A LITTLE HASTY.

The News and Courier, which is usually
conservative'andd discreet, has no toleras
ton for the Tilden boom, and is not
disposed to believe he really has any
boom for the Presidency this year. 1t
says:
"The Atlanta Consultation again de.
clares that there are but two things that
can prevent Mr.. Tilden's nomination and
election to the Presidency of the United
States in 1854. One of these is mis- abb
solute refusal to accept the nomination
made over his own name in formal
letter to some formal body. The othes
is-death.' He will not be nominated,
and he would not be elected if he were
nominated. What respect can the sturdy
yeomanry of the country have Tor
political party that nominates for Presi-
dent tottering paralytic, whose only
chance to recognition is the fact that ne
lost the Presidency-by his own weak
ness and cowardice as much as by Re-
publican rascality! The men who talk
up for him know that he will not be the
Democratic candidate. It is all device
to bring forward, later on, some other
person as Mr.. Tilden's choice and for
whom the Tilden vote shall be cast"
We agree with the Constitution.
Nothing but death or positive refusal
on his part to accept the nomination
will prevent the overwhelming nomina'
ton of Mr.. Tilden at Chicago, and
more than that when nominated he
will be overwhelmingly elected in No
vember. There Is genuine enthusiasm
for him all over the country. Pennsyl'
vania, West Virginia, Iowa and Ken
lucky, the only States except Massa-
chusetts in which the Democratic party
has acted, are for him. Massachusetts ii
for Butler. The Tilden States represent
every phase of Democracy except But
lerism, and shows that there is genuine
demand all over the country that justice,
though tardy, shall be done to Mr.. Til
den. We do not agree with the NeOs
and Courier that Mr.. Tilden Is in any
wise to blame for the result of the Elec-
| toral Commission. His position was a
digni6ed and proper one. He could not
| with propriety have. acted differently,
and the people now realize that fact.
We believe that Mr.. Tilden would poll a
| larger vote than any man the Democrats
can nominate.

While new probabilities are being dis
cussed in the political world, the spectre
f"the man on horseback" has again
arisen in the Republican camp. From
a very remote possibility two weeks ago
the nomination of Gen. Grant for his
much talked of and long coveted third
term has recently become present and
potential probability which is dreaded
by many of the political observers OF
passing events. Over fifty of the BOG
who so resolutely stood by Gen. Grant in
1880 at Chicago, have been reelected
delegates to the coming Convention, and
while they. start out for other candidates
IL is believed that their real purpose will
be to produce dead lock which they
will try to break by denomination Of
Gen. Grant. It:is hoped by his friends
that they can thus accomplish now what
they failed to achieve in 1880. We do
not apprehenld that Grant can be renom'
mated, and if renominated ne do not
believe he can be elected, bat there is no
doubt that chis friends are scheming
earnestly to accomplish this result.

The oceans were free tt

can commerce. The oceans were free to
all, but where was America in this free
for all? The skill of the sailor of every
nation was there asserting itself except
ours; fortunes were being built up for
people of all nations except ours, and
vet this wis an ocean. bound Republic.
Every ripple of the waters on the sea-
shore was an invitation to enjoy the
wealth of foreign nations, and every
stormy wave that beat upon the crags
spoke in thhndering denunciaion of a
policy tina, would lock America out Of
the markets of the world. He explained
the effect of protection upon the farmer.
Protection had already robbed America
of ofone-haIfthe markets of the Old World,
and England was developing a wheat
market in India, direct result of the
American protective policy. He argued
that the effect of the system was not
beneficial to manufacturing interests.
"Let your tariff disappear, he cried,
| "and then, oh, manufacturers, your
attention will be devoted from the home
markets to the generous rivalries of
foreign trade, in which wealth will
come to you of which you do not dream
to-day"

The Abbeville Press and Banner is

The Abbeyille Press and Banner is
heartily opposed to the land loan corpo-
rations. and warns the farmers of Able
Vile not to put themselves under any
obligations to these companies. 1t says
sIf the farmer is compelled to raise
money, let him sell portion OF his land
at half its value rather than leopard the
whole. A majority of our farmers have
great quantities of land that yields no
return, and any farmer who pays interest
on any Improbable land must finally be
ruined" In this we think the Press & Ban
ne,. is on the right line. 1t is not to the
interest of our people to negotiate loans
on land for long terms with foreign capi-
tslists. Even if these loans should be
paid it will take large sums of money
out of the country, aud in many In
stances these loans will terminate in
foreclosures, by which these foreign
companies will become extensive owners
of real estate through our country. Our
people, where they have to borrow mon
ey, had better negotiate the loans from
their neighbors.

