WASHINGTON, Dec. LIST, 1879.
There Is remarkable tribulation among the
democrats as to the next campaign, aud singu-
arly enough. no matter how they decide tbeI
diherenee, the result. is equally gratifying to
Republcana. Thus the indiana democrats are
quite sure that nobody but Hendricks can carry
Nat state Ohio democrats think that nobody
but a iayorite con can carry that State (they
don't monitor Thurman as often as they did)
TIlden's folks assert boldly that neither Hen
drickf, Thurman, nor any other democrat can
carry New York, nobody, in fact, except Tilden
and the later boomers say that none of those
cards" will do, but that other candidates must
be trotted out. There can be no mistake that
the Bayard boom is the strongest Ia the South,
where all the democratic electoral vote will
come from. Probably Congressman Ellis, Of
Louisiana, told the truth as nearly as any one
can, when he says Tho southern democrats
will be satisfied with Bayard, and will give him
every southern vote, or with Hancock, or Hen
bricks, or Judge Field, or David Davis,-in
short, the South will accept any good democrat,
with the single exception OF Mr.. Tilden, as
have said" The signs are very emphatic that
the Bsyard men have worked up his boom 30
industrIously that they have almost driven
Tilden out OF the southern field, and the literary
bureau will have TO be re established to renew
the Tilden boom. However, closing the sub
jeet as began it, these little democratic differ
ences OF opinion show rs that none OF the
democratic candidates can carry Indiana, Ohio,
or New York, and therefore tina contest il
settled III advances by the democrats them
selves.
a project is on foot, and Will have much
support in Congress at the very outset to ed
tablieh new bureau probably in the Interior
Department, 70 have charge OF mining affairs.
There il great need OF some government super
Vision in the matter. 1t would be the means
Of developing new mineral resources. The late
developments in Virginia, North Carolina, and
other Eastern States has heightened the de-
lire among mining people for Bureau which
IAN direct the capital and labor into the proper
ields, and be protection to al concerned.
Why should there be any opposition to this
)rcject?
The democrats here are growing anxious
'bout their raid on the seat OF senator Kellogg
lence Ia the effort to unseat him. go as to make |
ure OF a maj Jointly in the Senate IN 1891, bu; |
hey have Weakened the facts are so clearly /
gainst them. Washington is not good place
o work Up political cases for the States just
ow. The stealing OF the Name Legislature
7ss fixed up here, and there is great Ind,gna-
ion among the faithful because the Maine
emocrats didn't appear to have the courage to
erfect the conspiracy.
Evidently the democratic m;jority are in no
urry to get at the public business this year.
sual!y the appropriation committees meet and
ct things in shape before the session opens,
ut this year nothing has been done, and the
opresson ls that very little will be dore be-
1re tue holidays.
