The midday dinner is undlsturbed, the
horseback ride or the drive to the Park
is uninterrupted, the friends gather a.

and the Governor sleeps ss soundly In
his Gramercy Park home as he would
bad he already gained the White House.
He does not "enthuse" in sympathy
with the earnest assurances Of his frierds,
yet the quiet confidence Of his manner
conveys the impression that no feels as
certain OF his ultimate triumph over the
enemies of his party as he does that he is
rightful,y elected President. There is
no mOcking smile on his face as he re-
fleets that he has carried his own great
State despite the inspired prophecy of
Grant. There Is no pomptious boast.

known TO all the world that he requires
but one electo'a al vote to speed him on
to the goal of his proudest dreams. He
is on the very brink of the Presidency.
1t flames be ore him like gem, yet money
cannot buy it and justice may not yield
it. In the midst of the leaders of his
party he stands and whsn he raises his
voice to counsel it is for moderation and
not to fire a partisan flame. He either
bears in silence or deprecates in word
al bitter threats and fierce political raw
ings. This accomplished, sasacious
politician knows that the men who howl
the loudest, whose malevolcnce is most
aggressive, are seeking to become the
foremost worshipers at the throne, that
they are eager to be made the shining
marke of Presidential favor
TILDEN's FRIENDS
And yet, whilst Tilden is not the man
TO inspire nj atom of sentiment, a feeling
almost akin TO it moves the city OF New
York to-day. 1t is the feeling that is
stirred in every breast when great issues
hang between justice and fraud. And
now as the Tilden star fickers the war
riors who have fought the battles OF the
campaign and the great lights of the
party are gathered al his side. The
massive Gwin, with his snow crowned
head, towers far above the delicate
physique Of Uncle Sammy. The "gold-
en- State" went against him, but it
was through no negligence OF the
veteran Duke and right bravely
did he fight the Tilden battles. Little
Mack" comes in to hear the latest dis
patches. With the memory OF wrongs
that must even yet be fresh in his mind
he can sincerely extend his hand IN sym
patty TO the man who may also become
a party victim. Fernando Wood APP

strikes an attitude of statel Y stiffness, and
behind him comes Maggie" Cox, IN one
of his merry, boyish moods. The TIVE
Sammies stand side by side, but the Con-
gresham who swept his district, is live
lier tar than the man who governs us a
State and aspires to the White
House. Sammy Cox has fallen into
tie way OF going to Congress,
ard like many other bad habits that
grow upon one, he cannot break off
from it now. Ward, who swore off from
Congress, bears down upon the admir-.
ing throng in stately majesty, and beams
benignly upon the Governor, in con-
scious elegance. The grand ~ickhan
stalks across the scene, and Ely quietly
wsnders in, smiling and nervous be

ty and cheertulness that wins him many
friends. Belmont takes Tiden by the
hand, snd not far behind appears the

Sullivan looks in TO give TiIden cheer

Marble waits to take n drive with the
man who was his chosen candidate. The
dignified Herman enters; anon comes the
sharp eyed Barnum, followed by Hewitt,
the great chairman of them all.
