Mr. Allison's qualifications take blm at once from the list of local favorites, and rank blm among those to whom the eyes of th partj are turned and from whom their Choice will be made. From the Indianapolis Journal: There Is a great deal of quiet gossip amone Re publicans as to the advisability of nominat ing a Southern man on their ticket for Vice-President. Those that advocate such a tteo say tbat it will give them an advan tage in the pivotal States of tha South. The Democrat!, they say, with all tbelr pretensions of being a national party, will take both candidates from the North. Ex Representative JobnS. Wise, of VUginla, Gen. Nathan Qoff, Jr., of West Virginia, William O. Bradley, of Kentucky, and Henry O, ITarmotb, of Louisiana, are spoken of as the men from whom the selec tion will be made, placing Gen. Harrison, ot Indiana, at the head of the ticket. From the Chicago Tribune'. Robert G. IngerioU tays: "I am in favor ot the nom ination of some man to the Presidency who can be elected. The candidate of tho Re publican party must be known as an Intel ligent, honest, patriotic roan. In my judg ment it would not be wise to nominate any man who had been identified In any bitter (tnsewith any ot the factions. My own opinion is tha( no better man, no man seore likely to succeed, could be nominated than Walter Q. Gresbam. No man within my acquaintance has a better or more con sistent record. He is in all probability the most popular candidate that could be named In the West. I think he would carry New York." man as two peas In a pod.

All tho guests were dressed In the classic cos tume ot the age of Elckero (I believe that Is the latest standard pronunciation).

It was always a mystery to the outside world how General Badeau ever obtained any standing with General Grant. By the majority of people who knew blm he was generally detested as a puffed up, oven and the tyranny on the other hand. Ireland nresents no worse contrast. The baron. like Lady Matheson, says, '"These lands and their contents are ray property anil you hayo nothing to do with them. If you do not accept my terms you can starve; that is your look-out, not mine, for I alone possess the right to control and derive the benefits springing: from these lands." Is this picture overdrawn? It is not.and hence. as Mr. Ranshsr says. "There is a higher law than any ever written on parchment that warrants and justifies men In refusing to starve In the sight of opportunities to earn a llvlng,from which they are shut out by tne greed, pride or caprice or a minori ty." j usnuis. highton Poor District for bal ance of year 1886-7.
