WEDKESajLY. NOVEMBER 19. Hayes says Indiana is a Republican State.

Times, -i From these apnw it is perfectly obvious that all that is necessary is for the Democrats ! to unite in Kew York to make the State overwhelmingly Democratic. Sibcolatwin has begun in earnest. 'New. York is in a whirl of excitement. The Stock Exchange has gone crazy. Ia one day transaotions'ia stocks Teach 624,00ft shares. Everything 'is going'up, and, in ie time, every thieg wL be coming down; and, when the balloonXersts, several dead men will bo foand In "Wall street and other places.

'We understand that a car load OI old clothes is about to be shistrved to the Tensas refugees to keep them frost freezing -this winter. Mr. Langsdale, cf the GreeoeasUe Banner, ought to have a -few suite. Terc-State of Louisiana estimates the crop of staple products for the year 1579 as follows: Two bend red thousand hogsheads of -sugar; 300,063 barrels of -molasses; "60j30 bales of cotton, and 75,000 barrels of rioe. These figcres look very mach like prosperity, and pretty clearly show that the Southern people are mindicg their own business. Toe Republicans of New -York voted and lied and . cheated to elec Cornell and the zest of their ticket for spoils, present and prospective. Cornell has at his disposal about 50 offices, with salaries aggregating aboct $250,000. Tie stealings under.ilspublican rule will averege about $10 for every $1 .allowed by law, which made the prize worth fighting for. Fhoohaitds of fields a'.l over Indiana are waiting for thene negroes to oorae aod -vick'e them -with a hoe In oeder that they may-Liugh with a harvest. Gieaecastle Banner. Well, there are a good many negroes in Indiana, and if tbey have ever "tickled" any fields and made them "laugh with a harvest," perhaps this "Rsd-hof'-Lingsdale can name them. The white farmers of Indiana are not ready to Aland aside to give the Southern pauper negroes a chance to "tickle" the "fields" while they starve. Hastes thinks that the general character of the people of Indiana is like that of the people of Ohio. But there is this difference: A man might rake Indiana over a thousand times with a fine tooth comb and he could not find a man tike Hayes, so devoid of honor, se infamous and depraved from soul to sole, as to accept the office of president from the bands of the most execrable villains that ever escaped hanging, nor a man like John Ekerman, who would opeaJy offer Federal omeee for perjury.' abk presidential advertising - boom, pro ceeds apace. Grant went to church in Chi cago on Sunday, and this is what happened; "After the sermon. Dr. Thomas announced that General Grant had consented to illustrate the fellowship of man with man; that after the benediction the audience would be seated; that the general would then go back to the vestibule, and there shake hands with each one as he or she went out. This was concurred in, and nearly an hour was con sumed after the sermon in this salutory exercise." Hates is positive. He will not be a can didate for a second term. "We should think not. John Sherman would not again take the risks of playing parjary broker. The Louisiana liars could not again be made useful. The scamps of the Florida and Louisiana returning boards would not again be protected while manufacturing figures and frauds to help him into power. Under euchcircumstances.H'ayes, for a second term. is out of the question. He has rewarded all the scamps whose crimes helped him into office, has earned eternal infamy and is use ful only to fill a hole in the ground. ' g Ir negroes are doing so badly In Kansas and are not wanted there, whv Is it that the gov ernor of that Slate publishes a card over bis own signature telling all who wish to do so to come on and they will find homes? Greencasue .Banner. The governor of Kansas is issuing no such cards. The pesple ot Kansas, the authori ties of the State, the negro relief societies of the State are telling the negroes not to come to Kansas; that for them there is neither home nor work. They tell the people of the country that the negro tide should be turned away from Kansas. But, if this can not be done, then all the people of the "Nation" most contribute for their support to keep them from dying like unclaimed and homeless dogs. A vest interesting trial has been brought to a close in Kew York, in which the Roman Catbolio church was brought into direct conflict with the State. It seems that in 1873 one Dennis Coppers purchased a lot In Cutholicusemstery, paid for it, and obaiwd a receipt for the money. - His mother, wife and children were buried in that lot. In bis wOll Coppers expressed a desire to be buried there also, and that the rites of the Protestant Kiscopal church and of the Ma sonic fraternity should be performed over hi body. To aU this the Catholic church authorities objected, and the case went to the courts. In the opinion of the Judge, the church may exclude Masons from being buried in Its cerneteri?, but in that case It

