Two more States held Republican Con.
ventions yesterday-viz:-New Jersey
and Alabama. Tue former was largely
composed Of Blaine men, but did not in
.truct, while the latter sent Bristow del
evation to Cincinnati. THERE'S, however,
another Alabama Convention to be held
lbv the Anti i.Wickersliam Repub!icam-l
on the 9th, and they will probably send
np a rival delegation. T4ecareful giesser
Of the Chicago Inter.OreaH, who gave
Conkling 1 votes in the West Virginia
delegation, gave AIabama.tO Morton and
Conkling-ten to each. Perhaps he had
in view the Convention Of the 2ith.
Since writing the above we have re-
port from the Tennessee Republican Con-
yention yesterday. The iriends'Of Nor
ton claim 10 Of the delegates, the BristoW
men 10, and 3 are claimed by the Blaine
men.

SENATOR BAYARD As CANDIDATE

SENATOR BAYARD As A CANDIDATE
The feeling in favor of Mr.. BAYARD as a
candidate for the Presidency is very
widespread. 1t is not confined to one
cr two States only, but crops out in nearly
all the States. In fact he appears to be a
greater favorite than any of the other
highly honorable and able gentlemen who
are talked of through the newspapers !;
and this feeling is especially strong with
the young men of the Democratic party.
Our columns will not permit as to pub
lish all that we find said in favor of Della
wares distinguished Senator. Hun
dreds of papers that are sounding his
praise and would be glad to place his
name at the head of their columns as
the Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency, never reach our sanctum, and
therefore, we could not publish all that
ia said of his ability, integrity and 1T
ness for the Chief Magistracy if we were
to undertake to do 80.
The article that we publish to-day from
the Lexington, (Ky) Daily Press, is only
one of many such like, that are being cir.
eulated in almost every state in the
Union It is so accurately true, temper
ate and just in its sentiments that we
give it place and prominence in the Ga
zKrTE every reader thereof, we know
will join us in assuring the writer that he
has in nowise, overdrawn the character
or misrepresented the sentiments Of
SENATOR BAYARD. In his home in Della
ware, this is well known and saving, and
excepting some little show of opposition
merely for the sake of party, there would
be no hostility here at all to SENATOR BAY
ARD as a candidate for the Presidency.
