MCDONALD AND DoRsHE1MER.
That Is the Ticket Talked of in New York
TiIden Only Combined Dives and Laza.


Tilden Only a Combined Dives and Laza-
Gath in Cincinnati Enquirer.
New York State, according to the private
talk of ex-Lieutenant-governor William
Dorsheimer, will probably cast her vote for
Mr. Mcdonald, of Indiana. Mr.. Dorsheimer
says he is personally for Mcdonald, and be-
lieves, from his acquaintance and observa-
ton, that New York will be a Mcdonald
State on the first ballot. l believe Mr. Nc
Donald has been written to from New York
to the same effect.
The newspapers here will never give any
voluable information of this kind. Among
some, the "suppressio veri" is a regular
Jesuitical plan. If they see Mcdonald
forging ahead, they will publish two
or three turgid, muddy columns
at once, to show that Tilden is to lie
revived, and, to further obscure the infor-
nation will affirm next day that Conkling
is going to assist Tilden to be revived. Know
ing next to nothing about national politics,
having never lived in its centers among the
public men, and being without the political
instincts, these Jesuits no sooner discover
popular movement started without their sug-
gestion thar they strive TO suppress it by
steadily ignoring it.
Strong as Mcdonald is known to be, you
see no description of him in New York jour-
nails He was an item that arsSe without
their creation or connivance. He never was
editorial rooms, to be introduced
to the gifted Virgins, or higgins or
Squiggins, who temporarily holds
the helm till the old man off in London or
Naples finds him too important and bounces
him. A raging desire to overlook the West
and its real men exists here-nOt in New
York mercantile society, but in the true pro-
vincial society of this place, which consists
OF imported Europeans and OF native rustics,
immensely swollen with their metropolitan
label. | can get more real information in a
twenty minutes walk down town about
national life and movements than / read in
some of those papers in year One of them
is engaged in galvanizug Randall because he
probably drops in sometimes: another is gal
vanizing Pendleton. Mcdonald, being real
quantity, they either overlook from stupidity
or ignore from Jesuitry.
Dorsheimer being townsman and friend
of Grover Cleveland, probably sees the fulfil
ity of supporting him for President, and so
goes over to the Western star. If New York
State and the Northwest and part OF the
South sustain Mcdonald, as is now believed,
he will be easily nominated. New York has
no candidate. Tilden is a mere combination
of Dives and Lazarus, risen from the grave
and remanded from hbraham's bosom, and
it is the dogs under the table, mindful of the
old crumbs and the old sores, who chiefly are
talking up his fortunes. Governor Cleve-
land is sensible, mediocre man, who
and impostership to be happy or
successful in the presidency, and wants his
little Buffalo and peace of mind Meantime,
as shall show you directly the Republic
ans are getting ready to reorganize the party,
leaving out of it both Arthur and Con<ling,
and expect to give the Democracy another
great shake-up. The stalwarts, mad with
Arthur are coming into the half-breed camp,
and Cornell is to be one of the new general
issimos.
Those Democrats in New York who would
rather secure the presidency than divide and
lose again between New York factions are 60
ing for a Western mark and Mcdonald is re-
garded as having reached such momentum
in the West as to present the most available
quantity to go to. Perhaps Dorsheimer ex-
poets himself to be the Vice-presidential can
didate and carry the German vote. His
father was popular old German tavern
keeper at Buffalo, always Democrat till the
Democrats concluded to let the Union slide
Mr.. Tilden had such a high idea of Dor
shemer's talents as to-put his case into his
hands at ST. Louis. After the campa gn,
Dorsheimer found Tilden financially dishon-
orable, not settling his agents necessary ex-
penses-a sort of repudiating poker-player.
Dorsheimer is to be in the next Congress.