most have parted with no rights by conveyance or contract, such as. Coppers held) tnd that if such conveyance is made the Knrch can not interfere. ,Ttie court orders Coppers to be buried in b.s 'own lot, and thus ends the caee. In incurs trustees ! Catholic cemeteries in Kw York will Efcely be more careful in tfee'r conveyances of cemetery lots. : i

Pobtmat3 Hoixowav, day or two ago, in Chicago, unconsciously let daylight throne'A ttie Grant movement He said at Chief o to some one: The Grant movement beats anything t have ever seen in polticc; everybody is lor him." That is the wltole of it "the Grant movement r -poti-It begins anu-euds "ijn politics." Mr. TfnllnwAV vm anltflnllTlnmnHMl fntn 4-hA Th, nterTiew concluded es . ,, "How does it tctne, colonel, that all yon Bcyes postmasters are cheering for tirant?" ""I was going oe. to say," he re piled that this Crant boom bcaRs. them all, bat tie will not be candidate for president. I dotet "very innch 'whether his Name will be presented In our convention. I think he wont yermlt It him self." "Where wlH Hayes beT" - "He will beta good dark horse 'tveome in on the second or third ballot, when the light gets hot between Blaine and Sherman. I should not be surprised to see Hayes nominated and elected, but Grant won't be." The colonel's answer to 'the question why all the postmasters are cheering for Grant?" is not at all satisfactory. GRANT AS A MEHMOAKT. It hss sometimes been -said that "Itepublics are ungrateful," but the assertion, though it has passed ieto 'history, will not bear investigation. Theigratitude of Repub lics is not less generous than that of snenarchiet; in fact, it is more -generous, for it is more widely distributed. 'If the clrcem stance calling for gratitude be a military victory Republics do oct, -as a general thing, bestow it upon the individual who happens to be in command. The fact is recoenkc;d that the commanding general did not -shed all the blood, kill all the opposing-forces nor run all the risks f life and limb, and. therefore, is not entitled to ail the gratitude. Hence, Republics are Inclined to reward the common soldier with -a portion of their gratitude. This is not the rule with -mon archies where the -common soldier is ot scarcely more importance than dumb ani mals, and, whether dead or alive, receives precious little attention, and as for gratitude none at alL In thee lee of 6 sneral Grant, how ever, the Republic of thetUnited States has departed from all accredited traditions of Republics. It has done little else but to.kestow upon him rewards in testimony of its gratitude. He was rapidly promoted from colonel to major general, and then to a still higher office, with pay -end perquisites that would have enabled him to live in princely style during the remainder of his life. But this was not enough. The gratitude of the American people, prompting them to make no note-o! the schemes of partisans, found expression at tke ballot box, and General Grant was twice made president of the Republic for which be received the sum of $300,000, and with ether sums drawn from the treasury for services, Ganeral Grant has probably received not lesi that a half million