MISSISSIPPI DEMOCRATS
Are not for TIIdeB for PresIdent-Auy
Other Nan Will suit Them Bet
ter-At Least, say all the
Congressman, bat One

New York Herald interviewer: Mr. H. l..
Muldrow, Of the first district of Mississippi:
~ don't think Tllden would be acceptable
to the people OF Mississippi. He may have
some supporters there, but they are largely
l. the minority
''Who is the choice of your people?"
cat present | believe Thurman is the IA
vorite for the Presidency, though the NOM
NATION Is some time off and pu bic opinion
Is tickle on questions OF this character"
Mr.. Van H. Manning, second district,
speaks very positively. He says: 1--WE 1.-THE
Democrats) cant afford to nominate Mr.. Til
den. He is against US on the money question,
and that's enough. We must take western
man. Who? Well, our people regard Thur
man as the best man for President. Then we
could go east for a candidate for Vice Presi-
dent, and the best thing we could do would
be to take s. S Cox. BE can command as
many votes In New York as anybody, and IN
my opinion is much stronger there than Til
den. Cox would get for US portion of the
one million three hundred thousand National
votes. Illden ruined US before, not in tho
campaign, but III the conclusion of it, and sur
people would not willingly take him again
I es, there is some Greenback organization In
Mississippi, but It will not hurt the Democ-
racy."
Mr.. fernando Desoto Money, of the third
Mississippi district, thinks that Tilden and
Hendricks were defrauded out of the cleo
ton, and that If tie same ticket Is renomi-
mated 1t will be triumphantly elected and in
stalled. The Democrats" he saws, ''have
the States sold by the returning boards; they
have both houses of congress, and they will
have the power, as they have the inclination,
20 enforce the decree Of the people. | have
70 personal prediction for the old ticket,
although | was the only southern member OF
the house in the forty fourth congress that l
ever knew of who favored the nomination of
~ i, L
the ground Of availability. The same reason
is as good and strong for his denomination in
1880. | believe any Democratic nomination
will carry the southern States"
Mr.. o. r. Singleton, fourth district, says
Of 1iideu: 81 am not in favor of renomi-
mating MIR. Tilden for President, nor do l be-
lieve the people of Mississippi favor the idea
The next Presidential canvass must be one
of aggression and not OF defense. However
innocent Mr.. 1Iiden may be of any connec-
ton with or knowledge of the cipher dis
patches, yet the attack at this point by his
enemies will be vigorous and put his friends
on the defensive-a state of things TO be
deprecated.
Mr. Charles E. Hooker, fifth district, Mis-
sissippi, says: Il do not think the renomi-
nation of Tilden Is a party necessity, as has
been suggested by some, nor do think there
is any special reason why he should be noml-
mated We have plenty Of good men In the
party whose claims are just as deserving as
Tlden's, to say the least. No, do not care
to mention any one my particular choice"
MIR. James r. Chalmers. sixth district,
commonly known as the "Shoestring" dis
trict. because It extends along the river for
the entire length OF the State, expressed him
self as follows: I'm my Judgment, Tilden Is
not the mau for u.s. A great many men in
my district Will vote for Grant before they
will ior Iilden. Yes; mean they will vote
fer Grant, who is sure to be the Republican
nominee, rather than for Tilden, as the DEM
ocratic candidate. Oh, yes; there are many
men whom our people will support heartily
Ia fact, any of the names mentioned for the
Presidency, rather than Tilden."
