= TILDEN's NOMINATION.


T1LDEN's NOMINATION.
We think there cnn be- 10 longer my tl0uf,t
TINT Mr.. Tflden will be tho Democratic canai-
ttate for President In November next. Tho
most SERIOUS objection maize to Mr. TItden is
Ills physical jntlripity, which Is yarinasly
represented. by some It Is Inserted that l,o
Is aortous'y naralyzatl, TINT his strength Is
oxllnttstetlt that lie Is no ln0re thai sfnt-
tered wreck, waiting for the final but speedy
collapse On tho other hand, this Is M vche-
mcntty denied, and It is claimed that III his
general healtl. A{r. TIltlcn Is as vigorous rs
IL consistent will, his advanced years. 1t ia
also given ont by hts enemies that hr. fft'den
will, II elected, live out but sma'l por-
tton OF fis term, but tllfs objection has
been made uso Of by ills friends as offering a
strong !ntluceMcnt to some legion OF others
to take tho sac0nil place Oil the ticket, with
n probability Of succeeding to tho pFosl-
dency.
OF course blr. Tiiden's great
for tie nomination, is the certainty which his
friends hold out Of ]Its obtaining the vote of
the State of New York,-a certainty which
they insist is not possible With my other
candidate, Az the vote OF New York IL csaetl-
tial to tho election Of tho Democratic candl-
tlnte under every condition Of probabilities,
his claim TINT he alone call curry that State
cannot bo ignored. 1t Ia precisely an fnt-
possibility to elect any Democrat Without tho
vote OF Now York, 40 the Wholo contest, III
the Democratic party, is limited by the
question, IL there any other Democrat tllan
TildeM who can carry New York? II ID not
a. - f..n
n sufficient answer to say that Tllden Will be
opp9seu ny John Kelly, and t1as he eahhoe
carry tho State; tic question remains even III
TINT case Where IS tle other man VINO can
get tic vote ot NOW YORK! l1I!taei' aenla1la
tho nomination as peFso'1al vlnd'catio'',
anil be refused, then the democratic party
will be left without ll!s aid, and Tllden's
friends assert TINT tho Democratic party has
not carrlel the State OF New York since 1890
except at those elections where Mr.. I1llen
devoted lls brains and Ills money to secure
success. Without Ilh'cns personal and
active efforts tho state Of New York Will go
