THE NEXT DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR
THE PRESIDENCY.
Gov. Sam nlden, Il few months ago,
was confident of being the next Democratic
candidate for the Presidency. He had it
all fixed. His programme was To hep to

having uo PrcsIden lal aspirations, and
then tn make his name the rallyng cry o!

programme. Was it not? But Somehow il
dIdn't work. Allen was barely beaten IN

of New York, and escared defeat III the

beaten out of their bopts, aud 10 man from
New York need enter the ring who has

near sinking his party in the State. Exit
Tilden. If he ever had chance it is gone.
Small men should never undertake large
combinations. The Democracy nust look
elsewhere FOR candidate.

of New York are not as fond of the DemOc