of dollars. AH of this does not appear like ingratitude. On the contrary, it shows a larger amount of grati tude than was ever before lavished upon an American citizen. Great now dates to be poor, and the Republican organs are set ting up a howl about the ingratitude of the United States ai com pared with that of the British Government While some of the Republican papers are trying to work up a Grant presidential boom, others are pegging away to put money into Grant's pocket, and the general if, in a quiet way, helping on the financial boom as best he can. That Grant is seeking to m&se the impression that he is now flat broke is verly clearly set forth in an int view at Omaha, where he expressed a wil.iit jness to take the position of a railroad conductor. The following Is a portion of the reported interview: Editor Excuse me, general, for putting a leading question concerning your future home. What foundation is there for the report that you Intend locating west of the Missouri river? General Grant There la not mach foandatlon for such report. I am as yet undecided whereto locate. It I should conclude to go west ot the Mlssoari 1 would either locate at Denver or Ban Francisco. Although I am really without a home, I shall make Galena my home for the present. I shall have to go to work at some occupation next summer, and in all probability I shall then locate at Chicago. Editor So yon have no Idea of making your future home In this section of the coun try T General Grant As I said before, my prefer ence wonld be either Danver or San Francisco. I should prefer a position as mining engineer or railroad conductor. Just now Grant is entertaining all sorts of propositions for employment, from president of a nail factory to president of the United States; from the position of president of the Isthmus Canal company to a railroad conductor. From such statements, the conclusion is inevitable that Grant is out of spondalicks and ready to take almost any job that offers, at small wages. As a matter of course, this is all low demagoguery, but it answers for a text upon which Republican ' sheets may preach for Grant's pecuniary benefit. The Chicago Tribune is foremost in the business. It thinks Grant is not well fixed for the remainder of his life. True, we paid him while he was In the army, provided a life office for him when the war was over, then paid him for being president, but this ' is not enough. The "Nation" must keep on paying, j uat to show that as a "'Nation," we take care of our presidents when out of office; play guardian over them; make annual appropriations for their support; give them fast horses, well trained hounds, elegant mansions and send them on pleasure trips around the world. To make a man president the Tribune thinks is an "empty honor;" a "glittering reward,'; with no money in it Grant wants the snbstantials money, houses, lands and all because he was a general in the army. It Congress would create the office ot field marshal at $30,000 a year, appoint Grant and then retire him on half pay, the general might get along without feeling the pangs of thirst or hunger, but In the opinion of the Tribune the United States

