Tilden,S Chances.

One remarkable feature of the Democratic
conventions which have thus far chosen del
egates to Cincinnati is, that while in but
few instances have positive instructions been
given for Tilden, the instructions for any
other candidate have been fewer still. H.
while uninstructed, are understood to favor
either Tilden or his legatee. The notion
prevalent some time ago that he only wanted
to name the candidate is now abandoned
nominated. The only serious obstacle to
his candidacy, the belief that Kelly's oppo-
sition in New York would make it impossi.
BILE for him to carry that state, he can un-
doubtedly remove. As soon as he sees the
nomination within his reach he will make
terms with Kelly, silencing his opposition at
any price which that shrewd politician may
demand. To any objection on the score Of
the party divisions in New York, Tilden's
confidential agents will say at Cincinnati
"Don't give yourself any uneasiness about
that. We understand New York politics,
we know what we say when we tell you that
those difficulties will be removed, and will
not stand in the way of Democratic success. "
And Tilden will keep that promise. He
will agree to make John Kelly governor
Of New York or to give him place in his
cabinet, and he will give security satisfac.
tory to Kelly that the promise is made in
good faith and will be kept so far as the
success of the Democratic party enables Til.
den to keep it. lie may not have the office
of governor in his gift, and he cannot make
Kelly a cabinet minister unless the people
first make him president, aud that, it is
quite certain, they will never do, but not
because of John Kelly's opposition.

UNLOCKED FOR SUPPoRT.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Springfield Repub
lican says There are great many queer
things about the Grant movement, but per
haps the queerest of all is the fact that the
ex-vice-president of the southern confederacy
is using all his influence to secure the nom
ination this week of the ex-president of the
United States. Aleck Stephens has long
had high admiration for Grant, and he has
gone 50 far within the last day or two as to
urge upon hesitating colored delegates from
his own state to Chicago, who have stopped
over here on their way to the convention and
called upon him, that the best thing for then
to do was to drop Sherman and Blaine and
go in for the ex-president. Stephens pro
fesses to regard Grant as the strongest can
didate the Republicans could nominate, and
he explains the anomaly of his advocating
the choice by his opponents of their strong
est champion by saying that the Democrats
are likely to throw away their chances by
nominating Tilden or somebody else who
can't be elected, and he, therefore, wants II
have the Republican candidate a man il
whose hands he would consider the future
of the country safe"

WHILE WAITING.-The following rehec-
tions of an exchange are timely and appro-
pirate "The convention about to assemble
may, like others which have passed, result
in nominations little thought of now, as did
the last. There is much for the Republican
party yet to do-much for mankind, much
for the race it liberated, much for the nation
it saved. Men are nothing The great
wave rolls on and they are engulfed, but
thus far there has been Providence which
has ruled and guided the course of that
party in whose keeping the cause of man
has been confded, even in spite of its lead
ers. We are fully prepared to accept the
good old Presbyterian doctrine of election in
the matter of Republican nominations fol
president. Our nominee at Chicago will be
of the elect-and elected

Western Vermont Methodists.


As before stated, the action Of the late
general conference in transferring that por-
ton of the Troy conference lying In Yer
mont, embracing the west side Of the noun
tains south Of and including Burlington, to
the Vermont conference, Is encountering the
same opposition which successfully resisted
its accomplishment some twenty years ago.
An informal meeting of the disaffected
churches was held at Rutland last week,
which adopted series Of protesting resolu-
tions, and chose committee Of five preach
ers and five laymen TO call convention Of
the churches affected by this transfer, to be
held in the month of june to take more
definite and formal action in the matter.
The principal reasons of this insubordina-
ton, so far as we can learn, are stated by
the Rutland Herald, as follows;
In the present state OF feeling on this side
there cannot be much cordially between the two
sections. Doubtless this feeling would be modi-
fed by time, but there is-and was when the Yer
mont conference made similar attempt at trans
fer twenty years ago-a strong feeling on this side
Of the Green Mountains averse TO receiving minis
ters from the east side The belief that the trans
fer was brought about, as prominent minister
expressed IL, "by chicanery, intensifes the feel
ing. The Green Mountains furnish natural ge-
ographcal boundary, across which the churches
on this side do not wish TO go; they have no ac-
quaintance or sympathy-other than In their great
work-with the east side, and express determin-
alton to receive no ministers therefrom.
OF course we cannot deny that chican-
cry" was resorted to to accomplish the
