Our Washington Letter.

Washington. May Sth, 1880.
The war of the radical factions is fast
approaching point where it will be
ditlirult to arrive at any unity. The
Blame aud Grant men do not scruple
to d clare openly that they will bolt in
case of tie defeat Of their respective
favorite. The race SO far is neck and
neck, but the feeling against The third
term has been growing steadily, and
now there is no doubt that even Grants
own state Will send "a divided dtlrga-
tion. The Grantmen are eXaSparated
and are endeavoring TO combine OH
Wasl burne, but here they come in cJn
tlict with Logan and CoDklin, who de
clare that they will nominate Blaine in
preference. Altogether the fight is 4
lively one, and serious fears are enter
tainei in the minds oi the managers
that the result will be Il serious split. a
third ticket and the defeat of the Rad
ical party or at least the throwing of
the election into the House.
The great and glorious Civil Service
reformer, Carl Shulz, has signifisd lis
intention OF being present AMI making
Il speech at the st. Louis anti-lhird
term convention, Poor Cail is in Il
bad fix. His only hope is in dark
horse as neither Grant nor Blaine will
allow him to cross tie threSholl of
their do ors.

The party in Pennsylvania and thus
that state has come to te looked upon
as a steady stronghold. But this is
really not SO. The city Of Philadelphia
ncMly always over comes The Democrat

The only thing in the way Of Damo

Why Hancock Should be
Nominated

The Hancock association Of New Or
leans recently issued an address the
people, in which fourteen reasons are
given why General II. ancock should
receiv tie lltsidetial nomination, a
follows:
l. He is true xponent Of dem
ocratic theories and democratic prin
cipies.
y He has filed TO tie fRliest meas
ure the duties Of well rounded lite,
in which are singulally blended the
highest type If the American soldier
and the splendi d Xlmllifcation OF The
civil ruler.
3. lie maintains the subserviency
Of the military to the civil authority.
f. He IS personally the NEST popular
man Of the nation.
5. His nomination would secure
thousands Of votes from union soldiers
who would support no Other democratic
candidate.
6. His domination would harmo-
niZe the cOntending factions in New
York.
Z. He can carry the state of Penn
sylYania.
s. His nominal ion would create
such enthusiasm in the south as to
rtuder every state beyond doubt.
9. His character and record are
such that in no pos sible event could
he lie put upon the defe nsiye.
10. His nomination would antago-
niZa no section of tue country nor pOrs
tion Of the democratic party.
II. He better than any man living
can allay the passions OF civil strife,
drive sectiOnalism out Of politics and
fore7er end the "bloody shirt" .cruss
ades.
L. His entire life is a desire that
he would cali none to his cornsel5 but
those on whom the country could
safely reply.
Is. lie combines more elements of
strength and availability than any
other named in connection with the
presidency.
IA. If elected, he will take his seat.

THE PLATFORM NJ.
Tho resolntiong are as follows:

The resolutions are as follows:
RESOLVED, FIRST. That the Democratic, par
ty Of PENNSYLVANIA, in. convention assembled
renew our VOWS OF fidelity to the Fundamental
PRINCIPLES proclaimed and practicCd by the IL
iuStri0us men who settled our free institutions
and founded the Democratic party to protect
and preserve them.
Union the rights of the States and the liberties
Of the people are vital parts OF one harm0nlous
system. and to save each part In Us Whole con-
stitutional Yigor is TO save the lie OF the ma
tion.'
THIRD That the Democratic party main
tai1ls IS it ever has maintained, that the mill
tary are and ought to be in all things subordl-
nate to the civil authorities. 1t denies, as il
ever has denied, the right OF the Federal ad-
mniStratiOn to keep on foot at the general eX-
pense standing army TO invade the states Tor
political purposes, withouC regard to conotllu-
iional restrictions, to control the people at the
polls, TO protect and encourage fraudulent
counts OF the . votes or to lnausurate candidat
FOURTH. That the right to free ballot is
the ri ht preServative OF all rights, the only
means of peacefully redreSsing grievances and
refo Ining abuses. The presence at the polls
OF regular military force and OF host OF hire
ling officials, claiming the power to arrest and
imprfsOu citizens without warrant or hearing,
destroys all freedom of elections and upturnS
the very foundation of self government. We
call upon all good citizens to aid US in presery
ing our institutions from destruction ny these
imperial methods OF supervising the II ht OF
suffrage and coercng the popular will by keep
ing tie way to the ballot box open and free as
it was to our fathers in removing the army to
q safe distance when the people assemble to eX-
press their sovereign pleasure at the polls and
in securing obedience to their will when legally
EXPRESSED by their votes.
FIFTH. That Rutherford 8. Hayes, having
been placed in power against the well-knOwn
and legally expressed will of the people, is the
representative of a conspiracy only and his
claim of the right TO surround The ballot boxes
with troOpS and deputy maTShalS to intimidate
aud obstruct the elections, and his uGprece-
dented use Of the veto to maintain this, is an
insult aud Il menace to the country.

