ever to The party he has 50 we'll served.
Looking at the action Of the Conven.
ton which nominated Mr. Thompson
by but the fraction Of vote, from
! his standpoint, il is but human nature
! for Judge ID. and his many friends to
, feel that he was euchred out Of the
nomination, whether that be fact or
not, and it is also but natural that he
should have wanted TO see himself
, vindicated by the people. His rcfu-
: sal, therefore, to make the race, which
would have been on entirely personal
grounds, and would have engendered
the worst of feelings and the intensest
bitterness, tor the sake ofharmony in
the party, especially on the eve Of our
great National battle, is an act that
will he promptly rewarded by the De
mocracy whenever he desires il. With
his National reputation, acquired in
six years of hard service in Con.
gress, his devotion to the principles of
his party, and his well.known ability
for faithfully performing every trust
imposed on him, Judge Durham can
afford to be magnanimous, and for the
sake of an undivided Democracy,
every true Democrat will rejoice that
he has shown that commendable spirit.
THE issue is not Grant or Tilden.
It's victory or defeat. No man who
has declared-even though the decla.
ration came from betwixt the sherry
and the champagne that in case Til.
den is defeated he will espouse the
cause Of Grant will be permitted to
lay down a policy and make Ken
lucky Democrats waltz up to it"
We care not whether Kentucky's del
egates to Cincinnati areTilden or anti
Tilden, so their individual preferences
are not of so pronounced a character
as to carry them over to the enemy in
case they do not meet their fruition.
Mr.. Watterson has declared that he is
not averse TO going to Cincinnati as a
delegate from the State at large, but
the State at large will be very averse
to having him 60 in that capacity un-
til he comes out from his maze Of met
aphorical confusion and lets us see ex-
actly where and how he stands. -

Next Monday is the day set apart
by Watterson to print the resolutions
which are to be Waited up" to by
the Democracy of the State when they
assemble in Convention at Lexington
on the Tih of June. We rather sus-
pect that this gentleman's bullying has
gone just far enough, and that there
will be very little of The walizing up
on the occasion. The cry comes up
from all parts of the State, "Send true
men as delegates to Cincinnati, but
leave them free to vote as they may
deem best for the good of the party"
We endorse every word of the Dam
vile 1droc Gte's complimentary re.
marks about Senator j. III. Bruce.
We had occasion during the session
to observe how highly he was held in
the esteem of his colleagues, and how
greatly his dignified influence was I
felt. We would like to see him go I
back to the Capital, and If he wants
10 60 be can count us for him, first,
last and all the time.
MCDONALD, one of the st. Louis !
whisky ring, who served a term of 4
for his crooked acts, n
'ays that he has letters and other evi. .
fences to prove that he suffered his \
sentence to shield Grant, who was con- b
,erned in the ring, and that if he il =,
nominated for the Presidency, he in
ends to put up his proof 1t will be r!
'ich, rare and racy. :
The friends OF Mr. w. d. Gun. Il
bingham, editor of the Richmond u
Herald, will urge his selection as
hector by the Lexington Convention. 9,
The selection would be a good one, :,
nd would be just compliment to a ca
rue Democrat, who has done in the S,
anks some good work for his party. "
THURMAN is not so dead after ALL y
he great State Of Ohio has instruct a
q far him, and he has also been "
hosen pro tempore President Of the cy
enate. There are few better men in at
he Democratic party than the old III
entlemen.
A BIG majority OF the four hundred co
elogates to the Northern Methodist Ci
ieneral Conference at Cincinnati have IN
expressed themselves for Grant. As ~ !.
ob Ingersoll would say, that church "
and always was the meanest politi. II,
II body in the country. nj
The feom0n has gone back to its tic
i-weekly issue, to the regret Of every vo
swspaper man in the State. Stan. be
m promises, though, to add seyeral in
Iieresting features, which will par
ally repay the loss of the "daily." ca
