COUNT-The prominence which the cipher tel
III,
nephew. by marriage, of Gov Samuel J. Tilden.
will recall the career OF this young man when
located here pending the electoral count for

elegant suite OF first floor rooms at the Arling-
ton. and was surrounded by crowd OF poll
t1clanS, among whom were Charley WOOrley
Johnny COyle and john f. Tracy, OF New York
as his lleutenants. Every night he sent Spe-
cial messenger from this city with written re-
port to Gramercy park, cipher kilograms not

the floor OF the House, and discussed with men,
belS the struggle for the Presidency and Til
denS chances, while the House was in session.

farmers, the mechanics and laboring men. An
impression among these classes has been de
cidely made that Gen. Butler is the friend of the
and that the issue Is not between
parties but between the blue blood element of
the state and the yeomanry.
Mr.. T.. Hudson. the Washington corresDond-
ent OF the Boston Herald, On the other hand