should do for Grant what .the British Gov

ernment did for Wellington; for Grant Is, in its estimation, a bigger man than the iron duke, because he made the United btatea nation with a big "N. " England gave, Wellington $4,115,000 in cash, $70,000 a year in pensions, and raised him to the summit ot the peerage, while Grant has oaly reeeivet about $500,000 and the "empty, glit tering reward of the presidency." Something ought to be done to geff Grant out of politic! He is as wiuei a disturb ing element as was ever the negro. If the Government has got to take care of feim feed and clothe and shelter him let the fact be enderstood, so that the committee of ways and means can provide for it. The country is getting tired i this Grant -obliga tion business; and Grant, "if he has Lalf the sense'he is credited with, ought to ctop his nonsense about findingeaaployment, getting work, etc. It disgusts all sensible people. It is a bid, In the wrong direction, lor sym pathy, and its purpose is well understood. . THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT. . Throughout the entire North where elec tions have been held during the current year, the Republican party has relied almoet -entirely for success 'upon the poiicy of incul cating hatred toward the South, and ot fab ricating the most monstrous falsehoods touching all matters relating to the social, political and indvetrial offsirs of the Southern people. The Albany Argus well says that "the kindly emotions incident to a civilized society every where, and which the people of the Soath hare as well developed as those of the Xortb, are ignored as appli cable to them. 'Republican papers and public speakers, to advance their own par tisan success, falsely, if not maliciously. because itmoranUy. charge cruelty and in justice toward the colored race upon whole communities. Hate toward a people whom they know not is continually Inculcated for partisan purposes. 'False tales are menu factored and published and then relied on as authority, aad repeated by the press an by speakers vntil they are believed to be true, or at leaet 'they act upon the theory that as long as they do not know them to be false they may repeat them to promote their party purposes and win votes." . . That falsehood and alandar has enabled the Republican party to gam votes, we are quite as willing to admit, as that, in 1876, fraud and perjury made It possible to inaug urate Hayes, but, ultimately, victories gained by such means will, by virtue of the immutable laws of truth and justice, bring about a reaction which, In the sweep tf its influence, will atone,-in sonn measure at least, for the ineffable curses ot Republican rule. The New York Journal of Commerce, in discussing the violent virulence of Republican harangues against the Sauth, its peo ple, its interests, its industries and its insti tutions, is of the opinion that Republican partisan hate is more ito be deplored than the ravages of the yellow fever, for while the one destroys life, the other sows the seeds of distrust, alieniation, future quarrels and serious possibilities, "and even now,' says the journal of Commerce, "toe Republican policy of bate, falsehood and slander 'undermines the confidsnce of business men In the permanence ot paace and order which were supposed to have been assured by the settlement of all the sectional issues 14 years ago. The return of good times is but a return' of confidence, which is a 'plant of slow growth' and more easily blighted and killed than any that ever grew in garden or field. It ia not so hardy at present tough and vigorous as some think it to be that we can afford to dls pense with one ray of the sunshine which alone can bring it to maturity. For general business prosperity, which will not merely come but stay, the indispensable favoring condition is that ot national peace and harmony. The friendship and good will of every section ot the land for every other section is needed to give us blessings in full measure, and every word and every ac which embitters and alienates the North from the Sauth or ths East from the West is a direct blow at the reviving fortunes of commerce, trade and manufactures." We do not regard it is possible, certainly not probable, that the psople of the North will permit Republican partisan demagogues to transform them into unappeasable, bloodthirsty haters of the Southern people. Their better nature is certain to triumph, their sober second thought will dethrone passion, exile hate and, yielding to all the better impulses ot human nature, the Northern people will seek to aid their Southern fellow-citizsns, rather than to enspsrate their feelings and embarrass their prosperity. ' Tub wheat crop of the United States for 1879 has been variously estimated 100,000,000 is probably a reasonable approximation of the yield. If we estimate the home needs at six bushels per capita we have about 125,' 000,000 surplus for export It is fair to estimate that about 50,000,000 bushels have already gone forward, and now the export begins to lag, although Europe as yet Is not half supplied. Prices have advanced to a point when Europe must purchase sparingly, and the falling oil" in the demand shows that prices must react or the outflow of wheat and. flour will be suspended . entirely "This." says the Boston P.ist, "is due to nothing but the huh prices jat which grain has been held, which naturally checksspeculative shipments and causes a falling. off in foreign orders, both British and con tinental. The question arises, how long wheat can be prudently held on this side of the Atlantic without hazarding the profits bleness of the foreign market When European buyers find that our stiff prices forbid purchases, they will inevitably look around to see how they can supply the deficiency to conLdmers. At any rate, they hold off in the hops of a yielding in prices on this side. Foreign consumption having been thus checked by our our own act, we may rely on it that economy and denial will come in more and more to take the place of whettt that . cheaper substitutes for it will be found, and that wheat growing will be stimulated everywhere abroad. It was bnt a little while ago that British farmers were seriously discussing the propriety of abandoning the production of wheat to .she United States almost entirely; but with high prices for what we have to sell, they begia to see the profit of wheat growing as well as we do, and now

