to the st. Louis Convention are said to
be strongly in favor of the nomination Of
GOV. Seymour of that State, and Will
thus strongly oppose Tilden's nomina1
tion.
-Goyernor Hartranft has been to-
Washington and dined with Mr.. Blaine,
whereat all the Quidnuncs are amazed.
They pretend to see wonderful results
from such conjunction Of Presidential
stars.
The various county Republican con-
ventions in Ohio show strong prefer
Ience for the nomination of Gov. Hayes
to the Presidency. The candidates OF
that party are now narrowed down to
uayes, Bristow and Blaine.
The complete vote of New Hamp-
shire shows an aggregate of 80,2S6 votes
cast, being 1850 more than were cast in
1875. The Republican majority for Gov
ernor in 1878 was 172; this year it is
1851, a Republican gain of 1865.
1t the Cincinnati candidates should
happen to be Bristow and Jewell, the
New Haven Palladium thinks Connecti-
cut could be relied upon tor ten thou
sand Republican majority. Some folks
think Connecticut rather a promising
State.
The fearful Belknap revelations have
contributed SO largely to the settlement
OF the question, Who is to be our next
President? that the New York World
sees clearly that the Democratic can
didate-whoeYer he may he-has q sure
thing OF it.
So far as any expression of prefer
ence for the Presidential nominee goes,
among the Connecticut Republicans.
Blaine seems to stand foremost; but
both Hayes aud Bristow are spoken OF
fayorably, but no mention made of either
Mortonor Conkling.
1t is stated that most of the papers
known as independents" favor tie
nomination of BristoW, and but few oil
any other class'do SO. Perhaps this fact
is rather complimentary to Bristow; but
whether they can secure his nomination
or election is quite another question.
The Boston Journal processes to be
easily pleased, saying-there are two
names before the country which will
look well on the National ticket, in what
ever order they are placed, and many
who would prefer "Blaine and Bristow"
will be satisfied with "Bristow and
Blaine" or gice verSa.
The Democrats State Convention OF
Pennsylvania, held on the 22d, de-
nounced the fisherman sham'' resump-

lderisiye laughter, and was laid on the
table.
| The Connecticut State election is tc
be held next Monday, April 9. Tie con
| test is warm, and the result as between
the parties is doubtful. The Democrats
would probably carry the State were il
not for their dssensions or the currency
question. There is not much. speech
making by either side, but a good deal
ofquiot working to bring out q full vote
| The New York Times says
| "The next President OF the United States
should be q caDable administrator, clear
sighted statesman, and a fearless and ener
| getc reformer. He must be a man whose pas
public life needs neither apology nor defense
because it speaks for itself. He must he fre,
from all sympathy or connection with the influ
ences which have thrown discredit on the goo
name alike Of the party and the people"
Rutherford y. Hayes is exactly tina
man.
