BAYARD AND CLEVELAND STILL
WE'LL IN THE LEAD.

Tilden's Withdrawal is IrrevOcabIe-
Independent Republicans Only Await
/ ing the Democratic Choice.
I WASHINGTON, June 13.-The following
are the latest Congressional Democratic
interviews published:
Senator Beck--I am OF the opinion that
/ Cleveland or Bayard is the coming man.
| II New York goes to Chicago united
/ ana can satisfy the delegates that there
I are no factions IN the party, no sores
4 TO be healed, no trades to be cOnsum-
/ mated and promises that the party is
\ a unit for Cleveland he will be nominated
/ sure, think. BUTTON the other hand the New
/ ork delegation 90 to Chicago divided, then
/ d Is my deliberate judgment that Bayard is
| the man. know that some people viii say that
I ne was rebel sympathizer during the war
1haI VIII Dot IN my opinion hurt him. He
I would be sure of the l53 electoral votes from
Ine Southland ne would be just as sure of New
/ lork as any man IN the country. That would
I give him with the South lS9 votes New
I Jersey with her nine votes would in nv
/ opinion be sure TO 90 for him. That would be
| l9s votes. Now we only want three more
votes.
THE REQUISITE NUMBER.
There is Connecticut. with her six votes,
! that l think, with Bayard or Cleveland
either, would go Democratic. That would
give us 204 votes, three more than is neces-
/ sary. Then there is Nevada, with her three
| votes, that Is reasonably sure to 90 Demo-
! cratic, that would elect without Connecticut.
/ She has Democratic Senator and Represen-
tatlNe now IN Congress. and know that there
are men IN Nevada that will help US. Indi-
| ana / consider almost as surely Democratic
as any state IN the Union. Either one Of the
men | have named can be- elected easl-
y as against Blaine. | tell YOU
/ there cannot be a storm in the port of
New York without its being felt all
/ widespread dissatisfaction in New York,
connecticut, New Jersey and the New Eng
land states against Blaine. The opposition Is
% the men he has around him. Take Steve
Elklns for instance. He is the worst in the
| deck. He Will buy anything or anybody he
can. Then look at Powell Clayton. But. good
lore, why enumerate them. The decent men
IN ms own party know them. and it is them
that the honest, sober thinking men of all
parties fear. Looking the whole field over. /
am inclined to think that il is the duty Of the
convention TO nominate Cleveland or Bayard.
BAYARD SURE OF THE SOUTH.
am sure that Bayard. as / said at the
start can carry every Southern State for a
| certainty. No man in the South, not even
Gen. Malone or Gen. LOngstreet. could OBJ
Ject TO him because he was friendly to them
during the war. and don't think the people
up North, especially in New York, New Jer-
sey and Connecticut. twenty years after the
| war, are going to bother themselves much
aoout how a man sympathized during the
war.
How would Mcdonald and slocum do,
SenatOr?"
Il would have favored that ticket if the
kepublcans had nominated a Western man.
but by nominating an Eastern man our fight
IS transferred from the West to the East
therefore am constrained to think that it is
our Dounden duty TO get man from the East
/ 10 run against Blaine. ] repeat that the feel
| ing against Blaine in the East is very bitter
among his own party followers. 1 learned
more of this when was up at Gen. Dufy's
dinner the other day than ! had ever sup
| posed. Yet we want to be careful and put
forward good man and a strong platform.
| These are my views"
VOORHEES, FOR A WESTERN MAN.
Senator Voorhees, thinks that the Demo-
cratic party should nominate a candi-
the party has been going East
for its candidate for twenty-five years. only
to meet deieat-Once through fraud, but final
defeat nevertheless. Mr.. Voorhees, declares
| that the nomination of ex-senator MELON
aid would make the electoral vote Of Indiana
sale Tor the Democrats. "McDOnaId can carry
Indiana by 10000 majority said Mr. voor-
hees, land he can carry New York. The
leading Democrats of New York admit that
Mcdonald can carry the State" Senator
| voorhees, said that he had no patience with
| the statement sometimes made that the
| Catholics would not support Mcdonald.
did any Catholic ever say so?" he asked
with some warmth. "NO. sir. No Catholic
ever said so. The Catholics or Indiana are
among McDOnald's warmest friends and sup
pOrters. They know his private life and
know that it is spotless. l know that too.
say that know that his private life has been
spOtless. Mr.. Voorhees, said that Mcdonald
and Cleveland would make the strongest
ticket.
