Jk THE BUTLER HERALD. I Thurman i« not acceptable to the j *’“«>.—•'mint of hit financ : al position, anil th.- onlv reason for tilMUiOfclPTIUX 1'tIOI $1-30. PhiU annum. TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 9th 1879. Tlie Next President. Our northern exchanges of both parties are actively engaged in dis cussing the brobabilities as to what men will receive tbo Presidential nomination of their respective par-! ties. Anil first ns to the Republican party. Just now the groat ques tion with Republicans seems to he a- to whether or not Gen. Grant will accept the nomination. The opponents of Grant areendeavoring to malce it appear that he will not accept the nomination if tendered; on the other hand his friends assert that if necessary to the peace and welfare of the country he will ac cept. It seems to us that there can he no doubt ns to Gen. Graut's po sition. If he does not intend to accept the nomination if tendered, it would be efisy to say so it. express terms, and that would settle the question. Of course Gen. Grunt cannot enter into an un seemly scramble for the office; nor, can he even appear to desire n third term of office without an otter disregard of all the maxim- and teachings of Washington and all the lathers of the Republic. We take it therefore that in the event the Republican party shall tender him the nomination, he will conclude that the country is in a condition that imperatively demands bis services and the noms iuation will he accepted according ly. The next question that oaturally arises is, can Gen Grant’s friends succeed in getting him the nomina tion ? We think it doubtful. There are a great many of the be3t men in the Republican party who will oppose his nomination. In ad dition to this cIbsb there is another that will favor the man who ap pears to have the greatest strength; and kuowing that there are thou sands of people opposed to any man holding the office of Presi dent a third term, will oppose Gen Grant on this ground alone. Lastly, the whole influence of the Administration is now being used against him, which of itself is no small matter. We think there fore in view of these facts,the nom- natiou of Gen. Grant is exceed ingly doubtful. From Ihe lights before us we are ofopinioD that the chances of Saer- mihu are better than those of any other candidate in the “field.” Coukling has been effectually shelv ed in consequence of bis episode with Mrs. Sprague. As to Blaio, we don’t think lie has had any chance since Proctor Knott so ef fectually disposed of him in Con gress about two years ago. Sber- mau has the advantage of the enor mous influence wielded by the President. When all theso things uret aken into consideration, we think the Secretary's chances de cidedly better than that of any oth er candidate, and the Republican party could not put forward a stronger or a better man. Should Ohio go Republican at the coming election, then that will be another help to Sherman that we think will well-nigh assure him the nom* ination he seeks, and we greatly fear that he will obtain this advan tage. So far as concerns the Democrat ic parly three men arc now prom- neiit, one of whom we think will receive its nomination. It is hard ly iiecessery to say that Tilden, Thurman and Bayard aro the men to whom we refer. Mr. Tilden’s ohief strength Ins in the fact that he was fairly and legally elected President in 1876; and, had the nomination come off one year ago, ho would uadoubt- )y have been nominated. Since that time the‘'cipher dispatches,” and Field’s charges with reference to Mr. Tilden's alleged bad fuith in certaio railway transactions, have certainly lessened his chances for the noniioHtion. Then, if New York shall go Republican at the next election, as seems very proba ble we think his claims will he ef fectually disposed of. As to Senator Thurman, we are ot opinion that if the Republicans carry Ohio this Fall his chances to he President will be M17 “slim." Deserving Credit BY “or.Nji.a.” his nomination would be his strength in the Northwest and West; but if Ohio is lost that de prives him of that. We have al ready said we fear the Demoeruts will lose that State. If our hypotheses are correct, then it ia clear the chances of Sen ator Bayard are better than those of any other candidate now before the people. Nor do we think the Democratic party could do a better or a wiser thing than nominate him. His character for hon esty, purity, and statesmanlike qualities is irreproachable aud hie poiiteal record unassailable. His nomination would command the respect of all parties aud give to ken of the daw q of a better day upon the political wo, Id. We trust therefore that Senator Bayard will be the next D. mocrat- c caodidate for President. VYc believe that he, if any man can, would lead uson to victory; an I, that his nomination would beget an enthusiasm among the people that would Inar dowu ull opposi tion before it. We shall recur to this suhj-ct again aud g ve iu detail our rea sons for lavoring the nomination ot this pure and exalted statesman. Treasurer Renfroe. Reports from Atlanta are very damaging to the official character ot Treasurer Renfroe. Indeed the statement of the Treasurer himseli shows that he is ignorant of a plain provision of the Constitution, or, has au utter disregard for its requirements and prohibitions. Mr. Renfroe states that the su reties on his official bond'reqnired as a condition of their signing the bond with him tliut he should de posit the money belonging to the State in certain banks. This con dition was agreed to by R-nfroe; he designating certain banks him self. In accordance with thi, agreement,or rather in con-equecce of it an executive order was ob taiued authorizing the Treasurer to deposit the State's funds iu the banks selected. Sometime after this had been done the Treasurer’s securities in formed him ti.at the hunks were paying them interest on the mon ey deposited in their vaults and they proposed to give him one- third of the interest they were re ceiving, Renfroe says that he sought legal advice and was in formed that he could lawfully ac cept the offered interest, Certain ly the lawyer who gave this opin ion was a mere tyro in hgal lore. The Treasurer admits that he has received six thousand dollars and •‘perhaps more,’’ as his third of the interest. It thus appears that the State has, by this arrangement, cost at least eighteen thousand dollars, “perhaps more,” by rea son of this nice little arrangement That the Treasurer has, in this matter violated a plain provision of the Constitution we think no man of common 6ense can doubt. The section of the Constitution to which we refer is as follows: “The Treasurer shall not be al lowed directly or indirectly, to re ceive any fee, interest or reward from any neison, bank, or corpora tiou, tor the deposit or use in any manner, of the public funds; and the General Assembly shall enforce this provision by Buitrble penal ties.” Art. 2 Sec. 2 Par 6 Const. Again: “The Tieasurer shall not ho al lowed any fee perquisite or com pensation other than their salaries as prescribed by |aw, except nec essary expenses when absent from the seat of Government on business for the State.” Art. 2, See. 2 Par 7 Const. Now we are not chronic grum blers; but if the Treasurer does not know he has violated the above provisions, then he should be re moved for incapacity, If he is not ignorant of the fact he should still bo removed from office for a palpa ble disregard of duty.
