POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.

The Cleveland Ploindealer (Dem. J
calls the attention OF tue Alien Democ-
racy to the fact that the State platform
of 1873 denounced all salary grabbers,
| and that the last convention placed
Charles A. Lamison and George W
| Morgan, both alary-grabbers, on the
Committee on Resolutions.
The Iowa newspapers agree that the
Democratic delegation from that State is
practically unit for Governor Tilden.
seventeen or eighteen OF the twenty-five
delegates are openly in his favor, and
none of them are absolutely opposed to
| him. Hendricks is the first choice oil
those not in favor OF Tilden.
The St. Louis Republican, though
Democratic in politics, ,manilests hank
ering after Bristow for the Democratic
| nominee. 1t says, sit the Republicans
nominate Bristow, the Independents
will vote for him;" and then somewhat
menacingy adds: elf the Republicans
can not afford to listen to such terms, the
Democrats can."
The Richmond (Va.) Enquirer does
not lavor the nomination OF TIlden for
President. 1t is admitted that such a
nomination would cost the Democrats
the States which vote in October, and
she Enquirer declares that il the Demo-
Gratis IUse Unio and Indiana In October
all is gone. The doubtful States will all
20 Republican, and the Democrats will
aaye to tight even for Virginia and Ten
nessee.

cut; j. W. Garfield, Ohio; Governor

The indianapolis Sentinel (Dem. }
says that the platform OF principles
adopted by the Ohio Democrats reflects
the Western sentiment on the financial
question. And it thinks the votes OF

| Montgomery Blair thinks "the an.
tagonism between the New York and
Ohio Democracy on the financial ques-
tion is purely Fictitious. The controver-
sy on this subject was as sound between
Pendleton ana Seymour in 1868 as it 10
now between Allen and Tiden; but 1t
| lid net then prevent the friends Of Pen
dleton and Allen from proposing and
.orcing through The Convention the NOM
ination OF Seymour against his own de-
clared wishes and those Of all his imme-
diate friends"
The Elberton (Ga.) Gazette insists
that the statement that the Georgia dele
CATION to st. Louis is almost solid for
Iilden is as tar from the truth as man
can well get. "Laying aside the ques-
tion Of ofavahabiliIy, there is hardly bona
fide Democrat in Georgia who would
name Tilden as his choice for the stand
ard-bearer of the party. We firmly be-
lieve that Bayard and Democracy would
win more votes than Tliden and policy.
The milk-and-water policy has been
| faithfully tried; we would like TO see a
fearless straight ticket tried"
Since the Ohio Democratic Conyen-
tion pronounced itself, the New York
| World claims that "Senator Bayard is
as good representative OF the Demo.
cratic idea as Governor Tilden, and il
engaged in an effort to make a two.horse
Presidential act seem consistent to the
exacting friends OF Tilden." Also, Con-
gressman Lamar, of Mississippi, believes
that BaYard would make better candi.
date for the Presidency than Tilden.
His State is small, but he mas nation
for his constituency. The triumph OF
the Allen faction in Ohio seems to have
induced concentration on Bayard.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat is OF
the sanguneo- Blaine temperament; and
on the subject of the vote Of Texas says
ain all the calculations thus lar made
on the balloting at Cincinnati, Texas
has been put down as likely to give
three votes for Blaine and thirteen for
| Morton. Mr.. Siemeriug, editor OF the
