JUDGI DAVIS TIE SOUTH.

The strength OF Judge Dayi, H. Dem
ocratjc candidate tor the presidency be-
comes more apparent every day. This
is particularly true in the South. In that
section Of the country, Judge Davis is
Enthusiastically a popular candidate. and
will, if nominated at st. Louis, draw to
his side host OF supporters OF all shades
OF political opinion. The Nicksburg
Sentinel Of the I'd inst. contains a letter
from Washing ton, written by Judge A.
Burwcll, formerly an influential citizen
Of Vicksbnrg. lie expresses in it the
sentiments OF Il large class OF consc rva-
tive Republicans, who have become es-
tranged from the Republican party, but
who will not act with the Democratic
party unless it shall show wisdom in the
choice OF candidate at st. Louis. Judge
Burwell enumcrates briefly the qualities
which recommend Judge Davi;
as peculiarly fit to Occup,
the presidential office his age and phys
ical vigor; habits of simplicity in living
and expenditures integrity, decision o.
character, and lifelong devotion to tn,
Union opposition to all fraud and corrup
ton and to unconstitutional and oppres
siye measures and his advocacy of hon.
est, economical and legal administration
and lastly his sound and conservatiy,

rejoicing over the result of the election
In Connecticut. so 10 not we. "The
people are At last" cxclaims the Register,
awake to the shameful corruptions. ex.
'travagance and fraud OF the Republican
conspiracy. and are beginning to push
thieves to the wall go How the Register
draws this conclusion from the result OF
the Connecticut election we cannot under
stand. Last year. before the exposure Of
Republican corruption, the Democrats
carried Connecticut by larger major
ity than they are now rejoice
ing over. How can We explain this i'm.
por,ant fact; This year we have been
able to say to the people of Connecticut :
1.-The Democrats have exposed Radical
corruption. We have proved that the
Radical party is n party of thieves. Vote
with Us" The response has been unsat-
isiactory. our majority has fallen of.
In other words. the people have replied
10 us: at is true Won have exposed
Radical corruption. but we can't trust
'you In face of the tact that YOU have
uncovered thievery, fewer OF us will
vote with you this year than last
This is response that proves, what .
In our opinion 1t proves that the Demo.
cratic party has made mistakes that have
overcome. in great measure. the effect the
exposure OF Radical corruption has had
on the public mind. The people would
rather endure Belkuapism than Ben
Hillism, would rather endure Graniism
than Jcfl Davisi.m, would rather suffer
from Babcockism than embrace Con-
Federalism. These are plain words. but
| they are true ones. and not until the
Democratic party learns the force of them
and condemns llillism-iiot until il learns
that the results OF the war must be oh.
served. can it hope 10 secure the
confidence OF the people. 1t cannot. as
the Rcgisir, would have IL do, carry water
on both it. shoulders on every question.
II cannot hope to steal into power by the
policy of sncakism-by saying: "Don't
talk 20 loud. Let us say little. Let IT,
not speak until We must. Let us cry
''thicin and conceal intention" II the
Register would. it might learn from the
result Of the Connecticut election lessons
of political wisdom by which it might
