The list of candidates as finally decided upon includes two men from the Boston district, three from other parts of New England, five from the New York district, and one each from Pittsburgh, Washington, Virginia, the Chicago district, and San Francisco. Professionally, the list includes three bankers; a physician and a surgeon; two heads of educational institutions, one of whom is a clergyman; a merchant, a manufacturer, and a trustee; a government official; a judge, a lawyer, a mining engineer, and an art director.
