NEW ENGLAND. The Land of the Pilgrims Almost a Unit for Tilden Hard Money and a Strong Candidate. THE EAST AGAINST THE WEST CONNECTICUT. THE DELEGATION NINE YOR TILDEN AND THREE FOR BAYARD. Haxtrorp, June 1, 1876, The Connecticut delegation to St. Louis is composed of excellent material, including United States Senator Barnum, C. M. Ingersoll (a brother of the Governor) and R. D, Hubbard, a leading politician, The Conven- tion by which these gentlemen were elected was held in New Haven February 23, and, while no instructions were given, the hard money plank inserted in the platform is constraed by the delegation as formal notice that no soft money man shall receive their support. No meeting had been held to decide upon any particu- Jer candidate, and the delegation is about evenly divided betweon Tilden and Bayard. ‘THR DELEGATES AT LARGE, A. E. Burr, of Hartford, delegate from the First Uistrict, and editor of the Hartford Times, tho acknowl: tdged organ ot the Connecticut democracy, is a gentle- man whose action in conjunction with Senator Bar- tum will undoubtedly guide the course of the Con- neeticut delegation at St Louis. Mr. Burr is in some- what feeble health, and does not expect to attend the Convention, but will rend a substitute who will fully rep- resent nis views, Mr. Burris understood to be privately for Bayard for first choice, but is openly for Tilden first and Bayard second, and think# that the Eastern men will succeed in capturing the nomination for their sec- tion, owing to divisions among the democraey of the West. C. M, Incersoun, of New Haven, delogate at largo from the Second district, can be counted among the Tilden supporters, on an understanding reported to bave been reached by which his brother, Governor In- Kersoll, will receive political houors in the event of the tlecuon of Tilden, Naturally enough, he would like to have bis brother for first place, as other iriends huve Buggested in the excess of their poliucal regard tor Connecticut’s thrice elected Governor; but he does not Fegurd this as within the range of probabilities, and will go with the majority of the delegation for Tilden as the beat choice for Connecticut, Fxaxcts B. Loomis, of New London, large irom the Third district, may be counted tor Bay- ard tor first enoice, as he much prefers him to Tilden for several reasons, one of which relates to bis finan- tial theories, Mr. Loomis is not quite as stricta hard money man, at least according to the Tilden view of it, us Some of his colleagues. He regards Bayard as a MMorough gentleman, with an excellent political record, wd as one Who would fill the Presidennal chair with honor to himself and credit to the nition. Tildon he might take for second choice, and Hendricks for third if the Presidential nomination has to go to the We: Unite States Senator Wituiam H. Bakxum, of Salis- bury, delegate at large from the Fourth district, may also be counted for Tilden first and Bayard second, At Bt, Louis he will be the reai power in the delegation, ud mainly on his recommendations the delegates will act. He regards Tilaen as the strongest man in the East that the democracy can put in nomination, aud fecis that Connecticut can be pledged to his hearty sup- port. COUNTY DELEGATES, Dwicut Morais, of bridgeport, though residing in Fairticid county, 13 the delegate from Litchfield county, and does not contemplate yielding the place given him by the Convention to any clamor made on account of the unusual selection of aman outside the county to represent it, Mr. Morris’ first choice is Tilden, as the strongest candidate, but mdividually he preters Bay- ard. Arter Tilden and Bayard, he vhinks New York, New Jersey and the New England States must combine not to see whom they will bave, but whom they will not have, However, he regards Tilden as “the coming man.”” Mr. Morris is ultra hard money, has a poor »pinion ot Thurmun’s chances and regards it as suicidal lor the democracy to nominate a soit money man, Tuomas Evags, of Derby, delegate trom New Haven tounty, prefers Bayard as bis first choice, as a courtly, digk-toned gentleman, of strict mtegrity and nobio | rinciples, one Who would make a model President, iden be don’t like on account of his record York politics, bat would take him for second choice and vote for him if the remaining delegates agreed on his name. Thurman is the best mar trom the West. On a hard money plattorm alone ean the democracy carry the election, and to sutisfy the people ot the Nut- meg State the Connecticut delegation must support a hard money