Senator Chandler rises once more with character
istc good sense to give his views on the talk about
himself as a Presidential candidate. 81 do not de-

One Of the soft-money statesmen has reached his
Western home from Washington with the declara
ton that Tilden hasn't three friends in Congress,
and that Thurman will be the next Democratic
candidate for the Presidency. Ii Congress were to
decide upon the candidate this might be true, but
Congress mas a curious habit of picking out the man
whom the party declines t0 nominate. The Solid
South will name the man, and the SOLID South Is
slowly and surely beng corTalled IN pocket.
The astonishing statement is made in prominent
Southern journals that il Mr.. Tllden had had the
pluck to make stand for the Presidency in 1876,
80 600 men were ready TO march from the South TO
Washington in his support. Heretofore we have

Mr.. WattesOn walks promptly up to his weekly
duty of reprimanding Hendricks. He IS entirely
calm this time, and gives the Indiana statesman
more solid truth than he has heard for long time.
He tells him that he and his friends are miser-
ably mlsled now as they in 1876; that he has
10 strength in the South, none at all IN Kentucky,
but is the weakest OF all the Democratic candidates
tor the Presidency at this time; that John Kelly Is
