With Tilden it will be very Difficult

We will see Tilden to hell befor
we will support him.-W. d. Hill
Chairman Ohio delegation.
The Democrats of Indiana cannot b
bought to support Tilden.--John +

have every reason to believe he can
not carry New York.-De Wit C
Littlejohn.
Any good Democrat can carry
Brooklyn by 1900 majority. Tildel

-E0ttOT Argus.
Tilden's nomination will certainl,
impair the chances Of a Democratic
victory in New York, and will, in al
probability, insure the party's defeat

The Tilden men admit that, with
Tilden, we must lose Ohio and Indi.
ana. From their own admission,
think it foolish to take Tilden and
gain nothing. West Virginia is a
unit against Tilden.-Col. N. 8. Hay-
mon, Of Vest Tiryinia. ait
If Tilden is nominated, the green
back men will organize and nomi-
nate candidate ON greenback plat
form in less than thirty days. The
Kansas Democrats will utterly refuse
to support Tilden.-Col. Eaton, Of the
Kansas delegation.
The reason Of our opposition to
Tilden is solely because he is no lon
ger popular in New York, and cannot
carry the State against Hayes in No
vember. The New York people are
tired of Tilden. Ti!den can't win in
New York.-Augustus ScheN.
The reference seems to be inevita-
BILE, that not being able to command
the cordial support of his own party
or to gain strength from any other
sources, he will not be able to carry
this State, and that his nomination
would endanger the whole ticket
Erastus Corning.
Think he cannot carry New York.
Those who claim that he is unassaila-
BILE do not know him, or if they do,
then they are quite as dishonest as he
is. He has been counsel for all the
broken down corporations:with which
New York has been afflicted for q
long term of years, and out of them
he has not come with clean hands,
August Belmont.
1t would be in my judgment haz-
ardons to nominate a man at st. Lou
is opposed by such men in the Demo-
cratic party as Corning, Parker, Ma
gee, Walker, and others throughout
the State Of that character who are
opposedto Mr.. Tilden. We want the
help Of AL Democrats to carry the
Statc. It viii be suicidal to ignore
this fact.-Gen. S'ocnm.
The Democratic party should not
nominate Tilden, for it cannot posi-
bly, elect him. It would be useless to
make fight against Hayes in the
West with Tilden with his record on
the financial question. II Indiana
and Ohio go Republican in October,
the country will go Republican in
November. 1t is all nonsense to talk
about losing Ohio and Indiana in Oc-
tober and electing Democratic Pres
ident afterward.-Gen. San, CARY.
Under no circumstances that could
be imagined would we accept Tilden.
If Tilden should unfortunately re-
ceive the nomination, Hayes would
beat him in Ohio by 6O,OOO to 10000
majority, and in Indiana he would be
beaten by from 10000 to 25,OOO. II
any other man that has been named
should be nominated ON q platform
declaring in favor of an immediate
repeal Of the resumption act, we can
carry Ohio by $4,000 majority. We
would not even accept Tilden ON a
platform with that plank in it, because
the man and the platform would neu-
tralize each other.-Gen. Steadman,o,
Ohio delegation.
The kid-gloye Democracy, Of which
Tilden is the chief, have not the con-
fidenee and cannot obtain the votes
of the masses. His nomination will
disrupt aud disorganize the Demo.
cratic party. 1t means defeat.-Cin-
cinnati Enquirer.
The Republican newspapers are be.
ginning to quote some of the remarks
the Enquirer has lately made concern
ing Samuel J.sTilden. So far as we
have observed, thus far, the citations
are made with commendable aneara-
cy. But these journals we are pleased
to observe, are not quoting from the
Enquirer any opinion hostile to the
Democratic party, which will be do
ing business when Mr.. Tilden is nc
more.-Cincfnndti Enquirer.
Alex. Mcclure, of the Philadelphia
Times, says the nomination of Tilder
was defiant disregard of hitherto
potential voice of the Central States
which give the key notes of victory
in October, and thinks that under the
most favorable circumstances he will
lose one hundred thousand Demo.
cratic votes, and possibly thrice as
many.
Tildcn's friends claim that he car.
ried the State in 1874 by $1,000 major.

37S, 600, which gives him majority o,
$4,000 only. Last year majority Of
A,8l0 is claimed for his ticket. Hi
vote was $4,000, against $4,000
which gives him some 1000 majority
