Editor Demoorat--At t2 80 to-day the
labors Of the National Democratic Con.
vention terminated, aud nm adjournment
sine die followed. Though at the close
everything was harmony. there were
many adverse views aud some bitter
| feuds that required tho best efforts OF
the best men to eoneiliate when the del
egates frat came together. Tammany
opposed Tilden vigorously and its rep-
resentatives were early In the field, but
when the unanimity OF the sentiment in
| Tilden's favor became evident they ac-
quieHeed with such grace MS they could,
md will now give him something more
| than lukewartn support. The accept
nnce by Hendricks Of the second place
was simply what was expected OF him
| by his friends and by the party. IT Is
IN example that Is worthy of the man
and worthy of the Democratic party,
The juggling tricksters who eontsnded
ut Cincinnati for the first place on the
Radical ticket thought II beneath their
dignity TO accept nomination Tor an
Office that has been filled by some of
the ahlest and pi1rest OF American
patriots.
There has not been, for two decades Of
years. u National Convention that called
forth such ~ hearty feeling of good will
among both parties aud all classes OF
people rs that which has just met. On
every block one can meet well-known
Republicans who say ut Is u good
ticket aud will get my support. The
German voters Of the country will now
divide their strength with every proba-
bility of Tilden receiving the great bulk
of that vote. The general depression OF
every industry has had its natural in
iiuenee upon the honest Teuton, and he
signs for something of the prosperity
that luted him from his fatherland
u score Of years ago. The tide
of emigration has hlso now
turned the other way. many returning
TO make their bread and butter with less
exertion in the land IF their nativity.
Thinking Republicans. too, have Mt

Is impossible to sacrifice the interests OF

1T. Louis has never borne such an air

Yesterday evening when the assemhlage
on tho streets were full Of the great
event, and wild with enthusiasm over
the nomination of 1'iiden, the scene was
the most brilliant ever witnessed in the
West. The thousands on the sidewalks
were too thickly crowded for comfort.
and this not for n few blocks, but over
the whole area of the streets in this mnin
part of the city. The brilliant illuniina-
tion. the lavish display Of the flags
Of all nations, the profuse decoration Of
