TILDEN TO BE THE NOMINEE
Mr.. AckIeD Thfnks that lie Will
H. the Candidate In Spite Of the
Ill.WilI OF the south.
Ry tslevraph In the Tribune

By telegraph to the Tribune
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Representa-
tive Acklen, of Louisiana, is now in
Washington. In conversation with a
reporter of the "Evening STAR" he is
reported as having said "The major
ity of the people of my State and of the
South have no use for Tildrn. That is,
they don't like him, and would prefer
any other candidate who could win.
A great many, though notwithstand
ing their dislike, look upon the matter
as mere mathematical problem. The
nominee of the National Democratic
Convention is sure of l3S votes from
the South. We look upon Indiana as
a safe Democratic State, which adds ID
votes to the 13S, making it 1853 in al.
Now, what do We want! We want New
York do we not?N. Y.'s vote makes lsS
electoral votes of the Electoral College,
three more than are necessary to elect.
Now who can get them My answer il
Samuel J. Tilden. 1t is hoped that
Ti.den of all others named will be able
to carry New York. Hence he will
probably be the nominee"
''If Tilden should lose New York, how
then," asked the reporter.
IL still think he will be the nomi-
nee. You will find that Tilden will 60
to the nominating convention with
the New York delegation at his back.
He is now at work securing the dele
gates which will be sent from Repub-
lcan States. My opinion is that he will
90 into the convention withenough votes
to nominate on the first ballot, if in
deed not quite enough. Tilden is fight
ing Tammany this year, not 50 much
that he has hopes that he can elect
Robinson, but that he can retain his
hold on the machine organization, which
he now has, and is not ready to sur
render to Tammany."
TO the question whether the Demo-
orats of Louisiana would urge the un-
seating of Senator Kellogg, Mr.. Acklen
said 'The Democrats are unanimous
that he ought to be unseated. Still,
do not think anything will be done
until after the Presidential election.
think after that Kellogg will have to
90, and that the Senate will not seat
Spofford but will simply declare the
seat vacant. In that case, Governor
Wilt will appoint Senator for the
unexpired term. We have now pro.
vided for biennial sessions Of the L.gis-
lature, and if Kellogg is turned out in
1881 there will be no session until his
term would have expired. Hence Gov
ernor Wilt would make the appoint
ment."

all the others to save their lives. She
was as kind to them as mother, and
their parting was very touching. Jack IS

Agent Meeker was killed by Antelope

Mrs. Meeker was shot at while run

in the sage brush. The ball passed
through her dress and made a slight
flesh wound in her thigh about four
inches long. Arrangements for fight
with Merritt's command was most COM

timely arrival of Ouray's order to cease
fighting, the name of Merritt and his
command would have passed into his.

to answer charge of obstruc.ing the

nuisance preferred by Joseph K.Stockle.
Officer McClain was!ths first witness, ,ex.
amined; he testified that ON Monday
afternoon last complaint was made at
the office and he was sent down to in
vestigate he found; that the workman
OF Mr.. johnson were removing the grav-
ell and felt roof from Capelle building
on King street between Second and
Third; they were using shovels, and
according to the officers testimony the
dust they were kicking up was horri-
BILE in the superlative degree, in fact
the officer said that in all his variegated
experience he had never-(no Pinafore)
seen anything like it. He had climbed
in between the dus. cloud and ordered
the workmen to desist but, horrible to
relate, they treated him, the represen-
tative and guardian OF the interests
of the citizens of Wilmington with con
tempt.
Jos. X. Stoeckle, Mrs. Stoeckle Bern
hard, and Henry Rowe all testified to the
bad condition of affairs while the work
was going on. The last named witness
who resides over variety store next

right on"

work done at the Capells Building
was done in the usual manner; they
had TAX en- the usual precautions, and
after the work was done they had clean
