The contest for the nCminauO" al
PRES. 1T writing seems to have narrowed
on down to Bayard and Cleveland out
j there are reasons urged by the sSl'liui
j managers Of the party, why neither OF
!. these candidates should be nominated.
!. 4 purity with time-worn printlpes, Wlih
. 10 live. aggressive policy, must IN order
, 10 place itself in position to entertain
the barcst hope of success in great
struggle like the one now pending,
reconcile BY its domination all its bosses
The whims aud wishes Of every state
politician, whether reasonable or not
must be considered, or else this partition
lar class Of political nagnates will grow
sullen, if not revengeful, and either
allow their forces to scatter at will, or
to turn in their anger aud defeat their
partys nominee Such is the dilemma
in which the Democratic party is now
placed.
Kelly, the great Irish politician of
New York is said to coutrol at least sixty
thousand votes, the balance OF political
power in that state, aud how to please
him; who will be most acceptable to
him as candidate for the Presidency, is
more the question Of the moment with
the party, than as to who will most
etfec'uaIly carry out its threadblre
Efforts have been made to
iraw this willy politician out, that his {
favoric may be known, but he refrains j.,
from expressing an opinion Occasion
y we see it stated, that some Lieutenant i,
# his, or lesser Power in the Tammany =
Hall gang, has spoken for him, express r
ng lis appreciation IF the candidacy Of ;
his or that candidate, but no opinion
N the subject comes direct from him. y
He is supposed to be antagonistic to u
'leveland, because of the independence O
fthe latter since his elevation to the
iubernatorial chair, and because Cleve
md vetoed several Of bis pet measurs !,
lssed by the Genera Assembly of his !,
ate during its recent sitting; hence !,
Ie Cleveland boom has begun to wane !
Bayard figures next as the most
ointment candidate Kelly's opinion
his candidacy has also been sought :
I'd the impression prevails that he i
.vorabe to him. This being so, Bavara :" =
now looked upon as leading in the !,
zee. His a-ailab!cncss il other 70 = !,
poets are matters Of minor importance
he fact Of his coming from a small !,
tate, with the smallest vote of any Of tho =
tat"s in the Electoral College is a e,sas. .
ion not to be considered. His famoas !
>over speech that aroused WINS y,
in the North at the tiisf i
/ was delivered, still fresh in the memo. :,
y Of many, will not affect his vote; So %
'ammany IIall and its Boss are pleased a,
Il things are well and, and the party -
u safe road TO success The Demo Il
ratio party does not seem to profit BY !.
yperience. 1t was to the faithlessness D
nd teaching Of Kelly that greatly al
attributed to the defeat Of Hancock in ..
$50, yet it clings to him with about ar
re same tcnacity with which it hugs to
Fad issues; and this year. as in others !,
l>t, it will only learn the lesson of de- n
at. 1t will learn only too late, that
&c power of a grea; man may be great.
At that the power of the people is :
'eater still. and that they viii not be !;
ctated to, or forced into obcying the !
chests of the Boss.
