friends shall cut loose from the leader
ship of men like Randan and Wood,
the better. Sam Randall and Fernando
Wood, are trimmers, and tricksters,
and traffickers-no true L, -uocrats. A
Southern man should be Speaker, and
a Western man should be Chairman of
the Committee on Ways and Means. -

Bdn Mr.. Tilden's sagacity as a re-
sumption prophet has been defended at
last. One of his organs declares that
he based his prediction of the failure of
resumption on the ground that the NAM
ing of particular day was hindrance.
Time" says the organ, has abun-
dainty vindicated the wisdom of his
position" for if the day had not been
fixed we would have had resumption in
August last. In the language of the
vulgar, this is "ripper." r."-N. Y.

BaEn There is such an amount OF
twaddle in the Northern press about the
effect of Governor Nichols recent visit
to Concordia and Tensas Parishes, in
reference TO the lawless deeds of the
mobocratic Democracy there, that it is
worth while to mention that here in
Louisiana, whatever may be thought OF
the good intentions of the State Execu-
tive, his Excellency is regarded, in Che
sense of enforcing the law against such
crimes, as the most impotent Governor
ever holding the Office. .--Nea0 Orleans
Observer.
Ba@ Poor Thurman has constructed
beautiful dilemma for himself by de.
clining in such unnecessary haste thai
nomination for Governor of Ohio next
year. If he had said nothing about il
! till the time came around he might
have got rid of the disagreeable posi-
ton without creating such a storm
But his undue haste has created a sus-
picion in the Ohio Democratic mind
that he is afraid of being beaten, and
the whole party is in a ferment. If he
persists in his refusal, he may as wei
| give up his Presidential hopes, for hC
will not be able to get delegation u
the National Convention in his favor
1t will amount to the same thing, o
course, if he consents to run, for h,
Will be beaten, unless a miracle is &C
complished.-N. Y. Tribune.
Ba~ The pushers of the Bayard move
ment are the Understanding men il
the Democratic party at present. They
are "heaving" all along the line from
Maine to Texas. They have two part
to their programme. First, they mear
to convert the party to hard money b!
main strength, and, second, TO nomi
nate Bayard on hard-money platform
This is a good deal of job, and it
progress will be watched with interest
When the West has been converted +,
sound money, and the nomination ha
been consented to, then third part,
will have to be added. 1t will be neces
sary to convince the North of the wis
dom of putting into the Presidential
chair at this critical time a man who i
a Southerner by birth and education
and thorough Southern sympathize
on all public questions. If the Soil,
South could elect President of itself
Mr.. Bayard would be desirable can
didate for party to nominate.
Ba~ Mr.. Samuel Randall seems to b
afraid that the South may receive som
justice while he is Speaker. We con
slider him as worse than the Northern
WIN dlO W VI
what is right in the matter. Our lead
ers in Congress may dilly-dally as lon
as they please with this sort of men
but we don't intend to waste any NOR
time with them. 1t is worse than foil
TO ask the people of the South to fol
low the lead of such men as Randall
Some of the Republicans at the Mort
are certainly abler and better tina
many of our so-called friends, an
when they begin to seek strength wit
the white people, where it is to b
found, and by kindness, look out fo
cracking among old timbers. Th
hide-bound Democrats of the Mort
will have to stand aside Vicksbui

BaS- AS the Southern case stands,
is as prejudicial for "the South" as II
present aspect of the cipher dispatch'
, is for Mr.. Tilden. There is no INTEL
! gent person in the country who doub
, that his most intimate and contidenti
/ agents tried to procure the PresidenC
e for him by bribery. Whether or NJ
that conviction will prevent his nom
9 nation by his fellow-partisans, it wi
): surely cost him the support of the ho
2 est independent vote which was large
8 cast for him in 1876, and that will d
a feat his election. So, as the case stan'
) with the Southern elections, there
really no doubt whatever in the min,
of intelligent men at the North tn
q these elections We're largely carried
5 gross fraud and violence. This co
D viction will not change unless d
= charges are disproved, and the simp
question for 1880 will be whether, up'
