No great public interest will be erdan-

We may, therefore, dismiss anxiety and
apprehension, and look upon this interest

We see nothing in the proceedings of the |
st. Louis convention to modify the opinion |
which we gave on Tuesday last. The |

Three days ago the indianapolis Sentinel
thus warned the democrats who urged the
nomination of ,rilden in the hope of saving
New York: "This policy abandons Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Indiana, and consequent

What use could democratic president be
to The south with republican senate and
house of representatives 2
We believe now, as things have turned
out at st. Louis, that Tilden can be as
easily beaten in this state as any other can

easier In The whole electoral college than

say that the republican victory is to be

Under such circumstances, it seems un-
likely Gov. Tilden will be elected unless
Gov. Hayes throws the battle away. If
the republican nominee, by his letter OF &C.
ceptanre or in any other manner, should
lead the people to believe that his election
would be the continuation of Grantism or
of the rule of the senatorial ring, if he
should faller in his position on the curren-
cy question, if he should show a leaning
toward the corrupt and disgraced elements

have so strenuously repudiated. candidate

The challenge will be accepted with all
the more readiness tina. in the St. Louis
nomination the issues of the campaign are
clearly defined. The republican renegades
whom G ". Tilden has attached to his for
tunes will not alter the character of his
candidacy. 1t is that of thorough going

MES and If weak tempoiizing with great
questions Of public policy during the era of
governmental reconstruction. With for
tune gathered from the spells of bankrupt
railroads and a reputation gained by halt
ing and halfhearted struggle on behalf of

fair representative of the best that his party
can offer in response 10 the popular de-
mand for reform, and the utmost it can do

Men YOrk Times.
Samuel J. Tildep has been nominated as
the democratic candidate for president.
Whoever may be dissatisfied with that
choice, republicans have no cause to find
fault with 1t. The nomination means that
the democrats have abandoned in advance
ell prospect of carrying the October states,
and that they place their sole reliance on
, the chances of a solid southern vote-South
Carolina eXcepted-with the addition OF
the vote OF the Pacific states, New Jersey,
Connecticut and New York. On that basis
they would have 1913 votes in the electoral
college, having eight more than a majority

, tons claim for the party candidate, and
the majority is changed into minority.
Add New York to the states which are uni
: versally conceded as republican, and the
ina jority is secured for the other side. The
democrats have, therefore, deliberately Sc
lected New York as the battle ground OF
the campaign. In spite of the bitter feud
within the party ranks, the open rebellion
of several party organs. and the defeat OF
two successive New York candidates for
, the presidency, they have once again staked
everything on their chance Of carrying this
state -Ne,c York Times.
