THE CONDITIONS OF WHICH HIS PAPER
WILL TAKE TILDEN.
(From the Westliche Post.)
OF all the local journals, the Uetliche
Post Is the only one which cifectually
supports Tilden. This may seem 10
many somewhat bold assertion, but it
is none the less true and easy to prove.
- We announced yes
terday, plainly and freely, under what
condition we would support him. These
conditions, we admit, are somewhat
strong, but as friends of Tilden, we are
obliged To make them so. II this man
is TO be elected he must have the
votes of all the independent voters.
These he cannot receive unless he clearly
and beyond peradvcnture comes forward
as reform candidate. For this reason
the platform upon which he is placed
must be platform Of decided reform aud
hard money.
He is accordingly Tilden's best friend
who wishes him nominated under the
most favorable auspices, who does not
want him used merely rs sign, but who
desires him TO be put forward as a true
rcformer-One in short who wishes to
carry him to victory with all honor and
in the best company. This, however. we
of the local journals alone desire.

A. The Southern.

SCENES ALMOST BATTLING DESCRIPTION.
The scene at the Southern yesterday
was one that defies description. The inn
mense house was crowded throughout
the day by delegates, visitors and local
politicians, who thronged the corridors
and filled the various State headquarters
on the main and second floors, discuss
ing excltedly the Tilden or Hendricks
register in the political temperature.
Arrivals by the morning trains from
the East, West and South were so nu-
merous that it was well nigh noon be-
fore the guesls were all assigned to their
respective apartments. The resources OF
the mammoth establishment were taxed
10 the utmost degree in furnishing the de-
sired accommodation, and it may be safe
ly asserted that on no previous occa-
sion has the house been called upon 10
receive so many visitors within its por-
tails. Political iervor and excitement im.
pregnated the atmosphere, imparting
anything but Sabbath quietude
and during the day there were
many lively discussions in the rotunda
attracting hundreds of partisans. Mem
beers of the Tammany party congregatet
in the afternoon, anxiously seeking Til
den adherents with view to opening thu
argument valves and emitting gas ad
versely to his interests. Some hundred
or more of this clique had arrived in In,
city during the morning and were wei
distributed around the hotels Rettinl
their work in assiduously. OF Yours
crowds were attracted by anythl1 sse. n