Frank NARROW, of Cleveland, O., is
twenty.four years of age. He is four
feet tall and weighs about 100 pounds.
Frank has the unIucky faculty of break
ing his bones on the slightest provoca'
ton. He celebrated his debut by break
ing his arm and a rib or two before he
was old enough to run around. AT his
tenth year he had succeeded in having
both arms broken number of times,
with collar bone, breast bone, shoulder
blade and head, making in all thirteen
fractures and breaks sustained. The
broken bones always united without any
trouble. Since his tenth year NARROW
has had 10th thigh bones broken six
times. Physicians assert that the brittle.
ness of his bones is caused by constitu-
tional ailment which has dried up the
marrow in his bones, leaving them hol-
low and brittle as pipe stems. lie is
constantly growing shorter.

The New York Times sayss

From trustworthy source it is ascer.
tanned that SOME prominent New York
Democrats have been endeavoring to get
Senator Bayard to go to New York and
have a consultation with leading business
men who are Democrats, with the object
of bringing him forward as the candidate
Of New York in the Chicago Convention.
Mr.. Bayard has evinced an unreadiness
to meet these gentlemen, not from any
unwillingness to become candidate, but
from an aversion to appear as if he were
anxious to press his own claims for recog-
milton by his party. 1t is understood
that q consultation will be held on Sat
urday night in New York, when the
propriety of urging Mr.. Bayard as a
candidate will be considered. The Dem
ocrats in New York who favor Mr.. Bay
ard do not regard the fact that he comes
from small State as one that would
stand in his way. They believe that
should New York present him as a man
who wo1.f. insure the confidence of the
business community there would be no
reflection upon Delaware's size. The
plan of the Democrats who favor
Bayard's nomination for President is to
nominate Morrison for Vice.President,
and thus secure an Eastern and Western
representation.
The first part of this programme would
do. .6rst-rate, but nothing could be made
ont of putting Mr.. Morrison on for the
Vice. Presidency. Governor Hoadley
would be much more promising nomi-
zee for the Vice-Presidency.

A Washington correspondent of the
Meos and Courier, speaking of the prob
able nominee of the Democrats for Pres.
ident this year, says:
Bayard and Cleveland stand about au
even chance in the opinion of those sup
posed to be posted for the Democratic
nomination, with O, leaning possibly
towards the latter on account of his pur-
ported ability to carry New York. 1t is
conceded that, as in the last election,
New York is to be the real battle ground,
and candidate of either party must be
one who can carry this point. Among
Southern Democratic leaders with whom
I have conversed there is disinclination
to have Southern man named for the
second place on the ticket. They say
tha. the South can be relied upon to
support any ticket nominated by its
Northern allies, and point to the unanim-
ity with which Hancock, Union Gen
eral, was supported in the last campaign
as proof that sectional lines have been
obliterated in a desire for the triumph of
party principles. There is no necessity
for putting Southern man on the ticket
to ensure success and the cause might be
jeopardized by such action, thereby cost
ing votes at the North which may be
needed. All that is asked by the South
is that ticket may be nominated which
has the element of victory about it and
no fears need be entertained about the
South not doing its duty. These senti-
ments are expressed by leading men at
the Capitol, both in the Senate and
House wings, and with either Bayard or
Cleveland they think they can win the
great battle of 1884 for the Presidency of
the United States.
Next TO Tilden we believe Bayard
would be the strongest candidate the
Democrats could nominate. His record
is clean, his reputation is pure and spot
less, and his ability is everywhere &C.
knowledged. We would rather see him
elected President than any man the Dem
ocrats can put up. He would make a
grand President-grand in the motives
which would actuate him, and grand in
the ability he would possess to act upon
those motives. He has no entangling
alliances, and would not be President of
a faction or the slave of political masters
he would in reality as well as in name
be the President of the United States.
We believe, however, that Mr.. Tilden
stands oetter chance for the nomination,
and that he will be more easily elected.
The enthusiasm for him at this time
would be irresistible in a canvass, and
there is no doubt he would make as good
President as the country has ever had,
as long rs his health will permit him to
discharge the duties Of the Office.
Therefore, we think at this time party
policy dictates the nomination of the
cold Ticket" The other candidate
named by the correspondent, Governor
Cleveland, would also make a strong
nominee and an excellent President
He would be acceptable to the Whole
country and we believe he could be
elected. The drift of public sentiment
has entirely left the visionary theorists

who would throw away the Democratis
States Of the North with the hope of
carrying .sosne of the Republican States
Of the West. 1t is now plain that New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana
and Ohio are again to be the political
battlefield, with sound policy and
available candidates. The INTELLt.
GENcER he's ell along insisted that this
is true party policy, and We believe its
adoption will give us votes enough in the
coming election to secure The Presidency.

