dent. the question now is as to how those
s nomIustIons will aiYcc. the prospects OF tue
Democratic aspirants to the same offices.
o. course IS Il impossible 70 forecast the &c.
zion Of the Cincinnati Convention; ana
whatever f. said on the subject under ex-
istinr circumstances win be OF the nature OF
speculation. Nevertheless, there may De
some shrewd guesses made as 10 ,ne eneo,
which the nomination OF Mir. GARFIELD w"
have upon the fate Of the gentlemen WHOSE
nsmcs have become prominent IN conncc-
,,on with the Cincinnati Convention.
Mr. THURMAN being an Ohio man. bis
rare naturally arises first ia the mind. III
che Democratic National Convention shaii
consider him stronger man In MS own
state than Mr.. GARFIELD, the nomination OF
the latter by The Chicago Convention VIII
increase rather than diminish the former ;
chances for the nomination OF the Cincih-
nail Convention. 1t Is always deemeo "e'
sirable to secsre the vote OF large ''".e
such AZ is Ohio, and II MIR. ThuRNaNs
friends could satisfy the Convention OF MS
ability 70 carry Ohio over Mr.. GARFIELD
his claims would be well weighed we are
inclined to think that it is not certain 'hs'
THURMAN Is stronger than GARFIELD IN
Ohio, This Is a matter, however, ior MI
TsuRuAy's friends TO attend to. III they
fail TO satisfy the Convention upon 'his
point, their favorite will be out OF the race
notwithstanding the facts that the Deho-
Gratis of the whole country ana OF tne ooo'"
,.rtjcu,arly owe more TO Mr.. THURMAN
than 10 any other man, and that he has
made the Democratic party OF the cous'iy
respected everywhere by the fidelity ana
ability with which for twelve years ne mas
cbampioned its cause in the United states
Senate. The Washington Post says the
men to nominate are SEYMOUR and THUR
NAN: or. in other words, New York and
Ohio Us. Ohio and New York. This wou'd
be strong ticket; but would not test Mr.
TBURMAN's strength in Ohio so well as run
ming for President would.
How ms to Mr.. SEYMOUR? We'll, GRANT
boom would have called for SEYMOUR
boom; but as General GRANT was not noml-
mated, one reason for Mr.. SEYMoURs nomi-
nation has ceased to exist. Nevertheless, as
IL Is PLATA that Mr.. ARTHUR was nominated
at Chicago for the purpose oil securing the
tbirty.iye votes OF New York, Mr. SEY-
MouR may have TO be nominated to prevent
that result. II Mr.. THURMAN is to be laid
aside because Mr.. GARFIELD can certainly
carry Ohio, then it will become absolutely
indispensable for the Democrats to noml'
nate somebody who can get the vote OF New
York. The Democrats are bound to have
either the vote OF New York or that OF ONO
II they are to elect the next President. The
South NAV be and probably will be solid
as against GARFIELD; but the South
casts only I3S votes. The Democratic
candidate must get AZ votes from the
North in order to insure his success. or
these Is can be obtained in Indiana. He
will still need 80. Where else than in New
York can they be had? California casts only
6 votes; Oregon only 8; Colorado only y;
Nevada onIy 3. So the combined vote OF all
the Pacific States'is the beggarly number OF
fifteen. Seventeen are still wanting. Where
can they be had? Even II New Jersey and
Connecticut should vote the Democratic
ticket, our Dominee would still be behind.
Those two States cast but Is votes. In all
the North there is not another State which
the Democrats have any sort OF prospect OF
carrying. Massachusetts, we have heard
named; but Massachusetts, gave HAYES
40, 423 majority overTnDEN only four years
ago. and no Democratic National Conyen-
ton Is goiag to base its hopes for the sue
cess OF the Democratic party upon the pros
pect OF carrying Massachusetts,. SO with
out the vote Of New York the Democratic
candidate would have no reason to hope Tor
success. California. Colorado. Oregon, Ne
yada, Connecticut, and New Jersey, all
combined, would not supply the place OF
New York. In word, the vote OF New
York cannot be dispensed with. BE sure,
then, Mr.. SEYM0UR's is-still foremost name
amongst those in the minds Of the delegates
TO the Democratic National Convention.
Mr.. BAYAkD's prospects are neither i'm
proved nor impaired by the nomination OF
MI, GARFIELS. He-stands nov as he stood
before. His fate is in the hands OF the New
York delegation to Cincinnati, I'VE suppose.
II they say he can carry New York, the
man who shah get none votes In the Con-
ventlon than he, willbedhe nominee OF the
Democratic National Convention.
Mr.. TILDEN We still regard as having no
chance whatever 80 be nominated. He may
read his fate in thst Of General GRANT at
Chicago. The two-thirds rule is barrier
oyes which he csnust leap into the presi-
dentssl arena. But shove all Is the con-
sidesation that II nonainated he could not
carry New York next fall. Let it be con-
ceded that it is absolStely impossible to
elect the Democratic nominee without the
vote OF Kew York, and Mr.. THDgN is at
once dismissed to Gramercy Park. All
this will rot prevent BIN from getting
large vote In the Cincinnati Convention If
bis rame is presented in that body. BE has
q wonderful hold upon many people, espe--
cially In the North.
When il Is stated that the combined vote
of all the Pacific States Is but 10, Judge
FIELD Is seen TO have but slim chance of
being a prominent candidate before the
Cincinnati Convention. Fifteen votes are
in this case no better than none. Thirty
two must be bad IN addition TO the l3S from
the South and the Is from Indiana. New
Jersey and Connecticut cannot supply
them. They must come from New York.
But we have no idea that Judge FIELD
could carry all the Pacific States il nomi-
