New York and New Jersey

1t must be gratifying to the President
and his supporters to observe the condi-
ton of their party's affairs in tho impor-
tant states of New York and New Jersey.
The republicans of both states have select
ed their delegates to Philadelphia have ex-
pressed themselves as to the administra-
TONS performances and the party's poll
cies' and shown that they are in fine fettle
for the coming race. Both conventions
were largely attended, the foremost of the
local leaders participated in the proceed
ings. and generous enthusiasm marked
every step taken.
But why should not this spirit have been
shcwn? In what particular has the admin
istration failed in matters of Vital impor-
lance to the people Of those two common
wealths? The tariff has been revised in the
interests of American Industries and Ameri-
can labor, the morcy question has been
dealt with strictly after the party's prom
ises and policies. and to the extent that
expansion is a commercial question 1t
bears directly upon the interests of those
great hives of human industry. Why,
then, for an administration which has pur-
sued a course on all tours with the wants
and wishes of those who helped to put 1t
into office, should not there be both in
dOrsement and enthusiasm? What excuse
could any republican in either state give
for holding aloof from, or joining but list
lessly in. the chorus CT approval which now
is sounding?
The conventions are described by the Oh
position cut-and-dried affairs. 1t NAV
be said in reply that, in states where poll
tics are usually so warm. and the indepen-
dent spirit so we'll developed. If there had
not an,,
factionalism would easily have shown its
head.

Paris and France,


NJ. Cambon, French ambassador to the
United States, speaking of the students of
Columbia University. said that Americans
when in France ought to go through the
provinces, where they would see and learn
the real French character. BY this remark
he showed that. like many Intelligent
Frenchmen, he does not regard Paris as
typical of French character. and he proba-
bly, recognizes that less political centraliza-
ton would place France in a different light
before the rest of the world.

A TRICK THAT WON
VICE PRESIDENCY.
Howard Carroll s Cleverness Resulted
i'm the Nomination of General
Chester A. Arthur.

New York. July S.--When Vt In re-
Nembered that in the event OF the
death. resignation or inability OF the
president OF the United States to per-
form his duties. the vice president Is
his heir apparent to the chair, Is the
alternate president, as IL were. IL Is
plainly evident that proper care and
consideration is frequently not exer-
cised in national conventions In NAM
ing men TO All the second Office In the
gift of the nation.
This was not so when the republic
was young and IL was never intended
10 be SO by the trainers OF the consti-
tuition.
Under certain circumstances and
conditions 1t is almost as easy as roll
ing of leg to nominate man for the
Sice presidency, who. at the time.
Sould not be regarded with any favor
as presidential timber. and II is possl-
Vie for the man SO named TO become
president OF the United states and in
that position TO surprise even his
warmest friends by his display OF abil-
ity and tact. Let me explain.
When General Howard Carroll. who

John II. Starin, the New York steam
boat owner, and is also general on
the staff of Governor Teddy" Roose-
welt, was only newspaper cores
pondent. III c." OF the New York
Times, he naturally took very lively
interest in national politics and his
letters 10 his paper, though always
strongly Republican I'm tone. were ex-
ceedingly interesting to Democrats:
Reading them carefully between the
lines they could generally tell which
way the Republican cat intended
jumping for no man was better In
formed OF it's Intentions than he.
Carroll seldom took an active part In
national conventions, though on one
occasion ne did and the cleverness with
which he succeeded In dominating his
candidate fairly amazed the old time
political wire pullers who were not
wont TO be so readily manipulated and
made mere marionettes, obedient 10

what Howard was at the time.