The Curtin Yocum contested election
case was finally "reached" on Sttur.
day. We hope it may stay reached un-
til disposed Of. There has been so
much delay. shifting and postponement
that everybody is thoroughly digusted
with the whole matter. The committee
and congress could long ago have slid
who in their opinion was elected and
entitled to the seat. Let us know the
end of the contest right soon.
LATER. just as we go to press we
see by the JATRIOT that the contest
was pressed to vote in the House and
decided in favor Of Yocum by vote Of
153 to rs. The minority report Of
the committee. declaring that Yocum
WAS entitled to the seat and Curtin
not entitled, was adopted by above
vote.

JUST at this particular time Blaine
seems to be going it with a rush. He
is without doubt the favorite candidate
for President, in the Republican party,
and it has much tie appearance as if
"Blaine of Maine" were the coming
man for the Republicans. State con-
ventions have been held last week in
New Jersey, Delaware, New Ilamp-
shire, Maryland, Tennessee, WiscOn
sin and Mississippi. Blaiae walks away
with the entire delegation of all these
except the last three. OF these Blaine
has seven out of twenty delegates in
Wisconsin, five out OF fifteen in Missi-
sSippi, while Tennessee leaves the
country i'll the dark as t. her prefe.
renee.
lie is also likely to receive consider,
able support from the New York and
Pennsylvania delegations, notwith
standing the instructions for Grant
and The unit rule. As matters now
appear there may regular stampede
from Grant to Blaine, and yet there is
no telling who will be the successful
man at Chicago. Blaine's strength may
prove his weakness.
One of the most urgent demands of

UNLIKE Pennsylvania the Buckeye
Democrats do not mean to fritter away
their strength in the Cincinnati con
vention by dir'ding their delegation
among several candidates. They speak
out in unmiStakable terms, just as our
state convention should have done, in
favor Of the unit rule and their own
favorite son, that pure, good man and
able Statesman-AIlen G.. Thurman

our living statesmen of any party. He has
more of the grsnder attributes of statesman
ship than any OF the political leaders OF our
time, and IL his health could be assured he
would make one of the most competent and
patriotio Chief Magistrates the country has
ever had. He has filled important positions
in his own State; has always been the
strongest man his party could select as its
standard bearer. and his official record is
singularly free from blemish. In disregard
of his earnest protest. he was nominated for
President in 1868, and compelled to accept
the honor; but he obeyed reluctantly, and
held New York against Grant in that
memorable struggle. In 1876 he was unsn-
imously nominated for Governor, not By
political managers, but sgsinst all their
plans and he peremptorily declined
Whistler he would accept nomination for
the Presidency now is question that none
but himself could answer; but 1t is certain
that nothing less than an imI erative demand
from the party would induce mis- assent He
is the strongest OF all the leading men who
have been discussed for the Cincinnati nom
iDation, not only as an available candidate,
but in all the qualities of great executive,
and in tue uncertainty that now clouds the

Horatio Seymour is altogether within the

Cincinnati Convention.

