dence.

Hon. ". Grin.
Dear Sri will thank you to inform

Herald Of this morning is q substantially
correct account of your interview with
its reporter. 1t is SO widely at variance
with what actually occurred yesterday in
your very brief interview with Governor

that am constrained to presume that
you have been misrepresented.
Yours respectfully,
(Signed) H. a. TnDEN.

Henry 4. ITlden, Esq,
Dear Sir-In reply TO your note of
this date, beg TO say that so far as the
Herald reported any views or opinions
of Mr. TildeD, as expressed to me in our
brief interview of yesterday, it has fallen
into error, but my Swn views and opin
ions are correctly reported.
Yours respectfully,

foregoing letters and referred 10 in the
second, occurs the following paragraph

in this matter, as far as he is concerned,
Judge Field has no brothers and that this
little personal matter would not stand in
the way with him if Field is likely to be
nominated, Gwin admits the incorrect
ness of this report. but, by emitting to
state in what particulars, leaves the
public still liable to false impression Of
what fell from the lips of Tilden in that
interview. As l CHANGED to be present

thank you to state that what is described
as ga long talk" did not last more than
five minutes. 1 will thank you to state
further that no allIsion whatever was
made to Judge Field or to either of his
brothers by Gilden, or to any matter
having any bearing whatever upon Judge
Fields nomination.
The Herald gives the following as the
apparent first ballot at Cincinnati: Whole

Horatio Seymour boarded an Erie rail-
way train at Elmira, yesterday, that
contained many delegates to Cincinnati
When it became known that he was on
board tho train delegates pressed through
his car, shaking hands with him, and
cheering for the next President. One
delegate told Seymour that the conven-
ton would nominate him anyway and
that the democracy would force him to
accept. The ex-governor replied that bis
refusal to accept WAS unconditional and
that be thought the sentiment of The
party was in favor of younger and new
men. Seymour further said: l really
doubt the expediency of nominating any
New York man 1t would imperil sue
cess. There is too much feeling between
the hostile factions. l have taken no
part in the quaIrels and yet l should, if
candidate, have been unacceptable to
some democrats. do not doubt that
the true policy of the party is to take s
younger and newer man who Is not In
anyway mixed up with New York
troubles. A strong man from Illinois
would be expedient, and available If
they had one This is not the time for
an old man to rum" At Corning
Seymour WAS invited into the Jersey
special car. He was introduced by
Captain Isaiah Rynders, now Jersey ]
man, as the next President, whether he
liked it or not. The ex-governor was
enthusiastically cheered. He said: 81

A Cincinnati special to the Telegram
says: The candidate from the Pacific
Slope is early in the field, and his banner
floats over the Gibson House. His
henchmen are very confident Of the sue
ceas of their candidate, basing their cal
culations chiefly on his course in connec-
ton with the electoral commissions,
which, they say, will recommend him to
the support of Tilden, should the latter
be compelled to withdraw. Samuel B.
Smith, ofNew Pork, has charge Of the
Field boom for the present, and will
have q numerous staff at his command,
this evening, when the California dele
gates arrive. Sam Smith was formerly q
law partner of Field in California, and
has had charge Of the Field movement
from Its inception. de Is assisted by
Judge Ellers, of Chicago. They claim
I2O votes to sart with. 1t is claimed by
Fields friends that the reports in regard
to the California and Oregon conventions
have been unfair and untruthful, and
that Field was the choice of the conven-
ton, and is in really the fayorite of the
Pacific Coast democracy. They also be-
lieye Ohio, after two or three ballots for
Thurman, will go solid for Field. Judge
McCorkle is actively at work for Field.
A large delegation of his friends left
New York to-day in q. special car
chartered by Fields brother. 1t is said
Gwin went in another car with the dele
