which will be read with even more in
terest than his former ones. He gives a
clear and logical analysis of the situation
and shows that with united New Eng
land delegation Mr.. Reed will be nomi-
mated hands down. OF course the New
England delegation will be unit for
Reed. New England has tried the plan
Of a divided delegation for many years,
and the result has been that she had very
little influence in nominating convcn-
tons; much less. certainly, than she is
entitled to by her commanding industrial,
commercial and financial position. The
experiment Of a divided house having
many times failed, New England at this
time will not commit the folly of repeat
ing 1t, especially as she has from her own
household a candidate who, by his ability
and power, overshadows all others a man
who although of New England yet be-
longs to the whole nation, and who is
recognized by the world as the leading
American statesman.
A feature of Mr.. Marseiles' advocacy
Of Mr.. Reed which is worth more than
passing comment is that he is actnatcd
by the most unselflsh motives, his only
desire being that the Republican party
should nominate their best and strongest
man. He selected Mr.. Reed because that
gentleman filled the bill, and the fact
that he is a New Englander was an en-
tirely secondary consideration. In fact,
IL was not considered at all, except as an
argument to make New England fer once
unite unanimously on candidate Mr.
Marseilles has no personal ambition to
subserve, but uses bis wide acquaintance
with public men and his experience and
skill In politics for his party and his
friends, His sobriquct, The Thurow
Weed of New Hampshire, has been well
earned, for he has always steadily refused
all political office, whether appointive or
elective, and he will continue to do so in
the future. He will ask for nothing,
accept nothing at the hands of President
Reed, but will support him, as he has
supported Others, from the highest sense
Of patriotism and duty.
All for Reed
Since Mr.. Marseilles' last letter was
written the New York state convention
has been held, and Mr.. Platt's position as
q leader demonstrated The friends of
MIR. Reed are nduging high expectations
from MIR. Platt's influence, for it is pretty

man is his second choice, though he will
exert all of his ability and influence for
the nomination of Governor Morton. who
is the unanimous choice of New York and
will receive the solid vote of its decga-
ton. Should Morton fail to carry the
convention, what more natural than that
New York should unite with New Eng
land for its greatest statesman with his
magnificent and faultless record? 1t is not
to be denied that Mr.. Reed is fortunate In

Monitor speaks truthfully when it states
that he has never accepted and never will
