Boston Special, April 8.
The Herald publishes highly interesting
dispatch from a special correspondent in
New York, who gives an interview with Til
den: IT don't care about going through the
tedious ordeal of formal interview" Mr..
TiIden said to the writer, "but do not mind
telling you frankly that the time has now
come when l don't care continental penny
for either politics or politicians" Some run
ming conversation of a social nature had pre-
coded any allusion to politics, bat the fore
going was in direct response to plain ques-
ton whether or not he intended to again as
pire to the Office and honor
which presumably belonged to
him already. Incidentally, Mr.. Tilden
declared most emphaticalIy that he was
cheated out of the Presidency in 1876, and
the remark was made in such connection
as to leave the inference that his experience
in the line of national politics, as managed,
had been such as to destroy his future am

was an expression that he several times re-
peated in the course of the evening.
''But you will continue to take lively in
terest in the campaign, even if you are not
a candidate?' queried the correspondent.
"Well, yes; but l am not carrying on such
an establishment of politics az some of the
newspapers make out; though you see /
have got very large house here, but it is
not the terrible den of political iniquity
which it has been represented. To read the
papers you would believe that I have
an army of clerks who do nothing
but send out circulars and money to agencies
and bureaus in every part of the country.
1 can assure you, sir, there is nothing of the
kind, neither has there been, and there never
will be-"
Mr.. Tilden told the correspondent that
he receives five hundred letters daily, the
important of which he answers very briefly.
Besides letters" he says, Il get good
many slips of complimentary articles from
editors for prelimin airy perusal, but seldom
use them. got one to-day from the south,
over two columns long, which was so soft and
soapy as to be almost disgusting. I read a
few lines of it and then burned it. The fact
is, I am no more moved by fattery than I
am by abuse. There has been many
GINNING and ingenious expedients devised
within few weeks to bring me to formal
declaration in this presidential question. l
don't care anything about this, for shall not
speak until get ready. Again l say, don't
care for the politicians or for fattery. The talk
abo ut me debating a nomination is ridicu
lous. Of course have preference, but not
living man knows tonight what that pre-
ference is. In few weeks shall be prepar-
ed to speak, and if you are around at the
time 1 shall be glad to see you, and give you
my views on this whole matter. Some of my
ardent political friends are worrying me for
public avowal, but l tell them 1 am not
ready yet. Only the other
DAY I got letter of this kind
from Gen. Mcclellan, which was almost in
dignant in tone, because 1 do not tell the
politicians what am going to do, or who is
my favorite for the Democratic nomina-
ton"
Later IN the conversation. without any re-
ference 10 the matter by the correspondent,
MIR. Tildtn stated that this breeze about the
