GOVERNOR SWAMI.
Ex-Governor Swami, Fourth district,
talked without the least reserve on the
Presidential outlook for 1880. 81
think" said he, 'that Tilden Is out OF
the question, not because I have not
the highest regard for his character and
uprIghtness, but solely on the ground
that'he has not the physical vitality re-
CURED to properly administer the office.
That was the view entertained by the
late Mr.. Kerr when Tll6en was first
mentioned. and heartily concur in il
now. as / did then. Maryland certain
" is not in faver Of his denomination.
Mr.. Bsyard Is q most estimable gentle
man, but we must take into considera-
ton the State backing man has. The
great States Of New York and Pennsyl-
vania can almost command the situa-
ton.
There will be Bayard's weakness,
fear. / suppose Tilden could carry
Maryland, but il will not do to be too
positive. Admitting that the Republic
cans nominate Grant, which take now
to be almost certainty, we might have
trouble in our State. Many Democrats,
| know, feel just as do-that they
could not vote for Mr.. Tilden because
he lacks vitality. Coming home after
such foreign ovation, Grant will enter
the arena with great eclat, and the
Democracy will have to select their
candidate with great care If they ex-
pect to win. OF course it is TOO early
vet 10 make any predictions, but ] hope
and trust that we shall not be driven to
accept Tilden, for the sentiment against
him is strong all over the South and
West.
| DR.. HENKLE.
DR.. E. ]. Henkle. of the Filth Mary
land district, has very positive views
about the proper policy for his State.
"The sentiment of Maryland, so far as
/ have been able tojudge, is very large
" against Tilden, and I hope sincerely
they will not make any further attempts
TO force him upon the country. We
want conservative man on the money
issues. who can harmonic oil the con-
hicting elements m the party, for we
shall have to rely largely on that. TIL
den can't do it. Whether true or not.
the people in large numbers believe
that he did not stand firm in 1916 be-
cause he was surrounded by the Wall
street influence, which was strong
enough TO induce him to accept q dis
graceful compromise rather than pre-
cipitate disturbance. He has passed
his whole life rs a lawyer identified
| with vast monopolies and corporations
not in sympathy with the people, and
this is enough to faint him as an auto
crat.
"For The next campaign we must
have a man thoroughly conservative
and thoroughly in sympathy with the
progressive measures OF the West and
South. MY own preference for 1880
is Hendricks. For the best interests oi
the party he consented in 1875 to take
the second place on the ticket at sac
| r;fee and think The head Of the ticket
now belongs TO him by sort Of Implied
right. A great many Of our people
think the same way. Bayardi Well,
Bayard is a most estimable gentleman
of undoubted integrity of character, but
doubt whether he would prove strong
in the West and South. More than that,
Bayard is young enough and can afford
to wait. think the strongest ticket
we could nominate would be Hendricks
and Bayard. With that we could sweep
the country against any Republican
nominees. only hope they viii run
Grant, Is now seems probable"
Mr.. William Walsh, Of the Sixth
Maryland district, is now, and has been
for some time, sick this home in Cum
berland.
