of his
own State ought to be more gratifying to
him personally, and more valuable politically,
than that of any other State. A man may
have national or sectional reputation. but it
must radiate from certain point, and If he is
the right kind of a man. and has the elements
Of enduring strength, he ought to be stronger
there than anywhere else. On this line the
New York Press, referring to General Harri-
sons Endorsement in this State, says: ga man
who has not tho honesty, the brains and the
tact to command harmonious Endorsement at
home for an Office which any community
would be proud to have come to 1t through
any worthy son. is not likely to possess the
qualifications Of either successful party
leader or wise administrator Of public affairs
on a large scale. The same qualities of breadth
Of statesmanship, and Of knowledge of, and
power to influence men, are required for sue
cess in the smaller sphere as in the large" 1t
is the general prevalence Of this feeling that
gives universal recognition to the Importance
Of a candidate having his State behind him,
