Ia 1875 General Candy wrote Cover
nor Hayes, saying that he ought to let
his friends run him for Governor, as
contingencies of success might be the
Presidency. To this Governor HAYES
replied 81 see the possibility to which
you refer, and it Is that which makes
me hesitate. The great evil OF life is,

publican candidate for Vice Presi.
dent: "Mr. Wheeler Is large, power
fully built man, standing very erect
when speaking. His hair is growing
very grey. It is always combed with
scrupulous care; always thrown back
from high square forehead, under
whose heavy brows there are very
observant eyes. He wears no beard or
mustache; the Jaws are as square as
the outlines of the forehead, and the
whole face Is expressive of earnest
thought when in repOse, but I have
seen It soften and brighten, when some
friend has accosted him, tall Mr..
Wheeler grew really handsome. The
death of his wife last winter was q sad
loss; one that he will feel keenIy now,
oh
rejoiced in his honor. She was a noble
woman dearly loved by all who knew
her."
The PittsburgGazette says of thenon-

Iy defeated Mr.DaVis for the Congress
sIOnal nomination in Philadelphia
The Judge, while occasionally cratic,
has made an excellent Representative
In Congress, and stands high among
the people of his district. He will
make the election, of course, as he al
ways succeeds in this. His chance of
usefulness will again return with the
new term of Congress.

observe that the little people of the
Herald and World speak of him as a
'colorless' candidate. Well, his color
is not loud; but what they actually
mean is nonsence. They had better
encounter him some time when he has
duty to perform, and try to turn him
aside, anu then tell US whether he has
color"
The New York Times has this to say
OF Mr.. Hendricks: "'Tomas Andrew
Hendricks, of Indiana, who has been
nominated for the Vice Presidency by
the Democrats, is known to the cOun-
try, so far as he is known at all, by his
Senatorial record. Most people in the
East know that the Governor of Ind.
is Mr.. Hendricks, and they remember
that it is the same Hendricks who, dur
ing the civil war, was bitter uncom-
promising, and malignant foe of the.
North: who, in the United States Sem
ate, tried his utmost to defeat every
measure necessary for the prosecution
OF the war, and who was elected to
that body by State Legislature which
did everything in its power against
the United States short of passing an
ordinance of secession.
