Three Names In Forty Minutes.

Vice-President Fairbanks has now emphatically given out a negative reply to the suggestion that he accept the second place on the ticket And it is probable that he will not be the nominee. There is some talk of Secretary of the Treasury, George B. Cortelyou, and he would be a firstclass man and an available candidate as he is from New York state. It took Editor Babcock a column and a half to explain his tax evasions, but Dr. Hartsell is dead and can not explain his. It is quite an easy matter to point out the shortcomings of a man after his demise, araPit is true that some who hunt up the frailties of the dead have to do a lot of explaining to avoid having the public discover their own duplioity. Verily the tax dodger should be the las: of all the howlers about the side steps that his fellow man makes of the same kind. The friends and campaign managers of Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, are making many claims for him, and it is probable that he will get many delegates through the south, where the democrats seem to have a clear conception of the demagogy of William J. Bryan. But there are a small per cent of the democrats of the north that really admire Bryan, and were they to express their own sentiments they would cut loose from the man of years of talk and become associated with a saner man and a man of greater business capacity. It is certain that Johnson will go into the democratic national convention with more votes than any opponent that Secretary Taft will have in the republican convention. , An amusing political spectacle is that of Senator Foraker, of Ohio, who has long been an enemy of President Roosevelt, but has a bitter I and enduring hatred for Taft, and for 1 no better reason than because Taft beat him out in Ohio. Foraker, dubbed “Fire Alarm” Foraker, is doing a lot of shouting for a third term for Roosevelt, but it is for no love for the president, but he realizes that there is but one way to defeat Taft, and that is to stampede the convention for Roosevelt Taft is serenely attending to the duties of the office ! of Secretary of War, but he has an eye out for Foraker and the once great senator can not expect to fool many people by his noise. The polite way for~~a defeated politician iarttrget into the band wagon, and Fo»aker had better get in while thereis still a seat.
