A conflict o. opinion between the Board

NEW YORK, July So.
The Herald I" has an open letter to Til
den this morning, wherein it says: You
can never be President Of the United
States, Mr.. Tilden, and with your clear
bead and practical mind you ought to see
this as everybody else sees it. You have.
doubtless, . certain power in yonr party,
for you can probably ruin its chances il
you want to by forcing it to take you, or
by leading a faction to defeat it, il it re-
fuses 10 submit to your demands. Either
would be fatal to the Democrats next year,
and the first. in our belief. even more GER
talniy so than the last. We will not here
refer 70 certain dIsagreeable events in you
career, because that would be unkind, and
We are now addressing you in . most
friendly spirit. We will not aliude to your
income tax suit with its painful adjuncts
nor to the still more unfortunate cipher
dispatches. TO your sometime relations
with the late William N. Tweed nor to
your relations to certain shipwrecked rail-
roads. 1t Is not necessary to refer to these
matters, Mr.. Tilden, for the truth is there
are other reasons besides these to prevent
you from ever becoming President. You
are undoubtedly an able man. but your
action in partisan politics Is disastrous to
the party which you seek to control. You
VIGOROUSLY forget everything else. and the
politician Of whom it is generally suspected
that he means either 10 rule his party or
ruin it cannot expect long continued sue
cess You succeeded once you became
Governor OF New York, and YOU ought to
