he Knows that nc never can ect IT,
He had firmly made up his mind to win at all haz-
ard: he played with the boldness bred OF des-
pcr:tion, and he feels keenly the fact that he no
longer dictates to his own party. The c1ner-
gency which has come upon the country rises
superior to personal ambition, and wiser heads
than that OF S. j. Tildcn are now debating the
policy Of the Democratic party. Ills voice was
for war, but theirs is more moderate, more
yielding, more III the interests Of the
country than Of Mr.. Tildeu, He is reported to
be morbillv sensitive to the slight put upon
him by the leaders OF his party III thus ignoring
him and his personal claims. He thinks, or pre-
tends to- that he was elected by the people, and
that if be is counted out it will be through the
trcachcry or cowardice OF his friends. a gen.
tlcman Who is i'll the habit OF calling at the Gov
ernor's house occasionally told me yesterday
that he is wonderfully changed within the past
few weeks The day after the election he was
receiving the congratulations of his friends on
his success, and had no doubt Of it, taking to
himself the credit Of personal victory. Then
came doubt aud uncertainty, and to-
day, when the chances are all against,
he is hngrarl, irritable, and over
whelmcd BY the possibility that he is
doomed to disappointment. lam Informed that
he sleeps little at night, SO pcrtinaciously does
this doubt and suspense harass him. Some Of
his friends express the belief that lie will lose
bis reason If the issue goes against him, and one
of them said hc would not. survive q week if
Gov. HAYES should be inaugurated. OF course,
there are exagrrrated Statements in circulation
