Our Vice Presidents.
Washington Letter in New York Mail and
EXPRESS

Express.
1t is an unfortunate fact that the per-
sonal relations between our Presidents and
Vice Presidents have seldom been particu-
larly cordial. The former often resented
the ambitions of the latter, and certainly
ignored the claims to recognition as a fac
tor In administration policies. This was
especially true of Lincoln and Hamlin, and
of Cleveland and Hendricks. and of Cleve-
land and Stevenson, though Hendricks died
before the situation got beyond mere COM
ment. Harrison and Morton got along
fairly well. because Morton made no effort
to encroach upon presidential territory. No
two men in those offices, however, have
ever been so cordial in their relations and
unified in their political purposes as Nc
Kinley and Hobart. There has never been
the slightest friction between them. and the
appointment of Governor Griggs, of New
Jersey, attorney general, Is evidence that
the President Is glad to be surrounded
with the friends of the Vice President. II
is seldom that a Cabinet officer Is selected
at the suggestion of the Vice President,
or that some of the most important presi-
Dental patronage is given out In accord
ance with the views of the presiding officer
of the Senate. In view of these circum-
stances. ii can be assumed that the Presi-
dents vacation at Thomasville is not going
to be seriously interrupted IL the subject
of the vice presidency is the only matter
up for discussion there.
