There has been O great deal said about
money being sent from New ork 70 alat ne
Democracy In this State. we speak from
absolute knowledge, md say tnat sucn Is Is
not the case, and that every dollar expenaea
by the Central Committee has been raised
within the State, and that has been scarcely
enough TO nav for the ordinary expenses OF
the committee-rooms and other iesltimate
expenses. india7eapol Sentinel.
The Radicals are making desperate efforts

facts Of the case are that the people tire
with his speeches, and that the masses are

sham. The enthusiasm that Is Inanuiac-

Colonel II. II. Riddlebarger has written
letter to Major N. y. Meade, chairman Con-
servative State Executive Committee, de-
claring that he is not, as has been represent
ed, candidate for Congress, and express
ing his opinion that as an elector It would
be improper for him to use that position to
promote personal ends. He also states that
in his canvass he makes no alluslon and eX-
presses no preferences in relation TO the
congressional contest in his district.
The southern correspondent OF the Gin
cinnati Commercial makes this estimate OF
the political prospect in his section: In
conclusion, looking back over the whole
southern field, we find that the Democrats
will in all probability make gain OF Jour
senators this winter. These will be from
the States. Of Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas,
and Louisiana. see no reasonable chance
for the Republicans to make gain in any
of the southern territory. They will hold
their own in South Carolina, and when that
is said all is said that reasonably can be-"
Never has there been more thorough
and complete consolidation of the Demo
cratic party than at this hour. There is not
shadow OF discord in its ranks-not YES
tige of dissatisfaction. The nominations at
ST. Louis have proven so eminently salts
factory that there is no complaint, no bolt
ing, no breaking Of ranks. Everywhere the
party presents q solid front, and is inspired
with spirit OF confidence that is rapidly
merging into positive enthusiasm. -fh'to-

Some OF the newspapers say that Judge
Critcher has withdrawn rs al independents
candidate for Congress in this district, but
we have no authoritative statement what
ever. We believe his candidacy will de-
pend largely, if not altogether, on the ac-
ton OF the Republican Convention, which
meets In this place on the 3lst. An effort
will doubtless be made by some OF the dele
gates from the northern neck counties to al
low nomination to 60 by default, but as
this course does not meet with the approval
OF those who usually do the thinking for the
party, it will doubtless prove abortive, and
4 nomination, clear and distinct, be made.
In that event, we take it that Judge Critch-
er will speedily withdraw from the canvass.

General Bartlett is as earnest for Governor
TiIdcn as 11r. Parke Goodwin, and that is
saying good DEAL lie remarked to cor
respondent OF the Boston Post on Friday !:

earnestly and heartily in favor of the cleo
ton of Tilden and Hendricks. think the
early prosperity and welfare of the country
are entirely dependent OH their success.
Governor Hayes may mean well enough,
but look at the men who are supporting
him! Does anybody suppose that III the
event of his election Governor Hayes is
going to say to Dir. Blaine, Mr.. Chandler,
Mr.. Morton, Mr.. Conlding, General Butler,
and the rest of them, You are the men who
have brought the country into disgrace and
then turn his back upon them: Such a
supposition is absurd upon the face OF it.
Look at General Klpalrick's letter to Gov
ernor Hayes. That shows the kind Of men
who are supporting the Republican candi-
dates. regard that letter as simply infa-
nous; and il it can be shown that Governor
Hayes received the letter without denounc-
ing its author openly at once it ought to de-
feat him by ITSELF"
