The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-06-10
PUBLIC OPINION.


It seems that Harvey resigned his
place IN the New York Custom house
two or three weeks ago, in anticipation
Of the necessity Of testifying In this
Kerr case. So Mr.. Bristow il relieved
Of the necessity Of kicking him out.

United we win. Then, il there are
good reasons why one man or another
should not be nominated, let Us have
them. The people are tied up to no one
man. Il Hartford Times Dem
Our party and personal predictions
are in favor OF the nomination and
election Of Bayard, in preference to all
others named or to be named. We pre-
his fathers were before him because he
is man Of unsullied reputation, and
above reproach.. Consistent and firm
and faithful In his politics, he IL recog-
nized as the soul OF honor.-(San Anto-
MO Herald (Dem.)
So long as Bristow remains in Came
ron Cabinet. with the Administration
organ throwing around it's threats at
''half-wHy and weakened concilia-
tors, there 10 no use in associating his
name with q reform movement or any
other. An opponent Of a corrupt Ad-
ministration does not usually remain In
It as not only q oOnsenting but an act
ing member Boston Post Dem.)
With confidence we expect the name
OF Gov. Parker to grow In favor and in
strength to the date OF the st. Louis
Convention, and we think 1t not i'm
probable that the nation may thence
rally around the banner OF Jerseymen.
-[New Brunswick Times (Dem.)
The Republican party, divided as 1t is
upon the currency question, will be
found firmly united Ia the effort to per-
petuate power in the corrupt hands
which now WELD it, or In the hands OF
successors equally corrupt. Shall the
Democratic party permit its diversity OF
opinion on the same question to stand
in the way of united, persistent. tri-
umphant opposition to this Republican
Bayard would be more likely to carry
New York than Gov. Tilden. He has
not personal enemy in the whole State.
In his public speeches out OF it before
the people, and In his admirable letter
to the Democratic Committee OF Maine,
the record OF Senator Bayard In favor
OF hard money Is quite aS clear and
frank and pold as that OF Gov. Tilden !;
while his course in the Senate, under
the most trying circumstances, has been
honest and patriotic and
decentralization Francisco Herald
(Ind.)
Considerations Of expediency may
prompt and urge repeal OF the two
thirds rule; but 80 far as the principle
that majority shall arbitrarily control
q minority is concerned, we are inclined
to think that a good deal can be said In
favor OF maintaining it. Requirements
OF two-thirds OF q convention to nomi-
nate Is not setting aside or violation OF
the majority principle, but merely. the
extension OF 1t to q nearer approach to
pure Democracy. Two-thirds are
good many, but they are no more than

The World of the oath inst. contained
q long and strong article in favor OF
Gen. Hancock for the Presidency. There
is no doubt the General would be a
strong candidate, and there are points
in his public career that recommend
him strongly to the, confidence Of the
people. The record he made in Texas
and New Orleans, when he laid his
sword on the Constitution, Is not second
to that of any man in the country, and
his conduct there proves that his mill
tary training has not untitled him for
civil government.-[Do (Pa)

The World, in reviewing the Demo
cratic convention recently held at Tren-
ton, makes this complimentary state
ment: "a Democratic administration
has made Democratic reform in New
Jersey popular, and the State thereof
presents to the Democracy OF
the country the name of that eminently
Democratic statesman, ex
Gov. Joel Parker" The sentiments thus
by the World are but the ut
terances Of the masses. Let the st.
Louis convention but follow this leading

or the next four years will be every

The Democrats will go into the con-
est with 131 of the 1853 electoral votes
to them, viz. Alabama, 10; Ar
6; Delaware, B.; Florida, 4;
Georgia, II Kentucky, ~; Louisiana,
); MARYLAND, 8 Missouri, Is; Missis-
,ippi, 8 North Carolina, 10; Tennessee,
u; Texas, 8; Virginia, IL; West Vir-
yinia, 5-fifteen States, with 131 votes in
ILL., It requires 1856 votes to make a ma
ority, SO that the Democracy will need
a votes more than they have already
assured to them. Where shall they get
hem, and how? This is the problem.
This is, in truth, the only question be-
'ore the Democracy, and they ought not
% permit the discussion Of any other in
heir councils. 1t is well to remember
hat the party may lose both Indiana
md Ohio, and yet be successful, pro-
rided the four States of New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and CALIFORNIA;
If them hard money States-are carried.
Who, then, can carry these doubtful
States without losing either Of the fif-
,een Democratic States? The question
suggests two persons, and perhaps only
;wo-Gov. Tflden, OF New York, and
sx-Gov. Parker, Of New Jersey. Thur
nan would be third had not his recent
by the Allen faction placed
aim at an apparent disadvantage in his
