There are growing evidences in the
Tilden camp bal the friends Of that
gentleman have induced him to be-
lieve that the time has come for him
t. speak out and either decline to
enter the race or let it be known
that he is in the field. Colonel
james P. Barr, editor of the
Pittsburg Post and at the head
Of the democratic party in
western Pennsylvania, is given as
authority for the statement that the
learned from Samael j. Randall while
in New York that Mr.. Tilden would
be a candidate. The impression is
that this announcement will be made
at the New York convention. 1t is
urged by his prominent friends who
have stood by him unwayeringly that
he should run, and that it is due to
them as we'll as to himself that he
should make his intentions known. 1t
is characteristic of the mar never to
peak oo'soon, and it il feared chat lie
may speak too late, and find that many
of his followers have become discour-
aged aud transferred their allegiance
to some other leader. His friends say
that when the time Of nominate, n
comes, if he should find himself with
out a clear two-thirds of the conven-
ton, and the situation was such that
it seemed expedient to choose some
one else, that he would cheerfully
unite in that movement for the general
good. This means that if Mr.. Tilden
cannot be nominated himself he
would undertake to name the candi-
date. This much has been bold
ly proclaimed time and again
by the Courier. journal, a paper that
has been supporting Mr. Tilden enthu-
siastically, and without letting up, for
four years, Such devotion to the for
tunes of a political leader is %phenome-
nal. A late number of the Washing
ton Post, a strong democratic paper.
says:
AT a meeting of the prominent
friends Of Mr.. Tilden, which was held
in New York last Saturday, the decla-
ration was made by hat gentleman
that he would without doubt be a
candidate for the democratic nomina-
tion. During the last six months
reports have reached US from time to
time, aud from the most authentic
sources, that Mr.. Tilden contemplated
= voluntary but decided remuneration
of such honors, but we kave no reason
to doubt that whatever may have
been his intentions or purposes, he is
now resolved to ask for the nomina.
tion. 1t was due his friends, who
might desire to attach themselves to
other candidates in the event of his
withdrawal from the race that he
should come to an immediate and posi-
tive decision, and this, we are inform
ed on unquestiOnable authority, he has
done"
With all the evidence and light,
before us, We regard Mr.. Tilden's
candidacy almost as a fixed fact.

CHICAGO LETTER.

Special Correspondence PUBLIC LEDGERl
CHICAGO, March 5.-Last night,
about I o'clock, King Boreas visited
this region in q manner truly undigni-
fed. The old fellow was on a high
horse, and made things very lively for
a while. Such another storm of pas
sion seldom emanates from the mon
arch of the winds. During the latter
part of the afternoon it was unseason .

flashes of lightning swept through the

However. it was only a scare, and in a
few minutes the stars were shining
%gloriously, and everything became
calm once more. But while the
blow lasted it made sad havoc
with signs, and everything else Of
light nature. Even bugyies were
swung in all directions. Umbrellas
went sailing round the moon, and
hats to fight to regions unknown to
their owners. Such ebulitions Of
wrath on the part of the boss Of the
gentle zephyrs are not appreciated by
Chicagoians.

Mr.. Nibbs hired a new colored
nurse the other day, and with the
nurse came into the house the most
intense odor of onions. At FIRST, how
ever, the obnoxious smell was not
attributed to her, but as the after,
noon came on the oniony atmosphere
became so thick that it could have
been cut with a knife. The culinary
department was investigated, but the
cook took an oath that an onion hadn't
been in the house for a month.
Old visitors called, veteran takers.
who were in the habit of shooting
their respective mouths off steady for
three or four hours at a time; but they
weakened on this occasion. The
strength Of the onions was too much
for them, and they slid out in about
fifteen minutes with tears in their
eyes. Even the little Nibbses wept
more than usual. The d~isagreeable
smell continued a mystery indeed,
and finally grew 20 unbearable that
Mrs. Nibbs, in sheer desperation, ex-
claimed to the nurse:
"Dinahl don't you know where the
smell of onions comes from?'
Down Topped the girl on her knees
and said:
|. Fore de Lord, forgive me, misses
but | guess it's mel"

"Yes'm; our s'ciety has 'doptet

pox, an it's greed dat ebry girl in il

GUS things that made up the "mak,
up" Of that maiden's bosom we're
half dozen sliced onions.
