BAYAEp ogr OF .TpE RACE.

Senator Thomas F. Bayard, of Dele
ware, has been favorably mentioned as
candidate for the Democratic nomna-
ton for President. As Senator his
record is without stain or blemish, and
he has never been connected with any
Of the plundering rings which iSsest
the National Capital. Early in the
present session of Congress he took a
decisive stand on the financial ques-
ton, and is the only person of note in
Congress, who favors the recommen-
dation made by Hayes in his message,
to deprive government notes of their
legal tender power. There has been a
suspicion that Bayard's speech in favor
Of this proposition was made for the
purpose OF strengthening his boom
among the capitalists and National
banks, but those who claim to know
him best say he only expressed his hon.
est convictions. However that may be,
he is now virtually out of the Presiden-
tial race. The New York Snn, which,
though opposed to Grant aud modern
Republicans generally. always has been
true to the Union, discovered that Bay
ard at Dover, Delaware, in 1861, spoke
in favor of resolutions recognizing the
Confederacy, unless the seeded States
would peaceably return to the Union,
The Sun, rs well as great many DEM
ocratic papers, IS averse to any candi-
date who did not favor the suppressioa
of the rebellion, and has come out
openly against Bayard. The Philade[
phia Times, which, like the Sun, is
opposed to Grantism, also abandons
Bayard, and many acknowledged Lead
ers in the Democratic party are doing
likewise, and the Bayard boom is vir-
tually over. How the South Carolina
ans, who have formed Grant and Bay
ard clgbs, will be affected by the
reaction against their favorite for Vice
President on the Grant ticket, remains
to, be seen, but it is tolerably certain
that Bayard will not be the Dewocratic
nominee for President.

Republican conventions were held in
all the Congressional districts of Indi-
ana, yesterday, for the election of dele
gates to the Chicago Convention. In
the FIRST District no instructions were.
given by the convention. The prefer
ences of the delegates are Blaine fins.
and Washbnrne second. In the See-
ond District resolutions OF instruction
favoring Blaine and Harrison were
passed; Third District, no instructions;
Fourth District, for Sherman; Fifth
District, NO instructions; Sixth District,
no instructions; Seventh District, in
structions to vote against the nomina--
ton of any man for third term
Blaine first choice; Eighth District, no
instructiens-th Blaine element pre-
dominates; Ninth District, decidedly
for Blaine; Tenth and Eleventh Dis
tricts, No instructions; Twelfth and
thirteenth. Districts, conventions adopt
ed resolutions favoring Blaine as first
choice and Washburne- second.
The delegates from the various Con-
gSessional districts of Illinois who met
at the Grand Pacific Hotel, in Chicago,
with the, Republican State Central
Committee to confer regarding the can
vass. and to report concerning the con-
dition Of their respective sections, were,,
as regards Presidential preferences,
nearly equally divided on Grant and
Blaine, but there was clear majority
of anti Grant delegates. Sherman had
some friends, but Washburne had a
stronger support. Riaine's friends went
into the conference with determina-
ton to make it absolutely devoid of
personal liking, but they were driven
from their peaceful councils by the
friends of Grant, who struck out for
the third term. The name of Grant
secured the loudest applause, but the
friends of Blaine were numerous and:
stout-hearted.

A San Francisco dispatch says:
There is an intense Keeling pervaiing all

and movements of the agitators have
caused many to consider whether it
would not be best to invite the war at
once and have done with is, and the
Workingnsen, fearing they Nave gone
too far, are preparing to resist the
threatened attack. The feeling among
business people is that if this agitation
is kept up much longer it were better
for all concerned to see the end OF it, no
matter what the cost.
