are seriously told at one time that Tilden's
power favors a general Republican sweep
this year, 50 as to prepare the way for the
reaction in his own favor in 1880. At an
other time we learn that Mr.. Tilden has
changed his mind, and ran to carry New
York and Pennsylvania this fall to show
his strength. Similar speculations come
to us about Republican operations in Maine.
Ohio, New York and other States. A good
deal Of this is mere talk. but it is not all
idle gossip. Behind it all there is enough
truth to reveal the existence Of . serious
element Of trouble in our politics. While
such distractions prevail the attempt TO
make the State elections hinge upon impor-
tsnt questions Of national legislation or
policy must be greatly embarrassed The
soiidity Of the South for the Democratic
party prevents all such Presidential
canvassing in that section, as the South
has no candidates for that Office and
il not likely to have any. Tins situated,
the South il able to encourage first q

agree with GENERAL Grant that two terms
