TIE Hon. Edwards Pierrepont, of New
York who was q member of Grants cabinet,
gives 1t as his political opinion that Arthur
will he the Republican nominee for presi-
dent next year. ''If," ne says, "Arthur can
command tha support of the main portion
of the New York delegation in tho National
convention next year, without fierce oppo-
stiop, he will probably be nominated.
The next election so absolutely hinges up
on Nsw York that if the Re publican party
become satisfied that Arthur oan carry the
state Of New York his
nomination will be certain"
For the sans reason, Mr.. Pierrepont ar
CUES, tha Democrats will nominate Mr..
Tilden, if they have confidence he can
carry New York. Mr.. Tildsn, he says, be
regards fer many reasons as the most dan
gerous man fer the Republicans to cope
with, whon the Democrats can nominate.
he pats il was bssause the business classes
thought it dangerous to the prosperity of
the eeEntry to put the Democrats int
power, net knowing what policy they
meant to pursue.
The elap-trap and hue-and-cry used by
the Republicans in 1880, he is frank enough
to say, would have no effect against Tilden,
as all the banking, financial and business
interests of the country know they would
be safe with the sage of Greystone.
Mr.. Pierrepont has just returned from
lengthy western journey, and says he
found the Republicans were all favorable to
Arthur and the Democrats to Tilden.
Without doubt this gentleman fairly re-
fleets the state of the Republican mind.
Having once gained the presidency by pal
pasie fraud and again comprised its pos
session by corrupt purchase, the effect has
5esn to destroy all the public men of the
party capable of commanding any ap-
proach to public esteem and confidence.
For candidate for the great Office of pres
idsnt they are obliged to make use Of man
who at his best, is but a ward politician,
5 nam whose chief accomplishment is his
c. pability to 'play push-pin with the rot
and rubbish of low, tricky politics. and
even his "availibility" is a question of dis
eussion among the men who fear they
mast use him.
No wonder that Republicans stand in
fear O. d statesman like Samuel J. Tilden.
II is I'd meaningless compliment to his
wsrsa 20 have 1t declared by political op-
PsxsAi thai warfare against him by the
use of the nstAods that elected the Rspub-
hcaz ticket in 1889, will not avail. Mr..
Pisrre1ont bliidsd wiser than he knew in
the declaration that the business interests
of the country would be safe with Mr.. Til
den and that tho business men of the coan-
try knew ID. There IL no man in the Re
puslioaa party, not one, whom the bust
ness men of the nation would prefer to
Mr.. T1ldsn for president. Everyday
brings stronger conviction that the Old
Ticket is the ticket for 1884. Around 1t
to rebuke and atone for the fraud of 1876
Around it tie business men would rally
because they would rejoice to see Execu-
tive power in safe hands. The majority of
the citizens of the United States do not
wish to see the Republican party continued
IN power any longer. They are in earnest
in desiring change,and after such men as
Grant and Hayes and Arthur would rejoice
to see a statesman, and all that that i'm
plies, in the White House. No
higher compliment can be paid
to any citizen of the Republic than to say
of him, he is a safe man for the country
and for the interests of all the people,
and dangerous mau for the corrupt and
staggering Republican party. The Repub
lican party must go. So m ote it be.
