leaves little doubt OF Republican sue

all that no man who is Republican

and all that is necessary to make their

Much interest Is felt in the solec. |
tion OF new Secretary of State. The
PRESIDENT, who is now considering the |
matter, fully realizes the importance |
OF selecting man big enough for the
position, and he will make no mis-.
take. There is no foundation for the
various rumors OF the position having
been rendered to Mr.. Depew and 9th,

place.
Senator Quay is authority for the
statement that the men who opposed
the President IN the National Con.
ventlon will all be found taking ac.
tive parts IN working for the election
of the ticket, just the same as If thew

sort of talk. 1t is no more nor no

TO expect OF every other Republican.
While every man naturally has his
personal preferences it is the party
and its great principles that have
made the United States the greatest
and most prosperous of all countries,
that all patriotic Republicans place

men. Men die, but the principles Of
the Republican party will live as long
as Americans love liberty and appre-
ciate prosperity.
