Mr.. Tildcn seems to have reached ont and gath

badly mixed affair. Mr.. Wadleigh il in the field
for another term. and almost every Republican in
the State who has ever served term in Congress or

are disturbing suspicious IN the minds Of all tho
aspIrants that he intends TO enter himself for the
race before ii is over.
There is evidently feeling in Ohio that since
Tilden has been cxculpatod something ought to be-
done for Judge HOadley, who came forward 10 such
spontaneous way todefend the Oregon fraud before
the Electoral Commission. He was made chairman
of Democratic convention in Cincinnati few
days ago and was nominated for the Vice-Prcsi-

Senator Sargent wrote letter to Governor Kink
head, of Nevada, under date of March ;, which has
just got into print in the Pacific Coast newspapers
The object of the letter is to acknowledge the
luton Of thanks passed by tho Nevada Legislature
complmcnting the Senator on his course N urging
the passage of the Anti-Chnese bill. 1t is entirely
proper for Mr.. Sargent to take off his hat aud mako
his bow to the Nevada lawmakers, but when ho
goes ont of his way to impute inconsistency and
cowardice to the President and Secretary Eyarts,
as he does IN the following paragraph, he can only
be excused on the ground that violent partlsanship
has warped his Judgment and ruined bis manners:
"Lct it not be thought that the Representatives of
the Pacific entered into this struggle without as
surauccs of Executive sympathy and approval. We
supposed we understood that such a bill wOuld be
approved | found Mr. Hayes and Mr. Eyarts IN
renoated interviews IL could Judge from conver-
satiOns, extremely anti-Chncse. they hardly ne'ced
information, 80 ready were they to apprehcnd and
-vmpathiza. Was tLis mere prctcn5ion, OK did they
disown their convictions when the senac.eSs clallor
against them camei confess to n doubt on this
pont In either case q pTcteXt was found TO veto
The bin ard the message contained scaut courtesy
for the slaughtered opinions of few weeks before
The ser ,eess claOrn was all IN favor Of the bill.
Possibly Air. Hayes and Mr.. EYarts shared IN the
current prejudice against the Chinese whom the blll
was first introduced but If they did II - to Their
credit that they changed their views when they
came TO examine the subject carefully.
