- The Carolina Spartan says that after
some inquiry as to the wishes of the people
of Spartanburg county, 'it seems that ma
jority of them are in favor Of primary

girl, publishes the following card in the Reg,
lister "In view of the reports in part of the
daily press, that have been bound over to
court on the charge of indecent assault, |
deem it my duty to myself, my family and
my friends to declare, in the most positive

utterly and absolutely false; and ask sus'
pension of public opinion in the matter until
it has been passed upon by the proper tribu'
nal. The simplest justice accords this to
every man and ask no more"

An Oswego New York; editor addressed
circular letter to the Democratic papers Of
the State, asking their opinions as to the advi
stability of renomnating Tilden, and as to the
sentiment in the counties where the papers
are published, respectively. Seventy replies
were received from that number of Demo
cratic journals published in fifty counties.
Only thirteen of the replies were favorable to
Tildeu, and several of them in a qualified
manner. Fifty.seven Democratic editors re-
corded themselves and the journals they con.
troll as unalterably opposed to Tilden's renom-
ination, and as rule they gave the opinion
that he could not carry the State. With but
few exceptions, those who returned replies un-
favorable to Tilden expressed the opinion
that very many Democrats would vote against
him even if he were made the nominee of
their party This exhibit probably startled
Mr.. Tilden's friends and supporters in the
State. 1t shows that the opposition to him
comprises majority of the party, and the in
fiuential portion of it, too. 1t shows, also,
that Mr.. Tilden occupies very different place
in the estimation of his party from that held
by him in 1876. Then the Democratic pa
pers, with few exceptions, were doing battle
for him; now they are against him. The re-
plies received did not include any of the me-
tropolitan papers, the inquiry being directed
to journals outside New York City and Brook
lyn.
