THE Cincinnati Enquirer proposes o
plan 10 haze no Democratic National
Convention at all, in the old sense Of
tic term, to nominate candidate for
President 10 1880. 1t proposes
that the several delegations meet at the
State capitals and vote for their
candidate and telegraph the result to

Enquirer thinks. will do away with the
wire pulling and tho final furry which

make very respectable member Of u
Dorcas society. but VIA. are We to
think Of him as q statesman 2-Ncl0

This shows a very encouraging con-
ditiOn Of State funds, when it is re-
membercd that not only has all money

repaid. but thut most Of the heavy ap.
preparations have been provided for
Standard.
