Now, what Is the situation? By taking

accomplished personal revenge which would
be very sw Get. He has broken the ring which

Excellent reasons may be adduced for advo-

lend weight and dignity and all other
requisites to the ticket. His reluctance will
appear quite like an excess of modesty. The
average man can hardly understand that to
nominate Hanna for vice president would be
literally to strip him of the greater portion
of his powers and perquisites. Yet such is
the case.
