The editor of the C0uricr-JOurnal
is worried because the Democrats of
the United States will not accept his
word as law, in regard TO Mr.. 1'ildcn's
candidacy. Mr.. WattersOn should
bear in mind that great men some
times change their minds. If we are
not mistaken, Mr.. Watterson himself
came out in card a few days before
the Frankfort convention positively
declining to be delegate to the Ma
tional Convention and yet Mr.. Wat
terSon changed his mind and when
the convention met was anxious to
be delegate.
The people want Mr.. Tilden just
about as bad as they wanted Mr..
Watterson and they believe that, as a
precedent has been established by the
great journalist, he may be induced
to change his mild and accept.
