THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

1 Endcn's f-osItiOn--StraXVs that Indicate , His Course in the Presidential Race i WASHINGTON, April 15.-Ths Star prints 1 the following i The telegram from Washington to PhiIa- i delphia paper stating that Tflden had prepar- 1 cd letter to be presented to the coming State convention in New York, announcing his 1 withdrawal from the Presidential race was l topic of discussion here to-day. Superin-
 tendent Fletcher of the House doc
 umert room gave Speaker Randall as authority for the denial of the report Others likely to be well posted say there is 1 truth in 1t. A Star reporter made inquiries among members of Congress from New York | and the East, and the prevailing opinion was ! that Tilden intends to withdraw. Some of l these Congressmen are on good terms with Tilden. One prominent Senator, who is al ways we'll informed about Democratic plans and whose relations with Tilden are friendly said that while the report might not be truth in detail, it is in fact. Tilden has determined not to be candidate and he may make this announcement to the State conven- tion or dsfer 1t until the National convention meets He ayers in the most positive manner
 however, that Tilden will get off the track. If his opponents are Tn tho majority in the State convention, or are even numerous enough to form strong minority, Tilden will inform the convention that he is not candidate. 0.
 Black, one of the most active Til
 den men in Pennsylvania, was asked by
 Star reporter if the coming State convention
 would declare for Tilden. Mir. Black re-
 marked that Tilden would not be in snybody's
 way much longer. He said Tilden would
 withdraw from the race and there would be
 no occasion for any fuss over him. Black
 WAS asked if the so-called Tilden fight in Penn
 syivanie was being urged really in the inter
 est Of Randall for President or Vice President.
 He did not answer the question. Very many
 are of opinion that Tilden did contemplate
 making Randall his political heir some time
 ago, but has changed his mind owing to the
 Democrats hostility to the Speaker and will
 take up Payne, Jewett, Gro.sbsck or ''some
 other man, in the view of forcing the nom
 ination of friend. It Is believed that Til
 den is maintaining his hold on the party in
 New York. Representative Wslles, of Ken
 lucky, said to Star man: II was talking
 to day with 9 prominent Democrat, who is
 just from New York, and while there he con-
 yersed with Tiden. Tilden told him he
 would not be candidate before the eonven-
 ton, and all he asked of the party was hon
 orab!e option ip the selection of it's candidate
 for President. That expression is so Tilden-
 ish thGt it carries with it the conviction that
 he uttered it. I know he said positively he
 would not be candidate"

issues that have been reached at great cost and once accepted must not again be brought into question, and we hold that they who seek to reverse or set them aside, or to revive past controversies for political purposes, are unwise statesmen and dangerous political leaders, justly responsible for disturbing the peace and obstructing the welfare of the country.
 seyenth-The duty of all Republicans loy- ally to support the candidate of the party, and the duty of the nominating conventions to present men who are acceptable to all Re- pubiEans, are reciprocal duties of equal force and obligation. Profoundly sensible of the importance of the impending election to the nations safety, honor and well being, the Re publicans of Massachusetts demand of their delegates to the National convention that they use all proper efforts for the nomina- ton of candidates who, having the rcqui- site qualities for the office, will also have the confidence and approval of all who hitherto voted with the Republican party, who will invite the support of other patriotic citi- aens desiring good government more than par- ty success, whose nomination will be expedient because most worthy and least objectionable, and whose triumphant election (to which we pledge our hearty and united sfforts) will give assurance of the continuance of sound poli- cles of administration and of uninterrupted and growing national prosperity. While we do not instruct our delegates, we recommend to their consideration Republican states man who possesses in an eminent degree such qualities and requisites for the nomination, the Hon. George F. Edmunds of Vermont.
 The resolutions were unanimously adopted upon motion of Hon. George s. Boutwell,. The thanks of the convention to HoE. Henry l.. Dawes were carried unanimously. The con vantion dissolved at 3;3O p. 10.

