The Boom for the OldlTicket.

Presidential ticket of 1876. It is well
| known that we were, prominent in adj
| vocating that ticket before the meeting
| of the St. Louis Convention, and that
| we were no less Jealous in urging upon
the Cincinnati Convention of 1880 the
policy of naming the same candidates
| for the suffrages of the people. At that
| time, however, Mr.. Hendricks refused
| to accept the second place, and this
fact, together with Mr.. Tilden's aver
sion to making the race. resulted in the
nomination of Hancock and English.
| There has been a growing conviction
that it was mistake not to have over
ruled the personal wishes of both Til
den and Hendricks, and appealed to
their patriotism to accept the leader
ship of the Democracy. We have never
doubted that such an appeal, backed by
the great mass of the party, would not
| have been in vain. And now, at this
day. we sincerely believe that if the
country were satisfied the state of Mr..
| Iilden's health were such that he could
enter upon the management of the CAM
paign of next year, public sentiment
would at once concentrate upon that
statesman as the ideal standard-bearer
of the Democratic party. Upon this
point all reports agree that. whilst Mr..
L. is. physically not robust, his intel
lectual faculties are as vigorous, tener-
getic and forceful as when he performed,
in most remarkable manner, the duties
of Governor of New York. His great
executive genius is unimpaired. His
utterances show the same Gear, strong,
| cogent, rousing power that has always
| CHARACTERIZED them. He is man Of eN-
tfaddinary mental composure,f and his.
nerve of brain is such that age can not
t Wither - nor bodily feebleness or fatigue
affect. ~.
.. There is no occasion for fatal antago-
nisms between the friends of candidates
in the coming campaign. There is a
long list from which to select Presi-
Dental leader, and with any one of
them we will be satisfied, let the choice
be Tilden, Mcdonald, Morrison, Cleve-
land, Hancock, Mcclellan, Bayard,
Thurman or any other of like qualitica-
tons. The duty of the Democracy is to
survey the field, and when the time
comes do the best for the party. Then,
we doubt not, there will be perfect
harmony and thorough cooperation.
At this distance from the opening of
the canvass it does not seem that
more vitalizing Issue can be presented
than would be embodied in the nomi-
nation of Tilden and Hendricks. We
do not share in any such estimate of
Mr.. Hendricks as that he!would permit
his name to be used for the purpose OF
injuring Senator Mcdonald, or to be in
the way of that gentleman in any polit-
zeal aspiration; and only would Mr..
: Hendricks be acceptable as completing
fiol-,t
there to be general wish for the re-
nomination Of the ticket of 1876 we do
not question that, Senator Mcdonald
would at once and cheerfully advise his
friends to disregard his own interests.

Mr.. Hendricks laughed and answered:
