It don't make any difference now who
the Democrats nominate.
The burning question now is whether
the Democrats can put a ticket In nomi-
nation at Chicago in next July without
robbIng the grave.
1t is still believed that Tilden will be
nominated at the national convention of
body-snatchers which meets at Chicago
on the 9th of July.

President Arthur received handsome
endorsement at the hands of the Repub-