man, or one moderately 50, at least. Ricnarp D, Hussar, of Hartford,’ delegate from Harttord county, and weil known as a promimont lawyer and politician, favors Tilden for first choice as the best representative of democratic principles men- sioned from the East, With bis name on the ticket New York would be safe for the democracy, Bayard, wt Delaware, is bis next choice, and if neither of these jentiemen can get a nomination against the Western »pposition Mr. Hubbard would regard Thurman fayor- sbiy. He thinks Bayard’s chances even better than Cilden’s for joining some Western votes to nis Rastern support, as Tilden’s straight-out hard money tenden- ties are too well kuown. If totn Tilden and Bayard fail, (ben the Connecticut delegation will throw their tin favor of the leading Western candidate, and Will have some hope of getting a Connecticut name for the second place on the ticket. Isaac ARNOLD, of Haddam, delegate from Middlesex county, is one of the old war horses of the Connecticut democracy, a sbrewd politician and one whose opin- fons are revarded as of value in State affairs. His first choice is lilden and then Bayard. Tilden may expect Dpposition because it would be the. second successive Presidential pomination irom the Empire State, yet he ‘will most likely go imto the Convention with the most votes. If Doth must go to the wail, then Mr. Aruold thinks Thurman the next best man, and if the Presi- dency goes to the West the Connecticut delegates will push for the Vice Presidency, with Governor Ingersoll for their first and ex-Governor Engitsh for their second choice. Ingersoil’s splendid record will hetp nim, while English’s friends claim that he ought to have something, as the Senatorship has been given to Bar. nun. Mr. Arnold thinks it not impossible that both parties will find it expedient to throw aside old politi tal leaders and put ap comparatively unkuown men, Ricuarn S. Hicks, Treasurer of the savings bank at Btafford Springs, is the delegate from Tolland county. Hicks is a shrew4, cautious politician, going for avail- able men in preference to those having only strict party principles to commend them. Though inclined to be rather reticent as to his personal favorites for the Presidency, it is learned that he is rather cool toward Tilden, on the ground that he will be apt to arouse too sirong an opposition from the greenback element. Bay- ard 1s more moderate in his views, would be the best man, and Judge Davis next. He is frank to say that t democracy ought to be guided by the republican nomin Hon, and to match it with the most avai cratic candidate, trimming so as to catch itt publicans. However, Hisks is a good pai will be gaided by Senator Eaton avd yo with ation. : Epwarp C, Hunter, delegate from New London ts free to express bis preferences tor Tilden tor choice, belivving him to be the strongest. man that the democrats have, His bard mouey doctrines quite suit Mr. Hunter, and his support can never be re- lied upon, on principle, for any man who ts not with him in this respect, though as a good partisan be would go with his ‘delegation for the most available man, even it of opposite views, Yet he would have ho heart im the work nor io the fall canvass, Jt Mr Tilden caunot be secured his preference is most likely then to be for Bayard; but as to second choice be is in- thoed to be non-committal, Joux L. Hoyten, delegate from Windham county, for Tilden for first choice for the Presidency, regarding him as the strongest candidate that the democrats can put up and able to carry New York by a splendid ma- writy. Bayard, his second choice, he looks upon as a supable gentleman who would fill the office acceptably, but lacking fm strength as compared with Tilden, though his chances have visibly improved ot late. Huxry Suxnwoon, of Sherman, delegate from Pair- field coanty, is favorably disposed toward Tilden, bis relations with democrats in New York state, to which bis town @joins, having had some influence on bim in tddition to the pronounced views oi mituential col- feagues in bis own delegation. On second choice Mr. Twood is somewhat undecided, but if the nomina- hon goes West may be counted for Hendricks, unless bis delegation, unites solidly om some other gentleman, delegate at delo- MASSACHUSETTS. HE OLD BAY STATE ALMOST SOLID FoR NEW YORE'’S REFORM GOVERNOR-—-WHAT SOME OF THE DELEGATES HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT. + Bostox, June 24, 1876. Massachusetts, like the rest of the New England Btates, wiil be found solid and enthusiastic for