Gov. Tilden owes heavy debt ofgra-
ttude to the Ohio inhationists. In ac-
complishing the ruin of Senator Thur
man as a Presidential candidate they
have removed one of the Governors most
formidable competitors, and have lefthim
almost alone in the field Furthermore,
they have weakened their own influence
in the national Convention, since their
action gives the Republicans the better
chance for carrying the State next Fall.
This strengthens the claim of Tilden's
friends that the October States must be
given to the Republicans, and that can
didate must be nominated who can carry
New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
On the other 1hand, the absurd platform
will injurr the whole Democratic party,
and thus of course render victory with
any candidate much harder work,-M-

Who is it that's making war on New
York? The Cincinnati Enquirer which,
to kill Judge Thurman, inaugurated the
rag-baby mutiny, 1t was not then, as it
is now, in the pay of the Republicans. Its
success in defeating Allen made it obvi-
Gus to the Radical managers that it could
be usefully employed, and so tits sustain
ed to day by the Radical secret service
fund. Its scope of destruction, however
has been enlarged, and embraces every
Democratic leader of consequence. 1t
uses Gov. Allen, who is not in the race
at all as a blind. But it is using him
enough to make it certain that Ohio will
be lost to us. Should we go, therefore,

What some papers, think Of the wo

What some papers, think Of the work
of the Cincinnati Convention.
The Democratic Convention at Cincin-
matt Ohio was decidedly spirited affair,
and although marked with perhaps an
undue amount Of personal earnestness as
to whom should be regarded as Ohio's
choice at St. Louis, nominated good
ticket, and adopted an acceptable plat
form. The request ofthe Convention that
the four delegates at large support eX-
Governor Allen does not apply to the
forty District delegates. as they are mostly
all yet to be selected at the Congressional
Conventions and they will be either left
unnsuucted, or each district will special
ly instruct its two delegates to support
some particular candidate. The request
to the four delegates chosen at Cincinnati
will have no influence with the District
delegates, further than each one chooses
to accord it individually. Two, at least,
of the delegates at large are Thurman
men, and we incline to the opinion that a
large majority of the District delegates
will vote for him at St. Louis, PtkS6Hrg

As Governor Allen has developed no
strength outside of that state Ohio it
will doubtless be only complimentary
vote on the first ballot, after which Ohio
will most probably be cast for Governor
Hendricks, whose position on the fnanc-
ial question accords with the Ohio plat
form on the repeal ofthe resumption act
and the section opposing forced contrac-
ton or initiation, which form indeed the
material issues on the financial question

The action of the Ohio convention yes
terday, though significant as a compli-
mentary demonstration in Governor Al
lens favor, is hardly to be invested
with any national importance, only so
far as it indicates an adherence to the
line of policy set forth in the platform.
That Governor Allen will be candidate
of any considerable strength before the
St. Louis convention is nowhere believed;
such thing as his nomination is not
seriously thought Of and it is well under
stood that large number of delegates
elected stand ready to support Mr.. Thur.
man, the moment that the name of Allen
is withdrawn. In any case, we cannot
look upon the result as ominous of divi-
sion or dissensions, or as having the
slightest tendency toward disorganzation
among the Democrts of Ohio or the coun-
try at large. The friends of the Senator
would unquestionably have preferred a
victory at Cincinnati, but have noleason
to regard their failure as materially pre-
judicial to his future chances ST Louis
