PETER COOPER NOT TO WITHDRAW.
Peter Cooper was somewhat surprised at
the result OF the St. Louis Convention. He
believed that Governor Tilden could carry
New York, but felt that the financial issue
had been little better dealt with at st. Louis
than at Cincinnati. He had hoped to avoid
entering this presidential contest under the
expectation that o compromise financial
platform would be adopted by one OF the
two parties, but he had been disappointed.
In reply to question as to whether or not
he would enter the contest as q candidate
upon the nomination he had received, Mr..
Cooper said he could not withdraw.-N
