5 CLEVELAND, o., March 22-The feeling
among all classes Of Ohio Democrats is that
the talk concerning tho denomination Of
"tne old ticket" means nothing, and is but
the pretext by which certain politicians
cover their real purpose until a more con.
venient ssason. While thers are mum.
ber Of very good Democrats who would be
plprsed to see Mr.. Hendricks on the ticket,
because Of his personal strength and his
inf ,eucc on the result in Indiana, with an
incidental benefit through the alleged
wrong Of 10, there arc very few who think
for Il moment of MIR. Tilden Is "a nominee.
The Payne men have been the most
esrD.B. IN advocating the claims Of Mr.. Til.
den for indication, and in that fact alone
can be read the lack Ct seriousness in the
"old ticket" talk. They declare that II
Mr.. Tilden is t. be O candidate, Mr.. Payne
will not allow the use OF his name, but
will give his personal influence, his time,
voice, and money in aid OF the Sage OF
Gtamercy Palk.}y Having thus made thoir
offerings to n shadow, they hope to rfst in
the protection OF that shadow v hen The
midday heat Of tns ,con,eat is'fully At hand.
Tho Payne programme is to%iall into the
Iilden hei1ahir;. and through tho Tilden
lintscf communication and management,
TO reach the utleYmcst ends OF ,h- land.
In 1880 Payne stood in the same relation

A SERIOUS state Of ullalrs exists at Point

OF Point Pleasant are well.sdyised they
will not oppose with forcsthe United States
Marshal, who represents the power OF the
Government OF the United States.
The Marshal is acting under the orders
Of the Court, which orders he must and
will endeavor 10 enforce. The Marahal
may be resisted for the moment, but the
power which is behind him will in the end
prevail No community can gain anything
by such resistance as is foreshadowed in
our dispatch. 1t will be infinitely better,
and certainly more creditable, to fight it out
in the cour,s. W
In the meantime the Marshal can only
try to do his DUTY. With bis four deputies

US hope that reason will come TO the rescue
and prevent trouble.

the uncertainty as to its sresult. The friends
Of the measure siucs the canvass OF the

are that they will be willing to make these

THERE is a good deal OF kicking against
the action OF the Democratic State Commit
tee. The complaint in general Is that it
hRstakeu snap judgement on the party.
A writer il. the Clarksburg Ne,rs, a
straight.out Democratic paper, puts the
complaint in iorcible language. He declares
that "the action Of the State Committee de.
server Interpretation OF every Democrat
who does not want the party given over to
the "machine'.' Though the Democratic
National Convention meets month later
than the Republican National Convention,
the Democratic State Convention 10 select
delegates is to be held two weeks earlier
than the Republican State Convention.
The ClarksAurg News writer wants to
know "why this uuseemly haste"-"three
months in advance Of the time?" 1t is
further complained that the time and place
are iuconvenient, that there can not be q
large attendance, and that tho Convention
will held "beIorc any party opinion as
to candidates or policy, has made itseli
elt" But these considerations are OF little
moment il the emachine can make Itself felt.
Then there is to be the novel proceeding
-"enlirely unprecedented having n
new State Committee selected by this con.
vention, instead Of leaving that important
work to the later convention which will be
largely attended. The Democratic writer
Aforesaid says that all this wes done by a
bare majority, aided by proxy interested
In the machine" and for The benefit Of II.
B. Payne. Wonder who the proxy was.
All which "ain't none Of our funeral
but it belongs 10 the events Of the day, and

cratic party in West Virginia is being

MipDLrTowS, Conn, March eo.-The
Daily Herald, Of this city, publishes to.nisht
a number Of letters, from leading Republi
cana all over the State, giving the senti.
ments Of the different localities In regard
to q choice Of presidential candidate.
From their testimony 1t looks as though
Connecticut, for the frat time In many
years, would send a delegation to the
National Convention that would be united
upon one man. Their candidate will be-
General Joseph R. Hawley. Usually each
oi the twelve candidates from this
State hes candidate OF his own,
and tho consequence 4! has been
that whatever influence the State
might otherwise have had has been wa,ted
and lost sight OF In the multiplicity OF can

lished there is a marked feeling In favor Of
General Hawley us the candidate, and It Is
the general opinion among politicians that

be about evenly divided between Presi.