the nomination ot Governor Tilden, of New York, as the most proper and available man to compote with “Gov- ernor Hayes, of Obio, for the Presidency. Ever since the name of the reform Governor of New York has pees prominently mentioned in connection with the @emocratic nomination he has been regarded here a8 Qe foremost and strongest man to match against who- over might be backed by the inflacnce and prestige of the present administration. At the State as well as @ the district conventions, where the delegates ‘were chosen, the name of Mr. Tilden was the only ene which appeared to meet with favor, and the Massachusetts delegation m supporting him will only reflect the current democratic sentiment of the State, A private und preliminary meeting of the dele. gates beld in Boston a few days since wus for the pr pose of organizing end ascertaining the ideas of the ‘ peveral gentlomen, and the almost unanimous expres- NEW ro sion was in favor of Tilden, and the same declarations had also been made to the Heap reporter by the del- egates previous to their departure for St. Louis, THE DELEGATES AT LARGE, Josiam G, Anuorr, of Boston (or Judge abbott, as ne is more popularly known), will be atthe head of the delegation, “I am for the nomination of Governor Tilden,” be said, ‘and you will find that to be the gen- eral sentiment of the New England and New York del- ” Juage Abbott, it is proper to add, is just now rejoicing in the distinction ot being a sort of Congress- man elect, he having suecessfully contested the seat now held by Rufus Prost (repabl'can), of Chelsea, Patrick A, Couuixs, of Boston, a rising young lawyer as well as a prominent democratic politician, i¢ strong for Ttiden, but would not vote against Hancock if Tilden’s nomination seemed impossible, Epwarp Avery, of Braintree, also a prominent Mas- sachusetts lawyer, also knows no man but New York’s Governor as his first choice. Grorcz W. Git, of Worcester, takes pride in declaring that there will be no more faithful man found at St Louis than himself THE DISTRICT DELEGATES. First District—Nicholas Hathaway, of Fall River; Philauder Cobb, of Kingston, ‘Second District—Francts W. Bird, of Walpole; Ed- ward P. Reed, of Abington.

Gaylord, of Northamp- tou; Nahum Harwood, of Leomtuster. Hleventh District—tugh Donnelly, of Springfeld; Cebra Quackenbush, of Springtield, lL have found in my interviews that nearly all of the foregoing will stick by Mr. Tilden in preference to any other candidates yet uamed; and the exceptions are Mr. Reed, of Abington, and Mr. Cobb, of Kingston. They will not violently oppose Mr. Tilden, but they say that they reserve the right to vote for any other man if they deem him most tit for the nomination, Francis W. Binp, of Walpole, one ot the Second dis- trict delegates, ts a’ deserter from the most radical of the radical republicans, and hjs presence in a demo- cratic nationaf convention will strike as singular many who have watched his political career during the last twenty years, am for Tilden,” he declared to your correspondent, “anu I regard itas madness to think soriously of any other candidate.” MICHAEL DoweRTY, one of the Boston delegates and a Tepresentative democrat of Boston, has attended in the capacity of delegate all the Democratic National con- ventions since the famous gathering at Cnarieston in 1860. Me believes that with Tilden and a strong West- ern man for Vice President the democrats have reason to believe themselves capable of avictory next No- vember, Hueu Done, the delegate from Springfield, will ve one of the most versatile geniuses in the Conven- tion, He 19 not only a politician and lawyer of rare ability, but has been a warrior on the flelds of Virginia, Vermont and Canada, his record in the Fenian war, as well as in the war of the rebellion, being one of daz- zing splendor, Although he is a good evough ‘Tilden man he will not stick to him as blindly as some of the other delegates, To the Heraup correspondent he said the other day—“I consider it the duty ot the Con- vention to nominate the best man in the party, both for the sake of the country, in the first place, and for the future success and welfare of the democracy in the second place, My constituents are pretty unanimous for Tilden, and I suppose I ought, in justification, to vast my vote in the Convention for him, at least on the first and second ballot, but after that 1 think I shal vote for the man that the democratic States represented in the Convention want, and I think that will be Hendricks. I cousider successu duty, and want the man nominated that wiil be sure to win. The republicans have selected the battle ground, and I think we mast meet them with a Western mao, Our delegation atthe meeting in Boston strongly for 80 because hii ers had been had seen part of our delegation. 