Senator, who is always well informed
about Democratic plans and whose rela-
tions with 1iden are friendly, said while
the report might not be true in detail it
was in fact.
That Tllden has determined not to be
candidate and he may make the announce
ment to tine State Convention or at any
time before it until the National Conven-
tOn meets. He AYERS in a most positive
manner, however, that rilden will get off
the track for his opponents are in majors
ty i'll the State Convention or'even numer-
ous enough to form strong minority. Then
Iilden will inform the Convention that he
is not candidate.
Chauncey w. Black, one of the most &C.
tive Tilden men in Pennsylvania, was asked
by Star reporter if The coming State Con-
vention would declare for Tilden. Black
remarked Significantly that Tden would
not be in anybody's way much longer.
He said that Tilden would withdraw from
the race and there would be no occasion to
fuss over him.
Black was asked if the so called Tilden
fight in Pennsylvania was being waged
really in the interest of Speaker Randall
for President or Vice President, but he did
not answer this question. Very many are
of the opinion that Tllden did contemplate
making Randall his political heir some
time ago, but that he has now changed his
mind, owing to Democratic hostility to the
Speaker, and will take up either Payne, or
Jewett, or Groesbeck, or some other man,
with the view of forcing the nomination OF
friend.
1t is believed Tilden is maintaining his
hold on the party in New York. Repre-.
senta i've Willes, of Kentucky, said to the
Star reporter: Il was talking to day with a
prominent Democrat who is just from New
York, and while there ne conversed with
Tilden. Mr.. Tilden told HIM he would not
be candidate before the Convention, and
all he asked of the party was honorable op.
position in the selection of its candidate fol
President. That expression is so emient
ly Tildenish that it carries with it the con.
viction that he uttered it. know that he
said positively that he would not be can
didate."