Whole number of votes

Messrs. Hear, Goldman, Sanford and Seelye were declared elected. Hon. Eben F. Stone of Newburyport, James RI. Barker of Pitts field, Charles Allen of Boston and R. l.. Bishop of Newton, at large, were elected alternates.
 Hon. John B. Sanford, from the committee on resolutions, read the following platform, which was heard with frequent applause:
 First-We declare our steadfast adherence to the ideas and principles of government and policy which have made the Republican party distinctively the party of freedom and equal rights of patriotic devotion to the Union, of progress and reform.
 We believe in an honest currency, with every dollar equal in value to every other dol lar, and in 6 financial system which shall sa- credly guard the national faith and credit and assure the continuance of specie payments, and congratulate the administration and the country upon tho conspicuous success with which resumption has been accomplished, commercial confidence restored and the pub lie debt refunded and reduced under the able management of the President and Secretary of the Treasury.
 Third-We believe in the inviolable sov- ereiRnty of the National Union, as established by the Constitution, over all the States and all the people, and in the duty Of the National Government, by wise laws, efficiently execut- cd, to protect the ballot in all national cleo tions and to maintain and vindicate the con stitutional rights of all citizens of the United States, wherever and under whatever fiction of State sovereignty or other pretense such rights may be assailed.
 Fourth-We hold that to the stability and success of the Government by the people, and that any attempt to thwart the will of the majority, whether by preventing the lawful exercise of the right of suffrage by fraud in casting or In counting the votes, or by unseat- ing for partisan purposes fairly elected mem bers of Congress or of State Legislatures, is Q crime which will not be tolerated by free people.
 Fifth-Grateful for what has been done during the administration of President Hayes to improve the tone and methods of civil ser vice, we again invoke Congress to complete the work by necessary legislative enactments, in order that there may be adequate and per- manent security against the misuse of the public service as the machinery of party or ganization and personal influence, and so that, in the language of distinguished Senator ''the holders of office may feel that they are the servants of law and not the personal ten- ants- at-wiIl in their place of either heads of departments or Congressmen."
 Sixth-We have our country and common interests as a nation at heart. We deplore the existence of sectional strife and animosi- ty, and parties bound by territorial lines; we earnestly desire the resources Of the South, as well as of the North and West may be de- veloped under just and harmonious policies by the united energies of our whole people,, To this end there must be an actual recogni- ton of equal rights to all by all. The privi- leges of citizenship must everywhere be re- spectei, the results and settlements of pa

 DIES MONIES, April 15.-The Supreme Court of Iowa has just decided in the case of Van derpool vs. Iowa City authorities, involyip g the right of college students to vote. Van derpool was a student at the Iowa University but was refused the right to vote in Iowa City, his home being in Mitchell county. The court held that as he did not know where he would make his permanent home, but was in the habit of taking his effects to Mitchell county in the summer vacations, his home and voting place was there, and not in Iowa City. This agrees with the decision on the same mooted questions in New York and other States.

guests at the hotel, had been almost killed by inhalation of gas escaping in their bedroom, but that their peril was due to accident seemed certain. The two men were passengers on the steamer Gallia, that reached this port Wedneg- day. The professed object of their visit to America was pleasure and they intended to remain in New York about week. At the New York Hotel, room 444, double front room on the fourth floor looking out on Broadway, was assigned to them. We'd nesday evening they spent visiting places of amusement and returned to the hotel between ten and eleven o'clock. They retired at II in 8 very cheerful mood af ter friendly chat with the clerk. Early this morning a strong smell of gas became mo- ticeable in the upper corridors, whidh grew offensive as the morning advanced, and at last when some of the guests complained, it was traced to it's source, which was found to be room 444. The gas escaped through the keyhole and crevices of the door. Its occu- pants when called did not answer and the door was burst open. The two men were found in their beds appa
 rently lifeless. From three burners the gas escaped in great volume and filled the room. Prompt measures were taken to resuscitate the two men, and after several hours hard work they recovered sufficiently to give hope of their recovery. MT. Broadhurst seemed to be afflicted much worse than his friend, and was insensible long after MT. Angusly was beyond danger. Late in the afternoon their condition was considered promising.
