BAYARD'S CHANCES.

Wilmington Correspondence New York Times.
| The steadying which followed the Ohio
election, and the general submission since to
operation of the resumption act, have
had the effect of making Mr.. Bayard availa-
bic again, and it has been determined in his
councils not to let things take their course,
as in 1876, but to begin in time, and begin
in earnest. It has been complained that he
had no Organization that precious aud
worshipful thing to the political tinker
last time, and this is to be remedied. Della
wares politics are so limited in its dimen-
sions, though very intense to the square
inch, and the Senatorial toga descended from
his fathers shoulders upon his own SO east
studied in the State school of organization,
as others of his colleagues, represent
ing the great States, and struggling with
many competitors, have been obliged to do
Nevertheless, he has now set up his standard,
| and an active effort is to be made. The
slnews of war, it is intimated, are not want
ing; New York assurances of a substantial
character have made the paymaster's depart
ment secure from embarrassment, and if its
outgo is not to be by the "bar'l," as in a
former noteworthy instance, it will, at least,
be in sufficient volume to produce the best
results.
The plan which Mr.. Bayard's friends have
in mind is to build upon the Southern States.
In every Democratic calculation they form
necessarily the prime element. 1t is assumed
that they are ''solid," that by no possibility
can any Republican nominee gather single
electoral vote south of the old slave line.
This, then, provides 1873 votes, while at least
1876 are needed for election. The answer of
Mr.. Bayard's friends to the latter suggestion is
simple and direct. They will throw away
the chance of Indiana. with its Worries and
Hendricks WITNESSES, and they will carry the
three pivotal States of the East, in which
hard money preferences have been presumed
to hold control of the Democratic organiza-
ton. These three-New York, with thirty
five votes, Connectiut, with six, and New Jer-
sey, with nine-make total of fifty, and
added to the solid South give 1873, or three
more than majority of the electoral
college, Democratic expectations may
include more States in the North, and the
mutations of politics might add to their col
umn; but assuming the South as sure to be-
gin with, success is assumed in the Bayard
programme to be equally certain in new

conspicuous for his fidelity to hard money
than Mr.. Tilden, and who has elements Of
popularity greatly superior to the fabby
BY the time of the election, indeed, if the
'scraze" should pass entirely, Mr.. Bayard
might carry Ohio as we'll as Mr.. Thurman,
and Indiana as easily as Mr.. Hendricks; but
whether he did or did not, 1873 electoral votes
would settle the question. Less than that
would suffice, indeed, for it is settled prop
osition in the Democratic ranks that the
next President shall be of their party, if
they come anywhere near success at the
polls. They will have majority in both
Houses of Congress, they have the remem-
brance of what they pretend to believe were
the frauds of 1876, and nobody could be
more delighted to have the opportunity OF
carrying things with high hand upon the
pretext that they have somebody elses pre-
cedent for the wrong. I will not say that
Senator Bayard thoroughly embraces this
doctrine OF political rascality, and means to
win by fraud if he should be defeated BY
the people-assuming his nomination.
to begin Without it would be perious ex
pectation that, with only few electoral
votes lacking, and the power of Congress to
secure them in the hands of his partisans, he
would stand long i'll the way. The new bill
of Mr.. Edmunds, which Senator Bavard cor
daily supported, makes it none the NOR,
difficult to count in Il candidate not elected
by the people.
Looking to the South, it is said by Mr..
Bayard's advocates that there are two argu-
ments which will avail him to gather the
delegation from that section and hold them
in the convention, not including that potent
one which Mr.. Tlden's agents discussed SO
unblushingly at St. Louis. The Delaware
Senator has been Southern man par eSce5-
lence. he is the son of that other Senator
from this State who joined the Sc
cession wing of the Charleston convention
in 1860, and presided over the body that
nominated JOHN G. Breckenridge for the
Presidency in opposition to Stephen A.
Douglas. He has been cordially and sin
cerely bound to the Southern ideas of excess
i've State rights, aristocratic privilege, and
"mudsilp antagonism. In times past if
not recently, he expressed great doubt wheth-
er. IN the long run, it would not prove to be
failure. To the Southern view he appears
the embodiment of that man on horseback
that chevalier of imaginative polltics-whom
it admires. Booted, spurred and mounted.
ne stands out a far more attractive figure to
sentimental people than his ancient colleague
from Ohio. trudging on foot, and blowing
generously into the depths of
his red bandana. But all this
aside, admitting that they need
more practical argument than
that which appeals only to preferences of
sentiment, it will be said that the Southern
States are now so nearly in control once
more of the national functions, and are so
closely within reach of the official fesh-pots,
for which they bave so hungered, that they
need only to consider what are Mr.. Bayard's
chances of election. Preferences as to man.
or as to financial policies, are of trifling con-
sequence in comparison with the spoils that
will be gathered by success, and the duty is
not to debate over anything out the relative
chances of the several aspirants. Can Mr..
Bayard win, then? .:Certainly,' they an
swer; che can not be defeated. The South
being assured in the outset, his three States
of the North will elect him. It is a sure
programme now that the Republicans have
whipped the soft-money notions out of our
party. for our only safe course is to ally the
South and the East on MIR. Bayard's plat
form. If we try again the plan of uniting
the South and the West on soft money the
Republicans may beat US once more, and by
SO large majority of Electors that we would
not dare to cheat our candidate into office by
means of the Congressional count''
All this is clear and distinct. It is a pro-
gramme quite comprehensive, and with
money to set it in the field, why shouldn't it
win? Delaware takes the right of the col
umn.
