The New York Times Monday morning
prints a summary of the answers received
from 3d4 correspondents in different states
10 whom the following inter- o. at ries were
sent in Jane last
|. Who il most frequently spoken of by
Republicans in yonr vicinity as their frat
,'i,nice for Presidential Gaudidats in 1851
z. What other names are III 'ntioned
Who ID most frequently mentioned
hy Democrats in your pei9 hborhood AZ
their frat ohoica for Presidential candi-
date in lSSi2
4 What other names are mentioned, in
about what order, rs indicating their
| popularity
The replies Indicate Blaine AZ the
| oholos Of the Republicans and Tilden of
tine Democrats. Butler, the fourth in the
latter list, is sustained by Massachusetts,
"and that ia about all there ia of him."
| at must be borne in mind, however"
says the 1imes, "that Huadly, with an
sir attached to him, looms mp ready to
smash all states. II he ia elected
governor Of Ohio he may lead all in the
race for the Democratic nomination, hut
for the present he ia conditional candi-
| data"
of the other Democratic candidates II
says that, probably because OF the senti-
ment of Justice" or because OF his HIS
torical "bar1," Samuel J. Tilden leads
his party even more markedly than
Blaine leads in the Republican feeling.
Two titths of the points reporting award
him first choice, and his strength-again
like that of Blaine--would have been in
creased if he had come ont plnmply and
demanded the nomination. 1t ia not
always the "old tick It," however, rs
lletdricks seems to have fallen into dis
iavor in Some quarters
OF Mcdonald "!iA makes q very
strong showing as 6econd choice. Appar
emily he is looked upon SIS the next bes
man to Tilden."
OF Bayard "With most of them (hii
friends) his cannldacy has become
treasured sentiment--a quadrennial sac
ritoe at the altar of friendship"
or the Republican candidates Blaine Il
represented as finding most favor IL
nearly all the great Republican states
"and his strength is probably greste
than is thus indicated, as in many in
stances preference is expressed for other
} in the belief that he will not enter tn
| race. President Arthur ia next il
strength, and his friends are prett,
evenly distributed throughout the conn
try, and the favorable feeling toward hin
ia almost everywhere reported IS inoreas
; lug constantly. In the South the Office
1 holders are noted as Of cours
in his interest. 1t Ia clearl
shown in the letters from th
, south that large part OF or indeed til
I entire vote of that part Of the Countr
will be cast in the national convention fO
4 Chester A. Arthur. There ia no reason
4 able doubt to I've entertained at preseu
( that the BOT votes of the old slave hol d
a ing states will be given to the present il
l cnmbeut of the Presidential chair. MI
3 Blaine and every other candidate mus
face this solid TACT. Third in the contes
| is Mr.. Edmunds, and not much benin
| Mr.. Arthur. His strength is also yer
q evenly distributed In the different states
e and the expression in his favor, perha
1 more than in the other case, appears
be spontaneous and due entirely to b
9 merits. He is stronger, indeed, IS
4 second choice than IS first, aud leads til
: other candidates when that question
n considered"
