A PORLoRN HOPE.

Judging by the opinions of large por-
ton of the Democratic press of the country
relative to the selection of presidential
candidate, Mr.. Tilden may be said to rep-
resent in his own proper person the for
Torn hope of the Democracy for victory in
the approaching national contest. Not
withdrawing the positive assertion of the
sage of Gramercy Park that he can not
assume the labors of an administration
or Il canvass, the cry is heard from Demo-
cratic newspapers and conventions on
every hand that he must accept the noni-
nation, and the natural inference is that, in
the opinion On these organs of public senti-
ment, Mr.. Tilden is the only man whose
candidacy will afford the Democracy a
reasonable assurance of success. A party
must be in sore strait indeed when it is
compelled to lean for support upon de-
crepit old man who pathetically pleads
his physical infrmity and appeals for the
privilege of spending the declining years
of his old age in peace and retirement.
The New Orleans Times Democrat is one
of the journals frantically declaring that
g Tilden must serve and we are reminded
of the marked inconsistency of the present
position of our esteemed contemporary with
that it assumed i'll the exciting guberna-
torial campaign of last fall. Then the t.
D. protested warmly against what it termed
the indelicacy of the supporters of Con.
-.
Nichols who persisted in advocating his
nomination after he had expressed deter
mination not to accept. The reasons offered
by Gen. Nichols for declining to become a
candidate were very far from being as for
chile and potent as those now urged by Mr..
Tilden. The friends Of the former gentle
man were seeking to bring into the service
of the commonwealth a man in the full
possession of his physical and mental pow
ers-a true and tried patriot who was in
every way capable Of assuming the cares
and duties of public life, and whose I'M
willingness to do SO arose from no lack of
vigor in body or mind. The It'd. and its
colleagues, ON the other hand, are pursuing
and prosecuting feeble yaletudinarian,
with one foot in the grave, who seeks I'M
munity from further public service because
of his advancing years and declining
strength, and who asserts that he has
already given to the welfare of the Demo-
cratic party and the Republic whatever of
health and strength possessed or could bor-
row from the future" If the friends who
wished to make sturdy Gen. Nichols
Governor in spite of himself acted in bad
taste, how shall we characterize the I'M
seemly conduct of those who would impose
a heavier burden upon feeble Gov. Tilden?

A Washington special of the 18th inst

A Washington special of the 18th inst
says:
The secretary of the interior saws that
governor for Dakota will be appointed
at once. He has been examining the rec.
concentrations for the several car ndidates
very carefully, and finds that his own
brother, j. II. Teller, the present secre-
tary, has the strongest local Endorsement.
DOT he cannot recommend him for obvi.
GUS reasons: nor will he advise the ap
pointment of any resident of the terri
tory, because of local antagonism and
factional lines throughout the territory.
The appointee, whoever he is, will be an
outside man, and one OF character,
against whom no objections can be
raised. The secretary has not yet decid.
ed which of the candidates answers that
description.
1t the secretary of the interior feels
averse to recommending his brother for
the position of governor, it would be
eminently proper for him to refer the
matter to the president without recon.
mendation. His brother is strongly en-
dorsed by the people of Dakota and the
republican platform declares that all ter.
ritorial appointees should reside in the
territory to which they are appointed.
The people have expressed desire for
the appointment of Mr.. Teller and it
belongs to him by that same token.

Henry Maxwell was born IN Halifax,

almost every portion of British North
America, then wholly under control Of
the fur trading company that took
its name from Hudson's Bav.
Leaving the service of the company
in 1863, he engaged in bust.

OF commissioners has not been tried and

being conceded that If either board had

tlon OF the county seat will be equally
legal. The whole matter in controversy
is therefore practically settled, and the
county is at last relieved of y long and
vexatious problem.
There Is no occasion for the Letcher
organization to feel excited over this re-
suit. Tor they have all the time felt as
confident of their position as they do
now. The decision is of course CRAFTY.
ing to because it affords justification for
the position they have occupied. But
the county as whole has great cause
for rejoicing. The annoyance of a
double organization had become SO great
that any decision would have been hailed
by the people with joy. It was far more
important that they might know who
were the legal officers, than that this Of
that man should hold a county Office.
The outcome is just what was expected
by large majority Of the people in and
out OF the county and consequently ex.
cites but little if any criticism.
ln congratulating our fellow citizens
In the county upon the termination OF
the matter, We must also congrat tulate
them upon the good spirit in which tie
contest has been conducted. Bad blood
has been avoided and We are therefore
in condition to JOIN hands at once in
the upbuilding of the county and the
promotion of its general interest. The
Blade hopes every citizen of Sanborn

and by mutual effort in the ripht
direction, counteract the evil effects oi
the past struggle.
