The New York Times Thermal Test of
the Presidential Pulse.
The New York Times has published
valuable collection of facts on the Presi-
dental question for 1880, giving informa-
ton from every State in the Union, and
over 10 special correspondents have COM
municated, giving information as reliable
as is possible from over thousand differ
ent, and the most important, cities and
points in the United States. They have
sought authority from the, most reliable
men in every section and of every party,
and hence its summing may be pro-
nounced nearer the facts in the case than
can be found in any other way. 1t states
in figures, that out of 157 points from
which advices have been received, GenI
Grant is the expressed choice of 13O. SEN
| ator Blaine 10, and that Messrs. Wash
burne, Garfield, Sherman, Conkling, Ed
munds and Chandler follow in the order
named. The Democrats in SO of the 157
prefer Tilden. Thurman comes next with
% districts, Bayard with II, and Hen
dricks and Hancock bring up the rear.
1t places the States, to put it briefly, as
follows: Maine Republican, first perhaps
for Blaine, with Grant second choice-not
fixed choice yet. Democrats, Tilden.
New Hampshire Republicans are strong
for Grant; the Democrats equally settled
on Tilden.

In Massachusetts Grant and Tilden are

ready united on Tilden.

bly, for Grant; The Democrats are not yet

Hancock is a first choice with few.
Delaware is believed to much favor
Grant on the Republican side: and the
Democracy has but one voice-a1l for Bay
ard.
Maryland Republicans generally for
Grant; the Democrats divided between
Tilden, Bayard and Thurman.
Blaine gets a small voice from Grant in
Virginia; while Bayard ranks first with
the Democracy, but Tilden could be
forced down.
West Virginia Republicans are unani-
mously for Grant; and Thurman is the
first choice of the Democracy.
Grant is the only choice of North Car
olina Republicans; while Thurman is the
Democratic preference, but TiIden as
last resort.
Grant stands first with South Carolina
Republicans, though Blaine's name is
used; and the Democracy don't like Til
den, but prefer Thurman, Hendricks, or
Bayard.

for Grant; the Democracy don't like Til
den, but do like his methods and money

Grant; the Democracy divided between

The Times, summing Ohio, says: There
are so many "favorite sons'' in Ohio that
for either party to unite on one man
would be base ingratitude to at least half
a dozen others. So we hear that the Re-
publicans talk much of Sherman and Gar
field, while Thurman is dear to the Dem
ocratic heart. But each party feels, after
} all, that it has but one name to coniure
with-Grant for the Republicans and Til
|; den for the Democrats. The improbable
ity of carrying New York with any OF
the home candidates is recognized by
! both parties.
