Says the Selma Times:
 "The Montgomery Advertiser is now at tempting to credit Col.

It is strange that the Advertiser would admit that these recalcitrant senators, who. ac- cording to it's way of thinking, have dond so much to break up the democratic par ty, should have so much influence at Washington as to have Colonel Mckee appointed to so important post AS for us, we are glad that Governor Bob" got the appointment, no matter who recom- mended him."

If Senator Sherman had not written book, thousands of republicans would have lived and died in the belief that the presidency had been seeking him for a score of years and had only failed to find him through series of miscon- nections.

There are four men in the republican party who will practically determine the candidate for the presidency. They are Senator Quay of Pennsylvania, ex-Sena- ator Platt of New York Secretary of the National Committee Manley of Maine and Colonel Clarkson of Ie~a. These are the big four of the republican party to- day and there is little likelihood that they will be divided on the homestretch for the next presidential nomination. They may not start out together, but their relations are such that full and frank conference between them will all ways be assured, and they are reasonably certain to unite on the successful candi- date before the nomination shall be made.

New England profited enormously by the fast war.
