Major John N. Edwards, in a recent
number OF his paper in commenting on
the Dispatch. which is strong in
its advocacy of Senator Bayard for pres
ldent, has this to say: sJust so sure as
our contemporary lives to see the ma
tional democratic nominating conven-
ton, just SO sure will it see the issue
brought fairly and squarely between
Thurman on the one side and Tilden on
the other. Every other name will SIM
ply be an episode. Ohio and New York.
this will be the beginning and the end
ing of the policy which will control the
next convention" This paragraph shows
a thorough appreciation of the situation.
The honor of the democratic nomination
lies between these two-to Thurman,
the peerless champion of democracy, or
to Tilden, who was the country's choice
and who was cheated out of the presi,
dency.

We have successfully maintained the
principle that the bayonet shall not con-
troll the ballot-box; we have repealed the
infamous jurors test-oath; we have pro-
vided for impartial juries in the federal
courts, north and south, and we have
maintained the principle that the federal
government shall not interfere in the
election OF the officers OF the states. A
greater declaration in favor of popular
liberty has not been made since the adop
ton of Magma Charta."
