Music of the future that unanimous report from

A few calm but forcble remarks from Charles

the fraud yell.
What Tilden needs most is steadygoing organ
in this city, There are several fraud organs, but
they are too much given to variations 10 De uSeIu'
Stanley Matthews says the Republican candidate
IN 1880 may Do Grant possibly, but Sherman prob
ably The Secretary has to feel proud OF the
average Ohio mans faith IN him.
No wonder some of the Democratic Senators are

Indiana is having taste of Democratic reform
in the management of legislative affairs An extra
session has been made necessary because the Demo-
cratic members insisted upon delaying the public
business by partisan legislation. 1t VIII soon be
generally understood that Democratic majority In
any legislative body means all extra session.
Congressman Singleton, of Illinois, is anti
Tilden Democrat with original plan for counter
acting the persuasive influence of that barl. He
says 1t is mistake to think that Tiden is free with
his money, since established facts show that he
isn't. Singleton says he knows several Democrats
who spent money freely to nominate Tlden in 1875,
and they have not been reimbursed yet single
toms ticket is Hancock and sam Cary, as the only
combination strong enough to beat Grant. IL would
probably be too strong" for Hancock.
General Garfield agrees with all other shrewd
political observers in believing that the Democrats
are bound to renomnate Tiiden if he is alive in
1880. As he puts it to reporter of The Cleretdnd
Herald, the Democrats had two In reference

him, and they selected the latter: If what they
claim is true Tilden is terribly abused man, and
must be nominated for the Presidency. 1t looks as
If he could dictate the nomination by saying 4:
Here take me lose New-f0rk.'" 1t also looks

country. and are assured of an almost universal
readiness to demand his denomination account Of
Injustice done him in 1876. He is sure that Tilden
is in excellent health and fully equal to the strain
of another campaign. He considers OF the greatest
importance TO have q candidate who can carry New
York and for that reason he shall work for Iilden
and he is confident that t0ur-ffths Of the Demo-
Gratis of Pennsylvania agree with him. Carry the
news to Iammany hall!
Hendricks still has some followers left in Indiana
but few of them show any hope in the rising of his
star A canvass of the members Of the Legislature
bv a correspondent of The Cincinnati Enquirer shows
that eighteen of tho twenty-five Democratic Sena-
tors were IN favor of Hendricks for $780, but not
man of them said he expected to see him nomi-
mated Five Of the eighteen favored Tilden rs a
second choice, and one was for Tilden before Hen
dricks. few said Thurman was their second
choice. but no one was cruel enough TO favor the
Ohio rival before Hendricks. The members of the
House stood III about the same proportion TOR Hen,
bricks as first choice, with lilden, Mcdonald aud
Voorhees, as second. Nearly all the Republicans
were warmly in favor of Grant; many were for

and the other was for William Allen. This puts
Butler handsomely ia the lead.
