the democracy. II FOR other reason
that it has eliminated Tammsny Hall
and in it's place has won many republicans
to fill the places of the sore-headed democrats the
party is supposed to have lost by Mr.. Kelly's
egotism and se.fishness. Mr.. Tilden thoroughly
derstsnds that there disappointed republicans as
well as disappointed democrats in New York State and

more patronage to bestow his followers viii desert

WHAT ABOUT INDIANA?
"But what provision does Mr.. Tilden make for
IndianaY'
None whatever. He regards Indiana doubt
ful as not to be counted upon"
"Goodness What new scheme has Mr.. Tlden de-
vcloped that makes MIR. Hendricks unnecessary In
his calculations?" a

would give 1873 votes Mr.. Tildens idea Is thar the
democracy just well concentrate Its force In
those three Northern States which are adjacent a.
to scatter its FIRE In States distant from each
other.' So
'What has turned him against Indiana? That
State enters into everybodys calculation in dis
cussing the prospects of the OF the democ-
racy next year."
'Mr. Tilden is advised that the democracy Of that
State is very much in the same condition as tho
democracy of New York before the last election
with this dinerence-New York has purged eitself
and will recuperate during the next year.
and Indiana will suffer ct the next election 30
that the republicans will in all probability carry the
State. On the other hand, the popularity of the
democratic nominee for the Presidency will be such
to insure the votes of tho three Northern States
already named. That is what Mr.. Tilden thinks."
"why do you say that Mr. Tilden's position or in
tention will be made known some time in January"
Because he knows that the interests of the party
will demand something positive from him and that
it would be unjust to remain silent longer than the
time have mentioned"
Then by the middle of January the democracy Of
the United States will know positively whether Mr.
Tilden intends to again place himself before the
Convention as o candidater'
/, ..Yes sir; and whether he decides to be candi-
date or not his whole zeal win be expended in the
success OF the ticket"
"Even If Bayard or Thurman or Davis should be

'.Ar. Tilden knows his influence and his strength,
and. said before, if he should not be the nom
inee whoever is nominated win at least indicate Mr.
Tilden's claim to the o6dce Of which he de-
prived by diplomatic politicians. It is not necessary
to use harsh words and the nominee win not be
either Msssrs. Thurman. Baysrd or Davis"
Your friend Mr. Tilden does NOT intend to play
the psrt Of Samson, and with his choice for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency pull the temple Of
democracy down upon his head. Surely he would
not do such cruel thing as that. would hep
'The success Of the ticket repest. will be dear

All he asks. al he expects. In the event that he u

THE VICE PnEMDxNcY.
'If New York In to name the candidate vhsxs VIII
the Vice President come fromY' -
II did not intend to say much as have already
said and will not undertake to answer that
question. What I started out to say was that
Mr.. Tilden does not consider Indiana necessary
to the success of the democratic party next year.
and he does believe that named for the
first place the Presidential ticket next year will
carry New York. New Jersey. Connecticut and the
solid South. Pardon me for refusing to aay more"
Repeating the substance of this conversation to
leading democratic Congressman he was walking
m, peu an kho
adjournment of the House. he exclaimed:-
'sThe internal old rascal. no was more respon-
sibe for the creation Of the Electoral Commission
than Mr. Tilden. Mr. Randall. Mr.. Tucker. Mr..
Hunton. Mr.. Watterson. Mr.. Hewitt, aud don't
know who else went to him and he positively gavc
them assurance Of his entire approval of the mea-
sure. 1t in fact created to help him out of
his cowardice. after no refused to stand up and
fight for the ofnce he had been elected to. The
South would him-no, won't say that. be-
the South is looking upward on its prosper
Gus career. But the Southern States will never
listen to his siren voice again. No. sir. never.
THIRD TERM NOT DESIRED BIZ GENERAL
GRANT
gentleman who. with one or two other friends,of
General Grant. had talk with him at the house of
the Governor of Nevada and who. from his intimacy
with the General felt liberty to ask him directly
what he thought Of nomination for the Presidency.
says that General Grant replied promptly and with
emphasis that ho sincerely hoped the necessity for
his nomination would not arise" The subsequent
conversation showed that the necessity which he
had in mind was connected with the condition OF
affairs In the South.
