In less than four monlhS both the great
political parties will ha ye held their cort
veutiuusaud nomiuateu their candidate for
President and Vice-President, aud yet
strange to say neither party has as yet
prominently designated the men about
whom they will tally, or in whose beliaii
the contest for the nomination will b e
made. Ill other words, there appears to be
no fatorites, and while the name of Dem¬
ocrats and Republicans have been men¬
tioned, there is no concerted movement,
no crystallizing of effort, in favor of one
man. That there are men in both parties
who desire the nomination is evident, and
each of them HsS his individual follbwing,
but there seems to be a disposition to hold
off to see what the other fellow is doing or
p,0pose to do. That it is to he tlie strug¬
gle of two giants for the mastery, is clear¬
ly evident. We have endeavorea to fath
Um the mystery, to reach the undercur¬
rent and if posible get at the true status.
We have consulted alike Senators, Repre'
sentatives, and "member of the third
houseand the most that we can learn is
that both parties are dilligently in search
of the man who is sure to carry New York*

whole. He said: *T will never forget
that I am a senator in the Congress of the

Congress very promptly voted 8300,000

will from present appearances be called
