they say, "to nominate Bsyard." Beck
says that the distinguished Delawsrean
will have the vote OF Kentucky and the
bulk Of the other southern vote to start
with. Mr.. Hewitt thinks that Mr..
Baysrd ia the best man, but that there is
danger that the majority may not have
sagacity enough to nominate him. He
says that he has carefully examined Mr..
Baysrd's position since 1851, and he finds
that in every essential particular on
public questions and party issues his
views have been identical with those Of
Mr.. Tilden and his party that he was
