occasionally you hear it mentioned, duly
discussed, then it passes by and is no more
thought of until some new banner appears
In the field, bearing fresh inscription, q
few words of comment and then no more.
IN conversation few days since with
Senator, distinguished jurist and States
man, was told that it was impossible to
s,rmjse much less say out of all this chorus
If names that was constantly going up from

He considered the name Of Bayard aa'goed
|oue in this connection. and thought he was
khe most popular man with,the party to-day.
h. is not his brain so much, as it 10. his iron,
! jnaexible will, sterling integrity, manly,
christian principles and unblemished
record which combined with his qualities of
craftsmanship make him the best man that
could be offered by the Democratic party.
The rumors that the South will put
candidate upon the ticket as Vice President
; without any shadow of truth. There are
meu here representing States of that section
tn Congress, who are broad and able men,
but they all from time to time, have ex-
pressed their unwillingness to, take any.
Euch part.
Gordon, of Georgia, one Of the number
mentioned declines any such participancy.
Lamar of Mississippi, is well content
With the honors that have already been
Conferred upon him. He states that lie
wishes 10 seek the maxim taught by Web
ter "Improve, adorn what you have,
eek no further"
Zebalon Vance, of North Carolina, is
llso spoken of in this connection, but he
positively aflirms that he will take no part
the next election other than that of an
Earnest advocacy Of the Democratic party
md its nominee, with the proviso that he is
lch man as the country needs in this its
post trying time.
1t will be seen by this that the South de-
res nothing more than the free right to
xert the suffrage of it's people for the party
its choice, seeking nothing more and no
hlsher, until the proper time shall come,
fhch its representatives do not think is at
hand yet.
lfthcre is any Grant movement in the

eFthe former is an easy prey. In the govern
