Cialis GS SS ae j ; { 1 5 | mamamnacine Plenty of Material trom which to select the Democratic Standard Bearer: New York Sun. The calm and hose distinguished Democrats in the time has now arrived for a comprehensive review ot erent parts of the country from zmong whom the National Conven- tion of the party wili be likely to se- tect its candidate for President. It Mr. Tilden were willing to take the nomination, no other man would be thought of; but his refusal puts him out of the question, To thous- is and thousands of patriotic men this is an unexpected and a painful conclusion ; and it leaves their minds They had concentrated their zt sea. thoughts upon Mr. Tilden, not only from the special reason which turns every mind in that direction, but also irom the tact that they have not been able to discover in the whole range of the republic, any other satesman whose nomination would so entirely extricate the party trom various un- neccessary and injurious complica- tions in which it has become involved. But Mr. Tilden refuses ; and whether we will or not, another candidate must be found, and who shall he be? Luckily for the country the singu— Jar position of Mr. Tilden, and the concentration of the public attention upon him, has presented among the Democracy the development of those personal and factional ambitions and rivalries which have been playing such a disorganizing Part in the coun- cils of the Republicans; and, while the choice of the Democratic leader may be difficult, it is cartain that it will not be destrucuive to the party. Thus when the candidate js nom1- nated he will be very sure 2n undivided and zealous support. First of all, then let us say that the ucannot be found in the States south ot the Potomac and the Ohio. The day has not yet come when it might be advantageous to nominate a to receive representative of that part ot the Un- ion as the Democratic candidate tor “I have never permitted myself’’, Mr. Carlisle has recently said, ‘to indulge in the hope that the nomination would go south of the old President. slave line. The public mindin = the north is still seniative upon questions connected with the late war, and our friends will doubtless think it inayis- able to take a candidate from the South, at least so long as the Repub- leans continue to take both of them North.’” The Southern and their array of strong men must, then, be left out of our present examination. On the the Pacific coast there isa Sonspicious and very able aspirant in the person of Mr. Justice Field of Supreme Court. He 15 a protound lawyer, and in regard to all public auestions that involve a constitutional doctrine he shows himself thoroughly imbued with Democratic principles. We heard of him as a candidate in 1872, in 1876, and in 1880, In the Jast named year his friends made an energetic attempt to secure his nom- ination, and the delegations from the Pacific coast were willing. But in the present emergency his popularity at home seems to have declined. The Demogracy in Cahtornia have become strongly wedded to anti- mo- nopoly doctrines, and, justly or un- justly, they seem to have imbibed a teeling ot hostility to Judge -Field in msequence. trom the States In fact, some ot the pery conventions in that State itly instructed their dele— €s to oppose his nomination; and € indispensable condition of suc- is that aspirant taly supported by the delegation Sowa cess is the g must be we conciude in the National Conyention tate, that of next S nomination.

Of all the states, Ohio 1s perhaps the richest in Presidential material. Judge Ranney, not often mentioned among modern politicians, has abili- ties of the highest order; Mr. Groes- beck would make a splendid Presi- dent; Mr. Thurman would be a pop- ular candidate and a truly Democrat- 1c Executive, Mr. Payne or Judge Hoadly would shine in the White House. But there is one potent and insurmountable objection: Tonom- inate any Ohio man would be to throw the contest for the Presidency into ‘the state election of October, with the chances decidedly against the Democrats. Ohio would then be- come the battle ground of the whole Union. Money would be poured out there without stint, and corruption would rule the hour, demoralizing the whole country. Such a result does not seem attractive. It would be very unwise tor the Democrats to choose an Ohio candidate until the state elec- tion 1s changed to the month of No- vember, In Pennsvlvania there is a distin guished statesman, a true Democrat ; zealous and faithful in the public ser- vice, who would make a President far beyond the ave have occupied th gr age of those who at office.

New Jersey and Connecticut do not now present any Democrstic citizen who aspires to the nomination; but in New York there are two Who are much discussed. We mean, of course, Goyernor Cleveland and Ros- well P. Flower. Each has peculiar merits, and those of the Governor are rare and elevated; but each also has points of compantive weakness.