Especial to the Cincinnati Commercially
WASHINGTON, June 3.-There has been
good deal said here lately about hotel &C.
commodations in Cincinnati at the coming
Democratic Convention. An immense
crowd is expected. by the side of which the
crowd drawn to the Musical Festival will
seem very small. In speaking OF this mat
ter q leading Democratic Senator told your
correspondent that he thought the largest
crowd ever assembled in Cincinnati would
be there the week of the Convention. He
based his belief upon the fact that
Cincinnati is surrounded by Dem
ocrstic States, West Virginia, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Indiana, and
that Southern Ohio itself is largely Demo-
cratic in sentiment. Then the interest will
be very great, for no man has a walk over,
and the contest among candidates will likely
be cloee and prolonged, especially If the
two-thirds rule is enforced, as il will be.
The city being as hub in a wheel, with
railroad spokes running out in every dlrec-
ton. would be filed by a larger crowd than
probably ever before assembled within her
gate s. The Senator referred to thought they
could all be accommodated, but 1t would
tax the hotel and boarding house capacity of
the city to an extent never before expert
enced.

AVAILABILITY.

Among all classes Of Maryland Democrats
the impression seems to prevail that the
choice at Cincinnati should fall upon that
candidate who shall prove to be the most
available, and that individual preferences
should be promptly laid aside In favor of the
man who can win. No matter who that man
should prove TO be- we doubt not that the
Maryland delegation Will cast its full strength
In his favor.-Baltimore American.
ManifestIy the question of most impor-
lance now before the Democratic party is
who of the distinguished statesmen named
in connection with the nomination for
President at Cincinnati is the most avails-
Bile. Admitting that all are quail.
fed in character, ability and
experience in public affairs, the remaining
question relates to availability. Manifestly,
Governor Tilden, owing to the condition of
the Democratic party in New York, is not
the most available. and very large per
cent. of the party regard him as the least
available-for, to assure success, New York
aud Indiana, the two Democratic States
North, must be secured. Governor Hendricks
can carry Indiana, no matter who the
Republicans nominate. We do not say that
no other distinguished Democrat could
carry Indians, but With Hendricks for a
bearer, the State is certain to cast
its vote for him. Tnis fact is al important
factor in considering the question OF svaila-
bility. With Indiana certain for Hendricks,
the only serious matter in the further dis
cussion of availability relates to New York.
In New York, Mr.. Hendricks is as
popular as any man 50 far named in connec-
ton with the Cincinnati nomination. If he
is not, why not? Name ths men and pro-
duce the proof. We make no reference to
Republican weakness under the leadership
of any candidate named at Chicago. We
discuss Democratic strength In defiance of
the Republican psrty. No man they can
name can take Indiana from the Democratic
party with Mr.. Hendricks as the leader, and
since we believe that New York would har-
monte on Mr.. Hendricks as certainly as
upon any other candidate that could be
the conclusion ia inevitable that
Governor Hendricks, ell things considered,
stands first in the list for availability, and
the equsl, in other regards, of any man
named

The Boston Post refers to Edmunds as a
disguised imperialist, and says that $50 far as
Democratic policy and principles are con-
cerned, the country would run even less
risk under Grant than Edmunds. The one is
an open and bold aspirant for imperial
honors- The other is a sly, Jesuitical
maneuverer, to arrive at the same result by
resort to underhand tricks and stratsgem.
The danger from the one meets the country
In its face, but from the other by blows in
the dark" Edmunds is something worse
than a disguised imperialist he is a
sneak, and proved himself at the time the
electoral question was under discussion.
under the Jesuitic plea" says the Post, "of
looking from the standpoint of judge, and
with a sanctimonious appeal tU the higher
ground of statesmanspip and patriotism, he
succeeded in engineering through measure
which he knew would result In the defeat of
the popular will and the Inauguration of q
man who was never elected. The Democratic
Senators never would have consented to pass
that bill had not ne and Senator Hosr given
them to understand that the frauds and
crimes practiced by returning boards would
be inquired into and justice and truth and
right have fair play before the Commission.
How miserably they were deceived and what
q monstrous farce was played off before the
country is matter OF history too fresh to
need calculating" And this man Edmunds
is talked of at Chicago as Republican can
didate for President. If he tails in that, he
wants to be one of the Supreme Judges of
the Republic, and Democratic Senae may
be called upon to pass upon his case. He is
doubtless, one of the most dangerous men in
the country, and upon that fact rests his sole
claim for nomination in Chicago.
