In giving its reasons for preferring Tiden,
The Richmond Dispatch makes the bodest remark about
Bayard that has yet come from Southern paper. II
says: FIRST, no Western man possibly be elected
The currency question settles that point. Secondly no
Southern possibly be elected. The war ques
ton settles this point Bayard. the sympathzer with
tho Southas to Fitz Leehe opponent Of the
Thirteenth Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments-the
enemy OF all the reconstruction measures-Bayard We
say would stand chance OF being elected than
Gen. wadc Hampton. Thirdly, other Nsw-Yorker
than Tilden can be elected. Judge Church must be

The Cincinnati Commercial rises to personal
explanation Of tue difference between is former and Its
present views about Mr. Bris;Ow. When he was made
Secretary Of tho Treasury put nm the same level
with Richardson and said that Grant alone could have
thought Of him" for the poSt Now, on being con-
with these disparaging paragraphs by other Re
publican papers it admits that they expressed It's opn
ion OF Mr. Brstow at that time. Friends then reDon-
strated that Brisow of the highest order OF
ability aud perfect integrity the best Secretary Of tho
Treasury since Hamilton and II turned out that these
representations true" Bristow has fought the
battle Of Reform within the Republican party. The
people see the greatness OF his work but do not yet
Innate the heavy odds that against him. The only
man who been in the Cabinet In many years who has
shown equal energy, hardihood and executive
forceis Edwin ~ Stanton Twas stHntorwho stamped ont
the rebellion Bristow has trampled the coTuptonss
under foot In the White House. and he has made
his name a word Of good report among the ons who
demand good government, and have been sorey bafied
by the party machines" His nomination, The CONNER
cal insists Is the way repair the Republican losses
and secure overwhelming victory. No one VIII say
arght against The Commercials honest admiration VI
Mr. Brisow but Is would be well To remember that 10
a long time since Hamilton was Secretary OF the ITeas-
ury and have been two secieafis, al fast
who's achievements not to be lightly dismissed An
Ouio paper-and above all The Cincinnati CoAemdelt-
might have made al least one exception to that remark
