[From the New York Tribune.J
MIR. Tilden Indifferent to Florida.

It is well known that about month and a
half ago the Democratic State Committee of
Florida sent an agent to this city to represent
to Mr.. Tilden the Importance and the possi-
bility of carrying Florida for the Democratic
ticket The delegate was unacquainted with
Gov. Tiden or any of his immediate represen-
tives in the National or State Committee and
requested Democratic lawyer of prominence
who has a room in the same building in which
Mr.. Tilden's headquarters are placed-at No.
SO Liberty street,, introduce him to the Dem
ocratic managers there. The lawyer endeav-
ored to do so during the entire day, but re-
ceived an answer from headquarters that it
was impossible to spare the time to see the
gentleman from Florida. The latter felt re-
buffed but called the next day, and finally had
an interview with some person connected with
the Democratic headquarters at No. SO Liberty
street. He explained to the gentleman the
importance of sending certain documents and
a large amount of funds to Florida claiming
that the state could be carried by an energetic
effort for Mr.. Tilden. 1t is understood that the
reply was given that Mr.. Tilden's managers
(probably including "Duke" Gwinl did not
need the vote of Florida; that it was hope
lessly Republican; that Mr. Tilden was glad
that it was, and hoped that it would go Repub-
licaD, because the cry of a united South was
already doing injury. and that united
South was what Mr.. Tilden deprecated in
this campaign as dangerous to the nation. He
dreaded as much as any patriot could the idea
of there being united South against united
North; that issue had been tried once in this
country, and Mr.. Tilden did not wish to renew
it, 1t was not polite to have united South.
Mr.. Tilden could afford to lose Florida and, it
was added, he could spend his money to better
advantage in Wisconsin, which had ten elect
oral votes while Florida only had four.

The Election Goes to the House.

"My son." said pous father out on South
Hill to his hopeful son, "you did not saw any
wood for the kitchen stove yesterday as told

The Situation.

A day brings little change in the situation.
Republican confidence is increasing, and
Democrats are growing more and more de-
spondent. Florida and South Carolina are
virtually conceded to Hayes, and there is no
doubt in the minds Of we'll informed people
that Louisiana will throw her electoral vote
for the Republican candidate. The Demo.
cratic claim for Louisiana is so absurd that it
is looked upon as a jest rather than serious
ness. In parishes which cast a Republican
majority of thousands two years ago, not a
single Republican vote is now allowed by the
Democratic claimants. Democratic journals
are beginning to concede their defeat, and are
raising the ola cry of fraud to cover their re-
treat.
1t will be some days yet before the official
count is known. Until then the Democrats
will in all probability continue to assert their
prepOSterOuS claim,

THE Southern agents of the Associated

THE Democratic election returns are as
fertile as they are false. They claimed Colo
rado for days after it was certainly known to
be Republican. They have even had tie
cheek to claim Ohio and Illinois. The mani
fest absurdity of such wild pretensions would,
even if there were no other reason, throw
discredit upon their reports from the South.
Their trouble is that they make their reports
TO suit their own purposes and not to suit the

bring no grist to the Democratic mill. This

its members at the spring election. 1t is now
represented by one Republican and two Dem

DR.. CHRISTOPHER DRESSER of London
insists that an artist should be not only gen
tleman and scholar but also poet. In his
closing lecture before the Academy of Fine
Arts, Philadelphia, delivered on Tuesday
night, he said that the most successful artists
had sprung from the humber class, but it
was highly important that artists should be
gentlemen, and that gentility Of manners
should be promoted in art schools. An artist
he added, need not be writer of verses,
but he must understand the poetry of art
Above all, he should have the highest appre-
citation of the intellectual power in art. He
must be able to appreciate the masterpieces
of the ancient Egyptians, the relation of the
lotus and the papyrus to art, the significance
of every new ornament, the principles of
modern science, &c. Those who are making
modest and quiet beginning in industrial
art may well be appalled,.
