"I shall say it." retorted BIckburu,
'whether yo.(u allow it or not.''
"Don'-u repeatl it,," said Cotli'oth, ''or

"I4 tlo repent, it," said Blalckburn,
'and if' you denly it, yout are at liar and

At this point- friends stepped be

den and Sherman Opposing Icebergs
Why Sammy Doesn't Spenk Out-Governor
Bishop as a Possible Candidate.
Cor. Chrobicle and Constitutltnalst.
WASIiLNGTON, March 26.-In this
part of the North it is felt that doubt
ful States, floating yotes, are now
masters of the situation. On the re
cognized political principle of taking
care of your enemies-for your friend$
will take care of themselves--the
States that are sire to go. Democratic
or Republican need expect no favors;
nor caln the silet pirty man who
never scratches, but votes a straight
ticket, hope to have his wishes or
prejudices regarded. Neither the
"great unwashed" nor "the party of
morality antd Ideas" is to decide who
shall be nominated. but the Independ
cut voter is to be placated. The
doubtful States, Ohio and New York,
sit, back upon their easy dignity and
say upon what terms they will help to
elect the nomiliec-if he is their Soil.
The fact that these tro great States
inust be satisfied is a bigaboo to both
parties. No manul is so ulpopuhir iI
the abstract as I he Ohio malt ; no State
so feared by Democrats and Republi.
cans as New York. Yet (lie national
lieling of hate andttl jealousy minist re
press itself in Cineinniti n'nd Chicago,
and totally disregarding the great mass
of tltpeople, uoiniuate men Accepta
ble to the Buckeyes and Linperors.
Consequently, in looking for the
Would-be Presidents, We can't help
seeing the two American icebergs-to
cat ch floating votes probably--Tilden
and Slier .an. Perhaps, excepting
Conkling, no two men are miore tin
popular. They are living comimenta
ries upon the rapidly vanishing idea
that personal Iolulal ity-a graciImus
lanner, wiiniu ways, aud a caiaci
ty to be ha.1.; follow well met-are
necessary to success in publilic life.
The mnoei who are most powerful in
political aflitirs have their- force in
and of themnselves, and rule I spite of
public opinion, and not by it. This
is not so true of the South as of the
country from Whence came Conkling
Tilden, Cameron, Sherman, Iimbulii
and now Grant, and the result is that
in this contest no one claims that eith
er Sherman or Tilden would be injur
ed by the absence of smiling faces or
winnig ways. It is impossible to
electioneer among forty-five million by
hand-shaking, and herein is one ele
uent of Blatme's weakness. He is du
pending on a hip, hip, and hurrah, to
carry him through, and is let by the
cold wiles and icj ways of Sherman
and Conkliing, in. his own parly ; by
the "bar'l" and wires and orgaitized
Democracy of . .J. T. Besides, there
is a stronger reason than all t.his why
he cannot be President'; MLaine is floin
a State that since
It went, h-1 bent,
For Governor Kent,
has been a Gibraltar of Republican
ism, and the law and order party is in
too bad a fix to nominate a man' from
ia certain, safe and secure State. Alas!
for the plumed knight, he is not from
New York, neither Ohio I
(.G ralit hasn't excited the tremendous
enthuisiaism exp)ected ; the people1 don't
full into line quite as rapidly as ,thie
leaders wanit ; the iloater, above men
tionied, vows andu swearls-prinipally
b.v "DIonnier and Blilzen"'-that he
wvill not vote for a thir'd term ; and
t hose Germans hold the balance of
piower' in Ohio. Then, too, the North
eeni leaders were greatly disappointed
to learn that Grant wasni't as ulnpopu
1lar at the Sotith as they had supposed.
No iIep)ublican niominee hias any show
of success, that who isni't aibiised and1(
villitied by the -Southieni press, anid
thie inidicaitionis for a boomi for Grant,
small though they were, have fright
ened the North luito the support of
Uline anid Sherman.
At the present wvriting Thurman
and1( Bayard ai'e priictically' out of (lie
race; HIancock-hia no shadow of a:
chaunce ;' ienidrick;s is opiposed by the
Tlik(len initerest, and, of 'course, hasn't
(lhe ghost of a show ; D)avid Davis has
r'eceivedl a (death1 blow in the action
of' the Illinois Conivention for Moirri
SOin; Palmer is workinig for TIilden:I
Seymour swears by the ine god1s that
le wouldn't be Pr'hsident to ,save the
ntion or the partyv ; Randall, with his
specs, can1't discern'i aniy si'ens of b)eing
called Your Excellenicy i$i exchange
for his prese-it title of Mr I. Speaker.
D)ark horses Innu snerable speed hi ther
and thither, but all, including Jewet t.
are but the p)laythlings of Uncle Sai
lIly, and as for him, why keepethi lie so
silent- why doesn't he say that lie will
be a candlidate or not? - Of course, the
probabilities aire that lie --will-not
mnany' umen' refuse a position otf the sort
-but. it is hard to think of him as
making a mistake in his own cause,
and lie recognizes that he Is acting for
the best, lBut I heard a maember' of
lie NatiounaIlDemocratic CommIttee
say that lf'Tildein won]d( only speak
say the wvord--explain wvhy- .he kept
peace before the forces of Grant and
prevenltedI war, that an enthuelsi
would be created for him, thiat lie
would deserve the thaniks of the peo
p)le anid get them. ' But lhe sits In
mloodly, dIigif ied; unpopular silence,
anid rethises to say a wordl, and after
all lie has the greatest chaince of beinig
nlomtina(ed at Cincinnati. To offset

Ver'y probably if your correspudent

Governor wanted, aniduponi what
grounds 110 claimed it, he would get
some such answver as this: F?irst, he~ Is
an Ohio man, anid if any) body caii carry
