STANFORD AND THE PRESIDENCY.

Our Washington correspondents tele-
gram in Tuesdays issue concerning Sen
ator STANFORD and the Republican nomina-
ton to the Presidency will be interesting
TO all readers and doubly so to the Republi-
can leaders. If The HERALD were to desig-
nate Republican it would like to see in
the White House, the choice would prob
ably fall upon the California Senator. He
is a broad-gauge man in every respect,
more of statesman than politician, and
In no respects a demagogue. He is an
American through and through, man
with heart and with keen sense of right
In his composition. Furthermore he is a
western man. He made his millions in the
west, and there he is expanding
them for the good of the people
among whom he has passed the best
years Of noble life. Being clear-headed
md not entirely subordinate to party
dictation, he would be more Independent in
the executive Office than others of his party
have been. He would be guided in his
policy by what he esteemed right rather
than by what might be regarded as most
advantageous to his party.
that it would be little less than a national
disaster to elect Senator STAMFORD Presi-
dent on platform built on the proposition
that government should loan money to
the farmers on mortgages. 1t is not
doubted that for a little while the scheme
would be popular among the grangers. Thou
sands of them would turn borrower, and
all would regard STANFORD as the greatest
benefactor in the land. But the rule OF
''come easy go easy'' would prevail, and in
time the poor borrowers would find them
selves in more deplorable predicament
than If they were in the hands of the
banks or mortgage companies who would
hold them to strict observance of interest
day.
But the great objection to the Senator.
philanthropic scheme is the fact that it i:
opposed to the financial theory of the gov
eminent. The theory of the government j.
that no more money shall be taken from tn,
people than may be required for the ma
tional expenses; the collection of more il
an abuse of power. If the government ha'
money to loan or to hoard, it has exercised
its authority improperly.
THE HERALD is an admirer of Senate
STANFORD, and appreciates the great worl
that he has done for his state and the west
but we are sorry that he has presente
this ugly proposition, and will be NOR
sorry if he shall go before the country o.
it as candidate for the Presidency. /
would be an unhappy termination of
praiseworthy career.