EFFORT FOR REDmoNn's PARDON
The Greenville Me.as says:

The Greenville Ne:os says:
Lewis r. Redmond was indicted some
three years ago for violation of internal
revenue laws, and plead guilty. He was
sentenced by the court to ten years
imprisonment in the Albany penitenti-
ary and was Immediately sent there. He
never got out Of the hospital and suffered
intensely. from the wounds received at
the time hesRas arrested. Besides this,
consumption set in and the hard rules of
prison discipline, together with the harsh
climate, seemed too much for his consti-
tuition already weak by luhg suffering
from his wounds, so he was removed to
the South Carolina penitentiary, where
he is now confined. He is, however, in
q very precarious state of health and the
physician of the penitentiary thinks that
continued confinement will soon end his
days.
An earnest effort is therefore being
made to have him pardoned, and it is
hoped that his friends will come 10 the
rescue and assist in this most laudable
enterprise. Tae natural dictates of hu-
manity demand his pardon and it is
earnestly hoped that the Judge and Dis
trict Attorney will join in the effort.
The law has been vindicated, the offender
most grievously punished, and to keep
him in the prison walls when such con-
6nement is surely and rapidly sucking
his life blood, would not be a vindication
of the law but bitter persecution, which
would do no good but infinite harm. 1t
is to be sincerely hoped that the effort to
gain his liberation and allow him to pass
his few remaining days with friends and
family will be successful, and it will
surely meet with the thorough appreciation
of ali good citizens of every class and
party.
The application for Redmond's pardon
has been very largely sigued by all class
es of our citizens. We hope the effort
to secure his pardon will succeed.

A Washington correspondent of the
News and Courier, writing under date Of
May 2, says of the coming Republican
Nominating Convention:
Secretary Lincoln is rapidly coming
into prominence as Presidential pos.
sibility, and the most crafty politicians
are fastening to enroll themselves under
his banner, noteworthy instance being
that of Secretary Chandler, who is out
spoken in favor of bis associate in the
Cabinet. 1t is claimed that although
Blaine has strong following, still it is
not powerful enoug gh to secure his nom
ination, and the same may be said of
Arthur. On the other hand Lincoln is
the choice of all sections for the second
place ON the ticket, and his hackers say
if he is good enough for Vice-President
he must be available timber for the first
position on the ticket. A strong fight
will be made on this ground when the
Convention meets at Chicago, and IT a
dead lock becomes imminent between
Blaine and Arthur, Lincoln's name will
be sprung upon the Convention and his
tIlenQ9 say successfully Aoo
longer any doubt as to the imposslbiilty
of nominating Blaine, for the decree has
been issued that he must be knitted at
all hazards. His boom has shrunk con-
siderably in the past few weeks, and
among. politicians here he is scarcely
considered in the race on account OF his
bad record. Edmunds has not been
benefited by the talk concerning his
interests in certain corporations, and
from present indications Lincoln is the
coming man of the Republican party"
This is the view which the ISTELL1-
GEScER has entertained of Republican
probabilities for some weeks past, Less
than one month more will decide the
question, as the Convention meets on the
3rd of June.

Incorporate Crows,

The following story comes from Wa
terbnry: Charles Fogg Is married man
and lives with his fnther in law near the
city There is also engaged on the place
an ingenious young fellow who does all
kinds OF work. Crows had become very
troublesome aud destructive in the corn
fields, aud this lad had read in some
wise agricultural paper that corn boiled
In alcohol and distributed over the
fields would be freely taken by the
crows, and the birds would become In
toxicated, and could be easily captured.
Not having alcohol. he took cider aud
added d bottle of laudanum, boiling
his corn and distributing IL in the
field. He acted privately, prefer
ring to experiment without telling
the family. Nothing came OF II for sev.
eral days, and the lad himself had nj.
most forgotten 1t; but one morning an
old lady Of the neighborhood came in and
requested the men folks to come up and
see what was the matter in the corn
held. She said millions OF crows were
there, and would not fly away nor bulge
for her, but were acting lawful funny.
Sure enough, when the men and the lad
went out there they found hundreds OF
crows rolling about on the ground, flap
ping their wings. cawing and making
themselves generally ridiculous In
fact they were all as drunk as lords, and
= number of them were easily dis
patched. --Neu London Day.
