party will be entitled to the future
support of women in State affairs unless
it makes the establishment of woman
suffrage one of its avowed objects, and
also admits women to full membership
in its organization.
Gov. Tilden has few supporters among
Il g masses in the Southwest. The fact
cannot be disguised by the strenuous
efforts of few professional politicians to
use the machine tor his benefit His
financial views are specially odious to
our people, and despite the blather of the
agents of the machine, finance is the
chief question that will enter into the
canvass.-Memphis Aualanche Dem.)

Mr.. Schurz and his friends: Except as

of these gentlemen is of little conse-

There is not the least danger that the
st. Louis convention will follow the lead
of Ohio. The meaning of this idle talk
about "the West" begins to he under
stood. Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, California,
Oregon, Nevada-they constitute the
West and their declaration in favor of
hard money will not he less emphatic
than that of New York and New Eng
land.-Utica Observer (Dem.)
Ohio has disposed of three Democratic
Presidential aspirants in one day, and it
wasn't more than an an average good day
for such game either. Uncle Allen and
Nephew Thurman pummeled each other
until there isn't enough life left in both
OF them to enable one man to face the
racket at st. Louis, and the real lesson of
Ohio is that Tilden can't be the nominee
of the party unless an open rebellion is to
be accepted.-Phiiadelphia Times Ind.
Pertinent remark by the New York
Times: "The conclusive answer to re-
formers who are ready to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket is that the Democratic party
is Indifferent to reform, and eager only
for Office, while the Republican party
gives life and force to all the reform
movements that are at work throughout
the country. A party which thus mani
tests moral strength must be better, even
from an independent" point of view,
than party that is destitute of healthy
impulses, and of all vigor save that which
is allied to groveiing partisanship."
The Democracy of Ohio are in earnest
about this matter. VIM. Allen will
steadily grow in strength in the West and |
South from this day until the 9th of
June, He is the second choice of the
friends of Hendricks. He is the fore
most candidate in the West to-day. The
proper and natural alliance of the South
is with the West, and when the 9th of
June puts in an appearance, VIM. Aliens
strength in the st. Louis convention will
surprise the Eastern lords. He is more
likely than any other man to receive the
St. Louis Cincinnati En-
2uirer.
