pie which does not indicate that they clamoring
to vote for the ticket in the next Presidential con-
test.
Mr.. Carter H Harrison Of tho Second Illinois dis
trct, declined to express opinion. ~ he had not
given the subject thought.
Mr.. Robert NJ. Knapp. Eleventh district. expresses
the belief that Tilden is the coming man. He thinks
circumstances point to him being unquestionably
the best man in the nation for the position. The
pubcsns will nominate Grant
Mr.. William NJ. Springer. Twelfth district. thinks
the democratic nomination rests with Thurman.
Bsyard, Tilden Hendricks. As to which the
advantage at this time he is unable to say. The
question to the selection Of the candidate from
East or West depends upon the elections in New
YORK ana 0hio ON next rail- 0no gives large ma
joriy for the democrats Thurman's chances are en-
HANGED On the contrary. Il Ohio goes republican
dark horses. In regard to the republican candidate
he holds the opinion that Grant is the man. He will
port him. AS to the investigation OF the cipher
dispatches he does not think Mr.. Tilden is in the
help to him In his opinion had not the cipher
dispatches been investigated Mr.. Tilden's nomina-
brought his nomination within the possibilities His
nomination. 1t might be said. depends on how New
York goes.
Mr.. John R. Eden. Fifteenth district. has ma
tured opinion and does not regard it all improbable
the publication of the cipher dispatches and the
testimony of Mr. Tiden he thought it was not i'm
testimony helped him greatly. His CMr. Eden's
choice is Mr. Hendricks. who, in his opinion would
be strong candidate in the West
Mr.. william A. j. Sparks, Sixteenth district. says
the democratic nominee must be Thurman. Since the
last investigation Mr.. Tiidens stock has increased
and new feeling is alive feeling that he was
cheated out of the Presidency. This feeling: he
especially, and makes his strength much greater;
yet he thought the West was what might be
much the South. the democrats Of that section
stand fast he will be elected beyond q doubt The
republicans. he said. will nominate Grant who can
be beaten hv Thurman.
Mr.. William r. Morrison Seventeenth district de-
clined to tho subject. he did not know
anything about the matter. and moreover the ttmo
for the nomination Is too far ahead.
MT William Hartzell. Eighteenth district is Of the
opinion that the fght for the democratic nomination
Is between Thurman and Hendricks. In the West 1t
looks that way. He declined to express opinion
relative MIR. Tilden's chances further than say
that future Questions might Affect him one way or
publican nominee.
Mr.. Richard w. Townshend, Nineteenth district,
preferred to express opinion to the probable
democratic nominee. He confident that Grant
would be the choice of the republicans. He in
clined to think that Tilden will not be nominated.
and that he has but small following in the South
West The investigation had not affected him in the
estimation OF democrats. SO far his integrity is
concerned but sound policy dictates that the nomt
nee should be some other man. The better policy
would be to nominate = Western man.
INDIANA
Mr. Benoni 8. Fuller. First Indiana district,
says:-"Indiana 10 for Hendricks At least four
names will go into the Convention. viz. :-Tilden.
Hendricks. Thurman and Bayard. think there is q
In my opinion, is the strongest and best man. He
has all the qualifications that go to make good
Executive. The greenback movement Is not entirely
dead. Grant will be the republican nominee"
Mr.. Thomas r. Cobb. Second district of Indiana,
says"Our State Ia solid for Hendricks. Personally
am . great admirer OF Mr.. Tilden. but his hard
money sentiments don't suit our people. II nomi-
mated doubt IL he could command the strength OF
the party in the State The greenbsckers 1900
votes in Indiana last year. and with Tilden
candidate for President they would increase their
vote. ! think Grant will be the republican
didate."
Mr.. George A. Bicknell. Of the Third district.
says that in his State there ut time strong
feeling in favor of Western man as the democratic
candidate, but lately that feeling has changed and
Mr.. Tilden has doomed up brilliantly the probable
choice Of Indiana. He could not account for the
change Of feeling. He thinks General Grant will be
the republican nominee.
Mr.. Andrew H. Hamilton. Twelfth district:-"In-
diana is for Hendricks. Mr.. Tilden would not be
strong in State. The soft money element wo uld
not sustain him. Grant will be the republican
didste. think"
KENTUCKY.
Mr.. A. R. Boone, First district says:-"Both
Thurman and Hendricks are very strong In Ken
tucky. Tilden is not. There is deep-seated i'm
preston among our people that Mr. Tildcn should
have taken the Presidency to which he elected,
and they will now favor man for President who,
they think, viii assert his rights.
Mr.. James A. Mckenzie. Second district Ken.
tucky will favor the selection Of . Western man.
In the event Of Tilden 3 nomination Kentucky would
OF course. go democratic. but Tilden would not begin
and Hendricks are the favoritcs Kentucky win will
ingly support either in preference to sn Eastern
man."
Mr. John w. Caldwell. Third district. says s:-.My
opinion is that Mr. Tilden has come out Of the
cipher investigation without even smell Of are
upon his garments. While Kentucky may not pro-
pose him. it viii be found by 1880 that he ia the
Bayard. Hendricks and Thurman are both strong in
Kentucky but likely to pursue the old plan
OF putting hard money democrat = soft money
platform think the choice lies between Tiiden and
bayard. with Tiden decidedly in the lead. The re-
publicans will. think. nominate Grant,"
Mr.. J. Proctor Knott. of the Fourth district,
has formed no opinion the subject OF tho demo.
cratic nomination. He thinks General Grant will be
the republican nominee.
Mr.. Albert s. Willis. Fifth district --"Ticn is not
near as strong he We do not take any stock
In the story he tells about his innocence of COM
plicity in tho cipher despatch business The story
is too thin and his attempt to mako u scapegoat Of
pelton will not do. IL he had right out and
said that he did attempt to fight the devil with fire
he would have bccn much stronger In the estma-
tion of all honest men. Bsyard has more strength
In Kentucky than rilden. but think the delegation
will Le divided between Thurman and Hendricks.
kentucky republicans favor Grants nomination"
Mr.. J. s. q. Biackburn. OF the Seventh Kentucky
district. says.--'The tight will be between Thurman
and Bayard In Kentucky Tilden will have no
strength sympathy In the State The contest will
bc between the East and the West. Bayard repre-.
sentng the East and Thurman the West aud ken.
tucky, think, will bo solid for Thurman. The
grcenbackcrs not separate political party in
kentucky. l think the republicans will nominate
Grant"
Thomas Turner. Ninth district. says there Is no
disposition among his constituents to renominatc
