without hat support. they cannot hope to
elect Mr. Greedy. it would certainly have
been better to have nominated a map, in
whose election the Democrats would have
heartily united. Hhat will be the policy
Of the Democratic party under the pres
ent circumstances, has nor yet been de-
vcloped. The committee appointed to
designate the time and place Of holding
convention met il New York yesterday.
We propose to wait patiently for the poll
icy indicated by the Democratic party.
W aatsser may be- the policy adopted,
We fear the the issue is how fairly before

Grant must he cur next president. Mel

rot sanguipe of the result, We shall wait
further ievelo pmeuts, hoping that it may
be possible for US to cast Our votes fer
man whose principles would command
the respect and endorsement of he people.

! The feeling is almost unanimous in
favor Of nominating regular ticket. A
prominent Southern Democrat ssys
that just at the present time Mr.. Gree
ley seems very popular in the South,
but when sober second thought comes
and the the people reflect that Greeley
has supported every measure advocated
by President Grant and favored the con-
tinuance OF the Ku.Klux law and sus-
pension OF kabeas corpus 10 the Southern
States, the reaction will set in, and
Greeley will be far from popular. The
Democrat says that in the late war the
Southern people lost everything but
their honor, and that they would now
lose BY supporting Greeley.

We are glad to hear q very general

yers in the State. There is no man
that is bic superior in qualifications for

ceive a unanimous nomination. ..' "-'
The character Of his mind particular,
ly qualities him for the position. There
is probably 20 man in tine State that
will contribute more credit to the Su.
preme Bench than John s. Hoffman.
He is earnest, thoughtful and honest
intelligent and thoroughly versed in the
laws OF the State. The land laws ore
probably the most complicated of any
we have. Colonel Hoffman has made
them speciality and is probably more
familiar with them than any other gen
tleman in the State, while he has been
close student and is thoroughly &C
auainted with the other branches OF his
profession. Those who know him,
know that his integrity is past question.
Besides he has happy faculty Of put
ting his thoughts on paper, and will
write the opinions OF the Court in man
