RUMoRs OF ANOTHER MOVE IN THE
PRESIDENTIAL GAME-DUDLEY
FIELD AGAIN TO THE FRONT
THEsTILL HUNT OF Mr.. TIL
DEN FOR THE NEXT
NOMINATION..
WASHINGTON, April 2.
From the N. Y. Herald.
There is frightful rumor here this
evening, that Mr.. Dudley Field is about
to reappear in the Capitol of his country
int few days. armed with a prodigious
bill to try the title to the Presidency.
The Montgomery Blair movement in
Maryland has always been considered
here by the leading democrats as a mere
device TO keep alive Mr.. Tilden's claims
for the nomination in 1SS0-a kind of
perpetual exhibition of Mr.. Tilden's sore
toe-and Mr.. Field, who will come, if
he comes at all, as another representa-
tive of Mr.. 1llden's claims, will have 10
turn back to his republican friends for
aid and comfort, for he will get very lit
tie among the democrats. There are
two dozen democrats ia both houses who
will be concerned i'll an attempt to re-
open The Presidential question. The
whole movement is Isgarded here on the
democI alIc Side as Tllden device, which
has not the least hope or intention of
getting him into the White House dur
lag The present term, but very distinct
purpose Uf securing him the nomination
III 1850.
There are, however, prominent re-
pubhcans ~ho encourage privately all
such deronstrations. They would like
to get MIR. Hayes opt. if possible, at any
expense To the country, aud they see that
50 long as the movement can bo kept In
democratic hands IL will whether il sue
ceeus or fails, damage the democratic
party IN the country as the party favor
lug disorganization. Senator Pinckney
Whyte, OF Maryland, is reported as say
Ing to-day, concerning the passage of the
Montgomery Blair resolutions by the
Maryland Legislature, that it was unfor-
tunate. He regretted that his State
should be made means of keeping Mr.
1lIuen's name before the American peo-
pie as an injured man. The action of the
Legislature was unexpected by him, and
he believes it has no sympathy of sup
port among the people of his State.
Inc uemocraJlc party has mum Der of
members whose friends think them ehgi-
BILE for the nomi nation in 1880. All these
are utterly opposed to any movement
such as Messrs. Blair and Field have in
hand, because they all comprehend tnat
II means only an attempt To peruetuate
Mr. Tilden's claims to tine nomination. If
MIR. Field comes here he Will, therefore,
get the cold shoulder from the demo-
cratic side, and will have to do what at
the last session he was asked to do-go
back to the republicans. How consId-
cradle an open support from the republi-
cans his bill would get 1t is not now easy
to tell, but there Is not the least reason to
believe that any bili reopening the Presi-
DENTAL contest will get sufficient support
IN either House To become law. The
report here that Mr.. Tilden is planning
TO he made Governor of New York IN
1879 Is held to confirm the general belief
that the Blair movement is sham
though it ought to be said for MIR. Blair
himself that he is undoubtedly In earnest
He thinks the country will be utterly
luined unless Mr.. Hayes is put out and
Mr. Illden Is put into his place. Some
or Illden's friends here, however, say
that ne Is not of one mind on this subject
with Dir. Blair, but thinks it better to
wait unUlI 1880
