BAYARD.

INCOMPARABLY THE sTRo INCEST CANDI-
DATE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS
HE IL UNDOUBTEDLY THE MAN TO WIN
wITH-HIs FINANCIAL POLICY.
New York Public "The fact remains,
however, that Mr.. Bayard has opened to
his democratic associates the path that
leads to success, II they only have wit
and courage enough to pursue 1t. He
and they are greatly helped by the hesi-
tation of the Republicans, while 1t lasts,
though there are shire wd men who think
that the Republicans are again engaged
in Outwitting their adversaries, and will
be found united on the right side in the
end. Tue wish seems to be father to the
thought. Al present the Republicans
seem to be as stupidity and hopelessly
divided ,iE respect to the financial course
to be taken, as the Democrats them
selves, and this is particularly inexcusa
BILE in the Republicans, because they
have just gained surprising victories,
Tainly because of the signal success of
their policy of resumption. They had
olly to hold ground already won, with
certainty that public opinion would sus-
tain them there. The wavering and con-
fusion Of the Democrats is the more nat
ural, because they have just been soundly
beaten, mainly because of their alliance
with the soft. money men and repudia-
ors.'
iNCoMPARABLY THE STR INCEST CANDI-
DATE.
at is evident already that Mr.. Bayard
has made himself the natural and almost
the uecosoory candidate vf hio party, if,&
means to carry any eastern State. If the
hard money element of the party should
now succeed in impressing 1t with the
IDEAS which were so contemptuously
dism. .ssed prior to the late defeats the
party would accept those ideas in the
hope of Ofstrengthening itselfin New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut, and would
entire abandon the effort to carry any
western State. In that case, It would find
Mr.. Bayard Incomparably the stror gest
candidate. To set him aside, too, would
be construed as a refuge of the caurse
which ha has advocated"
BAYARD HAS DEMOCRATIC SUPP DIRT.
1t is reported that a majority of the
Democratic Senators will support Mr..
Bayard's measure, but this is not entirely
probable. Many of these senators have
committed themselves, bevond posi- bill

| infationists. Many others have consti-
| tuencies which would make haste to
| shelve any man suspected of hostility to
repudiation. Many others have a mar
rover motive they feel that the success

"ountry put to shame and its trade and
| industry exposed to disaster, rather than
to promote the chances of Mr.. Bayard.
