DFNCY--FEARs THAT TILDEN MAY CAPTURE THE
CONVENTION.
my TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSR]
WASHINGTON, Feb. S-For some reasons, which
many people find ii quite difficult TO explain, most
of the Democrats in Congress are quite unwilling
TO discuss the prospects OF the Democratic candi-
dates for the nomination 10 the Presidency. They
are willing enough to discuss the third term ques-
t,on. or TO speculate on the Presidential prospects
of the leading Republican candidates. In regard to
these matters the Democrats have opinions which
they are quite ready to express but they fight very
shy when the question, g" Who is to be the Demo
cratic candidate 7" is asked.
Whether this is one of the subjects regarding
which the muzzle has. been applied. no one seems
inclined to tell but Democratic congressman
generally show the same reticence when 1t IS
mentioned that they do when asked If their party
is going TO renew the attempt to repeal the elec-
ton laws. Probably as reasonable an explanation
OF this retcence as can be found, however, Is the
fact that the average Democrat has no opinion on
the subject. He has seen the Seymour boom"
the Thurman BOOM" the Hendricks 4" BOOM" and
all the other "booms y IN behalf of this and that
Democratic favorite suhsde and die away in their
incpiencv and he is left with no hope in the pros
pects of any ind vidua Hope" is used advisedly,
for among the majority of Democrats there is a
an oath. that Mr.. Tilden will be the nominee, IN
spite of everything.
Said prominent Democratic Representative from
n Southern State to a TRIBUNE correspondent last
week: Well, l am sure can't imagine who will
be our candidate. / have been trying to talk up
General Hancock, but his name seems to create no
enthusiasm among our fellows. have got dis
pusted. and do not say much about it now. But
am sure of one thing: If we don't take up some
body pretty soon and arouse enthusiasm In his IA
yor. old Tilden will come in and take the pot If
there is to be still hunt. he will bag the Conven-
tOn, sure" , ,
said another Southern Congressman, when asked
whom the Democrats will nOmnate: " Not lllden,
nor Thurman, nor Seymour, nor any other old party
hack We shall take up some Franklin Pierce. Jr.,
or some young James X. Polk, and run hun ~.
We are going to win; but we must take an entirely
new man to do II wiih"
There are number of TildCn men among Demo
Gratis in the House. but they do not make any noise
or try TO start any boom" They have the advaD-
tage of the Others, because they know just what
they want. The others arc all at sea- lhey show
no enthusiasm in favor of any particular individual,
