prcferences II felt perfectly Tildcn could carry
Tho state OF New York he would very likely be my
choice With Hendricks, we think, we can
carry Indiana. Davis is considered bv many likely
to carry Illinois, Indiana and possibly Wisconsin.
There objections the nomination Of DAVIS because

pagn OF 1872 While all three are personally good
men, matters may yet transpre rendering IL undesira-
Die nominate either For instance, article In TO-

continues as at present Tilden may DO my choice
Il is Impossible to speak definitely, however. Much

not shaped themselves 80 can decide. regard David
Davis as good man, a very good man, but

majority OF the party in this State and present

My pre- rs between Tiden and DAVIS. II IL not
based as much on their position on the financial qucs-
tion, because tho views OF either would preserve
the credit aud good faith OF the country.
1den has demonstrated that he Will not tolerate

Is Tildcn hrst and Davis second, always subject to

stands DO higher IN my estimation Than Iildcn ana
DAVIS.
THIRD DISTRICT.
J. H. EARNEST, SnclIsburg, farmcr-My first
choice present Tlden. am not yet prepared TO
VINO viii be my second choice. II will in all proba-
bty be Hendricks or Davis or Bayard. The adoption
OF either OF these candidates will aepend upon
considerations which cannot yet DO applied so u IS
useless 10 talk about second choice now Personally,
have leaning toward Hendricks and Bayard, and II
we're 10 consult my feelings alone | don't know
but either would be my hrst choice ia preference 10
ruden: but Il seems that the Convention was . nsrd
money one and that Gilden was their choice, and
have the support Of the united delegation until il is
Hendricks or Bayard will very likely get our vote.
When the President controls SO much power ~ he now
does Is IS time 70 look .ut Tor good map. ! do not

g. These professional politicians are dong their best
10 ra,vanize this issue active lfc but from what

see a good sound man mated for President who, if
ecctc will so control the power Of the government
10 direct II the public good and not the benefit OF
the politicians II such man appears he 10 70 have
my support.
sa-My personal Judgment Is In favor Of Tilden, whom
regard Ne q man who would secure AZ honest and abe
an ADMINISTRATOR any person IN the country. But
events have during the past few days which
pretty well convince that he cannot be elected and
that 70 nominate him would be something like attempt
Ing 20 row up Niagara River On looking over the he'd

changed shall support DAVIS There Is no other can
udate among those named, except Hancock, that
would care 10 vote for.