say no nan about changing the staple of

thair tillege. Then there is India, which has been railroaded as well as canalled for the relief ot famines in several of her populous districts, and which is better prepared than evfc to raise wheat for Great Britain aed ship it by way of the Suez canal." But there is a still more important conoiderition. The speculative advance in wheat is bearing with special severity upon home interests. Just at the dawning of what Is said to be a revival ot bKsioees, and before idle people have all been set to work, and before wagee have advanced so as to enable working people to Kve comfortably, the pnee ot food has advanced just at the most unfavorable teason, depriving them of the beaelite of the bovntlful harvests. Under such circumstances it is to be hoped that these who hav manipulated prices for their own selfish ends, may be caught and finan cially ruined; for the men who seek to make food unnecessarily dear are the enemies of society. ' - Laksbai.e, the editor ot the "red-hot Re publican newspaper ' at Greencastle, has a mission. It is to people Indiana with the pauper negroes of the Sjutu. These blacxs prefer the S uth, where they were born and have lived, but being ignorant they are easily deluded; and being poor and thrift less tbey readily fall in with the accounts told them by hired aganti, white and black, who are doubtless paid for the nefarious work of enticing them away a species of kidnaping but little, if any, better than the old system of stealing them from their native jungles. These poor, ignorant negroes, trusting to these venal kid napers, political fanatics, start North, to Cad upon their arrival that they are net wanted; that they have been cruelly imposed upon, and that. among strangers, in an inhospitable climate. they are left to beg, to starve, to Ireecs, and to die. In the case of the Kansas negroes, as we have before said, the great purpoee of the white and black scoundrels who enticed the negro from the South, was to disturb the plaatiog Industrie? of that section, It was a policy of hate, unrelieved by a single generous or humane rao tive. -Iu bringing the negroes to Indiana the purpose to embarrass the laboreystem of the Sjuth is as prominent as ever, supplemented by the partisan purpose of utilizing them as voters to aid the Eepub lican party. In neither case is the welfare of the negro or the white'man consulted. The negro is - to be operated as a Republi can voting -machine, and to give him pol tion "red hot" fanatics, like Langsdale, are quite willing to displace the white laborers ot the State and subject them to privations, thereby making the problem of life more difficult of solution. The Democratic party of 1 odiana does not propose to resist the coming of negroes to Indiana, but it does propose to expose- the Infamous schemes of 'red hot" Republicans in forcing upon the State, against the interests ot the people, a set of pauper negroes for the simple purpose of voting the Republican ticket Upon that squire issue the Democratic party is ready for the contest. The Lemars (Iowa) lunatio is constantly getting ahead of the imbecile Journal in whooping up the nation with a big "N, The Journal is flat, fl itulent and stale, while the Lemars fellow is breezy. Just look at this from the low maniac: Why does the Nation hunt down the bar barians of Uteland, and leave the barbarians of Mississippi to the bent of their savage na tures t The savages of the West are amenable to the Nation, but the savages of the South bid the Nation defiance. ATJte savage Is less barb irons, less cruel. less brutal than a Mississippi savage; yet the Ute Is hunted to the death by armed forees of the Nation, while the Mississippi botcher hides behind his ramparts of State lines aod Stats Constitutions, and laughs. A Ute sav Age would soorn to murder women , children, or unarmed men a Mississippi sav age confine his murderous exploits to those olasses; yet the former are pursued to the bit ter end, while the latter are admitted to seats at the council-board of the Nation. Now, all this Is inconsequential, Illogical and damnable; and. As sure as there Is a God in Isreal, The Man on Horseback Will take the kink of inconsistency from the halting syllogism. The foregoing ought to mike the Journal man pile on the war paint and call on Hayes with a voice ot 10,000 Niagaras to send for ward the troops to kill the Santhern savages.

Emigration to America from Genoa, Italy, steadily Increases. Hun Harriet E. Stabtow promises to excel her mother In oratory. More than 20 new books by women are an nounced for Immediate publication. The Choctaw nation, which numbers about 17,009 people, has 40 schools and two academies The new code of ocean signals agreed upon by U nations will go into use ou September 1, 1383. In order not to fall into line with the rest o the States, South Carolina had Its Thanksgiv ing last Thursday. ' Ma icy of the people of Afghanstan are fair as Englishmen, The boys are noted as being particularly handsome. Ths wholesale Iron trade of Indianapolis is brisker now than It has been for years, and there seems to have been a heavy advance in prices alt along the tine notably In nails,

