What the Pennsylvania Democrats

Are you going to the Harrisburg conven-

"WeIl, who Will control the convention-the
Tildenites or -Tidenites?" inquired the re-
Porter.
Neither; the democrats will control it. We
mean to run that convention in the interest OF
the democratic party. We mean to shove Rin-
dali ana Wallace both aside and give the demo-
cratic party chance. We are tired of these
QuarrelS.'
''But, will the convention declare for Tit

calIy. I'VE intend to send an Independent, un-
Instructed delegation, cOmpOsedof our vel = best
men, to Cincinnati to select for us candidate
who can be elected. My choice for the nomna-
tion is Seymour. | believe my personal prefer
ence is Hendricks, but the eastern people are so
touchy on the financial question that he might
not suit them. Tilden is the weakest man in
the party. The convention will be largely
against him. / want to see our party In Penn

tative denial OF the rumors of Gov. Tllden in
tended withdrawal at the Syracuse convention
as presidential candidate and affirming his
position In the campaign In this state, has been
fully confirmed by tie events of this week. His
victory at Syracuse, his friends DOW declare,

John Kelly Having secured this position, it
may be safely stated that Gov. Tilden will, at
the proper time. withdraw as candidate before
the ratioral convention. Both personal ard
political reasons contribute to this result Ex-
Gov. Robinson, who heads the delegation from
this state, will, Of course, be his mOuthpiece in
the convention. 1t is a knowledge OF these
facts which induced Senator Ja obs chairman
of the Syracuse cOnventiOn) to state In his place
in the state senate On Thursday that the de-
mocracy OF New York would be united In No
vember. Mr.. Tilden'S choice as a candidate 1T
