PRESIDENTIAL TALK.

Tflden the first Choice of Che Democrats of the New England States. Blaine and Bandall Strong in Pennsylvania—Preference* of Illinois Democrats. •HID. The Shermans, John and Toon meek. [Washington Telegram.] “Hack,” of the Eandusky Register, who Is here, says that if it is deemed expedient to present the name of John Sherman at Chicago he will secure pretty noarly all tbe delegates from Ohio, although the Blaine sentiment among the voters is very strong. Some who have been attempting to organize a movement in favor of the noininatlou of Gen. Lherman for the Presidency are disturbed by tbe rumor that he voted for Hancock at 6t. Louis, and are endeavoring to a*-, certain the truth of this. PENNSYLVANIA. Blaine and Randall Prime Favorites with the Quaker*. [Philadelphia Dispatch.] Blaine and Randall had the call In the oounty conventions Just held In this State. In Wyoming a resolution was adopted by the Republicans instructing the delegates to use all honorable means to further the nomination of Blaine. In Columbia tho same action was taken, and in (enter a similar feeling prevailed. On the Democratic side Tllden's old friend, William L. Scott, was elected a Senatorial Delegate, and will go asa National Delegate to Chioago, together with some men who have here ofore favorod Wallaoe, but who are now instructed for Randall first, last, and all the time. Scott, In a strong speech, wai nod the Democracy of a scheme on the part of Wallnoe to defraud the people of the State of their choice, Samuel J. Randall. NEW ENGLAND DEMOCRATS. They Want Tilden and a Revenue Tariff. [Boston Dlspatoh.j The Boston Pont prints sevoral columns of letters from Democratic members of the Legislatures of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Conncotiout, in which the writers give their preferences for a Presidential oand date. TJden leads la each Sta'e save Massachusetts where be and Butler are about even. The Greenback members of tbe Maine Legislature favor T.ldon at first choice. On tho tariff question the majority are lor tariff for revenue on’y, and the overwhelming ma’ority favor the Morrison bill and a gradual reduction of tariff taxation. Of the members who declare unequivocally for a continuance of the present tariff two are New Hampshire men, throe Connecticut, and one Massachusetts. Two New Hampshire manufacturers favor an immediate reduction, and one favors the tariff as at present. ILLINOIS. The State Polled by Counties. [From the Chioago Inter Ocean.] Not long ago a Chioago gentleman had oocaslon to write to every County Clerk In Illinois upon a matter of business. After writing perhaps half a dozen letters it oocurrod to him that ho would ask wbat tbe political outlook was, and thus, without hardly any trouble, get an idea of ’be situation, The Inter Uctan has been favored with the privilege cf perusing the answers, and would be glad to publish them, only to many of tbe wrilers ask that their letie’S may to regarded as confidential that we are not allowed to do so. An idea of their oon tents, however, in tho aggregate can be given without the violation of confidence. Neither party seems to bo affTcted with any latent elements cf dtsoord. Not a single letter expresses any fear of trouble on the temperar oo quest on, or any other side Issue. I.O'al and pcisonal quanels are referred to, if at all, as not likely to etand in tho way of success. In regard -to candidates the Democrats seem to be of ono wind. Not a single oounty is reported to be in favor of any other than the old ticket, with Harrison for Govornor, except thnt St. (lair favors Morrison If he has any dhow. It is the old tlokot first, last, and all the time. Let or after letter speaks In tho most positive way as regards Democratic preference. One would say that Harristn would be ffbmlnated by aoclamation and a delegation solid for tbe old ticket sent to Chicago without the slightest doubt. No suoh unanimity Is expressed in regard to Republican nominees. As for Governor, a good word Is spoken for both Oglesby and Hamilton, no Republican betraying the slightest 111-feeling toward either. As for President, the names moat favorably mentioned are Logan, Arthur, Blaine, Edmunds, and Lincoln, the latter very frequently for Vioe President. grant! In Favor of John A. Logan. [Washington Telegram.] Senator Gullom has had an Interview with Gen. Grant here, and says Grant la tbe most unqualified manner expressed himself In favor of the nomination of Qen. Logan.
