TILDEN AND PENNSYLVANIA.

PLAN TO sEcURB THIS STATE FOR THE
Ex-oovgRNoR IN 1880.
A special from Washington to the New
York "Tribune" is as follows:
A prominent Democratic politician Of
Pennsylvania, who has heen In Washing O.
tou for several days in close conference
with the managers Of his party, reports
that Mr.. Tilden is actively engaged In
Carrying out plans to secure the next
Democratic nomination for the Presidency
According to this gentleman, Mr.. Tilden
ia convinced that he cannot secure the
solid support of the Gulf States, and is
therefore directing his attention at pre- sen t
- Pennsylvania. In this be is said to
have the secret aid of Speaker Randall
and W. L. Scott, Of Erie. Mr.. Scott will
hs recollected as having been instrumental
In company with Senator Barnum, in Sc.
curing Mr. Tilden's nomination in 1875.
He has started a paper in Erie in futher-
ance Of this project, it is reported, and the
support of Pittsburg paper has also been
secured. The effort seems to be to hold
Senator Wallace reponsible for the defeat
OF the Democrats in Penn,ylvania, in
order to break his influence In the party.
The new combination is merely con-
1lnnance of the internal struggles of the
Democracy of Pennsylvania, begun at
Erie in 1875 and renewed at Pittsburg in
1873. Mr.. Wallace is determined in Lis
opposition 10 Mr.. Tilden, and in order to
AIRY out the new combination effectively
