THE DIVISION AMONG NEW YORK DEMOCRATS
AGAINST TILDEN.
Oxford (Miss.) Eagle: $50 long, however,
az the New York d mocracT are divided into
two factions, it will be impossible for any
citizen Of that State TO get the nomination..
II they could have patriotism enough TO re-
concile their differences and sgree 10 work
together harmoniousiy, they would have very
bue trouble IN securing the nomination for
one Of their own citizens, but divided az they
now seem 10 be, ii will be impossible for any
one OF them to get it. Without the vote Of
New York the Democracy cannot hope 10
succeed In the great contest OF 1854, and with
IL thet cannot lAll, duu ucUCS inc ueCet SHY
OF nominating a man who will be acceptable
to all ihe factions Of that Stale. As the
matter now stsnds TiIden liz bitterly opposed
ny one faction, and unless he can reconcile
that opposition ne can hardly hope to re-
ceiye he nomination, and unless he does tn at
the nomination would be tanlamount to d
defeat at be polls"
HENDRICKS THREW AWAY THE DEMOCRATIC
CHANCES IN 1880.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazetts (Rep.): at
is not important whether Mr.. Hendricks
knew bis talk was TO be made public The
fact that is of interest Is that Mr.. Hendricks
has rallied himself again TO be a candidate
for the Preside ncy. Eight years ago he felt
so strong that in his own jddgmeat he con-
descended to the verge of humiliation in con-
senting TO take the second place on the ticket
At that time his statesm snship consisted in
fanajlcai opposition TO the resumption of
specie payments. He purposely contrasted
himself with Mr.. Tiiden in this, and does
not appear TO advantage. Mr.. Tiden knew
tue rag baby was fraud, but Mr.. Hendricks
Ci ssped il to. his bosom. Events have dis.
played the folly OF the distinguished gentle
man from Iudisos on this subject. He
thought himself the superior of Tllden, but
demonstrated the fact of his absurd inferi-
oritY in affairs. 1t was thought by friends
OF Hendricks that Tiiden could not, if elected,
live through his administra alton, but he
shows up to day stronger than ever, while
there are 70 many assurances that He naricks
is robust az to excite suspicion that he il far
iron we'll. Hendricks was more violent than
Tiidea about the fraud Of the failure OF
the shotgun throughout the solid South, vet
he did not mount his war horse or the CD air
Of the presiding officer of the Senate. Bu.
the weakness Of Mr.. Hendricks was most
conspicuous In 1885, when he ostenl atiously
refused 10 take the second place, and 90 for
the 'old ticket He and his snorting friends
thought the stu alton Of Indiana could be
made 10 force him upon the ticket in the
siirst place. This was miscsIculAtion aad
resulted IN not only the total defeat of Hen
dricks, but the prevention OF the nomination
of Mcdonald, and the wonderful nomination
of English. Too sum of the story is that
Hendricks threw away the Democratic
chances in 1880, through his vanity in declin-
ing the second place, aud bis spite in knitting
Mcdonald. And now he is ready as laei
resort 10 50 before the country in a second AIRY
Presidential capacity 10 make up tee old
ticket. The top blossom GU this sunh pRer
