ONE of the most remarkable results OF the
late election In Virginia was that In which an
old politician, who had been frequently elected
to the Legislature, was defeated by his former
slave.
LEADING Southern men who have recently
arrived in Washington say that the Northern
Democrats must select the cad ana tail of the
presidential ticset, and the Southern States
will come up to the scratch with lss electoral
votes They only ask their Northern brethren
to carry New York and Indiana, and they will
do the rest.
THE indianapolis Sun (GreenbacK) says that
the negro has precisely the same right to come
TO Indiana that the white man has to go to
North Carolina, but the party that organized
the scheme for destroying the ballots of the
workingmen OF Indiana by driving the ne
groes into our State deserves to be sunk to the
lowest regions.
THE Noblesville Independent says: Mr.
Hendricks, the favorite son of Hoosierdom
has been interviewed. He says he Will sup
port the nominees of his party, and that he
would regret that Indiana should go against
them. Governor Hendricks, agreeable to his
most worthy record, stands prepared TO fight
all circuu stances
SENATOR VOORHEES, in a recent interview,
in abiding to Mr.. Hendricks, said: 81 regard
him as one of the very ablest men in this
country. have known him all my life and
under all circumstances. He is man OF the
first order of ability and of the highest courage
physically, morally and intellectually. II
elected president his administration would be
able and pure. 1t would take rank with the
administrations of the earlier presidents"
THE New York World says that a number of
leading Republican statesmen and patriots
are on trial in Pennsylvania for bribery, cor
ruption, perjury, and q few more cardinal
vices of the same sort. So patent is their in
nocence, and so eager are they to demonstrate
it, that they are fighting tooth and nail to get
of on technicalities, instead of going 10 trial
on the merits of the cases. The indictments
should be quashed st once and the patriots
bailed over to future term. Their help will
be indispensable in the next presidential cam
paign for Grant, Cameron and civil service
reform.
Hon. ]. w. SMITHEE, of Arkansas, being
asked whom the Arkansas Democrats desired
for president, replied: anybody who can be
elected. Were they to consult their personal
preferences, they would designate Mr. Hen
bricks. But they would support Seymour or
Hancock with equal enthusiasm. The course
of Mr.. Bayard ON the Warner silver billduring
the extra session of Cong ess has rendered him
somewhat unpopular, but the great majority
of the people of Arkansas are Democrats, and
they will support the Democratic nominee no
matter who he 49, Whom do the Repubii-
C ms favor?" Grant, decidedly. Even the of
fice-holders are for Grant, though they say
little"
A RECENT Washington special says one of
the most curious statements yet advanced
why the Seymour boom should be encouraged
by Democrats and that Seymour should be the
Democratic nominee, was made by New
York politician in this city To-Day. Said he:
"The ticket must b Seymour and Hendricks.
Seymour can sit In his home in Utica and
without an effort on his part carry New
York. What the Democracy need is the use
of his name. If he will go at the head of the
ticket solely as fgurehead, the ticket OF Sey-
mour and Hendricks can be elected. Hen
'ricks can carry Indiana. Such ticket
would keep the South from breaking up, be-
cause with the solid vote of the South there is
no doubt of its election. The objection is
urged that Seymour is too old. Well, he is not
too old to be vot I'd for. The plan will be, in
my judgment, that Seymour VIII consent to
act as figurehead, and that, il he is elected,
he VIII resign the once, ana hendricks VIII
become the president. With such an under
standing as this Hendricks will run second.
People may laugh at this proposition now,
but the Democracy have either got to come to
1t or accept Grant" The same authority says
that Seymour and Hendricks are very warm
friends; that the former has always been a
warm admirer OF Hendricks, and will go into
such a scheme TO try and save the Democratic
ticket, If his friend Hendricks is the ben
edciary.
