Show BAYARD LOOMING. Senator Bayard, of Delaware, is looming aa a domocratio presidential candidate in 1880. It is unfortunate that be U a reeident of a small ei.itr: that has only three votes in tbo electoral elec-toral college, and no special eflort need he made to carry the slate, -as it ia aa surely democratic aa Iowa id republican. re-publican. New York will havo to elect the next president, and it is exceedingly doubtful whether an out-nide out-nide democrat can overcome tho republican repub-lican majority in tho Empire Btate. State pride would cause a good many republicans to voto fur a democratic member of their owu commonwejlth, but if the candidate bo chosen from another state voters will not bo apt to desert the parly to sustain him. Senator Sen-ator Bayard, perhaps, stands at the head of the domocrata, aa a atates-man, atates-man, but his residence is against him at thia time when the contest is to cloao, and every vote counts Were he in New York, wo believe the stats would give him a rousing majority for tho presidency, and it is poeaiblethe money element in politics poli-tics may now be turned in his favor, in which event success would be almost certain. To make the thing safe, however, the democrats had bolter nominate a New York man, and eo far as candidates have appeared, ap-peared, no one of them can approach Mr. Tilden, notwithstanding Peltor, "Gobble," and Ciphers generally. |
