TILDEN seems to have cut the democratic
party off without Il shilling.
LYMAN TRUMBULL cuts u pitabe figure
hanging around Cincinnati hoping that some
kind of q chance will favor him.
THE article in the democratic organ head ed
"Garfeld's Credit No bilier Record Condensed"
is clear case of concentrated io."
TIE delegates find it as hard to make up
their minds about Tilden RS he has found it
to make up his mind about the presidency.
WITH Tilden displeased and John Kelly
enraged, there will not be much left of ef-
fcctive machinery to carry the pivotal state.
~ WOULD rather have that old man dead and
stuffed in the White House than two.thirds of
the fellows who are trying to get there" said
Senator Barnun, after reading Sammy US letter.
JUDGE HoADLEY's fine presence and schol-
ary ways are justly admired at Cincinnati,
but the burIy form and close-cropped crown of
Jahn Kelly will be the moro effective on
election dSy.
THE democratic managers could not find an
orthodox minister of the gospel in Cincinnati
who was q democrat. The nearest thoy ould
come to it was in Rev. q. w. Wendt, uni

The World is much displcasod with the se-
lection of Judge Hondloy as temporary chair
man of the Cincinnati convention. 1t says {:
"Mr. Hoadloy is n republican by instinct aud
association, and democrat only by recent and

THE great couundrum before the conven-
ton is still Mr.. Samuel j, Tden, and this
gcntlcman's power aud influence over other
men has mover been more conspicuously shown

democratic convention TO fall into his own pet

whose services us soldier should bo justly
rated as second to none, unless to those Of his
confidential friend, General George II. Thomas,

middle aisle to shake hands solemnly with
John Kelly. The crowd cheers, aud General
Hampton, having fulfilled this important
public duty, laboriousy stumps all the way
back TO his seat
