THK PRESIDENCY.
TILIJEN AND EATON.
WASHINGTON , February 20. A gen
tleman from Now York , who is in the
confidence of Mr. Tildon , says that ho is
in favor of ox-Senator Eaton , of Connecticut -
nocticut , aa a presidential candidate.
Eaton's name has not been montinned
hitherto , and this is expected to start a
boom for him Ho is now a member of
the house of representatives , having boon
succeeded in the senate by Mr. Hawloy.
Mr. Eaton is nearly seventy years of age ,
but is still vigorous and active. Ho is a
bourbon iu politics and a high tariffman ,
which is 0110 of the reasons given tor
Tilden's suggestion of his candi
dacy. It Eaton cannot bo nominated ,
Tildon would prefer Flower , it is said , as
a man who can unite the two factions of
the democracy in Now York. It is won
derful how much weight the opinion of
the Sigoof Grammnrcy Park carries. The
location of the convention is
in doubt until ho is heard from
and his views in regard to candidates
nro discussed with the greatest interest.
Pat Kelley , the Minnesota member of
the national democratic committee , ar
rived hero to day , after spending some
days in Now York , and he says Mr. Til
don will bo heard from at the mooting
of the committee. Ho does not say hewer
or by whom , but is very emphatic in the
assertion that Tildon will not be candi
date for the presidency , and the fact will
bo made authoritavoly clear. As Mr.
Kelley is a Tilden man and on terms of
intimacy at Grammorcy nark , his words
are entitled to consideration.
1'AYNE HAS NO CITANCE.
The arrival of the members of the state
democratic committee , on their way to
Washington for Friday's meetings ,
changed politics at the hotels during the
past two orthreodays , whore the prevail
ing topic of discussion bears on democrat
ic candidates for the presidential nomina
tion. Conclusions drawn to-night from
the drift of discussion eliminate Senator-
elect Payne for the presidential race.
Chairman Barnum says Payne is too old
to stand the strain of a canvass , and that
the probable changes incident to a demo
cratic administration demanded younger
and moro vigorous candidates. I was
talking last night with a man whoso rela
tions to Payne are so close as to make
his utterances semi-authentic. Ho said
If Payne's name should reach the con
vention , there would follow such an an
nouncement that would then conclu
sively withdraw him from the list of can
didatca. His family look on his senatioral
election as a fitting close of his public
life , and the office of senator is one that
will suit his tastes. They are thoroughly
opposed to his becoming a presidential
candidate , and ho agrees with them thai
the emergency is not such as to justify
him in laying down his lifo for his
party.
I asked my informant how ho regarded
Tildeu. Ho said Tildon was not himself
a candidate , it being impossible for him
to make the canvass in such a debilitated
condition.
McDonald , ho said , was strong in the
northwest , but the party at largo seemed
to him to bo at sea. His personal
preference is ex Governor English , ol
Connecticut , who was right on the war
question and is right on the tariff.
FOSTER'S MISTAKE.
Columbus Special to the Tutor-Ocean.
The attention of the people lias boon
so intently given to the floods during the
past two weeks that little talk of a polit
ical nature has been indulged in. In con
versation with Representative Washburn
of Lorain county , in regard to the politi
cal outlook on the Western Reserve , the
gentleman said : "I am free to admit
that there was general surprise when the
people of my sec ion heard of Charley
Foster's declaring that President Arthur
could not carry Ohio , and that a feel
ing on the reserve still prevailed
against him , because of the assassination
of General Garfield. It is true thai
there was some feeling at the time , bul
BO far aa there being any feeling againsl
Mr. Arthur now , is the merest twaddle.
The most bitter against President Ar
thur , have not one word to say againsl
him now , the people recognize the facl
that men may honestly differ , and be
cause Mr. Arthur sided with Senator
Conkling is not at all strange , and he
certainly had a perfect right to do as he
