Audaciiy Of TiIden's workers.
A few hours here are all that is neces
ssry TO satisfy the looker-on that there is
no organized effort of great force Tor any
candidate except Tilden. The audscity
OF his supporters sweeps everything be-
tore il and makes the mention of other
names seem puriie. This Is more
prominent than IN the case
of Blaine's support 81 Cincinnati and
his friends claim almost everything, and
his nomination on the second bsilot with
the requisite two-thlrds, for the two-thirds
rule will be adhered to. II Is true the
important delegations, such as Wisconsin,
Michigan and North Carolina have prom
ised solid, or nearly solid, votes for Ill.
den, but after sll the result will depend
ON the action OF the southern delegates.

time, their views being well ex-
pressed by Governor Walker, of
