From the Charleston News and Courier Dem u
The National Democracy have been beaten once
by the feebleness of their leader, and the South
say, distinctly and positively, that it does not
mean to be so beaten again. The person who
prevented the democracy from enjoying the fruits
of victory in 1877 will not be allowed to play the
same game over again four years later. Mr. Til
den IS not entered for the race. The South bars
him. 1t is distinction enough for Mr.. Tilden to
be the only person elected President, since the
foundation of the Republic who did not obtain
his Office. This position is unique, like Mr.. Til
den, and ii is not proposed to compromise his dig
nifty by allowing him to become President The
