PRESIDENTIAL NOTES.


tor Conkllng is Grants candidate for the
presidency. Grant can nominate himself
or any body that he chooses.
McArthur's Euquirer SAYS that T. A. Hen
bricks, Of Indiana, and Thomas Ewing, of
Ohio, have been suggested for the presi-
dency and vice presidency. That would
make noble ticket.
A Conkling club was organized at Rome,
New York, on Saturday evening, and reso-
luiions were passed nominating the senator
for the presidency, because she is Justly en-
titled and particularly fitted to exalt
station which the names of Washington,
Lincoln and a Grant sdorn."
If any one were 10 suggest Blaine, of
Maine, and Harrison, OF Indiana, for ticket,
perhaps it would reconcile a Hoosier some
what to continuing Morton in the Senate.
But, then, Ohio has aspirations. In order to
crafty them, WasLburne, Of Illinois, and
Taft, of Ohio might fill the bill pretty well.
Chicago Tribune.
The Cincinnati Enquirer is bound 20 de-
feat Tilden, Hendricks and Thurman. With
these three out of the way, 1t evidently has
hopes that Allen may step in ana carry off
the nOmin asiOn Toledo Blade. The Blade
dOesn'5 understand the Enquirer. We are
attending 20 our own busne-s-pYeaching
the good word aud watching the states On.
Gin. Enquirer.
Has the special exertion of the Times to
prove that Hendricks is the magnetic name
that is to illuminate the democratic presi-
Dental ticket any reference to the candi-
dacy of Norton? 1t is the special claim of
MOrtOn's friends that il Hendricks is the
democratic candidate. Morton must be the
candidate of the republicans, in order to
give them Indiana. How is thst?-Cincin-
natl Commercial.
There is no doubt that the less partisan
managers of both political parties would
feel easier in their minds ii they could put
a gag upon the bumptious brethren in Ohio
and Indiana. As the Springfield Republican
puts it: "If both parties could fence them
of and fence them out for the next year
things would go along very smoothly. But
between Hendricks and Morton aud Pendle-
ton and Thurman aud Hayes, and the con-
tinued local tenderness for the rag baby,
alter everybody else is pretty much weaned,
they are making a mess of IL in both camps.
What gives them power to do this is that
their votes are likely to be necessary to
elect a president. Nobody else can stand
either their candidates or their platforms,
yet If they can't have them they threaten to
play the very devil with tie result"
Gov. Hendricks seems TO be gaining some
strength as presidential candidate in the
South, and the prospect is that, when he
starts on his Southern tour next month, he
will receive general demonstrations of popu-
larity. The Columbus (Gs.) Enquirer says
OF him: believing the candidate will be
from the West, We look upon Gov. Hen
dncks, of Indiana, as the coming man, aud
claim for him all the popular quality and fit
ness necessary to make successful race.
He IS gentleman of uDblemished private
,fo ~
and senator. II we mistake not, popular
opinion looks to the West for the candidate
this time, the last two being from New
York, with unfortunate results. New York
Tribune.
We place at the head of our editorial col
umns to-day the names of Hendricks and
Curtin as candidates for president and vice
president OF the United States, subject to the
decision of the democratic national con-
vention. 1t is ticket that will carry Penn
sylvanis, Ohio and Indiana, and every
Southern state except the colored state of
South Carolina. 1t is the ticket that will
win-the centennial harbinger of peace on
earth aud good will to man. 1t is a ticket
that will remand the public thieves to pri-
vete life and replace them with honest men,
Elected-honess, patriotic men everywhere
will hail it as the savior OF the country, and
! old men-like ancient Simeon-can bless
God at its redemption and salvation and de-
/ part in peace.-Goshen Democrat.
AS the place in which to hold the National
Democratic Convention, Cincinnati should
not be terror to any of the democratic
presidential candidates. Tilden is as likely
to be nominated here as he is anywhere else.
He has two friends in the Eighteenth Ward.
Bsyard has as many advoca'es In this city
| as in any other 10 the United States He
has considerable strength in Cumminsville.
Mr.. Thurman ought not to be so fearful of
having the convention meet in the chief city
of his own state. He would have welcome
on Third street. The friends of neighbor
Hendricks should not avoid Cincinnati. The
governor is almost as well known in this
city as in iRnapolis-perbaps bet
ter. OF course this would be in bis
favor. He should not be intimidsted by
the fact that the Cincinnati Times calls him
Oily Cannon Hendricks, for it is a republi-
can newspaper and still predicts his nomi-
ma ion. Nor should he pay any attention
to the story that Senator Robertson, OF
South Carolina, tells, likening the Indiana
governor to a sable philosopher and trspper
on his plantation, who remarked: "Dese
yer common niggers sots dere triggers to
cotch de coon q comm, but sots mine Ia
cotch him jess de same comm or gwiDe.'
Cincinnati is Governor Hendricks spot
He could concentrate all his friends in Ohio
and Indiana upon this city. The convenr
ton should be held here.-Cincinnati En-
quirer.
