The Boston Herald suggests that the republi-
can scratchers would probably agree to support
some one of the following in 1880: President
Hayes, John Sherman. E. B. Washburne, Geo.
F. Edmunds, Gen. Hawley or Ben Harrison, OF
Indiana
The Hancock boom is being revived by the
Brooklyn Eagle, which has heretofore been
strongly in favor OF Tilden.
The Boston Journal warns the Massachusetts,
republicans that the union between the Butler
and the regular wing OF the democracy In that
state means business, and that they must go to
work to keep Massachusetts, In the republican
ranks next November.
The Albany correspondent Of the n. Y. Times
says OF the result at Utica: 1t can be stated
with the utmost emphasis and the utmost truth
that the victory of those who favored Grant Is
not even in remote sense a personal triumph
for Mr.. Conkling. II the Senator had not been
in Utica, If he had found it convenient to be
sick, as he so frequently does upon important
occasions, the convention would nevertheless
have instructed for L. S, Grant"
The Fort Wayne Qnd.) Gazette reports that the
belief is becoming quite general among poltd-
clans in that state that there is an alliance be-
tween Mr.. Tilden and eX-CongreSsman English,
OF Indiana, to ignore Mr.. Hendricks in the dem
ocratic convention, and make ticket with
