WIN. H, ENGLISH FOR PRESIDENT.

We observe quite number of Indiana demo
cratic papers have started boom IN favor
of VIM. H. English, of that state, as the demo-
cratic candidate for the Presidency, and the
Peoria Democrat, of this state, whose editor,
the Hon. w. T. Dowdsll, is well acquainted
with Mr.. English, has caught the infection,
and Joins the Indiana boom with great enthu'
siasm. The Democrat says, among other
things:
The nomination OF Mr. English would give
greater confidence to the business men OF the
entire counry-especially in New York, than
that of any gentlemen who has been named
for the position, while his democracy, "a well
as that of his father and his grandfather before
him, is so well and favorably known az to be-
satisfactory to every member Of that old time
bon0rcd organization in the land combining
to a greater degree all the elements OF charac'
ter necessary to successfully lead the demOcra
CIV to victory than any other gentleman, we
can but think his nomination should be made.
Mr. English, it appears, was member OF
congress up to the breaking out of the war of
the rebellion, his last speech in the house be
ing an earnest and eloquent appeal in favor oi
n vigorous prosecution of the war until the re-
u
bellion should be crushed. He declined re.
election and engaged in the banking business,
in which he has accumulated an immense for
tune, so that his candidacy would be great
convenience, at least, If the size of his "bar'l'
is worth taking into consideration. Dnrng
all the troublous times from 'Gl to 70, how
ever, he has renamed a staunch democrat,
and, wlth Mcdonald and the body of the better
grade Of the Indiana democracy, has continued
firm advocate of "hOnest money" though by
no means an enemy of the greenback as pref.
cradle to bank notes as the permanent paper
money of the country. Mr. English appears
to be man of commanding talent, OF IRE.
proachable life, brother of Gov. English of
Connecticut, and an honorable descendant of
the Engishes of revolutionary fame. As Indi-
ana will from necessity cut very important
figure in the coming presidential contest, wei
are quite ready to agree with the friends of Mr..
English generally that his name and claims
deserves a very respectful consideration indeed
in casting about for really available demo,
cratic candidate for 1880.
