The New Orleans Democrat., 1876-06-24
PUBLIC. OPINION.

The New York Herald is confident
that the Republicans will "carry the
war into Africa" and arraign the Demo
Gratis as disloyalists. They are ito be
accused OF impairing the public credit
by advocating repudiation OF q settled
purpose to throw down the barriers
erected for the protection OF the freed
men, and of relentless design to put
the Government under the control OF
the old Southern oligarchy; to turn
back the hands on the dial, destroy the
results OF the war, nullify the consti-
tutional amendments, and put our poll
tics in the same condition as when the
Southern whites ruled the country by
the aid OF Northern doughfaces" The
conclusive answer to such declarations
is the choice Of q candidate whose name
Is "Uncle Sam" No Southerner or
quasi si-Southern can be touched, and q
Western man, at the head OF the ticket,
would alarm the mOneyed classes,
whom we can't do without. It must be
Tilden and Hendricks r. News and

The Republicans have rejOiced so sin
cerely over the escape from the noml-
nation of Blaine, that they have not
taken into full consideration the oppor-
tunitv that was lost in the failure to
nominate Bristow. We have not
changed the opinion so often expressed
during the late Presidential canvass,
that Bristow was the candidate, whose
nomination would be equivalent to an
election. The battle has yet to be won
for Hayes and the difficulty OF his po-
sition is, that he cannot profit by the
hostility Of the President, as Bristow
might have done, and that the policy OF
the Administration in the campaign is
not likely to be potent for good Gin

The TiIden and Hendricks ticket is
taking like wildfire. The Montgomery
4drertiser and the Mobile Register say
it has been we'll received in Alabama.
The New York World, at one time op-
posed to Tilden, now candidly acknowl-
edges that Tilden is the coming man,
ing received with general favor; and the
Louisville Courier Journal: "The city
OF Louisville Is ablaze for Tilden and
Hendricks. The popular feeling Is solid
and earnest In this direction" We be-
liove we can say with certainty that the
Democracy Of Memphis regard such q
nomination with favor, and would sup
port such ticket harmOniously.-

In the Cincinnati Convention, New
York delegate moved that recess OF
thirty minutes be taken between the
ballots. This proposition was regarded
as favorable to those who wanted to
"sell OUT" The Rhode Island delega-
tion proposed to add "that the chair
man OF each delegation should be or
dered to label his delegation with its
price, and announce whether the price
was wanted in cash or country produce" !"
This was q sQuelcher, and the New York
man subsided. Il Albany Argus (Dem. }
Hayes respectability cannot be made
q cloak to cover up such fostering Re-
publican sores as Belknap, Babcock,
Robeson, and Blaine. The people will
not forget that the party which nomi-
mates Hayes is the one which has foster
ed Grantism and brought disgrace on
the American name. There can be no
effective reform so long as the Republi-
can party Is in power, with its we'll oiled
machinery kept running by an army OF
officeholders. IN. Y. Sun Qnd.)
