TILDEN,
WHOM WE HAVE ALWAYS WITH U.s.
A Positive Statement That Ne Is Still ID
the Ring, and An Equally Positive
Assertion That He Is Not.
He Will Be o Candidate.

Special Dispatch TO the Enquirer.
NEW YoRK, March l7.-Mr. Tilden has
not announced his determination to be
candidate for the Presidency, but he is
at work In every State, all the same. MIR.
Kelly still positively declines TO support
him IL nominated.
The view Of all OF Mr.. Tilden's disin-
terested friends is exactly represented
as expressed to 4 Herald reporter yester-
day by the Hon. Abram s. Hewett, who
said:
"I do not see any reason why Mr.,
Tilden should desire 10 be o candidate,
aud | see many reasons why he should
not desire 10 be candidate.
Ii is given out here, as IL by authority,
that Mr.. Tilden will not support MIR.
Randall In case he himself declines.
This has put wet blanket on the Ran.
dali men, and the most prominent oi
them have ceased to visit Gramercy
Park. BY keeping q sharp eye on
Washington, you will be able 10 sec be-
fore long confirmation Of this report.
You certainly will unless Randall has
burnt his bridges behind him and can't
well retreat. But as he is good swim
mer he may yet take water, and work
around OH Uncle Sammy's flank.
Upon asking Washingtonian to-day
how the Georgia Senators stood on the
Presidential question, he said: "Gordon
is against Tilden; Hill is against Cor
don. You may, l think, count Hill in
favor Of Tilden."
Much fun is had here over the visit
some weeks ago Of young man from
your city, who came on TO get assistance
from the spiral sage ol Gramercy Park
in behalf Of his paternal ancestor for the
Vice Presidential nomination. The old
sage is said 10 have whispered, alter
placing his hand in position Of safety,
aud with an unmutterable look ot yacul-
ty: Come back here again, young man,
after your State Convention is held; III
think II over" And so NE have in pol
itics the grotcsque IA well rs the seri.
GUS.
New lorG's tradesmcn ars happy and
unscrupulous. Her hotels are full at
cxorbitant rates. Her laborers are dis
contented, aud her streets are crowded
with people from the provinces. Silver
dollars seem as plenty as lice in Egypt,
aud speculation as rampant as Is vice
aggressive. Vertically speaking, and
downwardly, il the devil and Tom
Walker are not near on to us, history
does not repeat itself.
II ID the expressed opinion OF Senators
Call and Jones, Of Florida, that Tilden
cannot carry their State.
Later lilo WIN Not Do Candidate.
Since writing the foregoing, and within
two hours, through number ofsources,
each rorroborating the other, your cor
respondent Is able TO say to the En-
guiirer that MIR. Tilden has positively re'
solved not " be u candldats lpr the
noInihatioa az Cincinnati. He WIN,
however, be there in force to see that
John Kclly's man is not chosen, as he
lccls this TO be duty which he owes Ia
his friends in this State. Who Is Ia
wear his mantle is, therefore, at this
moment, a question Of fearful import to
the hangrrs.on ut Grumercy Park,
The friends Of Randall have, Us | said
above, the belly-ache; but those OF
Payne skip about like grasshoppers un'
der the eye Of his son.in-law, Mr.. Whit
ney, and Whitney would probably sue
cccd il hc could only lhow the old phi
losopher where Payne could bring him
strength from the people. Tho old gen
tleman has not had this shown him yet,
although he has looked for il on his
wall, on his ceilings aud under his bed
This determination OF Mr.. Tilden no,
10 run was arrived at two days since
aud is final; but he will still keep his
mule buyer IN the market, and the boys
who do his bidding may all expecta part
OF his keg-not the barrel, as the latter
il 10 bc reserved Tor Charon. Governor
Bishop should look to II that every
Payne man outside oi Cleveland In al
once condemned 10 death without bene'
iii OF clergy.
As a coincidence, il may be mentioned
that VIM. II. English, National banker
Of Indiana, arrived in this city just prior
to the final resolye Of Mr.. Tildep, aud is
still among us.
