GOOD MORNING, Mg. TELDEN."
A short Chat in broadway with the Demo-
cratic President Eject.

IN. Y. Herald
Quietly and unobtrusively among the throng
walked the late Democratic candidate for
President of the United States, Samuel J.
Tilden. He was joStled at and trod upon
walking slowly as he did-by the more ener-
getic mass of Young America that moved on
ward round and about him and-that did not
know him. Dressed in very ordinary blue
chinchilla overcoat, albeit he wore Partisan
hat, the brim being considerably more curled
than the New York fall styles of the season
allows he was the most unobserved of all that
trotted along the pavement of the east side
OF Broadway. He certainly would have re-
manned unobserved but for the accidental re-
cognition on the part of gentleman who had
known the Ex-Governor of the State of New
York during his temporary residence in
Albany. With an eye always to the windward
the Ex-Governor was not in the least aston
ished when addressed by this gentleman, and
at once entered into @ spirited conversation
with him, commencing with the inquiry
Governor, how do you feel?'
Never felt better in my life responded
Mr.. Iilden. His appearance indicated that
he was in the best of health and spirits, and
he was communicative in an unusual degree
What do you think, Governor" continued
his interlocutor, ."'of the policy President
Hayes is pursuing ?"
Il think he is chilling the fanaticism in the
Republican party"
''|Iss he breaking up the party in your
opinion?"
He will have no party very soon," replied
Mr.. Tilden; she will in three years from now
have no more support than corporal's
guard"
"Then you think Gov Tilden, that he will
ALLEVIATE from his support both Democrats
and Republicans
81 think 50. The South appears to be dis
posed to pat him on the back and urge him
forward in his work of reconciliation, but will
they stand by him?'
What do you suppose they will do, Gov
ernorY'
''Wel, 1 suppose they will do as they al
ways did, support none but true blooded
Democrat that will represent Them
Then you think that these ovations to
President Hayes in the different Southern
States were assumed for purpose? Were
insincere, in fact p
''It was all humbug," replied Mr.. Tilden.
with emphasis. "It can be that these South
ern Democrats will accept an Administration
which they know is founded on fraud, and
which is Republican in spite of everything"
''But they do accept it, Mr.. Tilden.''
Eyes, they do accept it, but you know the
present Administration Is, is falling to pieces
and where it will end heaven only knows"
the presidential chair?'
Certainly, | do answered Mr.. Tilden
sspiritedly. The country knows that was
legally elected President, and this American
glarin1g and paramount fact On that fact the
very foundations OF the republic rest. If the
voice of the nation be not realized in the Sc
rIous question OF electing its supreme ruler
then you may calculate on bitterness of feel
ing that will not be assuaged until the wrong
is righted. The people who supported me
feel to-day that their votes were given in VAN
They feel that they might as well have cast
their suifrages for dummy, and they num-
Der so large portion of the population of
the Whole country that it is an unwise expert
ment to trifle with their rights. AS far as I
am concerned it is Of little consequence, but [
tell you one OF the gravest principles in rep
resentative government is involved, and if the
people do not see to it the matter will be
subject for deep regret to coming genera
tions.''
"What do you think of the action of the
Senate in the case of the Southern Senator's"
We'll, as | said before, the Administration
and the Republican party are going to pieces.
Mr.. Hayes has no color and the Republican
party has no policy"
"You appear, Governor, to feel distrust
OF the Southern support OF Hayes?"
"Humbug," responded the Governor, SEN
tentiously, you can't mix oil and water"
and then he looked around, saw what aston
ished him and walked briskly off, entered
