twenty Of whom might give him q complimentary
vote and twenty-five who would NOT support him
undor any conditions. This thought an extrava-
CANT statement the time. but when repeated to-day
nobody who heard IL thought Of contradicting it.
The supporters Of Mr.. Tildsn do mot, however, give
up all nope. They imagine there win be = turn OF the
tide and say that Now York will have furnish the
money for election expenses and will furnish
more for . New York candidate than for any
other. They say, too, that tho Ohio movement
will need to be faced down by strong man. that

10 make rule authorizing the Committee Banking
