after Mr.. THden IS retired from tne

Judge Field. The growing feeling that
DART horse will be selected has its origin In
the oe.ief that neither Of The leading can@'
dates who have so Tar contested the nomiha'
f,oo with Mr.. Tiidcn will be sbie to secrre
any considerable uuNber OF Ids delegates
for ttyese delegates have been for mostns
srdorsripated witilthe idea that because Dir.
Ti,Aen was fairly elected In 776 aud cheated
out OF the presidency by the Republicans
that ne is. therefore, entitled TO 1t Us mat
Ter az right In 1850. Hence those who have
worked 10 defeat him uneer these eircum.
stances cannot reasonably expect that either
he or those be controls will help Bayard,
Hancock, or Field to secare what ail Tilden
men say belongs TO Tildcn.
ON the other hand, there Is more reason
10 suppose that those are right VINO predict
that the Tnden delegates willee for new
man, because such candidate will not only
be less Objectionable 10 their chief. but VIII
feed that be owes his candidacy to them.
Delegates to national conventions who have
a strong organization do not usually trans
fer it to a rival OF their defested favorite,
for 10 doing this they have TO play second
fiddle to his original friends. This is the
reason the Blaine and Sherman men at Chi
cago were more willing to go to Garfield
than TO Grant, and the Grant men to sup
port Edmupds or Window than Blaine.
Democratic human nature does materially
differ from Republican human nature. and
therefore we will not be surprised to find
the New York delegation supporting Gov
ernor Randolph, Of New Jersey, Governor
English, OF Connecticut. MIR. Jewett, or
some one not now more prominent than
either after Mr.. Tilden is out OF the race.
Whoever is nominated, however. will te an
available candidate, for we hear OF no dele
gate to the Convention from the South or
West who does not declare that he is will
ing 10 give up his personal choice il the
northern Democrats can convince him that
some other candidate can most certainly Sc
cure a larger vote in their section. We
have heard more than one Virginia delegate
say, 1--WE are for that man who can most
certainly carry the States OF Connecticut,
New York, New Jersey, and Indiana"
And this Is the feeling o! an overwhelming
majority OF those about to assemble at Gin
cinnati. This will secure an available ticket,
and with such a one victory Is certain for
the National Democracy In November.
