SENATOR BAYARD last night, was
received with one of the most laudatory
greetings ever witnessed in Wilmington

from Mr.. Tilden, were all necessary to

vote for Hancock and they would
elect him without Indiana. But 1ndi-

to elect Hayes, where are the Kepubh-

as sure to be elected as the election day

necessary for the expenses of govern
