To THE EDGToR OF THE BosToN PosT
While the Democratic party can claim the
honor OF having in its ranks several mon pre-
eminently lifted for the Presidency, men who
III their respective states and IN the national
council have long borne the highest honors,
and have attracted to themselves the conf.
denco and respect of tho people, yet there IL
one who stands to-day before the country no

state OF Delaware alone, though cyOr true TO
tho interests OF that little State, which has

has never weariod OF shOwering honors on

He would certainly carry the great state Of
New York more readily than any other candi-

Governor Cleveland, who most deAeryedly
has won the respect OF tho citizens OF his own
state and OF tho whole country by his high
and independent course, yet IL must bo ro.

Tho people demand to day the best, the
very best, man for the Presidency. They ARE

WAsHlNGToN, Jane 2l.-Senator Bayard
has been urged by his friends to take
some steps to oountersot the feeling that
has been worked mp against him on &C.
oount of his old spesohes, but he steadily
refuses to take one step to please the poll
ticians. This resolution upon his part
has aggravated his itiends, who think
Bayard might strengthen his chances IL
he would only come out and do sOmsthiDg
to help himself. Bayard says ho can aud
will do nothing. 1t is now agreed that he
will be pretty strongly pushed by the
revenue reJormers who are bound t. have
a strong tAritf-for revenue plank in the
platform, II possible. A revenue ref1rmer
who is delegate to the Chicago oonven-
tion gave the IPoridoorrespondent to night
the following plank upon the suhj7ot of
the tariff people, which will be presented
and pushed for consideration by the
Bsysrd people at Chicago:
1.-THE revenues OF the government OF
the United States shOuld be limited to
the sum required for the payment Of the
public debt, the common defense, and the
general welfare of the United Ststes" "
The revenues, he said should be raised
by fair and equal taxation, and whether
that be- laid upon commodities Of our own
production or taritfed upon imports, it
should always be adjusted to comfort
with the decision OF the Supreme Court
of the Uuited States, which declares
Goth Wallace, page 664) that there can
bs no lawful tax which is not laid for a
public purpose.
