Senator Mn as Peacemaker Between III
den and Tammany-A Little Talk Of
Citizen Foster-Mr. 8urch
Names Hancock and
Hendricks.

NEw YORx, October Ex-senator Hill,
OF Georgia, is in town, and he has the
credit OF being on a peace-makingexpedi-
ton to heal the troubles between Hlden
and Tammany. He refuses to say any
thing about it, but the Kelly men say
that Kelly was approached by him to-
day, and that the Tammany Chief
bluffed the Senator of. Kelly is re-
ported to have said that he went into
the fight TO beat Hlden, and now that
success was sure he saw no reason
for making peace. 1t is said by the
Kelly men that there can Dc no possible
doubt of the object of Hills visit; also,
that Abram 5. Hewitt has had big
finger in the PIE in bringing about the
negotiations. On the other hand, 1t Is
said that there can be no truce between
these folks, for the reason that Tam
many and the Republicans lave already
made a bargain to work together to de-
feat Robinson.
There is great activity in political cir
cles as the last two weeks of the canvass
are entered upon. Both sides are work
Ing like beavers. Mr.. Hlden has taken
charge of the Robinson campaign al
most in person, and is practicing the
same methods that were so successful IN
1874 and 1876. IL is not the torchlight,
spread-eagle style, but Is real work,
that embraces the finding ont OF who
are the men likely TO be IN
fiuenced by sound arguments, the indie
pendent voters, and then sending them
documents. He SAYS that speech-making
and gnnpOwder 20 for nothing. The
Republicans, however, are sending
speakers into every School District.
Goyernor-elect Charles Foster, OF
Ohio, received the congratulations of his
numerous political friends at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel to-day over the victory
achieved in the Buckeye State. Mr..
Foster said he had no doubt OF the sue
cess OF the Republicans in Ohio IN 1880.
He thought the Ohio victory had ma
terially strengthened Secretary Sher-
mans chances for the Presidency. He
added that the labOrs of Mr.. Blaine in
Ohio bad been of great service 10 the
Republican pgrty and would be appre-
ciated. Mr.. Foster is to speak in this
city on Friday evening.
Colonel John C.. Burch, Secretary of
the United States Senate, and proprie.
tor of the Nashville AB'erlcGn, was asked
if he thought Governor Hlden was ahead
in the race for the Presidential nOmlna-
tion next year.
81 don't think he is, said Mr.. Burch.
alt appars 10 me that Hancock and Hen
dricks are in the lead. Hancock comes
from strong and doubtful State, Penn
sylvania. Hendricks has always been
strong with Western and Southern peO-
pie. Tennessee is for Hendricks, in my
opinion. Ii was not only for him in
1876, but in 1872. After Greeley died
the electoral vote east was cast for Hen
dricks"
The Graphic this evening has this;
"a leading Democratic politician, who
Processes not 10 like TO see his name IN
print. said in a decided manner, in the
81. James Hotel this morning, that
Samuel J. Tilden was by no means de-
pressed by the result ol the recent cleo
ton in Ohio. Mr.. Tilden. said this
ardent Democrat, Didn't care d-n
whether Ohio went Republican or not.
He feared both Ewing and Thurman rs
Presidential aspirants. The Ewings
and Thurmans and their crowd did all
they could % defeat Tilden, and then
they sent To Tilden for money. He
sent word back that they had done
their bess to defeat him before the Con-
ventlon met, and they could do their
worst aiterward He asked no favOrs.
i saw Tilden last night, and he is conf
dent that they will win. lie says Kelly
can not get over $4,000 votes IN the
whole State, and that Robinson will
have tair majority over both Cornell
and Kelly"
Bayard and Mcdonald.
In pursuance Of not only the effort,
but the combination organized 10 whOOp
up a Bayard Presidential boom, "Sena-
tor Wade Hampton, of South Carolina,
has written a letter 10 a friend in this
city, in which he states that the present
aspect of politics appears 10 him to sug-
gest the nomination Of Bayard and Me-
Donald as the Democratic ticket for
