TILDEN'S CHANCES.

He Viii Not Surrender, But UiI Go to Gin
cinnati Wih a Delegation from Ne,c
YOr,-.
A Pittsburgh correspondent says: The
Hon. James p. Barr, who is manager of the
Tilden boom in western Pennsylvania, and
| proprietor of the Pittsburgh Post, returned
| from New York to day. While there he had
a conference with Mr.. TIlden, who avowed
| himself candidate. Mr.. Barr says 81
cannot say when Mr.. Tilden will speak for
| himself, but the impression is very strong
| that he will make the announcement to the
| New York State convention. 1t is time that
| he should declare just where he stands.
Those who are nearest to him say that he is
| one who never speaks too early. The danger
is that lie may speak too late"
"Does Mr.. Tilden feel that the party owes
him vindication?'
"Not in the sense, think, that he is de-
termined to force himself into the nomine-
| ton at all hazards, l think that when the
time of election comes, if he should find
himself without a clear two-thirds of the
convention, and the situatian was such that
it seemed expedient to choose some one else.
he would cheerfully unite in that movement
for the general good.'
Gin that event upon whom do you think
the choice of MIR. Tilden's friends would
rest?''
'The contingency has really never been
seriously contemplated, for the reason
that
IT IS NOT APPREHENDED
the necessity of second choice will arise.
Should it do SO, doubtless a dark horse
would be brought to the front. Of those
now canvassed meme would be available.
Thurman does not suit a great many. Bay
ard is out of the fight, and Seymour cannot
be induced to enter it, and that wipes the
slate off. Then there are English, and
Randall, and others who might
have chance. But it ls said that Tilden
cannot carry New York. If he cannot,
1 would like to have some one show me who
can without his influence. In relation
to that difficulty I had some conversation
with Senator Herman. He did not impress
me as a warm Tilden man. l think he be-
| lieves Seymour can be induced to run. He
could carry Now York. and he has large in
fiuence in other States. But from my knowl-
| edge of his character, and taking into con-
sideration all the letters he has written, l
| don't believe he can be brought into the
Canvass
as it thought that john Kelly can be con-
! ciliated?"
"No. Kelly cannot be conciliated. Sena-
tor Herman thinks we do not understand
New York politics out here, and he says he
does. He says the
| ELEMENT TO BE CoNCILIATED
Is that composed of 100000 votes outside of
the city. With that made right, the senator
said, the city would be right. Just how
they propose to make it right cont know;
but they certainly believe they will be able
| to do SO. 1t is understood i'll New York, as
it should be everywhere, that MIR. Tilden will
make no surrender, but will not, as l said
before, force himself upon the party against
its best interests. He will make his an
nouncement, trust, very soon, and the New
York convention, which will probably in
struct for him, will offer him an excellent
opportunity.
Mr.. Barr thinks Senator Wallace will fail
in his efforts to secure an anti Tilden dele
cation from Pennsylvania to the Cincinnati
convention.
