of 1880 is decided, the moment he
is nominated. l have talked with
hundreds, both Republicans and
Democrats, and like me their first
chOce-,hpir last and only choice
is Tom Bayard; and ii you of the
South could only know the popular
feeling for him, you certainly would
either have him or break from the
party. There is going to be ire
mentlous Independent vote cast
this fall, and it is going to turn the
whole result. If Grant is nominated.
no one but BayaId can beat him.
Ii Sam Tilden is nominated, he is
defes, Ell from the start; for there
are thousands who will vote for
Grant, or even Il worse man, if such
u thing were possible, in preference
to Tilden. l have written at length
on this subject, merely to show you
the feelings of the people. WHO are
fighting the politicians. We are
tired OF the &c bloody shirt tiaed of
"war cries." and only beg to have
the chance to be represented as the

Misunderstanding a few political
bees, that are trying to suck more
honey out of the comb-this is the

why that speech was pu blisbed.