which have wonderfully "boomed" in demand

and higher prlcei. ' - " Iowa's new capitofr at Tes Moines, has already had 11,800,003 expended on It, and will cost 12,500,000 when completed. " k X3EXF.RAL Grant had a good chance at Chieago to say he wonld not be a candidate for president, but he did not say it Corxunq has gone to Washington. Mrs Sprague resides there, and there are no shot guns about tne premises, either. : The late rains have been general through out ths whole country, aod have been of in finite value to the next year's wheat crop. The New Orleans Picayune says a conserva tive estimate of the present sugar crop would be 193,000 hogsheads, against 208,000 last year, Bam Francisco courU have decided that rent can not be collected for premises which the landlord knew to be for immoral purposes, It is proposed to propagate sponges on the Florida coast by cutting the live sponges Into small bits and attaching them to pieces of rock. R. B. Hates is the first . de facto president the United States ever ' had who was not elected. He is also the first who ever left his exalted position to take part In a State elec tion, and "stomp" it for partisan purposes. The eoal trade of Indiana has never been so brisk as now. This in consequence of the low stage of water prevailing in the Ohio river, Oae hundred car loads of block coal is almoet tbe dally average from Indianapolis to Clncinn atl. The Nashville 'Ameiicau says the Cincin nati Enquirer speaks of Potterand Hendricks. Good ticket. But tell us, is that an "Ohio idea?" Becaute if it is we have had aa unus ual rnn of bad seasons on Ohio ideas, and may have another. The traffic in raw furs is an increasing inter est in Indianapolis business. It Is larger at present than ever known before In the history of tbe city, and is yearly increasing. The furs mostly traded in are mink, coon, skunk. muskrat and opossum. Bevjaxis Franklin's father, Jcslah Franklin, wrote a letter in 1771 containing a genealogical sketch ot his family, and the letter will stou be sold in Boston, with other valuable manuscripts in the collection of the late Colonel Brant Mayer. The Wheeling Dispatch says the trouble about the Grant boom is that it has oom menced to boom early.The visiting places will soon be exhausted at the rate the presidential circus company is moving, and when the elr cult is made, what will be left to sustain tbe boom? The Indianaptlls summer packing of bogs. ending November 1, amounts to 2M.O0O head, Average net weight, 170 pounds. Estimated averaze net cost, 11.70 per 1 JO pounds. Winter packers commenced operations ear.y last week, bnt the weather almost immediately turned warmer, and they shut down. Norfolk, Vs., did an export business last year of 110,000,000, and with her cotton returns now ranks as the second cotton exporting port in tne United States. It is the first pea nut port in the world, receiving the entire crop of Virginia, which la much larger than tbe growths of Tennessee and Horth Carolina. General Sherman, in his memoirs, play fully alludes to the fact that when bis army got into South Carolina, he, one night, while occupying a splendid residence, rekindled his fire with a mantle clock belonging to the house. It was Just such sportive outbursts as this which endear General Tecamseh to the good people of the Palmstto State. The late Mrs. David Divls had been slowly dying for several weeks, and her husband had been constantly watch ing at her bedside. It is aaid that those who knew him before only in his public character "were greatly moved to see how completely the strong man was like little child lu his domestic attachments." Tne election of Waldo Hutcbins, in the Twelfth New York district will increase tbe Democratic majority in the House. This is the district which was represented for several terms by Clarkson N. Potter. It is naturally a Democratic district by four or five thousand msjorlty, but last year was carried by tbe Republican candidate, who died on the night of the election. f New Orleans Is carpeting its riverfront with mats of cane bound with wire, to prevent tha Father of Waters from washing Its shores away. The mats are a foot and a half tbick, Zj feet wide, and 20) feet long, one end being fastened to piles driven In the river bank and the otber laid upon the river bottom, where it is anchored by sand bags. The mats are made by machinery, and it is the Intention to cover 8,000 yards of tbe river front with them. A Confederate cap-machine has been un earthed In Danville, Va. In May, lSGl, W. H Wash, a millwright Invented a machine that would make 30.0CO caps in 10 hours. He sold it to the Government for $15,000, returned to Lynchburg: made another which had a capacof 80.0CO per day (10 hours) and sold it for $3,000. He subsequently manufactured another with a capacity of 12,000 caps per hour. When Rich mond was evacuated this last machine was pnt on a heavy wagon and carried to Danville, where It has remained in a rubbish heap ever since. Thk Kew York Herald, alluding to the re cent election in New York, says: "We sus pect that the prevalent Republican notion that the Democratic party of New York ia fatally divided, so lar aa concerns next year, is a mistake. The election has settled one thing ; it has shown that Mr. Tilden is not an avail able presidential candidate, and that is all. There are people who, granting this, never theless urge that Mr. Tilden will aUU be able to fling the State to the Republicans, and that the bitterness of his disappointment will lead him to do so." We do not think so. Mr. Tilden is too good a Democrat to do anything of the kind. The following respsc ting the Imports of spe cie we take from tbe Daily Commercial-Bul letin of the 11th: The specie imports at this port during the week ending November 7, amount in tbe aggregate to 15,472,511, of which t5.0bl.syj is gold and 1393,016 silver.

