Those who watch the drift pnblic sentiment can Hardly fail to Observe that with the clearing away of the smoke of the state and district conven­ tions. the current is setting quietly to­ ward Gen. Logan as the most available candidate for the Republican party to nominate at the coming convention' His location, his familiarity with pub­ lic matters, his marked ability, his great personal popularity, all conspire to make him a prime favorite. We are still living near the war and there is a strong feeling to honor the men who participated In that great struggle- Gen. T.ogan stands as Its most con- spicious volunteer soldier, while his record as a statesman is equally credit­ able. He has the confidence of the entire country. The East is divided, as in every Presidetial year, so that frohi the West must come the leader, and who so worthy or so well qualified as the galleiit soldier and able states­ man from the Prarie State,? So let it be. and there will be an enthusiasm and heartiness infused into the cam­ paign that will carry dismay to the opposition and insure a Republican iliajority ina half doren of the states that are always classed as doiibtfuU-r Waukegan Gazette. Bgy-Who W!H be the Republican nominee for President*? We are asked daily and oftensr. but nobody knows. The man who could answer it, would be "a bigger man than old Grant," and couid make a fortune like Goulds or Vnnderbilts. We ta«e little satisfaction in the present outlook; for the pros­ pect is. since so much acrhnony* has been developed In the canvass, that none of the leading candidates will be nominated; that some dark horse will win the race. And the dark horse busi­ ness we have become feenrtily sick of. It is one of the most unjust, unfair and contemptible feat.ures in politics, that the gre.-it leaders in political parties are denied the great prizes; that Its Websters and Clays, Its Conkllngs vnd Bla'nes are sent to the rear.simply because they are great; and because, being leaders they have been influen­ tial and made opponents; and some insignificant fellow like Polk. Pierce or Haves, is put forward and given the highest office in the gift of American people simply because lie is insignifi­ cant and being insignificant has made no enemies. We are for Logan, and we are for Blaine, but we would rather see Grant,Conklin or Arthur nominated, than some weak common place make­ shift of a candidate, who has not won the-lionor bj conspicuous ability, and prominence in statemansbip. The dark horse policy may not work again, for thousands o( our voters, have the same repugnance to It, that we have,-- Sycamore Republican. S^*Less than a year ago the writer had the pleasure of meeting four distin­ guished citizens, who at that time, unitedly, could draw a check for al­ most a fabulous sum, and it would have been honored by any bank in the country. One of these gentlemen was a railroad magnate; one was the great­ est military man of tiie age and twice elected President of the United States, and the other was a reckless specula­ tor. To-day those men are bankrupts. Villard, tin railroad man. was the first to succumb; Keene, the speculator, was next; Grant, the general and ex- president, next; and Senator Sabiij, the manufacturer, the last.
