GENERAL ITEMS.
Our Washington letter says"increa
sed interest is of course felt in the
coming democratic convention, now
that the republican convention is in
session. 1t is known everywhere that
there is large majority of demo-
cratic Congressman who are opposed
to the denomination of Mr.. Tilden,
and perhaps this point, for that rea-
son is not one where a correct judg-
msnt of the future can he easily form
ed. If we take the opinion of the
Hon. So-and-so, based, as he says it is,
on information received from CHS
State" constantly, we shall have to
believe that Mr.. Tilden cannot be
nominated. Perhaps the reverend
ing repetition of this statement affects
US all here, for very few Washing
tonians now look upon Mr.. Tilden as
the coming man. Four years ago,
long before the convention met, the
old democrats of the city had their
houses newly furnished to receive
him, and all went over to New York
to make his acquaintance. find
many democrats who look upon
Hancock's chances as decidedly good,
and many who would be glad to gee
Seymour nominated. There has of
late been little talk, outside of Con-
gressional circles, of any Western
candidate"

IT is true, George Washington new
er told lie, but then he hadn't the
strongly organized opposition to his
candidature for the Presidency that
troubles his successors. In these do
generate and ununanimous days the
candidate has to lie like pirate to
straighten up his record, and then he
has to lie like smoke to keep 1t
straight.