did. There wore those that wont so far
as to charge the responsibility of the as.
sassinatinn to Arthur and the stalwarts ,
but when the question was put : 'Would
Garfield have been gnilty had Arthur
' been assassinated1 the people saw the
ultor absurdity of such talk. The fact
that President , Arthur carried out the
very work that Garfield had commenced ,
to the very best of his ability has hat
the effect of placing him upon a higher
grade than the country had reason to
expect. He has made no serious mis
takes. He has done his duty in an
open and straightforward manner , and to
his credit bo'it said his wise policy has
strengthened the party iu the state and
nation. There is no longer any tall
talk about half-breeds and stalwarts , am
it is my honest conviction that Presiden
Arthur would receive the full republican
vnto on the ruiorvo should ho bo tin
nominee of the Chicago convention
Yes , Chnrloy Foster tnado an error ,
CUM1IAUK OP INDIANA.
Chlcotro Tribune.
The Hon. William Cumback of Indian
in at the Tromont. Mr. Cumback ho
been a prominent factor in Indiana poli
tics for twenty-five yean , fie defoatoc
Holman for congrers in 1854 , and head
ed the Lincoln electoral ticket in I860
He has been lieutenant governor of th
state and deputy collector of interim
ovonuo for the Fourth district. Speak
ig with n reporter for The Tribune yes
erday. Mr. Cumback said that politics
11 Indiana were nt present in n process
f formation. Public sentiment had not
liapcd itself , The tioniocraU were for
[ cUonald for president , though there
was some doubt whether ho would have
solid delegation. If they thought they
ould compasi his nomination they would
o a unit for him. Ho did not believe
iat McDonald could ho nominated , bo-
auso it was questionable whether ho
ould carry Now York. That state was
ssential to both parties , and nominations
ould have to bo made with a view to
Another thing which would militate
gainst McDonald was his lack of funds ,
very necessary adjunct nowadays to
olitical success. Between thcso two
bj oo tions McDonald was apt to fall.
' 'ho democratic nomination would bo
lade entirely from a Now York stand-
oint. Intno republican party it was
nuch the same. The man who could
old out a prospect of capturing the largo
Icctoral vote of the Empire state would
o the man. This would bo the weak-
ess of both Arthur and Logan. Logan
ad no strength in the east worth speak-
ig about , and ho had no money. Ar-
mrould find his opposition in his own
tato. Ho had just coma from Now
"ork , and in Utica , Syracuse and several
thor towns ho had heard influential pol-
, iciaus say that Aothur would not bo
bio to control the vote of Now York in
10 convention. If ho did , it would bo
y methods which would insure his
of oat at the election. Indeed , it was
nrtain that there would bo a powerful
obby at the Chicago convention from
ow York whoso main purpose would belie
lie prevention of Arthur's nomination.
The best men in oiijht were either Son-
tor Edmunds or Ben Harrison. Both
voro strong , honest , and not identified
with factions , yet had always been con-
latent republicans.
Ho had heard some talk of General
jlierman , but did not attach any impor-
anco to it , nor did ho believe General
Sherman would really bo a strong nom-
nation. It would bo like Hancock's
tomination , or a bottle of champagne
all phiz and enthusiasm for the first few
weeks , but would Boon filter out. The
ight in Indiana was going to bo close
and doubtful. Logan and Arthur both
lad strength , but he did not think either
would control. Unfortunately for the
> resident , the distribution of federal
> atronaeo would injure hi chances.
Svery thing had been given to Indtauapp-
is , and this had caused mush feeling in
ho rest of the state. This fact would
, lso affect the nomination for governor.
lonoral Straight was very popular , but
10 lived in Indianapolis , and there was a
disposition not to give that city anything
) ocauso it had too much already. Con
gressman Calkins stood the best chance.
. 'ension Commissioner Dudley could
trobably have the nomination if ho
ranted it , but ho did not.
The democratic nominee would proba

