for Banner, started down from that

of course the snow skimmers dragged

The Cincinnati Enquirer has made
an extensive canvass through its CORES
pondents of eleven Southern States to
get at the prevailing sentiment of the
people of both parties regarding Presi-
dental candidates, and finds that on the
Democratic side there is an overwhelming
sentiment everywhere in favor of the
nomination of Mr.. Tilden, Mcdonald, of
Indiana, ranking next az a popular favor
ite. Payne, of Ohio, has many friends,
Randall strong following in some of
the States, and Bayard would be an ac-
ceptable candidate to many. "The Flower
BOOM" says the E"quirer, is young in
the South, but the New York Congress-
man is discussed among the possibilities.
OF Republican candidates the Emguirer
says: "Blaine is decidedly the preference
Of the people. A Blaine and Lincoln
ticket would he strong one. Logan
has a following in several States and there
is apparently an effort to inaugurate a
Logan boom. President Arthnr's friends

The " Old Ticket"

Mr.. J. r. Randall, Washington cores
pendent of the Augusta Chronicle, in a
recent letter, says: at is charged that
the Democrats of the Union, having been
frightened out of their wits by the tariff
hobgoblin, have concluded to exercise
that ghost by putting up another in the
person of Mr.. Tilden. | answer that per-
haps the so-called shade of Tilden may
strike more terror to the common enemy
than could the substance of ten thousand
second-class candidates. The old gentle
man is, like his party, a live corpse. He
is not too old or too feeble to conduct
victorious campaign; besides, it may be
remembered that one Of the most re-
doubted victories in Spanish history was
won when the dead body of the Cid was
lashed to horse AMI put in the front
rank of battle. The feeble but still vital
Tilden may perform similar miracle for
the Democratic party, which seems to be
abandoning all other leaders to concen
trate upon the man who has probably sur
vlved in order to be magni6cently but
tardilv indicated"

MIR. Peck, whose bl boy has grown into
national nuisance, can perhaps obtain hint that
will enable him to freshen the stories of his pet
scapegrace from the doings of half a dozen lads
in New York, varying in age from to 10 years,
who for year past, have system ltically robbed
grocers and others and sold their plumber for
money with which to buy beer. The lads COM
municatcd with one another by Il system of sig.
nails and many were the wild carouslls they had
enlivened by the beer bought with their ill-got-
ten wealth. Their criminal practices were the
direct result of reading sensational juvenile
books, aud it is entirely possible that the inter-
minable bad hoy series may have formed part of
their library. If So it is only right that youths,
