Under no consideration wculd Mr..

cause SO rs to believe. That some
thing has occurred to change his de-
cision Is certain from the contents OF
thyle letter. That his decision t. likely
to affect gerioasly the plans of other
democrats Is likewise assured State

CornweM made the race -ainst
Governor Dawson, and, it is rid bu
his friends--and the fgues. when
carefully analysed, tend to rear out
the asserticn--that he would have
won out had not Roosevelt swept the
state By such N unprecedented plu-
rality. Nine ont of ten democrats one
may interview will say that Cornwell
is the logical candidate for the minor
ity party to nominate. It is SAYING q
good deal to assert that Cornwell can
have the nomination of he wants it,
but that appears to be just about the
truth OF the situation. Now that he
has said he will take the nomination
IL it comes to him with something like
unanimity- which means that he
would take the nomination and would
like to have lit is pretty safe TO
reckon on CornweWs name figuring
large from now on in the political
dope books as the next democratic
candidate.
How this announcement of Corn

ceived in the camp of the MacCorkle-
Chilton's remains to be seen. That
group OF influential politicians, believ-
ing Cornwell had taken himself per-
manently out of consideration, had
groomed Littlepage While they do
not especially oppose Cornwell per-
sonally he has been too closely identi-
fed with John T. McGraw to suit their
liking. Up to now Littlepage has
been the sole figure in the democratic
limelight, but now Delegate 4. E.
Kenney, of Calhoun has sprung a
boomlet for John NJ. Hamilton of his
county which caused mere ripple,
and CornweI announces that he is

THE PERUVIAN PRESIDENCY.

The announcement of the election OF a new
President in Peru IS reminder of the stable
and orderly government which that republic
now enjoys and has long enjoyed and of the
high class of statesmen selected to direct its
public interests. The reproach OF being the
prey of military dictators and usurpers, which
once was largely directed at South American
states in general and which even in late
times was not altogether unjust so far some
of them We're concerned, has for years been
entirely foreign to Peru, and it is safe to assume
that 1t will not again be applicable to that
country.
The new President or President elect Senior
Leguia is highly successful man Of affairs
In mercantile life and Of important experience
In civic affairs He was for some years mem
Der and indeed head of the Cabinet though he
retired from Office a few months ago in order
TO obviate possible embarrassment as q candl-
date for the Presidency. His election appears
to have been effected IN q perfectly peaceful
and legitimate manner, betting an enlightened
constitutional nation. and there is ground for
confident expectation that his administration
will compOrt with and promote the best welfare
of his country.
While congra tulations are due to Peru upon
this orderly and excellent choice of new
chief executive, 1t is impossible to escape feel
ings of regret at the retirement or PRESIDENT
Pardo from the office which he has filed so
greatly to the advantage of Peru and TO the

lean craftsmanship at its best, and could
wish for Peru nothing better than that his
successor who has for years been his minis
teriai associate and aid, shall continue the
wise and patriotic policies which he has so
successfully pursued.
