TiIdon continues to withdraw By capturing solid


delegations.
Anybody can hear the popular clamor against
third term, but nobody reports the discovery of
popular demand for it.
The Anti-Tildenites manifest considerable emo
ton over the news from Oregon that solid Tilden
delegation has been elected there. They say the
news is incorrect, because O dispatch to Justice
Fields friends says veof the six delegates are for
him. Both reports may be true, since there is no
necessary conflict between them. Judge Field has
said repeatedly that if Tilden desires the nominal
ton the party is bound to give 1t 70 him. and II ne
does not want it. he must be permitted to name the
succession. There has been good deal of reason to
suspect that Tlldep's choice for the succession
would be Judge Field himself.
If there ID Grant stronghold in Massachusetts,
Boston is clearly enough not the place. Off 252
delegates to the State Convention chosen last week,
only six or eight are in favor of third term This
is most significant revelation, when 1t is remem-

Journal has been favoraby inclined In the same d.

1t is evident that nearly all the encouragement
which the third term movement will get from State
conventions from now till the Illinois Convention
meets on May 10, will come from the South All
the Northern States are certain to elect dele
cations whose majorities will be anti-Grant. The
Iowa Republicans will meet on Wednesday and
elect an almost or quite unanimous Blaine dele
CATION. Tho Massachusetts, Republicans, on Thurs
day, will elect an unpledRed delegation, made up Of
Edmnnds, Blaine, Sherman, Grant and Washburne
delegates On April 81 the Oregon Republicans
will choose what is promised to be a Blaine dele
CATION. The Ohio Republicans meet on the 2Sth,
and there are no signs that they will elect single
Grant delegate. On the Goth, California will fall
in with solid Blaine delegation. New-Hampshire
Wisconsin will elect delegation divided between
Blaine, Washbune and Sherman. Nevada elects on