1 want fairplay, and don’t like the way Tilden has managed his campaign so far, but will support the nominee, whoever he ig, If the repub- licans could nommate a candidate for us they would select Tilden, avd I for one begin to think it is about time the democrats selected their own candidates without any aid from Sam Bowies or any other republican editor. 1 consider it bad policy either in war or politics to do precisely what your enemies advise. I don’t think I ought to give you the vi of other delegates without their knowledge, but there are two or three delegates in the Massachusetts delegation that will not be sold and delivered to Sam Tilden or any other man without making a little noise over it. Asa soldier 1 preter Hancock, but I think we have had enough of miltary presidents, and the “boys tn blue’ are not so popular with our republicaa triends as they were when they were fighting their battles for them. The opposition to Tilden is widespread among the New York city democracy, and as they are the men that fur- nish the votes I don’t think we Massachusetts fellows ought to force him down their throat: 1 know if the New York boys would attempt to crowd “Bull Gaston” on us, you would hear some growling trom old Massa- chusetts, and 1 think we ought to do as we would wish to be done by.” RHODE ISLAND. THE DELEGATION WILL VOTE SOLID FOR TIL- DEN—-THR NEXT CHOICE HENDRICKS—NEW YORK AND THE WEST—TILDEN AND HEN- DBICKS A TICKET WHICH WOULD SWEEP THR couNnTRY. Provipexog, Juno 22, 1876, The Rhode Island delogation to the St. Louls Con- vention comprises the ablest and most prominent mem- bers of the party in the State, and may be taken as true representatives of the democratic sentiments of the East. They were chosen at the State Convention from the several counties, and are instructed to vote as & unit at the National Convention. A couple of changes have been made in the delegation since the Convention, the name of Colonel John M. Studiey being substituted for Thomas R. Gardner. of Provi- dence county, and Henry De Blois for General J. Alfred Hazard, of Newport’ The delegation now stands as follows:— Providence Cownty—Nicholas Van Slyck, William B, Beach, John P. Cooney and John M. Studley. Bristol County—W illiam T. C. Wardwell. Newport County—Henry De Blois, Washington County—John B. Pierce, Kent County—Alpheus F, Angell. The delegation has organized by the cholce of Nicho- Jas Van Slyck as chairman and William T. C. Ward- well a secretary, both of whom have already departed for St. Louis and the remainder of the number will go on Friday. Colonel NicnoLas Vax Styck, the chairman of the delegation, is the recognized leader of the State de- mocracy to-day and isa man of commanding ability and influence, He is one of the very first members of the Rhode Island Bar, and at present is City Solicitor of Providence. He represents Rhode Island in the Dem- ocratic National Committee, and several years ago ran for Congress on the demo ticket for the Eastern district of the State, Though the democrats are in the miaozity here Colonel Van Slyck has succeeded in being elected to some prominent positions in State and municipal gouncils, but principally throagh democratic und republican coalition, He was Presiaent of the City Council of last year, and in the Legislature of the same year was Representative from Providence. Colonel Van Slyck is clearly pronounced tor Governor Samuel J, Tilden, of New York, as the best candidae for mmocratic §=party of the country. He hat there is a general and pressing demand of retorm sentiments like Tilden for the and tbat the Governor cannot only carry New York State, but the £ and other sections of the country. Tilden is Colonel Van Slyck’s first choice, and bo will cast unit for bim the vote of the Rhode d delegation. fhe next conspicuous and distinguished member of the delegation is hon. Wittiaw B. Bracn, of Provi- dence, Who was democrati didate tor Governor in the last election, Hg 18 ® native of Indiana, and came here and settied In ), just after the war. His long residence i the Hooser State gave him au insight mto the politics of the West and an acquaintance with about of the prominent politicians of that section, weiua- ing those Who are now named as probable candidates for the Democratic