SENATOR BARNUM, WHO'S chairman
of the National Democratic Committee
is quoted as authority for saying ths,
Mr.. Tilden will be a candidate for the
Presidency 10 1880. A correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial, who re.
Gently had long conversation with
Senator Barnum, says:
Mr.. Barnum is positive on the point
that Governor Tilden will be candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
again. He regards it as absolutely es-
sential that the nominee should be ia
ken from New York. Practically the
necessity of the last campaign will ex-
ist in the next. The solid South can
not elect q President without New
York, and a Western or Southern man
cannot carry that State against a popu-
lar Republican selected from her peo-
pie. Florida, Louisiana and Oregon
would not compensate the Democracy
for the loss of the Empire State

The silver Question.

The New York Tribune and Other
opponents of the restoration Of the sil.
yer dollar, argue that it would be re.
pudiatiou of our contract with our
bondholders. But the New York SIN,
though agreeing with the same policy on
other grounds, denies this. 1t makes
the following declaration, and SO far
tells the truth:
Much has been said about the dis.
honesty of paying the public debt, in
terest and principal, 10 silver at the old
and now deprecated rate. There is no
ground for such talk. No word in any
act of Congress authorizing any nation.
al loan obliges US to pay gold. The word
gold" has never been used By Con.
eress, but only coin" Senator Mat
thews is perfectly justified in asserting
that the employment of silver instead
of gold is no violation Of national faith.
We have the legal right to pay in sill
-er, aud those who assert the contrary
;pot understand wha, they are talk
hout.
