Mr.. Tilden We still regard as having no
read his fate in that o; Generai Grant at Chi
cugo. The two-thirdi rule Is q barrier over
which he cannot leap into the Presidential
arena. But above all IS the consideration that

absolutely imposslbleto elect the Democratic
nominee without tho vote of New York. and
Mr.. Tllden is at once dismissed to Gramercy

Mr.. Garfleld'e career has, been steadily up
everywhere. He is eminently a safe man.
nnd he Is as true as steel 70 tho principles OF

judicial mind, which dts him particularly for
the Office Of President.

Chicago Convention. in case Grant was beaten
representing Its ideas and Its purposes but
1t twas not imagined that the choice would
fall upon one whose record, like that of Gar.

scandalous regime. Had Bunyan's man with
n muck rake sIfted the whole lot. Garfield
would have been picked out as the fullest
who sprang up and fattened on the corruption
Of those days.

We Sc no reason why he should not get as
many votes rs any other man, with the IJOss-
ible exception of Washburne, whose absence
from recent conflicts and whose popularity
with the Germans would have been great
points IN his favor. He will unite the party
with less Of jealousy than any other candi
