THE VICE PRESIDENCY.

More than usual interest seems
to be taken in the Vice Presidential
nomination on the Republican
ticket. AS long ago as 1864, when
Colonel Evans carried the state Of
Tennessee for governor and was
cheated out of the office by post
election frauds, quite wave of pop
ular sentiment in favor of his nom
ination for vice president swept over
the country, A year later when
Governor Bradley carried Kentucky
and held it, too, his name was wide
ly coupled with the vice presidency.
Other names have been mentioned,
including Speaker Reed, who,
through friend, resents the sug-
gestion as an impertinence, if not
an insult. He is a candidate for a
higher position than the one he now
occupies, not a lower.
1t is we'll that public attention is
being called to this subject Too
often the matter s left entirely un-
til after the presidential nomination
has been made and is then decided
by accident, or even personal pique.
The position is one Of high honor
and dignity, apart from the chance
that the vice president may become
president Some egregious blum
ders have been made The list of
vice presidents includes Aaron Burr
John c. Calhoun, and John c.
Breckenridge, as well as John Adj
ans, Thomas Jefferson, and Han
nibal Hamlin. Three of our pres
idents came to the supreme office
through the vice presidency, Tyler,
Johnson and Arthur. The latter
made a good president, but the two
others proved to be downright false
to their party. No man should be
put on the ticket for vice president
who could not be fully trusted with

the presidency if it came to him.
Locality is likely to have much
to do with the nomination. With
an eastern man for president the
vice president should surely come
from the west, but if, as now seems
assured, Governor Mckinley, a
western man, should be nominated,
the vice presidency should 90 to the
east. Both political parties have
observed this law OF geography, ex
cept the republicans in 1868, when
Schuyler Colfax of Indiana, and not
Governor Fenton Of New York, was
put on the ticket with General
Grant. Four years later the geo
graphical rectifcation came, Will
son of Massachusetts, displacing
Colfax. The western delegates
should, however, insist that a first
class man be selected, one who
would add strength to the ticket,
and, in case ofnecessity, would also
make a good president,-Tnter

THE goldites on the Sound proved
too many for the eastern Washing
ton silver men in the republican
state convention. Howaver, their
action is not apt to have much in
fuence on the country as a whole,
nor do we believe it to have been
an expression of the republican ma
jority in the state. Themain ques-
tons before the party today are
protection and currency, but when
the primaries and county conven-
tons are controlled in the interest
of very different object, and the
main issues are almost lost sight of,
an honest expression of the people
can not be expected.

best remedy for disorders of the stom-
