WHO WILL THE LEADER BE?
A WORD TO THE TILDENITES.

WHO WILL THE LEADER BE?
WORD TO THE TILDENITEs.
Charleston News and Courier.
The independent republicans are a
power in New York Their adhesion to
the democratic candidate for president
will ensure to the democracy of the So
electoral votes of the empire state. In
Massachusetts, the Independent repub-
licans are strong enough to give the
democracy chance of success in that
state. Everywhere in the Eastern and
Middle States there are republicans who
will treat the nomination of Blaine as
IAN insult to the conscience of the coun-
try" and who will not vote for the Chi
cage candidates.
The independent republicans are solid
in their opposition to Blaine; but they
are. equally solid in their dislike of Mr..
Tilden. Under no circumstances will
many of them vote for Blaine; but at
the best, only few will vote for Tilden,
if he be the candidate of the democracy.
The nomination of Tilden will chill and
repel the Independent republican votes
while such a candidate as Cleveland or
Bayard will be voted for by republicans
in all parts of the Union. The national
democratic party can elect its candidate
to a certainty, if that candidate be not
Mr.. Tilden.
We ask the fuglemen of Mr.. Tilden,
who want victory at any price, whether
it will pay them to risk defeat for his
sake Is the national democratic party
in so sore strait that it has no choice
but to sacrifice the respect Of the cOun-
try, and miss a golden opportunity, for
the benefit of a candidate who declined
to be indicated and renominated four
years ago? Is the democratic party SO
welded to the dead past that it must go
back eight years to Mr. Tilden, in place
of Selling this present time by the fore
lock by nominating Cleveland or Bayard?
Ponder these questions, democrats! The
people want candidates who represent
to-day and are prepared for tomorrow,
not candidate whose claims to notice
are based on the melancholy might
have been"
GEORGIA AND ALABAMA NOT FOR THE GOLD
TICKET"
From the Macon Telegraph and Messenger.
Georgia is neither unanimously, en-
Enthusiastically or any other way in favor
of the old ticket. She has not so in
structed the delegates to her convention,
and there is not the slightest reason for
the idea that she will send delegates to
Chicago instructed for Mr.. Tilden or
anybody else.
The Alabama convention selected an
admirable delegation to Chicago, and
uninstructed Notwithstanding the fact
that it had been heralded that Alabama
was for Tilden, her convention, three
separate and distinct times, refused to
consider resolutions declaring for the
old ticket
CLEVELAND THE BEST POSSIBLE CANDI-
DATE.
From the Boston, Mass, Herald, Ind.
Why anybody should want Tilden, or
why there should be any magic in his
name, we cannot surmise, but, for some
reason or other, he seems to mt the party
perhaps because he trembles and whis-
pers.
AS mask, though not handsome, he
may he useful. If, at the right time, the
screen bearing his unpromising face is
pushed aside and the stalwart and Gu
deptic figure of Cleveland is revealed, the
party will have candidate with a head
at the top of him and his face turned to-
ward the future
Cleveland is the best possible candi-
date for the democrats
