NEW YORK Sun: Mr.. Bayard is very
good man, as good as other people. lie
never picked pocket, or filched from the
purse of the nation, but when it comes to
talk about actually electing him, he is no.
where. He would benowhere near carrying a
majority of the electoral votes. Sherman
could beat him. Blaine could beat him.
Gen. Hawley could beat him. Almost any
Republican but Grant could beat him.
The Portland daily press., 1879-11-21

NEW YORK Herald: The country would
prefer Mr.. Bayard-to name only one prom
inent Democratic either of several Repub-
licans, if only it dared to believe that Mr..
Bavard would be the master of his party,
and that he would not, as last February,
weakly surrender to the extremists. 1t is
that surrender Of Bayard, Herman, Ran
dolph, Lamar, Gordon, Hewitt and large
number of wise, prudent and conservative
men to the extreme and untrustworthy
wing of their party, which to-day almost fa-
tally weakens the Democratic prospects, and
not the loss of New York and Ohio.
