Governor Tilden's Movements.

Governor Tilden spent the forenoon of
yesterday at his house on Gramercy
square. He received few visitors, because
he was tired, and when he got through
with lunch he took turn around to the
Democratic headquarters at the Everett
House. It was there the Herald reporter
met the Governor in the midst of an
eager gathering of Democratic notabili-
ties. "They have given me-" said the
Governor, "a pretty large popular major
ity, something over a quarter of mil
Governor Tilden was dressed in suit
of dark clothes and wore silk hat. He
never seemed to the writer in finer health
and spirits. Much conversation was 60
ing on around the room.
"I'll tell you what / think" said Major
J. Haggerty to Judge Morris, of Brook.
lyn: "There is one man in the United
States Senate belonging to the Republi-
can party who will not consent to this
outrage of counting in Louisiana, and
that man is Senator Conkling. He
stands" exclaimed the Major, eloquent
with the subject, son the mountain tops,
above the mists and fogs of party, and he
views the situation from a patriots stand
point"
a great deal but if the Republicans mean
to count us out by fraud I don't think we
can stand it." Judge Morris was counsel
for Moulton and Tilton in the Beecher
trial.
THE GOVERNORS VIEW.
"Well," said Governor Tilden, speak
ing to the Herald man, "the fiery zealots
of the Republican party may attempt to
count me out, but don't think the bet
ter class of Republicans will permit it.
It would be bad precedent to set"
Colonel Pelton the Governors nephew,
was busy receiving visitors. Senator
Randolph, of New Jersey, came in and
said, "South Carolina has gone Demo
cratic, but (this with bitter frown) they
will count us out if they can" Mr.. AL
gernon Sullivan strobe in also, and asked
for the news from Colonel Pelton. The
Colonel had nothing more to give than
what the Telegram brought up, but Mr..
Sullivan said he thought the Returning
Board in New Orleans was bent on
fraud.
Governor Tilden kept his seat in front
of the Everett House, outside of which a
great crowd of people had collected star
ing wildly into the hotel.
"It is strange" said the Governor, Chow
get misrepresented. I come across in
terviews supposed to take place with me
that really never occurred. There, for
instance, is one this morning in which /
am made to say that l believe that that
paper mentioning certain journal is the
greatest paper in America, and that my
election is attributable to it. That inter-
view never took place"
Governor Tilden said, resuming the con-
versation, in earnest accents, 81 do not
think, considering that I have received
such a considerable popular majority
vote, that the Republican party will at
tempt to perpetrate fraud"
Smith Weed, of Clinton, said: 1T is
very close, but we have carried the Union
honestly, and that is the whole thing in
nutshell-we have carried it honestly"
Mr.. August Belmont, Mr.. Edward
Cooper, son of Mr.. Peter Cooper, and
General George B. Mcclellan dropped in
and departed after few minutes stay.
GOV. TILDEN AGAIN.
II am not apprehensive of the result"
continued Governor Tilden in his talk
with the Herald reporter. "The popular
majority must have its effect in the way
of counteracting any attempt at upsetting
the honest results of the election. Be
satisfied with the reflection that the peo-
pie are too patriotic, too intelligent, too
selfpoised to allow anything perilous to
be done-anything that may disturb or
destroy our peculiar form of government.
Don't be alarmed"
Later on the Herald reporter called at
the Governors residence in Gramercy
Park. There was no crowd in front Of
the dwelling as on the night of the cleo
ton and the one subsequent thereto. The
Governor sat in the back parlor, and
Clarkson N. Potter, Abram S. Hewett
and other prominent and active men in
the Democratic ranks called upon him.
He was in excellent spirits and confident
that the upshot would make the Demo
cratic party victorious.
The night previous the Governor was
up till midnight. Then went to bed,
and "I slept like top" said he. His
appearance indicated that, unlike the
rest of the politicians who had called to
see him, his mind was easy. Tonight"
said he, ri shall retire ct twelve, and no
returns shall come between me and
Sleep" and as he spoke these words he
smiled.-HeraM Of Nov. II.
