Seymour shonId ask protection from Mr.. Bergh.


Every Tilden agent. including Barnum ana Wee"'
odmits that he doesn't know whether Iilden wishes
n denomination OF not. The chances are that ihuoh
doesn't know either
The Democratic mud operators seem to lorge'
that all their ammunition has been condemned aS
worthless General Garfelds record as stateS-
man has been built up almost entirely since theSe
old AMI feeble scandals first published. III tne
face of them the Republicans of OHIO have contih-
ued to send him to Congress with Larger ana iargea ger
majoritles, and their final verdict on Ghein was no
election of n Legislature whose kepuDilcah hIg,h 9
hers voted unanimously to make him SENATOR NO

II the Democrats only would nominate Mcclellan
for President! What fun there would DC!

The great trouble with the Democracy seems to
| be that they have no candidate who IS at once
strong and acceptable to Tildeu. Nearly all the
best men in the party have at one time or another
trodden on TTldens toes or have had relatives VINO
have done So Henry Is. Payne. Hancock and McClel-
lam ere obout the only ones who have not tnus
offended, and they are for one reason or anotneI
crippled before the people. The best thing 20 D Io

IF Payne and Potter is no longer a safe combina
tion with CART Id in the field, why not turn II
around and try Potter and Paynei Alas, Mr. III
den does not bear that affection for his next-doOi
peghbor which would warrant the experiment.
| Governor Foster. who is competent authority vi
Ohio politics, says Gar6ed's majority IN OctoDel
will be larger than his own was last year. AS ioi
the slanders which the Democrats are reviUng, the
Governor tells reporter of The Cincinnati CONNER
cjaI that they have real foundation. Inc
charges against him are to be considered as thor
ouVhly settled. From what | know about them
and I think l know all about them, there
isn't the slightest reason to believe in his cor