Convention. He is a warm personal friend and admirer of ex-Governor Hendricks, of In- diana, and, aside from the action of the Roode Island delegation, Hendricks 18 his personal chovee tor the Presidential nomination. In an interview with Mr. Beach your correspondent was iniormed that while the delegation are now pronounced for Tilden, they wiil, however, should they become satis. fied that Hendricks would be as stron, and acceptable in New York aud the Kast as Tilden, support him tor jt the nomination, masmuch as Hendricks has Strength in the West. But it is nardiy likely the New York and Eastern democrats will be satisfied with any- body but Tilden, and with what strength he already seesses in the South and West he scems most ikely to secure the nominaion Mr. Beach says the people Wont & man who bas been tried as @ reformer, and the eminent statesmanship and public services of Mr. Tilden put him forward as the bational leader of the people When asked who was his second choice Mr. Beach said be bad nono now in particular, as be recognized all who have been named for the pominatiou—Hendrie Thurma: Bayard and Hancock—as all first class men. He thought, howevér, that in the event of Tuden’s nomination, if Hendricks could be prevailed upon take the nomina- tion tor the Vice Presidency, such w ticket would sweep the country. Mr, Beach Ueserived to your cor- respondent a very pleasant interview he had about three weeks ago with Governor filden in Albany, while on @ projessivnal visi, In this meeting Mf, Beach took occasion to remark to Governor Tiiden that he thought at the trme that his bold, open war upon Tam- many i eXpoving its corraption, mace, as It was, upon the eve of tho fail elections, was inopportune «nd would prove ruinous to the prospects o! the demo- crate, rhor Tilden replied that in his warfare upon corruption be felt confident the people would sustain him and he risked the consequences as iar RK HERALD, SUNDAY, JUNE 25 1876—QUADEUPLE SHEET. ag the parry was concerned, and the result justified his action. Mr, Beach then related how he had been reading a sketch of the life and career of Mr. Tilden, which convinced him that was a most remarkable man and just the one to bear the democratic standard in the Presidential campajgn. Even at the early age of eignteen, said Mr, Beach, Samuel J. Tilden grappled with the most important public questions im a statesmanlike way, and wrote out b's views, which were afterward indorsed by Mun- roe and issued in the shape of an address to the people. Mr. Beach said that in private conversation Governor Tilden’s worde, like his public acts, are full of wisdom and practical bearing. This knowledge of Governor Tilden’s public services produces a strong impression on the mind of Mr, Beach of the Governor's integrity and statesmanship, Mr. Jony P, Cooney is a wealthy liquor merchant of Prov: ce, and is a member of the City Council. He is set down asa firm supporter of Gevernor Tilden. Colonel Joun M. Stupiey, of Providence, 1s a well known business man and an active and prominent member of his party, _ He is a Tildenite. Mr. Wituiam T. C, Warpweut, of Bristol, isa suc- cessful merchunt of that town. He is secretary of the ew and will be recorded with the rest for iden. Mr. Henry Dr Brow is a prominent Newporter, and ‘will support Tilden. Mr. Jony B. Pinner, of Kingeton, was candidate for Lieutenant Governor on the ticket with Mr, Beach in the election i» April, He is in line with the rest of the delegates in favor of Tilden, Mr, ALpunve F. Axorit, of Kent county, is a to-do real estate broker and has been in the Legisla- bcd Though uninsiructed how to vote he will go tor ilden, ‘The entire delegation are, therefore, a unit for Tilden a aret choice, and for next will probably go for Hen- icks, NEW HAMPSHIRE. NINE OUT OF TEN OF THE GRANITE STATE DELEGATES DECLARE FOR GOVERNOR TILDEN-— AM OBSTINATE EDITOR FAVORS HANCOCK. Coxcorp, June 24, 1876, It is easy to tell how the New Hampshire delogates to St. Louis will go, for they have, with a single excep- tion) formally, individually and collectively declared for Governor Tilden as the first choice and most avail- able man, The dissenting delegate is Edwin C. Bailey, editor of the Concord Patriot, whose first choice is General Hancock, but who says he will go for Tilden or any otber good man if it appears that his favorite is not likely to succeed. The names of the several gen- tlemen composing this solid Tilden phalanx are as fol- Jow: First District~Lafayotte Hall, of Newmarket, and Henry M, Metcall, of Dover.

