An excellent omen for the oosnlog political campaign Is found in the good feeling and confidence generally prevailing among 'Republicans. While there are many candidates for the Presidency talked of, and each, o« has his.friends, there is an al-( most universal readiness tx to give cotdial support to any man|^diatb4 who may be the nominee of tbe con­ vention, and a conviction that with « sound platform and wise action he wil. he elected. The chapter of accidents by grace et which Mr. Cleveland secured the Pres­ idency four years ago, is not likely t« be repeated. New York Republican* are well united. The Burchard trick could hardly succeed again, and it maj be anticipated that tbeisklep will be l"^ more propitious for the country voter n tbe East next November than It is last. Who will be the candidate U still ss loertain as the verdict of a petit jury. The Republicau party has many trained statesmeu of large experience, unimpeachable reoord, patriotic sym­ pathy with the industrial interests of tbe country, and a general knowl- dge of its oondltion and needs. Al­ most any one of these woQld be *c- ceptable to the entl re party. The name of James G. Blaine Is, of urse, more prominently before tbe people than any other. While be may not be so popular In England as Mr. Cleveland, there is little reason to doubt that if a fair vote and an honest count could be had all ever tbe United States be could be elected President by a handsome majority. But there are several States io tbe South that. vote would be Republi­ can, which Mr. Cleveland counts upon with absolute certainty, because he nows by the history ef twenty years that tbe Republican vote In those States will not be permitted to.be cast, and if cast would not be honestly counted. This enables the Democrats o concentrate their efforts in„tbe two or three Northern States which are all they teed in addition to tbe Solid South so confidantly relied upon. This renders It necessary that the Republicans in making their nomina­ tions should see to it that tbe ticket has no element of weakness, but that It is so far as possible, satisfactory to tbe entire party. There is no use in disguising the fact that there is a per cent of tbe Republican .party wbe. partly through tbe libelous attscks on Mr. Blaine by the Democratic press and partly by the unwise course of a portion of the Republican press, have been so prejudiced against him, that tbey would not support him, although they would cordially endorse almost any other nomination. Such votes might be important in a close election and in doubtful States, Mr. Blaine probably understands this state of things as well as any man, and there are strong reasons for believing that be is watching tbe sit uatieb closely, and we believe he is too sound a Republican to allow his name to be u&ed in the convention if there is any donbt as to his ability to secure tbe whole Republican vote. There is uo doubt his course will be dictated by a sincere patriotism and that, whoever else may receive the nomination, will have bis most cordial and hearty tupgon.--Springfield Jour. nal. law.

An Important book Is about to he brought out by Hen. Rlch%rd W. Thompson of this state. It Is a histo­ ry of the Industrial and commercial legislation of the government--or to speak more tersely, of tariff legislation, from the earliest days of the govern­ ment to the present time. The time­ lines* of the work, and' the eminent qualifications of the author to produee atonoe a history of interest and of standard authority, will make its pub­ lication an Important event In current II eratur*. Whatever Cel. Thompson does he does well; and In this work be has brought into action unequalled knowledge and experience. «nd train­ ed literary faculties of the highest kind. The book will consist of forty- six chapters, and it is a complete and exhaustive compilation of all the facts of our history upon the tariff, and an examination of the operations of the various tariff laws since the first one Of 1796. The volume will show how the fsthers or the government, the men who made the Constitution and laid the foundations of the nation, adopted tbe principle of protection to American industry "for protection's •eke." They were not afraid of tbe logic of their laws, and did not trv to split hairs and|trianffu]ate the differ­ ence between tweedle-dee and tweed- le-dum to suit tbe fancies or wblms of theorists and school-men. Thsy adopted protection because they be­ lieved In the right and duty of protec­ tion; they did not favor tariff laws for revenue, with "Incidental' protection. Col. Thompson deals fully with the history of the tariff, quoting all the Democratic presidents from Jeffersoo to Jackson, and showing that tbe free trade movement was introduced and fathered by the Southern slaveholdinff nullifying oligarchy. Tbe book, how­ ever. is not a partisan one, and will be mine of information for the free­ trader as well as for the believer In a protective tariff. It i« a volume ef about 600 pages, and It is to be issued bv R. S. Peale & Co., ef Chlcsgo, who will se 11 it bv subscription. They are good publishers and pushing business men, and they hope to have tbe work en tne market by the middle ef next month. It cannot come too early, The book Is the product of tbe ripest years and judgment of Col. Thomp­ son's long and honorable life. It was not written with a view to the present special condition of affairs, but the precipitation of the discussion beciuse of President Cleveland's free trade message mikes its appearnnco pecul­ iarly timely and valuable.