PAN SICKLES ON LOflAN.
Gen. Sickles , a life-long democrat , is
quoted by The Waahington Capital as
jeing in favor of Logan for president ,
and among other qualifications ho says :
"After nearly twenty years of public ser
vice since the war no one has ever show n
; hat ho has used his place or influence
: or the acquisition of wealth. " It may bo
itrictly true that Gen. Logan has not lot
tiis ambition run in the same direction
that Mr. Blaine or Mr. Sherman have
followed. But , while ho has not ac
cumulated much money , ho has done tolerably
erably well by his family , and has had ,
From time to time , a goodly number
quartered on the government , where
they have drawn remunerative salaries
for the smallest amount of service. The
list is a fair one :
Cyrus Thomas , the entomologist , has
for a long time hold atato and other
offices. Ho is brother-in-law of thosena
tor's wife.
John M. Cunningham , his father-in-
law , postmostpr.

; hat while G0n. Logan has not amassed
money ho has had an eye k > the main
chance so far as providing for his rela
tives is concerned.
It may serve to show why General
Sickles has so suddenly boon converted
from a democrat to a Logan boomer to
iay that his petition for an important
federal ofllco in Philadelphia has jusl
been rejected , and of course "he's agin'
the administration.

DEMOCRATIC ) NATIONAL CONVENTION.
WASHINGTON , D. 0. , February 22.
The democratic national committee has
just decided upon going into suasion for
the purpose of selecting the time and
place of holding the national convention.
There is a strong fooling against admit
ting reporters , and unless this it overcome
the report of the proceedings will bo late
and fragmentary. Chicago people arc most
confident nnd make the unqualified state
ment that the convention will go to that
cil\ They will not admit that there is
doubt of this. The St. Louis delegation
is moro quiet , but confident they will se
cure the pripo. Some of them claim seven
teen votes on the first ballot.
Now Yorkmonboliovo if they had a good
working delegation hero the convention
could bo secured for Saratoga. Ono ar
gument that the St. Louis delegates are
using against Chicago is that it would bo
unwise for democrats to take their con
vention and consequently their money
into a state which will without doubt gofer
for a republican candidate for president.
There is no doubt that the general talk
about the Arlington this morning favors
Chicago and that there is moro buhovors
than dissenters in the opinion that both
conventions will bo hold in that city.
The democratic national committee met
shortly afternoon to-day at the Arlington
hotel. The mooting was conducted with
closed doors. When the committee had
boon called to order the proposition to
admit to the next convention delegates
from territories was considered and it was
resolved that each territory bo advised to
send two delegates to the conven
tion , the question of admission to
bo determined by the convention
The question cf proper date for holding
the convention was then taken up and u
wide diversity of opinion on the subject
was developed , the members favoring
dates from the latter part of May to Au
gust Cth. By a vote ot twenty-one to
seventeen , the committee rejected a
motion to hold the convention May 21st
and the proposition to select Tuesday ,
June 24th , was agreed , itstwenty-threo to
fifteen.
AT OniOACO JULY 8.
WASIIINOTON , February 22. The delegations -
gations this afternoon spoke in support
of the claims of various cities as the
place for holding the convention F1 X
Ward advocated Baltimore , Judge Fol-
lett , Cincinnati ; Carter Harrison , Chicago
cage ; Willis , Louisville ; Yost , St. Louis ,
and Adams , Saratoga. The first ballot
was taken at 1:30 , and resulted as fol
lows : Chicago 15 , St. Louis 14 , Saratoga
5 , Louisville 3 , Cincinnati 1 , Baltimore
none. Louisville was withdrawn and the
second ballot resulted as follows : Chicago
cage 21 , St. Louis 17 , Saratoga 3. On
the third ballot Chicago won , the vnto
being Chicago 21 , St. Louis 17. The
committee then reconsidered the vnto by
which Juno 24 was fixed ai the time for
holding the convention and agreed upon
July 8th next.
The following call was presented by
the executive committee , and was agreed
upon :
The national democratic committee ,
having met in the city of Washington on
the 22d of February , 1881 , has appointed
Tuesday , the 8th day of July next , at
noon , as the time , nnd chooses the city of
Chicago as the place for holding the
national democratic convention. Each
state is entitled to representation therein
equal to donblo the number of its sena
tors and representatives in the congress
of the United States. Democrats of
each organized territory and the District
of Columbia are invited to send two del
egates , subject to the decision of the con
vention as to their admission. All demo
cratic citizens of the Unit oil States , irre
spective of past politnal associations and
differences , who can unite with us iu an
effort for a pure , economical and consti
tutional government , are cordially in
vited to join in sending delegates to the
convention.

LONDON , February 22. The Times article -

last Bismarck has obtained an opportuni
ty to show his dislike for n country
which annually robi him of thousands of
conscripts. Congress was illadvisod in
sending the resolution ; Bismarck was in-
gracious in returning it. _ G ran ting , how
ever , that Bismarck was tight in refusing
the praise of Dorr Laskor , his organs are
wrong in reviling Minister Sargont. The
latter was only obeying his government.
This is no reason why ha should bo held
up , in defiance of international law , to
the contempt of the Gorman people. It is
said that Sargont is hardly careful
enough of the forms ' and ccremonii'a
to please the court so formal as Berlin ,
but a worse moment to try and induce
him to resign could hardly have boon
chosen than the present when his resig
nation would still further strain the rela
tions of the two countries which ought to
bo on excellent terms.

UNIONTOWN , Ta. , February 22. The
funeral of the victims of the explosion at
West Loisonring took place this morn
ing. A special train ran out to the shaft
from Uniontown , and returned with the
bodies and friends at 0 o'clock. Four
cars were filled with relatives of the
dead , and the scene was sad in the ex
treme. Throe of the victims were in
terred hero , six at Dunbar , seven at Con-
nellsvillo , and two have boon sent to
Washington , D. 0. Largo crowds as
sembled at cach placo. There was no-
pecial service. Among the miners a
revulsion of sentiment has taken place
during the last twenty-four hours , and.
talk of the explosion being caused by
negligence is now widespread. Fooling
is very bitter , and one miner has retain
ed an attornny to attend the inquest to
morrow and exact the truth from wit-
nes ea concerning the condition of the
shaft. Some minors are willing to affirm
that the air has boon bad for a week
back , nnd that they could network
work without complete exhaustion. A
minor named Dufly , who worked in room
0right in the midst of the place shattered
by the explosion , refused to work on the
morning of the disaster because , he said ,
no man could live in the placo. A com
mittee of inquiry , composed of the
alllictod families , has boon organised to
gathorinformation fur the coroner's jury.
A young man named Diii an , who had
several relatives killed uy the explosion ,
claims to have discovered evidence to the
effect that the accident was chiefly caused
by boarding up the uir shaft at night by
carpenters , who were making repairs.
The shaft was closed to prevent people
falling in , and the gaa which accumulated
at night was moro than could bo driven
out in a day. Meanwhile the company
are sparing no expense to bury the dead
and to relieve the suffering and aiilictcd.
Wtii. Pegg , one of iho men employed
at Loisonnng , nmdo a statement to-night
that the mine inspector never appointed
a file buss for the shaft , and the ventila
tion in the heading where the explosion
occurred was very bad.
