Mr.. TuDEN's election is advocated by
many persons who are not willing to call
themselves Democrats-a very favorable
sign OF his success. Professor SUMNER, for
example, says that he cannot rely upon any
party to carry his principles into execution,
but that he can rely upon man If he can
ind one OF, the right kind, and he thinks
that such man he has found in Mr.. TIL
DEN. Following up the idea, he consoles
himself by rejecting and saying that Mr.
TILDEN is not the Democratic candidate,
but the candidate Of the Democrats. The
Chicago Times, powerful ally Of the DEM
ocrats, takes up the same strain and says:
.tWhen the country is made to see that
our Uncle Samuel is not the Democratic
candidate for the presidency, but the candi-
date of the Democrats in common with
many men Of many minds, his selection will
be more certain and his election more use
ful.'
Lot every man be persuaded in his own
mind. We care not for the particular rea-
sons that may impel any man to the support
OF our candidates. We welcome all into our
ranks who wish to aid in reforming the adj
ministration Of the Government and re-
storing the prosperity of the country.

that State, and this trouble Radical malice
and interruptions manipulation will convert

these occurrences. We know not why they
must always occur in our sister southern

by the emissaries Of MORTON and BEAST
BUTLER as means OF helping their party to

may be, aud how clearly soever it may be
that the whites are in the right, the fact will
still remain that these troubles tend to the
election OF HAYES and WHEELER.

DANIEL DER0NDA.-Wc find the following
interesting paragraph in the Cincinnati
Commercial:
:: There is 4 great deal of discussion of
the purpose Of George Eliot in writing
Daniel Deronda,' and the Jewish portion
Of the book is a particular puzzle. The
truth is, the husband of George Eliot is a
gentleman Of Jewish descent, and she is
suspected Of writing the book to please her
husband. She studied Jewish history with
great care as a preparation for this work,
and 1t Is said by her friends that in the
course OF her studies having this relation
she consulted thousand books"
This seems reasonably to account for the
peculiar character of the book.
