Special dispatches from Washington
deny that Ewing, while in New York,
had conference with Tilden ON the Ohio
campaign, or that Pendleton and Thur

positively declaned for him. Ewing
believes he has plenty Of work on hand

election in Ohio would undoubtedly re-
suit in making Sherman the Republican
nominee for the Presidency
