NEW YORK.
Mr.. Tilden Sails for EurOpe-Bryants
Twaddle Concerning the Fallen Boss.

Tilden, accompanied by Secretary Of
State John Bigelow, sailed for Europe
to-day by the scythia. At Mr.. Tilden's
request there were no formal demonstra.
tions of parties down the Bay; but
simply a gathering of few friends,
handshakings and good wishes.
Mr.. Tilden arrived at the Cunard
Dock soon after nine o'clock, accompa.
MED by his sister, Mrs. Pelton, and Col
onel Pelton, with his wife and daughter,
and proceeded to the upper deck, where
a number of friends had already gath
cred. Soon after, Mr.. and Mrs. Bigelow
arrived. The latter, however, only came
to see her husband of, and returned in
the evening to Long Island,
Mr.. Tilden was looking remarkably
we'll, and conversed with more than
usual animation with numerous friends,
who crowded around his corner on deck.
He was dressed in a light business suit.
One of the party presented him with a
large rose, which was fastened in the
button-hole of his coat by Mrs. Pelton.
A bevy of reporters sought interviews
with him, but to all he gave the same
reply, that he did not wish to talk on
political matters.
In reference to the talk with him at
Seagirt, published in the World on Mon
day, he laughed good-humoredly at the
excitement caused by the misapprehen-
sion of one or two words which he then
said about the drift of New York Demo.
cratic sentiment toward completely
new State ticket this fall. His only
interest in the matter, he said,
consisted in his unwillingness to have it
he believed any such drift to
exist with regard, for example, to the
present Controller of the State, who was
appointed at the beginning of the cur
rent year. His position as to the Elec-
toral Commission, he said, had been
presented. He had never
wavered in his judgment as to the mis-
take made in constituting that Commits
sion, and he said, "I think everybody
must now agree with me that its practical
workings showed the truth of the old
saying, How much better it is to have
The Court than to have the law. )" In
reference to the Louisiana Returning
Board indictments, he denied emphatic
v assertions that have been made that
le was at the bottom of these prosecu-
ions. He believed that if no outside in
luence should be brought to bear there
would be fair trial of the accused, and
ustiCe would take its course He placed
10 faith in any of the numerous stories
# a division of the Democracy in the
southern States by the Southern policy
# Mr.. Hayes. They have endured
wrong, he said, and they will not be in
luced to forsake their standard now.
AS to the Republican party, he believed
hat from the natural course of events it
vas destined to defeat and disaster.
Mr., Tilden was not certain whether he
1ould return in time to take any part in
he fall campaign. He did not expect to
eturn until some time in October, and
light, he said, remain abroad until
)nger. He had not decided upon any
rogramme of his own, but intends to 20
here he can get rest and recreation. He
lay spend his time in England, Ireland,
r Scotland, or he may 90 to France and
Wherever he goes, he
ill travel by easy stages, keeping aloof
'om all publicity, and revisiting places
broad that he has found pleasant in
'rmer journeys.
Among those present to see Mr.. Tilden
e were Mayor Ely, Ex-Comptroller
reen, David Dudley Field, and others.
