Tilden and tho Democrats.

GFrom regular correspondent OF the Tribune.I
ALBANY, May 24.-Certainly no one sus-
Dcctcd ex-senator A. P. Laning OF being q
Tildcn man. He was one OF the ablest and
most answering opponents OF the canal
measures in the Senate Of 1915; owed his de-
feat for denomination, accordingto the popu-
lar belief, to the opposition OF Governor
Tilden and his friends conducted half
hostile campaign Of his own against the
State ticket last fall, and is at present the
counsel Of George d. Lord. Nevertheless,
your correspondent met him in the Delavan
House to-day, and casual inquiry elected
the following views upon the presidential
campaign. Mr.. Lanng said that he believed
that Governor Tilden would be the nominee
at ST. Louis. He certainly has the State del
egation, whatever may be said about divi-
sions and cnmities, and he has good, Jealous
workers among the delegates-lnen who will
not merely compromise with their con-
sciences and vote once or twice for him and
then give him up, but men who will work
hard for him. The people are certainly for
him. All the counties west OF CayuSa
Bridge, or the Onondaga line, are heartily
in favor Of his nomination, and these are
counties that are very generally supposed
to have been under the canal-ring influence.
There is no division in Buffalo now, and
after the nomination there certainly will be
none.
In answer to the question, what would DE
the chance OF Governor Tilden carrying
New York il he were nominated, MIR. La
ming said he would be almost sure to carry
it by Il very handsome majority.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1876-05-31
No COMPROMISE.

There can be no compromise 1T st. Louis.
There can be nothing but fight, and either
victory or defeat for the Democratic
party. OF course, ii were the very madness
OF the moon to nominate a southern man for
President. He would beincyitably doomed
to defeat. TO nominate one would be to be-
tray the Democratic party into the hands OF
the Republicans. Itwould be AUGUST BEL
MONT selling out the party because the Re-
publicans are more worthy to be trusted on
financial questions than the Democrats.
Nor will the Democratic States OF the North
consent to nominate western man, or one
whose views on finance would afford the
eastern Democrats an excuse for indifier-
cnCc.
There is but one course left. Ii the situ;e
ton continues until June 18th to be rs it is
ROW, the southern Democrats must go to st.
Louis and, refusing to reidopt the two-thirds
rule, render the nomination OF TILDEN GER
tain beyond doubt. TO allow such a rule TO
be adopted when Ohio has sent up such a
platform and such candidate us she has TO
that Convention would be TO imperil unne-
cessarily the success OF the Democratic
party.
Firmness, courage, capacity, political sa-
gacity, ability to lead-thesc must be the
characteristics OF the men whom Virginia
is TO send to st. Louis. These should be
the characteristics sought for by all the
southern States. The country is in peril.
+" Look to the South" Here, said the late
HORACE GREELEY, are :" the shrewdest poll
ticians in the world" By shrewdness we
that practical common-sense,
that dcyotcdness to the public interests, and
that self-abnegation which qualify men to
be leaders In times like these.

We give our own views IN 1ull To-Day.
But the following article from the State OF
yesterday afternoon states the case i'll so
few words and with so much clearncss that
we give it, and endorse it in its entirety:
THE VIRGINIA CONVENTION.
Nothing OF more Importance than the
action Of our Virginia Convention and our
delegates at st. Louis can now engage the
attention Of the press or the people.
The discussion OF these things so fully
made bv our contemporaries has therefore
been altogether pleasing to lis. 1t has been
conducted in the right spirit, and it must be
Of service. We are all aiming at the same
object: the restoration Of good government,
pure administration, and equal justice to
States. communities, and individuals. The
only point of difference is as to the best
road to our object. In regard to this the
State has definite opinions.
To us it seems plain that any alliance
with, any failure to disayow sympathy with,
imitation would be fatal to lis. And that for
the reason that without the northern DEM
ocratic States we must fail OF success.
Ohio thrust the money question into the
canvass. and thereby made it impossible
that the Democratic party can carry both
OHIO and New York. Ohio we can do with
out: New York we cannot do without.
Consequently, the whole platform OF the
State is, Cut loose from Ohio; and
whilst we care not silver whether Tiden,
Bavard, Hendricks, Hancock, Parker, Ran
dolpl, or English be the man, what we are
reasonably sure of is that who ever he be
he must be capable of carrying New York,
New jersey, and Connecticut, or we will
none OF him. No man or set OF men out
side OF the States named can decide who
best meets this essential condition, and, to
sum llp the matter, we believe that the Nlr-
ginia Convention should declare, IN short
platform, tlfat it has no sympathy with any
policy but that OF maintaining the credit OF
the Government us TO all Its promises,
whether in the form Of currency or bonds;
that il demands reform i'll administration
and adherence to constitutional government,
and the full rights of all men and all COM
munities under the Constitution and the
law. With such platform our delegates
should be sent to st. Louis fettered by no
declaration Of preference fer individual cam
didatcs, but understanding that they are to
| inquire diligently who can be most relied on
to carry the northern Democratic States, to
concentrate upon that man, and to use all
| their influence at st. Louis toward freeing
the Democratic cause from the evil Of Ohio
theories.
Such we believe to be demOnstratable as
our best policy.
| We must declare for ourselves and the
South the principles we stand on, and we
must let the northern Democrats decide for
us who the man is that can best lead us to
triumph on those principles.

