There is no particular feeling for Mr.. Bay
ard he was only looked TO On the taancisl
issue, and that appears to be settled. The
suggestion that Thurman or Hendricks
should he nominsisd, with Wallace for
Vice President. ascribes more strength 10
the latter in Pennsylvania thsn he Is able
to commsnd. This was previous TO the
contest over the Speakershipl For the
Vice Presidency the idea usually ia TO re-
nominate Mr.. Hendricks; the only gUes
ton is whether be would run again in
that position.
THE LsHIGH VALLEY RTGIoN
One Of the most intelligent snd res
pected Democratic Senstors, fscn TIE
upper Lehigh Valley, said Of his section
that the Democratic voters think IIldsn
must be run in order TO set him right
He is entitled to the nomination for mis-
yindication OF the result Of 1876. This
feeling sets things in motion in that
direction, otber-wise the leaders and active
politic-I workers would be as likely to
go for Bayard. But if we gave, up Tilden
now, it would have the appearance Of
scquiesipg in the Republican treatment
Of him.
"rnem's my sentiments" sententiously
| commented another senator from not
| distant county, and he proceeded TO say
| that nine.terths of the Democratic masses
| in his county consider that TIlden must
be the candidate. The only thing We
| have against him WAS his weakness in
| yielding 10 the decision OF the Electoral
Commission. II he had inst gone out in
the city Of New York and made five
minute speech to the people asserting his
| right to The Presidency and calling on
them to stand by him, it would have
settled the question. Mr.. Tilden has the
money to make a strong canvass aod

Would Wallace re able, l asked the
| frs. speaker, TO make the Vice Presidency
with Hendricks or Thurman? o, no, WIS
the reply, he couldn't carry the State
delegation of any such plan.
Another Senator from ore of the hea Vest
Democratic counties in the State, to
| whom | spoke in refsrenc. TO some
r. solutions that had been passed in favor
Of Mr.. Tiiden, said it might be question
able whether this WAS not Premature
| action, even from the stand point Of that
gentl mans irierd-, but it was a step
| suggested by the rank and file of the party,
| and not engineered by political leaders al
all. The politicians Of the State are not for
TI'den; they are divided in choice among
other candidates, but doubles. = msjority
if they were to express a cool judgement
as to their choice for a Candidate, would
take Mr.. Bayard. A between h nd

unless it be in the relative size Of the States

VOICES FROM THE WEST.

have the old ticket-Tilden and Hen
