strength Is shown for Thurman, with Hen
bricks as second fayorite. Bayard, however,
stands a respectable chance, and some are Tor
Hancock, Mcclellan, and even Potter. The
Herald brings it out that there appears to De
a general belief that Grant will be run again

The following is the result OF the HeraId's
interview:
A AJabdma- Jones says he favors Thurman
and Hendricks or Hendricks and Thurman

Tiden.
Williams says that he Is for Thurman,
Hendricks or Bayard. Iilden l. not wanted;
Shelley says that he favors Thurman and
Ba ard or Hendricks Tilden could never
get the vote OF Alabama In the national dele
cation under any circumstances. Grant

licans.

TiIden is not thought Of.

bricks or Mcclellan are his favorites. Tilden
| Is not thought Of

den, but he would like to see him in the White
III ouse. Thurman Is his next choice.
Arkansds, Cause says Thurman or Hen LEI,
den. Grant would poll the largest vote
| against u.s. but there Is no danger OF his car
rying any Southern State

| Hendricks or Hancock. His people, although

| the strongest man that could be put up from
| the East Ifa Western man Is nominated for
| the first place on the ticket my people will
support either Cox or Hewitt for Vice Presi-
dent Senator Eaton is also well thought of
in the West. The strong sentiment In the
West ls that Tilden was swindled out of the
Presidency, and IL he comes out OF the cipher
dispatch troubles all right and makes an ag-
gre5sive fight, the men who voted for and
supported him in 1876 will do so again in 1880.

electoral vote from the Pacific coast. Thur
man Is the man for US.
