They have either got to do so or see
their city fall from the front rank Of the
growing towns Of the west to the con-
dition of poor, oppressed, poverty
stricken, unprogressive village.
Which shall it be, citizens Of St. Paul.
HOW T1LDENs NOMINATION
TAKES.
In the cities the name OF Tilden
seems to take well with the people, al
though the enthusiasm is not one tenth
what it was for Greeley four years ago.
But in Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois and
Ohio the prospect is dark. Ohio is vir-
tually given up to Hayes, by large
majority. The following extracts from
leading Democratic papers will show the
feeling that exists
The Courier will not support Mr.. Tilden for
president. Ii the platform had been the most
ultra pronunciation of greenback doctrines, we
should not support Tilden upon it. The thing
| that every westernldemocrat should strive to do
| now Is, to defeat this nominee of the democrat
ic convention. II Gen. Ewing OF Ohio, and
Hon. d. ". Voorhees,, OF indiana, prove truet to
the men OF the west we shall have greenback
candidate for president. The Courier is Of the
opinion that the greenback delegates should
Withdraw and nominate William Allen for
president, on the Ohio platform. The Courier
will support Allen. II the greenback lead
ers have the courage to respond to the Just de.
mands OF the suffering people of the west, we
must bury the democratic party in the Potter's
field. The very bones OF Jefferson and jackson
would rise in mutiny were the filthy carcass to
find seputure in the party cemetry. Let us
inscribe upon its tomb this epitaph: "It forgot
the teachings Of its iathers 1t abandoned the
time honored battle-cry, Measures, mot Men,
1t resorted to the cowardly policy of expedien-
cy, and deserted the cause Of the people, and
the people, in turn, repudiated it."-Evans-
rillc (Ind.) Courier Dem
The benefits of advertising need no longer be
doubted. The effects Of Bates 4 Lockes agency
aud Bovles' patent machine correspondence,
united with those Of the travelling strikers, re-
suited in convincing the southern delegations
that, without New York. New Jersey and Con-
necticnt. no democrats can be elected;a that
only Tilden can carry these states, SoGov !.
Tilden was nominated on the second ballot.
The southern vote was the decisive vote. It
decided that Gov. Tilden; instead Of q western
man in sympathy with the views of finance and
internal improvements. held in this section,
should be the nominee. It was great triumph
for the money power Of ths east.-Memphis
Thursday evenings Chicago Journal says:
"The democrats Of Chicago are about rs en-
thusiastic to-day as if they had been sentenced
to Joliet"
A telegram to the Chicago Times
says:
i ST. LOUIS, June 3O.-Late on last evening.
and in the most secret and cautious manner.
Gen. Stedman, Gen. Morgan, and Gen. Ewing
all three OF Ohio, visited the rooms Of the ln-
diana delegation and made most curious
proposition. This was nothing less than that
the delegates then present should urge Mr.
Hendricks not to accept the nomination Of vice
president. They urged that the ticket would
be defeated by at least 81, ,OO0 majority in Ohio
alone, and thatits defeat in the nation was
certain. They we're friends Of Hendricks, and
were strongly opposed TO his acceptinga place
thus foredoomed to disaster and presuming the
Indiana delegates also to be his friends, they
hoped, ~ representing things in proper
, light, to induce them to rescue Hendricks IL
! rescue he would accept. Gen. Williams, the
chairman Of the delegation, replied to thsla in
; terms strongly depreciaaing anything like fac
tious opposition to the action oi the convention.
and took occasion to express his regret 1t their
having made the currency question 80 decided
an issue in Ohio last year. The discussion was
then taken up by nearly all those in the room,
; and lasted perhaps half an hour, Ohioans with
drew, having signally and at all points failed.
Stedman had seconded the nomination Of Hem
bricks in the convention, and the Indiana men
were little puzzled to know Just how to put
his second aud his regret together and maket
!. them appear consistent. 1t was the almos
! unanimous conclusion that Stedman, Morgan
and Ewing had determined TO get up . soft
J money bolt in Ohio, and with . view to max
; ing it as large a. possible. to get Hendricks Of
'fof starter. The delegates coincided in the
) opinion that it was clearly Hendricks duty to
accept the nomination and resolved To 90 home
and rally the party in favor Of the ticket with
the utmost possible solidity.
The greenbackers OF Chicago have or
ganized seperate municipal ticket and
are quite hopeful Of electing it.
= Gov. Hendricks has not yet accepted
the nomination for vice-president. and it
,. is understood he makes his acceptance
contingent upon the Democrats in Con-
} gress uniting their votes to repeal the
Resumption Act. The Democrats have
J votes enough in the House to repeal the
. act, and - the st. Louis Convention de-
clared that the act oughtto 70 be At once
repealed, the Democrats of the east
] should IN good faith vote tor it, repeal.
} This Gov. Hendricks insists upon. And
now 1t turns out that the m0ney-pOwer

bers Of tie committee, having the bill
