in the democratic party. These aspirants,
whether speaking in person or by proxy,
are sly, but none the less sure in their
outgivings. OF those in the senate, Thur

secretive. while Mcdonald, who is the
attorney in fact of Hendricks, is the most

enhance Tilden's chances, or disturb
Hayes's title, if be can avoid it. Then

resolution of the Pennsylvania convention,
