lucky Democrats have met in ven
ton, elected a delegation to st. Louis

ciples. The only name familiar to us
among the delegates at large is that OF
Henry Wattarson, the editor of the
Louisville Courier Journal. If he,
however, can be considered a 'speci
men brick" the kentucky delegation
will cast its vote for Samuel j. Tiluen,
of New York. The platform, as far as
it touches the vital question of the cur
rency, it is not sufficiently positive to
entirely satisfy US. The remarks Of
Watterson and Of Breckenridge would,
however, indicate that they mean hard
money as soon AS they can get it.

But it must be remembered that the
Times is opposed to Conkling, and goes
ven so far as to say he cannot carry

This would increase his strength to 254
votes. The Republican press in the

Herald-a shrewd observer of the
popular understands Blaine's only
strength as a positive strength, and
prophesies hat he will fail OF a nomi
nation unless he "a into convention

gle, as we view it, is narrowed down
to a contest between Blaine and COnk.

The Times is clear that the revolt
against Tilden has more than a per-

doubt the sincerity OF Chief Justice
Church's disclaimer of any desire TO
zee a Democratic candidate taken from
New York; for the Justice shares with
Seymour latent symptoms OF presi-
dental fever, and like him can not
speak upon the subject save with many
mental reservations; but the declara-
ton of the Albany conference against
the preten>ions that have been set M
in behalf of this state and in favor OF
conceding the Democratic nomination
to the West seems TO rave u wider
meaning, and one that is partly eluci
dated by the mention Of Hendricks and