Perkins, of Jetierson, and Hosea W, Parker, of Claremont, Most of the delegates leave for St. Louis to-day. VERMONT. THE GREEN MOUNTAIN DE}EGATES TO GO A SOLID UNIT FOR NEW YORK’S CANDIDATE. Montreiimr, June 24, 1876, Although Vermont will not amount to much for the democrats, when the election comes round, she is, nev- | ertheless, of considerable importance on the occasion of a National Convention. On the, occasion ol the St. Louis gathering she will throw her full strength of ten votes for Samuel J. Tilden. At the Convention which Selected the dologates, held in this town a few days since, the name of the New York candidate was most enthusiastically applauded whenever mentioned, and the gentiemen chosen to represent the State were most willingly instructed to use every eflort to secure his nomination. The delegation is made up as follows:—Marcus D. Gilman, Montpelier, chairman; Smalley, Bur- lington; Jasper Rand, St Albans: 3. Benjamin, Wolcott; James H. Williams, Bellows? Falls; J.

The objection to Mr. Bayard 18 not real, yet the re- publicans would be giad to see him placed in nomina- tion, No soft money democrat should be nominated, and any man too much identified with this vex Hinancial question ior the good of the party has po business to be a candidate, Upon the threshhold of the coming century there are questions of even more importance. Deep in the hearts of the people there is a yearning fur a more fully restored Union, The candidate of the glorious eld democracy must symbolize this idea; he must be one upon whom all can upite—the boys in biue and the boys in gray—and support with enthusiasm.

You cite itas an unlucky name and to prove which you mention several oilices from which hitherto the namo has been excluded—viz., Prosident, Vice President, Speaker ot the House, Sec- retary of State, and, with one exception, President of the Senate, and this exception was named Smith, To quote, you say:—‘The only Samuel who ever sat in tue chair of the Senate as a presiding oflicer was called Smith,’ Allow me to correct you, Samuel L, South- ard was three times elected to fill this last named position, and the third time was the permanent pre- siding olficer of the Senate, substantially Vice Presi- dent of the United States, John Tyler being then President, Again, ‘There has never been a Samuel m the State Department, and so we might continue, &ec.”’ Permit me to say you could not continue very far, for the Treasury has had two of that unlucky name, the Navy one, the War Department one, Post Office Department two, besides Senators from, nearly every Northern State have answered to that same un- lucky name. s. POLITICAL NOTES. Norwich (Conn.) Bulletin:—‘The friends of Jocl Parker, of Now Jersey, are pressing bis name quite strongly upon the consideration of the democratic purty as a candidate for the St Louis nomination. Parker 18 not much known, but is a tip-top man, locally, So, too, is Governor Ingersoll, of Connecticuy Indeed, of the two, we should say the latter would make the best President,” Boston Herald:—‘The democratic House should stand firm foreconomy. The retrenchment it proposes 18 reasonable, and will not impair the eflicicncy of the government.’’ Detroit Free Press:—‘“There never was any really good foundation for the two-thirds rule, and its adop- tion at first was in direct antagonism to the principle of majority, which ig one of the cardinal doctrines of the democracy. If it has achioved any dignity as a Precedent it should be robbed thereof at the first opportunity.’