WASHINGTON, Aug. l2-Thc Star, to-
night, contains an interview with Con-
gressman Springer, who describes talk
he had recently with Tilden, on Sunday,
the 3D. inst. Springer, at Tildcn's invi-
tation, spent tho day with the Gramcrcy
park statesman, at his country residence
at Yonkcrs. Tildcn spoke quite freely
with Springer, on political matters, and
Mr.. Springer, in turn, talked freely with
the representative of the Star, who first
asked him if Mr.. Tildon was not moving
heaven and earth to secure the nomina-
ton.
Mr.. Springer replied that it did not so
impress him indeed, he told me that
whether he was the nominee or not, ho
desired democratic success. Tlden is of
the opinion that within the next four
years the country will be blessed with II
remarkable season Of prosperity; that
times will be easy, and that an impetus
will be given to every branch Of trade
and industry. "Now, said Tildon, +"
will tell you, Mr.. Springer, why it is inn
portant that tho democratic party should
succeed, and why | desire its success
above any personal ambition may have
to crafty. IT the democratic party can
ride into power on the wave of prosper
ity, which think is coming, it will ro-
main so indefinitely. On the other hand,
should the republicans retain powor,
they are likely to hold on for the half
century to come. Whichever party wins
the next presidency will get the credit of
the betterment Of tho condition Of at-
fairs which is surely coming
Another reason Gov. Tilden gave to
Mr.. Springer why he desired the sue
cess of the democracy was that such sue
cess would condemn the electoral fraud
of 1876. 81 think" said Tilden, " the
Inauguration of President Hayes was Il
blot upon the history Of our country,
and democratic success, in 1880, will
be an expression by the people that they
SO regard it. This, | say. not because |
was deprived of an office to which was
honestly elected under the forms oflaw,
but because think it will be fatal as a
precedent, if, at the election in 1880, the
people indorse it by continuing in power
party which perpetrated it,"
The Star man asked Mr.. Springs what
Gov Tlden said to bin, concerning the
canvass in Ohio. Why" said Spring
er, "Tilden is enthusiastically for Ew-
ing's success. He wants him elected and
for tho reason that the Ohio verdict, il
recorded for the democracy, will be the
entering wedge to success in the greater
campaign which follows, next year. Til
den told mo that all personal ambitions
Of men should be sunk, and that the
party, as q unit, should give Gen. Ewing
its aid and encouragement. He thinks
that the national campaign of 1880, will
be the most exciting one known in polit-
ical annals, and that the democracy can
not afford to lose single point. Hence,
laying aside the question of candidates,
as to who shall head the national ticket,
he thinks the duty Of the hour is to sup.
port and encourage Ewing in the splend-
id canvass he is making, and to let the
future take care Of itselt--that is as to
who should, or should not, be the ma,
tional standard bearer"
With reference to the trouble now cx
isting in New York, between Tammany
and anI-Tammany, Mr.. Springer says
that while Tildcn did not tell him 50, il
so many words, he certainly impressed
him with the idea that Clarkson n. Pot
ter would be nominated for governor Al
a compromise candidate upon whom al
could agree.
AS to Gov. TiIden's health, Mr.. Sprn
ger said he never saw him locking bet
ter, and he never showed himself NOR,
enthusiastic for the welfare Of the demo
cratic party. He says that he speaks il
Il low tone Of voice, in ordinary conver
sation, not because Of any intirmi'y, bu
because he has to talk to so many peo
: pie, during the course of the day, tha
he does it to save himself.
