The State OF yesterday afternoon pub
fishes a communication which places Cen
eral MALONE in worse position than he
has ever before occupied. 1t charges him
with having nominated his HANCOCK ticket
of 1880 in the interest OF the Republican
party--that Is, after an understanding with
the Republicans that he could vote his
choose, but anyhow the GARFIELD ticket
would profit. w. Il. CAMERON and II. II.
Notwithstanding one since chosen Gov
ernor, and the other since chosen United
States senator-headed the bogus HANCOCK
ticket. The charge is made upon the au-
thority of Mr.. COOPER, chairman Of the
Republican State Committee-the same
gentleman who recently had private in
teryiew with Governor CAMERON. and TO
whom the Governor promised thousand
dollars and the services OF himself and
General MALONE on the stump to assist in
carving Pennsylvania next fall for the Re-
publlcans.

that President Hayes desired 10 break the

He then states that "the next and mos,

General Simon Cameron, ex-senator from
Pennsylvania. He started on brief

and enjoyment, but really TO meet General
Malone. his leading Readjuster friends,
and the leading Republicans. Conferences
were held, and the union Of the two forces
was made to embrace national objects.

thereafter General Malone consulted with

views of Congressman Calkins.
Chicago Interview.


1.-THE surprising result in New York on last
Tuesday means that the Democrats must
nominate Tilden. 1t showed that New York
is doubtful State at the best, and that only
very hard work, backed by the sinews of war,
can carry it for either party. What Moses
can the Democracy then turn to to lead them
out of the wilderness unless it be Tilden? He
is admittedly the strongest man they have in
New York; he has carried it twice before by
good majorities, and he has barrel. What
other man can fill like conditions. The cleo
ton of 1884 clearly hinges on the vote of New
York and both parties must make their nomi-
nations in reference to that fact
II do not wish to be understood as saying
that Tilden could carry New York State
against us. What do mean is that he would
make the issue doubtful, whereas against any
other Democrat it would be a foregone con-
cluson. The indications now point to Ches-
ter A. Arthur as the Republican nominee
We also must nominate with Il view to cap
turing New York. and under such circum-
stances, with his conservative and popular
administration, which seems to have effectu-
ally healed fractional quarrels in lis own
State, he would seem to be the likely man.
1t would be strange if these two men, so diff
ferent in every respect, should be pitted
against each other in this the final struggle
OF the two great parties for the ascendency,
and yet it looks as if such will be the case"

The Ballad Of OLD Ben.

Old Ben is dead, thar good old man,
We ne'er shall see him more;
He wore a vest of human skin
All tattOoed down before.
He loved his kind; the !abOring men
Found him IA steadfast friend;
He worked at tanning paupers hides
Aud tanned them to the end
He shed great tears Ger human woes
And lighteued human loads;
And when he rode two naGs at once
The lags went different roads.
The bottom dog was his delight,
His aim, the peace to keep;
He never told the truth hut once,
Aud that was in his sleep.
He always stood up for the rlgho
And plead for honest votes;
He gave his servants only shuckS
And fed his horse on oats.
In modesty and common sense Il
He weighed tull many ton;
Upon the stump his hobby was
Vl-tu per-a shi-on.
In principles original
He never needed "quOtes;"
He spent his years, till siXty-tive,
Exploding powder boats.
But now he's gone; no nauseOus pill
Awaited his life to save:
And sixteen times ten thousand men
Are sitting on his grave,

Positive Declaration that President Arthur
Will Be Candidate.

Will Be Candidate.
Washington Special.
A member of the administration said to-
day; Chester A. Arthur is a candidate for
presidential nomination. l know it, and
do not know that there is any necessity for
keeping quiet about it any longer, and
think that before long the party will have
no doubt that he is a candidate. The result
of the election in New York has, perhaps.
made it proper that the candidacy should
be avowed. I think that General Arthu is
the man to carry New York, and that from
present appearances he will convince the
party leaders that he is the man."
This statement, coming from person as to
whose knowledge upon the subject there can
be scarce doubt, is, perhaps, the first posi-
tive declaration by any one near the Presi-
dent that General Arthur is a presidential
candidate. 1t is very certain that he had not
determined to be a candidate four months
ago. 1t is quite certain that he is a candi-
date now. 1t is very possible that within
the next few weeks events will happen
which will make it apparent that General
Arthur is to become what the politicians
perhaps would call an aggressive candidate.