? Chicago Tribune:—“Perceiving the necessity for carrying Ohio and Indiana in Octover, Messrs. Schell and Kelly entertain a preference for Hendricks, and they do not attempt to conceal their purpose to leave no stone unturned and no argument unused to convince the St. Louis Convention that the nomination of Tilden would be a genuine disaster to the party in New York. ‘Anybody to beat Tilden’ is their motto, be the same Jadge Davis, General Hancock, Joel Parker, Senator Bayard or whomsoever they can use to accomplish the desired object,” Illinois State Register:— ‘The two-thirds rule is hter- ally one of the relics of barbaric political machinery which should be abolished, It was originally adopted to assist sectional purposes, and its result during all the years of its existence has been for evil with but few exceptions, Let it be abolished.” Mohawk Vailey (N. Y.) Democrat:—‘‘What tue conn- try needs is @ man who has dealt vigorous blows un the side of right; aman who has not been afraid to grapple with thieves; a man who has broad, compre- hensive, statesmanlike views to litt us from the Slough of Despond. That man is not Rutherford B. Hayes, nor was he selected by Morton, Conkling and Cameron for that purpose, ”” Richmond (Va.) Enquirer: —‘General Hancock grows tn favor throughout the country, There is no stain upon his escutcheon. The North and the South would support him with equal enthusiasm. He would run better than anybody else in New York, and is the only cundidate among the democrats who would stand a ghost of a chance in Pennsylvania) His nomination would be an emphatic declaration in favor of retrench- ment, reconciliation and reform.’’ . Newborg (N. Y,) Journal:—“The democratic papers havo begun their ‘campaign slanders’ early. They charge that both Hayes and Wheeler are ‘salary grab- bers.’ Governor Hayes was not in the Congress which passed the salary grab; Mr. Wheeler was in it, but voted against the grab and refused to take his extra pay.” Cleveland Plaindealer:—‘'The friends ot Governor Parker, of Now Jersey, are making a bold push for his now. ination for the Presidency. Two of the delegates from that State were in the city yesterday, and were euthusiastic in their praise for Parker, and declare they will ‘stick’ to him until the very last. ’’ Louisville Courier-Journal:—‘‘lt is gratifying to know that in the last days of President Grant’s term of power he is giving hisattention to the principles and consolations of religion.” Memphis Appeal:—“If Governor Tilden is nominated, it will be solely because the conviction of the wisdoin ‘ot such nomination has been rooted in the minds of the democracy of the Republic. New York must be carried by either party to succeed, and it must be carried by the democratic party to save the country from the fur- ther continuance of corrupt abd oppressive repub- lican Fule.”” B Kenton (Ohio) Democrat:—‘‘Hayes stands on a plat- form which indorses an administration that compeis the only honest man in the Cabinet, Bristow, to resign.” Mia Sandusky (Ohio) Journal:—‘‘If Tilden is nominated at St. Louis the German vote of the country will be almost aunit for him, The reason is because the Germans like an outspoken man and a man of positive convictions, when he is on the side of rybt and honest government. Samuel J. Tilden 1s that sort of man, and Hayes is the reverse,”” Philadelphia 7imes:—“The boys who chorish great expectations of the future will do well to look out for the Cameron bull with the bay on his horns.” Philadelphia Enquirer :—-The strong men are Tilden, Davis and Parker, and Parker 1s looming up strongly as the “Great Unknown” of St. Louis, He ts outside of all cliqacs, a man of fair ability and large popularity.”’ Philadelphia Jtem:—“'If the democrats in Congress had known the right time whon to stop this matter of investigation, and had at that time begun to do some good legislative work, they would have had a record they could stand upon, and would have presented to- day a somewhat formidable opposition, ’’ St Louis Times:—“Thurlow Weed of M Wheeler, the radical candidate for Vice ident, ‘he has been in Congress twelve years and never made a mistake.’ There is nv small army of steamboatmen up and down the Western rivers who entertain a very different opinion of Mr. Wheeler's unerring sacacity.’’ Albany Argus :—“‘in whatever light we look at it, thereloro, the nomination of Governor Tilden is seen to be but the natural and most matare expression of democratic sentiment ” * Chicago Tribune:—‘Any other candidates than Tilden and Hendricks will be equivalent to @ sarrender of the election to Hayes and Wheeler. Whichever way tho democrats may arrange their ticket the outlook for the election of Hayes and Wheeler is not only promis- ing, but exciudes the possibility of defeat.” Chieago Times:—*‘It is something in Bayes’ tavor that he knows which{side his bread is buttered on, He will not give up bis job of governing Ohio unless he is elected to be President. A ghirt on the back, says Hayes, 1s worth a whole sult of clothes at a raffle.” Charleston (8. C.) News:—“Goveruor Tilden’s ce- libacy, af he be nominated, will prove an element of strength. The female suffragists who were snubbed at Cincinnati will all work like beavers for Uncle Sam, each in the hope of receiving promotion tothe White House and a prospective widow's ‘third’ in those $4,000, 600.”” + Portland (Me.) Press:—“The nomination of Wheeler makes the first break in the democratic column. The people of Louisiana have not forgotten thy efforts of Mr. Wheeler to Testore peace to their distracted State and the wise measure of compromise which ho framed, and they will see that the electoral vote of Louisiana is cast for him.” CREEDMOOR.

CALEDONIAN GAMES AT PRINCETON COLLEGE YESTERDAY—NAMES OF THE WINNERA Yesterday afternoon the annual Caledonian games ot the Princeton College Athletic Association took place on the college baseball grounds at Princeton, To Mr. George Goldie, the well known Scotch athlete and Pro- fessor of Gymnastics at Princeton, is due the credit of establishing these games severaf years ago, and the periormances of his pupils have always been much adove the average of college sports. The grounds were well filled with the friends and’relatives of the students, a very large namber of the int rested lookers on being Jadies, The programme was a good one, well diversi- fied and affording scope for all classes of athletes, ‘The hundred yards was the first event and it was gen- erally expected that Andrew McCosh, son of Dr, McCosh, would run it easily, but he was sufforing from a gore foot and only obtained second place to H. ©. Hunt, who win by 18 tyehes, in 10m, 1-68 Larkin won the long jump. with the good record of ¢ feet 10 inches, no weights being used. Two started for the mile walk, one a short, little fellow, who carried with him the sympathies of the spectators, his op- ponent being much taller und larger. The favorite won after a good race for three-quarters of a mile, when tne big fellow began to tire, The time ef the mile was 8m. 34a., and Noble colud have done better if there had been any one to push him. Throwing the base ~ ball was done down hill, and with the wind, which accounts’for the score being 376 feet 4 inches. Considering the age of the competitors, the record of 31 feet 2 inches in putting the sixteca pound shots was a creditable one, Mann being second with 29 feet 10 inches, Neither the quarter, half nor mile runs were particularly fast, the mile being the best of the lot, as Greene had no one to keep him com- pany, and it was hard work on such an up and down hilltrack, It Mr. Greene gocs to Saratoga he will be able to improve greatly on this record, for he rans in a good, easy style. The hurdle race, 130 yards, over 10 thghta, 3 feet 6 inches high, was run in 19 1-6 seconds vy J. M. Woods, but both this and the 100 yards race was extra fast, because of the course being down hill. Two prizes were given for each event to the one making the best average record a silver cup wat offered. This fell to A. J. McCosh, who beat J. M. J only. The ia were Messrs, arquand and J.
