THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOB PRES
1DENT.
Tho Democratic party in tho State OF New
| York havo boen abls to unite in recon-
| mcndation that Gov. T11.DEN bo nominated
for President by the st. Louis Convention,
and this uuanimity promises to DO fruitful Of
SUCCESS. II tho nomination in tho Convcn-
ton WAS obtainablo by minority vote, tho
| indications nre that T1LDEN would DO Ger.
| tnin1y nominated. But tho Damocrn.ic party
| has the law requiring two-thirds to make a
! nomination, and therefore it is always casicr
| to defeat than to mako nomination.
The New York Democracy, however, will
| 60 to ST. Louis with tho declaration that the
nomination Of T11Drx will insure beyond all
| question tho vote Of tho State of Now York,
| Which vote is imporatively necessary to tho
| election Of Democratic President. This
assurance will probably be also givon by the
/ delegates from Connecticut, New Jersey,
| the three States on tho Pacific, and Colorado.
| No delegate from those States will undertake.
| to guarantee tho electoral vote Of either Of
these States in favor of any other candidate
who may be named,
The Confetlerates Of the Southern States
rs whole caro more for snccess than for can
didatos or platforms. With the exception Of
perhaps Missouri, thoy are entirely indiffer-
ent Oh the currency question, aud will vote,
in preference to all othord, for the nlen who
will offer with tho greatest degree Of certaiu-
ty the vote Of tho State Of New York, with
out which tho chances Of my Democratic
nomination aro n failure. Governed by this
| great consideration Of having man who chn
give some ASSURANCE Of beng elected, tho
Southern or former slaveholding States
will, in all probability, atter tho prelin,-
inary skirlnisl,, settlo down on TlLpEs The
whole vote of tho Convention will be JG9, OF
which 24G will DO two-thirtls. T11nEs will
hare, therefore, tho vote Of tho lato Blayclold-
ing States, 135 tho vote Of Now England, 10;
tho vote of California, Oregon, Nevada, and
Colorado, IL; the vote of New York (35),
| mad New Jersey (9); making total Of 22;G,
leaving him to get but 10 more votes in Con.
yention from tho Northwestern States. The
delegates from Georgia hayo been instructed
for T1IpEs. Many OF tho leading Democratic
/ papers in tho Southern 6tatos, including thu
Louisville Couritr-Jouraa{ md tho Mobile
Register, earnestly support tho nomination Of
T1LDEH. All the Southern Democratic States
seek delivcrnnce from tho rule Of the Repub-
lican party, aud they will be unanimous in
tho Convention for the man who they may
think can curry enough Northern States to
! DO elected.
Assuming, therefore, for the occasion, TINT
T11pgA will be nominated ct st. Louis, it
becomes Of some interest to the Republican
party m to the strength which he will have
i'll tho Presidential canvass. III the fsst
place, It tnay DO considered TINT he will carry
nj tho Lutte slayeholding States except, pos
a'b!y, South Carolina. Excluding tho hitter
State, hs may count upon Ill electoral votes
as certain, leaving him 81 vo.os to render lis
election secure. Or these ho will expect the
Ii votes Of the hard-1noney States OH the
Pacific and also Of Colorado. This mnkos
tho vote Of tho stato Of Now York the great
objective point OF tho Democratic policy,
Connecticut is eertaiu Tor any hard.money
Democratic candidate.
