New York.


Our neishbcr OF the Wing makes good
,oin. in saving that since Mr.. TnDEN with his
;mmcnsc wealth has suffered the W0T9d ana
the Express in his own city to be bought by
his enemies. it is not ut al likely that he has
any knowledge OF the efforts Of some OF his
silly friends 10 buy up newspapers in the
South and elsewhere by offering to pay
them three dollars and half for
publishing articles IN favor OF TIL
DEN from other journals. The facts that
the World and the Express were allowed
10 go over 10 the enemy shows how strong
must be the conviction o? Mr.. TILpEN and
his friends that he IS invincible i'll the
Emnirc State. When we sec the Times, the
leading Republican daily, Harper'S Weekly
the leading Republican weekly, and the
Tribune, The leading Independent Republic
can daily. all day after day denouncing
Mr.. CoNEI.ING without convincing any Re-
publican either in that State or elsewhere
that Mr.. CoNELING i not in New ork the
strongest Republican candidate that could
be run Tor President, we are surprised at
s~""NN
friends in the South. seem to attach 10 the
dcscrtion OF Mr.. TlLDEN by few disap-
pointed men in New York who profess TO
be Democrats. It has been clearly shown
that these men were opposed to Mr.. IiLDEN
when hn was elected Governor in 1874 by
1iitv thousand majority. Everybody knows.
TOO. that at that election TILDEN beat by TINS
immense majority General J0NE 4. DIN,

Republican party in New York State. In

Journal, whilst affecting importantly rs be-

have interviewed day after day first one and
then another personal enemy OF Governor
TuDE>'s keeping up. TO the unnitiatcd. and
to the casily-tccciycd TidcnitcS, an appear
ancc OF inparlia!ty by interviewing also a
friend q the great Rc!ormcr,S, and pub
fishing together what both the 1'ildcntcs
and the anti-I'jldcnites have 10 say rs to his
popularity. This sort OF impartiality can
be illustrated to the people OF VIZ
rinia by suppoSing that We should nave
daiiv a Democratic opponent Of Gov
crnor NsMrER's and one OF his friends
interviewed and should publish the
rrports al these interviews Is indicating
whether Governor Ki:MPER could carry this
State in case he were nominated Tor I'rcSl-
dent. Now, we believe that Governor
kEMpEn has. relatively TO the number OF
Democratic voters in the two States, twice
as many enemies inside OF his own party III
virginia rs Governor TLDEN has inside Of
his own party in New York, and yet we do
not doubt Tor Il moment that Governor
KgApEp. If nominated for President, would
carry Virginia by twenty thousand ma
iorty.
But perhaps the strongest proof OF Gov
crnor TupES's known popularity is to be
found in the fact that even his enemies ca
pcct him to run Tor Governor next fall IL he
shall not run for President. He can be
elected Governor seems 10 be the argument,
but he cannot carry t,Ic State As Il candidate
for the presidency. To state the fact is to
discrc,,it all the attempts OF the anti-TIL-
DEN Democrats 20 make the country believe
that Mr.. TlIpES cannot carry New York as
q candidate for President.
How little effect the efforts OF Tammany
Hall have had upon the people OF the coun-
try at large may be inferred from the action
OF the Wisconsin Democrats, who on wed
ncsdav sent seventeen TILDEN delegates TO
the st. Louis Convention. These western
men, right under HENDnICKS's nose so to
speak. threw aside the sectional question,
and gave their support to New Yorker
Cannot the South follow this good cXam-
pie. II it will. TILDEN may be nominated
on the first ballot.
