The remark Of The Posts correspondent

Tiden has been repeated in my presence
time and again to-day by congressman and
others. This interview has given quite a

Hendricks will make ticket that can beat

Mr.. Evans, Il South Carolina, is noted for
hi, conservatism and leyel-headedness.

home wrote an article myself nominating
this ticket. Seymour" he remarked, has

Of the day. Mr.. Hendricks is not only
strong in Indians" said he, "but Ohio
members inform me that he has immense
strength ia their State, OF which he is Da-
tive. His speeches. they add, in the last

Of any one else"
WHAT A PENNSYLVANIA SAYS.
Iasked Pennsylvania, who commenced
life as printer, and who now holds posi-
ton Of importance at the Capitol, what he
thought Of Seymour and Hendricks after
reading this interview. Why, believe"
said be, "they are the very men OF all
others, and that with them the Democratic
party cannot help winning. They can carry

WHAT THE REPUBLICANS SAY.
The Republicans admit Seymour's

They never, however, say a word about
Mr.. Tilden's health, or about his age
either when cOntendng, as w. L. Chand-
Ter does, that be is entitled TO the nomina-
ton. The fact is evident that they do not
want Seymour nominated, because they
fear be will get so large an electoral vote at
the North a to preclude the idea OF his
being counted out and Grant put in.
