blushing rascality."
The Detroit Tribune has been look
ing into the political arithmetic, and
sums up things by announcing that:
"The contest for the St. Louis nomina-
tion is narrowed down to choice be-
tween the Governors Of New York and
Indiana, and divides the delegates SO
Tar chosen as follows: Tilden, 1I6; Hen
bricks, 124; unknown, 72. The 0pposi-
tion OF infiationists to Tnden it finds SO
bitter as to make it doubtful, although
he Is now the strongest man, it he can
ever attain the essential two-thirds."
The Omaha Herald is Democratic, but
it hits hard at the 0nio Democracy, say
ing:
"Ohio is again at the front doing what
IT can to defeat the Democratic party.
This Is what it has done since 1864, with
a measure of consistency that has sell
dom been surpassed. But Ohio can not
do this time what it has 50 often done
before. 1t can stab Pendleton, kill
Thurman, and play 'possum with Hen
bricks at the beck oil Washington Me-
Lean and Company, but il must take
back seat in the National Convention"
--The Boston Journal (Republican)
thus lectures Gen. Grant on his supposed
favoritsm of Conkling in the appoint
ment Of Don. Cameron:
"The President of the United States
can not swerve from the path OF plain
! limpartiality in q contest like that now
, going on in the republican organization
without the unfalrness recoiling upon

The day mas gone by when an edict from
the White House, or an understanding
over Cabinet place, is going to have
the slightest effect upon the decision OF
the Republican masses OF the destinies
of the Republican party"
The stwo-thirds rule" has long been
a skeleton in the Democratic sehold,
and at various times intimations have
: appeared in the press of that party of a
desire to have it entirely abrogated. The
Illinois Register now says of it:
Z 'sThe two-thirds rule for political con-
ventions is an unfair one, as most of the
s Democratic papers of the country have
o declared; and If it works injury only, as
= every one believes, why not abolish it at
9 once? The rule was adopted tor the pur-
n pose of turthering the ends Of a sectlon-
al faction, and has, so lar as we know,
produced nothing but evil"
The Richmond Enquirer is violently
opposed to Tilden's nomination, which,
= it says:
"Would cut off ali hope of any West.
i ern State, and leave New York in DOUBT.
s The first place will be given to Bayard,
: Hancock, or some other compromise
man equally acceptable to the East and
l. the West, and the second may 60 10
Governor Hendricks Of Indiana. A
# ticket thus formed is the very strongest
: within our reach. The Tilden men have
seen their best, days; let them throw
! their strength for their second choice.
q Tilden will not be the nominee, but he
., may nominate somebody else."
The Charleston Is. C.) Neays looks
wisely into the future, and gives Gov,
e Hendricks some good advice. 1t says:
= "Gov. Hendricks is young and can af
% ford to take the second place. The sac
\ ritce, il it be one, the party have a right
to expect OF him. Indeed, so oVersha
l. owing is the strength of Tiden as VIZ
s. write that it would be wise for Gov
q Hendricks to cease to oppose him, anC
take unanimous nomination ior Vice
= President. This would give him the
l.
c Iour years hence"
But, as general rule, politicians dc
a not like to discount the future to tha
!, extent.
t Two Tilden papers have had q rath
er unpleasant breaking out upon then
lately. The Louisville Coarter-Joarna
has been assailing Tammany Hall for it,

SWeeny." The Rochester Union defend

thinks some one set it on.
,e The Richmond Enquirer is very EN-
K. phatic in favor of the nomination o
Senator Bayard; OF whom it says:
"Principle and expediency now alik
.. point to the desirability of the Domina
!, ton of Thomas +. Bayard, of Delaware
as the Democratic candidate for tn,
Presidency. Here is man whose Sc
lection would offend no faction, no sec
ton"
And the New York World, since 1T
y change of owners, seems also to be look
ing Bayardwards tor candidate; for i
Il says Of him:
t. "There is no sound Democrat in tn
d. country, East or West, North or South
{. who does not favor the nomination 0
