OF these, Is are mentioned. in various
sections of the 50 States, as the fret choice
of the Republicans. Mr.. Blaine, low
ever, is head and shoulders in front of the
others, being named as the preference at
1903, or nearly one-third of the number of
points where a choice is expressed. Apart
from his own State, he finds most favor in
the Middle and Western States-nearly
all the great Republican States-and his
strength is probably greater than is thus
indicated, as in many instances prefer.
ence is expressed for others in the belief
that he will not enter the race. President
Arthur is next in strength, and his friends
are pretty evenly distributed
throughout the country, and the
favorable feeling toward him is almost
everywhere reported as increasing con.
stantly. In the South the Office-h0lders
are noted as of course in his interest. II
is clearly shown in the letters from the
South that a large part of or indeed the
entire vote of that part of the country
will be cast in the National Convention
Tor Chester A. Arthur. There is no rea-
sonable doubt to be entertained at present
that the BOG votes of the old slaveholding
States will be given to the present incum.
bent of the Presidential chair. Mr.
Blaine and every other candidate must
face this solid fact. Third in the contest
is Mr. Edmunds, and not much behind
Mr.. Arthur. His strength also is very
evenly distributed in the different States,
and the expression in his favor, perhaps
more than in any other case, appears to
be spontaneous and due entirely to his
merits. He is stronger indeed, as a Sec
ond choice than as first, and leads the
other candidates when that question is
considered. These three gentlemen
receive the voice of 22419 of the 324
places which express a preference

three, General Grant, John Sherman and
General Logan, coming between him and
spoken of, ard his ability and hOnored
name make him regarded as a good man
for the office. The possibility of his selec-
ton is rarely left out of the discussions.
The following of all the gentlemen, after
the three leaders, is small, and in some
cases merely the expression of compli-
mentary wishes for ''favorite sons"
The number of aspirants for the Demo-
cratic nomination is forty, and their
names are as follows:
Bayard, Thomas F., of Delaware.
Black, Jere S., of Pennsylvania,
Brown, Joseph E., of Georgia.
Butler, Benjamin F., of Massachusetts.
Carlisle, John G., of Kentucky.
Cleveland, Grover, of New York.
Cox, Samuel s., of New York.
Dana, Charles A., of New York.
Davis, David, of Illinois.
Eaton, William W., of Connecticut.
English, William H., of Indiana.
Field, Stephen j., of California.
Flower, Roswell p, of New York.
Hancock, Winfield s., of New York.
Harrison, Carter H., of Illinois.
Hendricks, Thomas A, of Indiana.
Hewitt, Abram S., of New York.
Hoadly, George, of Ohio.
Holman, William S., of Indiana.
Jewett, Hugh j., of New York.
Helly, John, of New York.
Mcclellan, George B., of New York.

Randolph, Theodore F., ofNew Jersey.

Trumbull, Lyman. of Illinois.
Turnkey. John, of Pennsylvania,
Villas. William F., of Wisconsin.
voorhees,, Daniel W., of Indiana,
Wallace William A.. of Pennsylvania,
Witbeck, William F., of Indiana,
Eighteen of these stand forth as claim
ants of first choice. Perhaps it is be-
cause of the sentiment of ''justice" so
often heard from Democratic lips; per-
haps it is because of the historical ''bar'P'
whatever is the cause, however, Samuel
j. 1ilden leads his party even more mark
eddy than Blaine leads in the Republican
feeling. Two-ffths of the points report
ing award him first choice, and his
strength-again like that of Blaine
would have been increased ifhe had come
out plumply and demanded the nOmina-
ton. 1t is not always the ''old
ticket" however, as Hendricks
seems to have fallen into disfavor
in some quarters. There are only seven
States which give Tilden no favor, and
there appears little doubt at present that
ne can be the nominee if he desires. Nc
Donald comes next to Tilden-72% points
to the latter's 100. Geographically, the
Eastern, Middle, and extreme Western
States alone disfavor him, and in these he
is displaced mainly by Butler,
Bayard, and Thurman. He makes
q very strong showing as second
choice. Apparently, he is looked upon as
the next best man to Tilden. Bayard
has a meagre following-31K points-and
hopeless one, Judging from
the talk of his admirers. With most of
them his candidacy has become treas
ured sentiments quadrennial sacrifice
at the altar of friendship. The aggress-
i've Butler comes next, Massachusetts
sustains him, and that is about all
there is OF him. The sentiments of
the Democracy in regard to him
exhibit every feeling, from the ut
most contempt, through respectful
fear and mild establishment, to alleged
genuine admiration. Thurman has a
very modest support, and the field follows.
1t must be borne in mind, however, in
setting up Democratic standard-bearers,
that Hoadly, of Ohio, with an ''if" at
tached to him, looms up ready to smash
all states. If he is elected Governor of
OHIO, he may lead all in the race for the
Democratic nomination, but for the pres

late.
