Tilden, Bayard, Thurman and Hem
bricks, are now the four most promi-
nent candidates for President on the
Democratic side in 1850. Tildeu would
have the inside track, as the party
have been taught to believe that he
was cheated out Of the Presidency last
ysar-but he has outlived his popu-
larity. The South consider him def.
Gent in pluck for not having stirred
up a revolution to maintain what he
protested 10 believe was his right to the
Presidency. The present indications
are that the Democratic nomination
will be holly contested, and may re-

Washington letter: Take the scene
in hotel parlor in Washington, where
free-born, independent woman-wife
of Republican member-came in and
Informed knot OF lstless ladies that
she had called on Mrs. Senator Bruce
that day. In a second the group was
transformed. AS Southern women, and
mostly Democrats, they sprang as if a
viper had fallen among them. A chorus
and discussion ensued, waxing warm
and growing personal. They thought
it was awful" and the beautiful one
who had disturbed them stood smiling
ly twisting her watch chain while opin.
ions were given and broad minds re.
lieved of their burdens. "Well she is
three shades lighter than an she
knows ten times more, has a great deal
more money her husband is Senator,

OH her." and with that parting shot

their equaRimity.