BAYARD CAN'T CARRY INDIANA.
He was confident that Bayard could not
carry Indiana against Blaine Bayard's
financial views, he said, would make HIM
! weak in Indiana and throughout the West.
I he idea that the Catholics would object to
Mcdonald proceeds from the fact that he
married divorced woman.
uhofsR, Al.
York will present Mr.. Cleveland. | think
that should be done. If a delegation in his
favor shall go to Chicago and present his
name with frmness and energy he will 1
think, be nominated. AS to the platform the
party should stand by the declarations of 1876
and 1850. Any one who observes the express
sions of dissatisfied Republicans Will notice
that a reform in the revenue is the mcst i'm
pOrtant of their objects. 1t is the only issue
upon which we can look for accessions from
the Republican party. a doubtful and evasive
declaration upon that subject would, IN my
opinion, be fatal"
MR., CLEMENTS VIEWS.
Mr.. Clements. Of Georgia, said that he
thought it looked as if Cleveland would
be nominated. 'You cannot tell how the
sentiment of the country is as yet, though.
We can get pretty good idea Of what the
members of Congress and people here think
but we cannot tell much about the feeling
outside until the choosing of delegates to Chi
cagc is well under way. IL you scratch an
Mcdonald adherent. The Indi-
ana men are Just wild for
Mcdonald. They want him, and they want
him badly. As a general rule they are for
Cleveland as a second choice; but even if they
cannot have Mcdonald they do not give up
the hope of being represented on the ticket
They would then like to see Cleveland and
Mcdonald. Some of them DO not even despair
Of representation in case Mcdonald is not on
the ticket at all. They talk of Holman IN that
contingency for the second place."
Eustace Gibson. of West virginia. in answer
to query as to the. outlook in West Virginia
for the Democrats at the coming election,
said: Il have no fears of the result, and the
Demo ratio party have none. We will carry
the State easily"
suppose MIR. Blaine would stump your
State, what effect would it haves"
in my opinion il Wopld not change
vote"
HAS he not large railroad interests in your
State?n
BLAINE'S POSSESSIONS IN VIRGINIA.
Ale says not a dollars worth. He and
Henry G.. Davis together have a large body
of coal land. That is ALL"
"How about the fusion talked of between
the Republicans and Greenbackers?"
ut won't amount to anything in nv opin-
ion. believe the Republicans would poll
larger vote single handed than they would by
the fusion movement"
"Now that Mr.. Tilden is out of the contest,
who do you think West Virginia will support
for the Democratic nomination at Chicago?"
Il am inclined to think that Gov. Cleveland
viii be her choice -elther he or Mcdonald"
"IIow about Bayard?"
'Bayard is a good man: no better could be
found, but our people don't like his financial
views. TAat is the only objection to him. Yet
he can carry West Virginia by the usual ma
jority-s,0o0 to c,000.''
Mr.. CosgrOve, of Missouri. said: 81 am of
The opinion that Gov. Cleveland, OF New
YORK, is our man. He is as strong in New
FORK. New Jersey and Connecticut as Mr..
Tilden would have been. He is not as strong
in the West ! admit, but Indiana is the only
Western State we need make any calculation
on, therefore 1 regard Mr.. Cleveland as our
best and sUrest leader in the coming fight.
yet think any good Democrat with a clean
record can wins
''sHppOse New York is not solid for hims"
"hen some man outside the State Of New
vo,l- ILL be nominated sure. 1t may be
ReTard ap,' It may be Mcdonald"
SEVERAL. WINNING TICKETS.
Mr.. Geddes, of Ohio, said that he had so
made up his mind to the on, tlcSet that II was
hard for him. at such short notlcs. 70 settle
upon any other. He does not think ,"at the
party's chances of success viii be impaired bs
Mr.. Tilden's declination. In answer TO the
question; Gould ticket be n0mina-
replied: "Yes: Thurman and Slocum
could carry the State. Several other tickets
would be strong. HOadly or Payne could
carry the State. Cleveland and Carlisle
probably could. Carlisles name would
strengthen any ticket in Ohio. Being asked,
would not the tariff question hurt the
Speaker there's" he replied, '.No; he is sound
and conservative