A younq physician In California was engaged to be married to a young lady In a Southern State, and as a keepsake sent her a sraa'l nngget of gold. He was prosperous, and the weadlna was fixed for an early date. Bnt a sudden fall in his circumstances reduced him to poverty. Too honorable to hold tbe young lady to her promise In his altered cir cumstances be reluotantly and with many a heart-pang wrote, releasing her from her en gagement But the young lady bad a brave heart, and resolved on keeping her promise in spite of the chance in her lover's position. She took the little nugget of gold and had it made into a ring, which she sent to the young physioian. On the ring was the inscription: "Entreat me not to leave thee; for whither thou goest I will go; and where thou lodgeat I will lodge; and thy people shall be my peo

Bride and bridesmaids were ready, the church was lighted, and tbe clergyman tlood waiting, in Galveston, last Wednesday, bat no bridegroom appeared.

Two young women were to travel without amalo escort, from -Anrellus, N. Y., to Ban Francisco.

A Washington special of yesterday ssysthe Democratic outloik In Washington is still mixed. All Democrats concede that the man wanted Is one that can carry Indiana and New York. The Bayard boom has met with a check, so to speak, because no senMble Democrat bc-lleves he could carry Indiana. "If Tilden - would only d!e,"say some stanch Democrats,. "the situation wonld be simplified, for the reason that It is believed here that he is as much a candidate as e rer, and If, after all, themost promisiag." Now and again th(-re is a little boom started In hotel circle for David Davis, of Illinois, but It is ephemeral, and soon loses its wind and rorce. The Washington Post saya: "We have a suggestion to make. What man Is there in tbe party who could so command Its unanimous and enthusiastic support as Horatio Seymour? What mau could so un-ly sweep tbe Empire State be tbe opposition candidate whom he might? Tbe two Democratic nominees must come from New York snd Indiana. Tuesday's election settled that. Governor Hendricks, Indiana's most prominent Democratic statesman, will not again take the second place. After him Senator Joxeph E. McDonald looms np as the favorite eon of the Hoosler State. We propose, therefore, to make the ticket Seymour and McDonald. It will doub'less be said that Seymour will agalp decline to run, as he baa already declined. But If he must run, for ourselves we cherlsi a firm belief that Governor Seymonr, with the necessities of thecase properly presented to him, would not refuse to save his party. And it may come to a question of Just that. Seymour and McDonald would be Invincible. Seymour would carry New York against Grant, Sherman,. Blaine, or anyone whom the Republicans couiu put in tne neiu. McDonald could not be beaten in Indiana. Tbe South will come upsolid I y to the support of any candidates we may name. This is the ticket to win. Let us nominate it. QCITBEII BT ABQOBFTIOH.
