Taft Talked OF.

Cincinnati Enquirer's Washington Corre-
spondentl
There is squad OF Ohio members
working up Taft for the Presidency.
They are doing this for several reasons: /:
First, they. want man OutIide Of Ohio
nominated, and are trying to get up q
division among the Ohio delegation to
weaken Hayo3. JuGge Griswold, of
Cleveland, is here. He fsvOrs Taft be.
cause he is man OF national reputation
and infinitely superior to Hayes in all
qualifications that fit man for the great
Office. There is strong and growing
feeling here among certain clss5 of
Democrats, who are not burdened with
Presidential favorites. that General Han.
cock is the NC st available candidate the
Democrats can nominal for the Pr il
dency. II becomes mott evident every
Jay that the bic )dy shirt will be Repub.
liesn stock in trace for the next can
vse3, and some Democrats think that
there is no chance TO win with man
like Hendricks, with his Shelbyville
speech; or Thu nan, whose relations
rendered too mucn sid and comfort to
the rebel prisoners at Camp Che9e
With such records as those, the pemo-
crata would have to conduct q defensive
campaign on war prejudice, bat with
a man like Hancock at the head Of the
ticket, who smelled powder, the Demo-
Gratis could nullify the war cry, and
make an aggressive canvass on the Re-
publican rsscalities.

Chances.
Washington Correspondent New York Tri-
bune
There is no longer any talk OF an old
fashioned Democratic ticket. 1t wf9
plentiful and noisy enough at the be-
ginning of the session, but it has all died
away, little by little. The Hendricks
enthusiasm ha7 evapoTated; Bayard is
only fascinating dream impossible of
reGiizatiOn. OF Thurman there is some
solid residuum remaining, but it dimin-
ishe9 day by day. Tilden's strength
may be great, but, If so, it is not we'll
known to his party associates at Wash
ingtOn. The name of Judge Davis,
spoken in whisper few weeks ago, is
now on all men'sElips. Nine Democrats
out Of ten in congress il asket to-day,
not for their preferences but for their
opinions as TO who the st. Louis NOM
inee is likely 10 Ee would reply, "Judge
Davi7, or some new man." 30 it will
be seen that the psIty is likely to try
it requires OF a candidate is ability to
draw off Republican votes. In one or
two cOntingenci. it is thought that a
straightOut Democrat, if untinctured
with BOurb0ui5m, and possessed of an
unasaailable record, might accomplish
this-such coDtiDg. ,cies ss the nOmi-
nation OF Mr.. Mo. \ or Mr.. Conkling
at Cincinnati. If the Republicans shoul0
put either Of these Objectionable states
men forward, the Democrat would Per-
baps venture II run Mr.. Thurman, but
it now appears certain that they will not
take the ri7kyof nominating Ldr. Hen
bricks, and in all probability they will
choose Judge DAVIS or some man not
mentioned at all y yet, whose record
will have the merit of being short and
good. The tendency - turn aside from
the eXpectant line of old party hacks
and fiud l.. III man is veIy marked. If
the Republicans take the only sensible
and safe cOU,Ie open TO them, and select
q candidate in no way tainted with the
vices Of Grants administration, the
Democrats will have TO make bod bid
for Re publican vote or lose the fight,
and from the talk of their leaders here
it would lock a3 if they were prepared
for such an emergency. Iadeed there is
nothing they are not ready TO do to save
themselves nom another defeat. They
might even nominate Charlie Francis
Adams il they could thereby double
their chances of success; but q much
more probable step would be to run some
one with 8 brilliant war record like Cen
ersl Hancock, with the view Of taking
the soldier vote away iIom civilian
like Mr.. Blaine. II will be seen that
the st. Louis convention offers q field
for endless speculation. All movements
for controlling that body are still in So
luton, and the most influential Demo
crats, mean, if they can, to keep them

be because the snares Of those expert
enced fOwlers will be swept away by the
rising gale OF the popular will. Mr..
BristOw will therefore prove either a
veiy weak candidate or an Irresistible
one. 1t seems certain that he has broken
Ia upon Mr. Blpine's forces In New
England, aud if he can do the same
thing in Illinois and the northwest, and
can get tWo-thirds of the Ohio delegs-
ton on the second ballot, the tide might
set in his favor too powerfully to be
turned. 1t must be admitted, however,
that the prospects, rs viewed from
Washington level, strongly favor Mr..
Blaine.
Mr.. Morton is likely to maintain his
maximum strength on the first bPllot.
There is no possibility % growth, and
his nomination is an almost impossible
contingency. Some of the Oldest Re-
publicans in congress declare that it
would disrupt the party. A New York
member, very much respected for his
good judgment, said to-day that at least
twenty Of his fellow Republicans had
told him il Morton were nominated
they would refuse to support him. AS
for Mr.. ConkiinG, no one here, unless 1t
be the seHstOr himself and Mr.. A. B.
Cornell, who is now IN Washington, re.
CARDS mis- nomination as q possibility
worth taking into account. Governor
Hayes is just possibility, and rather
remote one at that. II Mr.. Blaine should
fail to get majority Of the delegates, il
the B-istow movement should come TO
nothing, and if the Morton men, the
Conkling men, and Mr.. Cameron's
delegation should join the
Ohio delegation, Governor Hayes could
be nominated. But here ere three lfs
in arow-enough to vitiate any cslcula'
ton. And perhaps, instead Of goirg to
Ohio, these forces would ask Ohio to
come to them, and join them in bring
ing out new candidate like Mr.. Wheel

They believe and have entire warrant for
believing that their standard bearer is
better qualified by inclination, education, ex-
perience and natural capacity to administer
the government with wisdom, economy and
rectitude than any man that was mentioned as
the fayorite of the so called "reformers''. They
do not believe and there is nothing whatever to
justify belief that the government is now
fostering mass of corruption. All such talk is
the veriest clap-tTap and demagogism But
there are always errors to be corrected, defects
to be remedied, and who SO we'll adapted to the
accomplishment of these objects as a man per-
fectly familiar with national affairs, and of an
integrity so perfect that calumny has not ven-
tured upon the hopeless task of assaiiug it?
Something more than the merely negative
quality of honesty is wanted in President.
Indispensable as that requisite is, it is much
easier to find than the higher attributes of tai
ent and craftsmanship. But these are all COM
bined in the Senator from New York. Under
his auspices reform would become a practical
fact instead of a partisan watchword. We are
at crisis in affairs when just such a leader is
needed, clothed with power commensurate
with his will to lift the country out of the de-
preston into which it has been plunged by the
waste of civil war and the evils of an ire
deemable currency and to re-establish its COM
merce and industries upon stable and perma-
nent foundations. YARMOUTH
