Pennsylvania, said

Ia Western Pennsylvania, said
tonight:
Hardly day passes but we
hear some special disclosures of
Gov. Tilden's purposes in regard
20 the Cincinnati nomination. In
most instances they take the shape
that he will decline the nomination
In advance in favor Of Payne, Ran
dali, or some other prominent Dem
ocrat. There is absolutely nothing
in these reports. They are doubly
uniust-uniust TO the friends OF
Gov Tilden, in that they are falsely
impugn the sincerity of their adj
vocacy of his nomination by inn
pressing the public mind that their
activity is based on a selfish am
bition to step in his shoes. They
are unjust to Gov. Tilden,in thatthey
represent him as declining'or trans
ferring nomination which is not
his and will not be his until after the
Cincinnati Convention acts, either to
decline or transfer. Weknow where
Of we speak when we denounce these
daily reports as absolutely and
uuqualiGedly idle inventions. Gov,
Tilden will be nominated at
the Cincinnati Convention. He
must be nominated to maintain the
integrity of the Democratic organ
ization. No question Of physical
disability, no cunning scheme of
his opponents to set mp an heir APP
parent, can be allowed to interfere
with his nomination. The Dem
ocratic party cannot afford to
how TO the arrogant edict of John
Kelly that Tilden cannot, must not
and shall not be nominated. That
would place weapon in the hands
of our opponents that would carry
TO our ranks bitterness, discord,
and encouragement, with almost
certain defeat. We cannot afford
TO meet the issue that John Kelly
and his particular following defeat
ed Tilden and dictated the nominee.
Thoughtful Democrats know what
this means, and that ir involves
questions of race and religion in
their most dangerous sense. They
would be hurled at us from every
Republican stump and newspaper
in the land; and we are sorry to
say experience shows that they are
the very questions that secure the
surest Judgment with voters. Not
only by reason of his pre-eminent
fitness for the place or the neces-
sity Of rightiug the great wrong OF
which he is the representative VIC
tim. but because Of Kelly's and
Tammany's attempted dictation, we
believe the vital interests Of the
Democratic party demand Til
denis nomination. After he shall
have been nominated and the
independence and freedom of
choice Of the party indicated, Mr..
/ Tildeu may decline the nomination
il he deems proper to do so; but
the nomination must precede the
declination. To retire from the
field under the fire of the Kelly
organizers would be fatal to the
discipline, the hopefullness. and
the moral sense of the Democratic
party"

The Cincinnati Enquirer says :
"Two-thirds Of the Republican par
ty are protesting that the other
candidate Grant can not be
elected-with reason. But there
is but one Democratic name about
which Democratic doubts are en-
pressed, and the Democrats asking
for his nomination are more than
they who believe in the nomina-
ton of any other candidate. In

Cincinnati nomination, but one
name is scratched by majority of
the American people, even beyond
Democratic ranks. in their pre-
dictious of presidential success

ocratic harmony Z"

in their construction Of obligations
which It would be to their personal
disadvantage to assume. In this
particular, however, they show very
clearly their pre-eminent right to
the title of Republicans. Dishon-
esty and duplicity are the most
marked characteristic Of that par
| ty.
The action of the Illinois Con-
yention furnishes the key to the
programme of the Grant men at
Chicago next month. 1t is TO car
ry things with high hand; to
bully their way through, regardless
of protest. BY fair means or FOUL
in additional to the expedients they
have already resorted to, they pro-
pose TO secure the necessary num-
Der of votes-if indeed they have
not already secured them-and
they will then force their candidate
upon an unwilling party, assuming
from their knowledge of the party
that it will do the bidding OF the
machine with accustomed docility.
It is almost a certainty now that
Grant will be nominated at Chica-
60 and for this result the oppon-
ents of the nomination of Grant,
who are in very large majority
in the Republican party, have on
" themselves to thank. They
have claimed the right to disre-
gard State Instructions; yet when
in majority have been as tyrani-
cal as Logan and his followers in
Illinois. The conduct of the Blaine

rageous than that of either Conk-
ling or Camerou-put club in the
hand of Logan which he welded
10 knock the life out of the anti
Grant movement in Illinois.
And the feeble resistance which
the opponents of Grant made to
the machine in Illinois is indicative
of the outcome in the Republican
National Convention. Had the
regular Cook county delegates in
sisted without wavering upon their
righ,s-had they. as they often,
with much flourish of trumpets,
declared they would, stood or fallen
together. and had the delegates
who believed that their position
was sound stood with them, the
Illinois delegation to the National
Conventional would not have been
solid for Grant. But the anti
Grant men were either coaxed OF
driven into Quiescence-they had
not the courage Of their opponents
and in consequence they found
themselves minority which
| though numerically strong, was III
every other respect well nigh con
temptihle.

mated at Cincinnati. There never
has been the slightest doubt in my
mind on that point. The best men
in the south and west favor him,
and in my judgement the nomina-
ton is to-day at his disposal. Mr.,
Tilden embodies and emphasizes
the Democratic protest against the
party's practical Acknowledgement

fraud. He embodies our one only
issue. II we let it go we have moth

A large number of the friends of Mayor
elect, DIvEN, gathered at his residence last
evening to congratulate him upon his election.
The concourse was composed of men of all
parties, and the Emmett Band. Maj. DIvEN
was called upon, and from his doorstep made
few remarks, reiterating his platform, and
concluded by thanking his friends and invit-
ing them inside. There an excellent lunch
was spread, the genial host dispensing on all
around the sunshine of his presence, and
Capt. REID, Mr. JEFF WIsNER and other
friends attending to the coffee and eatabes. Ii
was a most pleasant occasion, and the Mayor
eject created on all the impression that he
was the right man, not only there, but also
for the office of Mayor. The informal recep-
tion lasted about two hours.-EI2aiTG AdUeT-

The defeated candidate was in the crowd. On