rs,,aau q . Bitter Pall.,'.

Don't you know that Tilden is bitter
pill for as to swallow? We so for him LOT
no other reason than that he is the man 70
lead the country out of her troubles-hei is
the man who can be elected. Now, look at
the cts.-D;spatch Of this morning.
We have looked at the facts as presen.eau
by our friend with even more than ms
wonted force (all concede his ability In put
ting things), and particularly Mt this TACT
VIZ, that this year not one single delesa q.
has been appointed from any State 10 o''
Louis who is known to be for Hancock, ;.
Why, this granting it to be true, which it
is mott is the most encouraging fact OF AL all
East and West must come into violent COLL
sion as to Tilden or Bayard as. Thurman,
Allen, or Hendricks, and therein, as we We
have SO often said, lies the opportunity Of
that great national centennial name w onIn

name, as we honestly believe-nay' as we
Eno,o-that can bring harmony ana recon-

Governor Tilden's strength is moral as
we'll rs material. II there is any other
Democrat in whom all these elements cen
ire SO completely, the friends of Governor
Tilden will gladly unite in a calm survey.
They have no desire to dictate. They have
no wish to control by numerical power. 1t
would be suicidal to attempt to do so; but
even if it were not, the disposition is en-
tirely lacking. The suggestion OF Governor
Tilden's name is the furthest possible re-
move from any selfish prompting, any de-
sire to aggrandize individuals, or sections,
or States. II elected, he will be the repre-
sentative oY"the Democracy OF the entire
country, as in the canvass he will be the
exponent Of all that is pure and true in the
Democratic organization. 'i's'a ~ ,..,

RURAL ED1ToRs-N AsBY.-[From the New
York World OF Mondayl.-A ridiculous
story is going the rounds Of the party press
to the effect that Governor Tilden has au-
thorized firm of advertising agents, rep
resented by that humorous Radical stirrer-
up of strife, Mr.. Petroleum Y. Nasty, to
send out circulars to Democratic papers IN
the South and West recommending Mr. Til
den as the very best possible candidate OF
the Democracy at st. Louis. Possibly thus
may be regarded by Mr.. Nasty as line
stroke of humor, possibly as clever device
to mislcad the rural Democracy into the pit
OF perdition. 1t is in fact very low and
discreditable trick, obviously Intended as a
foul blow at Governor Tilden; and the ru-
raj editors who are supplemented enough
to publish MIR. Nasby's extracts ana then TO
:. charge the agency $40" for doing SO, will
probably find themselves referred, when
they send intheir bills, to the money-order
office at the Confederate CROSSROADS"
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1876-05-31

Governor Tilden seems to have got a
worse blow from some Of his superservice-
able friends than any OF his enemies have yet
been able to deal him. Somebody has been
making an arrangement in his interest with
Bates IL Locke, the advertising agents, to
procure the insertion us reading-matter, in
different Democratic newspapers through
out the country, of paragraphs favorable to
his nomination. The papers concerned viii
be apt to regard the price offered $3.50 for
five notices. as very low. but to Governor
Tilden himself il will undoubtedly De

have been in entire ignorance OF the per-
