Special Dt&pa&oh to The Tribune
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 19.-1t is very e'1-
dent that the Tilden managers have by no
means abandoned their intention OF attempt
ing to secure some legislation which will make
it possible for Tldcn to trJ the title to the
Presidency at an early day. Occasionally some
>of those who are near to Tlden mystcEiously
hint that plan is being considered which IS
likely to accomplish their purposes. 1t IS
certain that those who make these state
ments have faith in them, and It. Is
quite as certain that no scheme which can be &c
yised will ever become a law. As part OF thls
law it appears that Pelton, in the name Oh MS
uncle, since the extra session WIS postponed mas
acoin undertaken to provide some means by
which fo1y David Dudley Field eau be returned
to Congress. It is said that, as means t. pre-
mote this plan iu Congress, an alliance between
the Tildentcs and the Republican implacables
has been suggested.

news, have started sensational story that Gar
