eylyania newspaper opinion, the Phila-
delphla Times reports that of the sixty
six Republican journals heard from,
twenty.six favor Blaine's candidacy,
twenty-five are outspoken for Grant,
three endorse Sherman, and fifteen are
non -committal. Out Of sixty. eight Dem
ocratic newspapers, fifteen are for Tilden.
thirteen for Bayard, eleven for Hancock,
nine for Seymour, and twenty non COM
initial. As this is not by any means a
complete survey Of the newspaper field,
and newspaper sentiment is not always q
reliable indication Of political feeling,
these figures possess only relative value.
Taking them for what they are worth,
they seem to show that the Pennsylvania
Republicans are pretty evenly divided be-
tween Blaine and Grant, with Sherman
almost out of the fight, while the Demo
Gratis have four candidates with a follow
ing OF nearly even strength, TiIden being
slightly the fayorite. That Mr. Blaine
should lead the field on the Republican
side was to ba expected, notwithstanding
the talk that the Camerons had pledged
the State to Grant, but it is rather surpris.
ing to find that Mr.. Tilden, who is open
ly antagonized by the Wallace wing of
the Democratic party, should still retain
his grip; although, when it is remem.
bered that the preference expressed for
Bayard, Hancock and Seymour is vir.
tually cry of "anybody to beat Tilden."
it will be seen that the Tildenites are in
O hopeless minority.
"A Washington correspondent saws
there is good authority Tor the statement
that the Supreme Court of the United
States will refuse TO advance on the docket
the case to test the legality Of the legal
tenders, reissued under the act of 1878,
lnau2urated by Mr.. Chittenden and
General Butler. The reasons given for
the refusal are, first, because, owing to
the illness of Justice Hunt, the full bench
is not sitting; and, second. because the
Court does not desire to subject itself to
the charge of rendering judicial opin-
ion for political effect. Should the re-
port prove true Congress will be com
PEELED to tackle the financial problem, at
| least until the case is reached in its reg.
ular order, which may be several years.
= There is, says the Baltimore Gazette,
one great point in favor of; Mr.. Bayard's
nomination and election rs president that
should not DC overlooked. Delaware is
such o small State it is not likely that
enough people could be found there to,
I'LL all the offices, while in New York the
oi1ces would not go half round among
the faithful unless the present lot was
quadrupled. II is expecting almost too
much in these degenerate days, but if we
had such maa as Thomas 4. Bayard in
the Presidential chair about four wears
we would all feel prouder of our country
at the end of that time than we have ever
done since the Democratic party went
out of the Presidential business.
