Castoria. 1t is more effective than
Castor Oil and is as pleasant to take

served. The sketch was prepared by a

other exquisite news paragraphs, this

has expressed preference for Gov. Til

vote for the Great Ring Smasher on the

manifest that his nomination is impos-
sible. The feeling in favor OF Tildcn 4
nomination throughout the South Is
RAPIDLY growing, and we think he Is,
even now, the favorite OF the Southern
Democracy. Tilden, Bayard, Hancock
or Thurman will be acceptable to the
South. and either will bring out all the

we prefer Tilden to any or the Others, II
is because it is absolutely necessary that

that Tildcn can carry New York, rs

States which are Democratic. The
West, with the exception Of Indiana
is almost hopelessly Radicalized, and
the East and South must be depended
We ought, therefore, to have an East

and local self government. Gov. Til
