would be Ex-Governor Joel Parker,
if popular will should honor itself
by his selection.
Baton Rouge Advocate: If the South
ern delegates to the st. Louis Con
vention do their duty to the section
they represent they will escbew the
Tildens of the East and the Aliens
of the West, and seek to harmonic
all elements opposed to Radicalism
by supporting solidly Gen. Winfield
S. Hancock for President.
Page County Ia.) Democrat: Give
us Hancock and good honest plat
form and the Presidential work is
over, as he will carry three-fourths
of the States without struggle.
He has proved himselfto be states
man. and able to stand side by side
with Clay, Webster, Benton and
Jackson. That is tue kind of man
that is wanted for President.
Los Angeles (Cat) Herald: The
locomotive, Governor Tilden, that
drew the lightning train over 400
miles without stopping, is typical Of
the speed there is in the Governor.
When he starts out on the Presiden-
tial race he will make even better
time than the locomotive bearing
his name.

Republican National Convention
this year it will be well to note this
fact-tlat, starting with the whig

to the success of their case that they
take advantage Of every chance OF
escape. Well, the Grand July OF
American people has convicted
Belknap and it really doesn't matter
much what the High Court does.
Boston Herald: There is Boston
gentleman, whose name is not Null.
Iligan, but who is reputed to know
more about Little Rock matters
than all the others combined, ex.
cepting Josiah Caldwell. The com
mittee thus far has been unable to
subpoena him because of its inability
to find him; but Blaine knows where
he is, and has had All interview with
him, within a week. "Mum" is the
word between them.
N. Y. Tribune: Though there

pie of the earnestness of the party
it seems to us that only one has
been brought prominently forward
who has been so thoroughly identi
fed with political reform as to be
able to lift the party up into the
confidence of the people. That man

N. Y. Herald: It was by the
mere accident OF the exposure OIL

one-term amendment, for 10 that
case we might hope to see it adopted
at an early day.

but to vote for Chamberlain and
