New York Special March ~ to Cincinnati
Enquirer.
Mr.. Tilden has not announced his deter
mination to be q candidate for the Presi-
dency, but he is at work in every State, all
the same. Mr.. Kelly still positively declines
to support him if nominated.
The view of all of MIR. Tilden's disinter-
ested friends is exactly represented as ex-
pressed to a Herald reporter yesterday by
the Hon. Abram s. Hewitt, who said:
81 do not see any reason why Mr.. Tilden
should desire to be candidate, and see
many reasons why he should not desire to be
a candidate"
In addition to this published statement
there is one passing through the inner circles
of politics here seriously affecting the in
tegrity of prominent Democrat in Ohio
who is charged with having bargained to
throw Tilden the vote of that State for the
consideration of $4,000. Among those
who, it is alleged, are to be utilized in the
matter, are Messrs. Hurd and Ward, from
the State at large; Messrs. Hoff-
man aud Long, in the First district;
Hoadly and Refs in the Second, and Arm
strong, in Cleveland. None of these men
toned are charged with completely in the
bargain. The name of the supposed party
is withheld by your correspondent because
the story has not been clinched to his ap-
prehenslon by proof, and for the reason
that he does not believe the man impugned
will either sell friend or persecute an enc
my. The affair, however, is not in his
keeping, and threatens to develop into a
nasty muss. 1t is given, therefore, because
it is news, but without Endorsement.
Upon asking prominent Cincinnatian to-
day if he thought Mr.. Pendleton would as
sist this scheme, he answered: II take no
stock in the report but if true, Mr.. Pendle-
for were he to advocate Mr.. Tilden he would
lose the respect and following of every pres
ent friend in Ohio"
1t is given out here, as if by authority, that
MIR. Tilden will not support Mr.. Randall in
case he himself declines. This has put a
wet blanket on the Randall men, and the
most prominent of them have ceased to visit
Gramercy Park. By keeping sharp eye on
Washington you will be able to see before
long a confirmation of this report. You
certainly will unless Randall has burnt his
bridges behind him and can't we'll retreat.
But as he is good swimmer he may yet
take water, and work around on Uncle Sam
my's flank.
Much trading and selling are thought to
be going on ia the South. A Mr.. Henry
Watterson is said to be as active in his move
ments in Kentucky as groom at wedding,
| and as prolific in his promises rs that good
man Satan once was to the bad msa Christ.
The Hon. Mr.. Cathcart, bookseller of much
renown in the North, has gone South, it is
told me, proclaiming himself between drinks
the only true Jacob Townsend, Tilden agent
| to Dixie.
Upon asking Washingtonian to-day how
the Georgia Senators stood on the Presiden-
tial question, he said: "Gordon is against
Tilden; Hill is against Gordon. You may,
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 of Gramercy park in behalf OF
his paternal ancestor for the Vice Presiden-
tial nomination. The old sage is said to
have whispered, after placing his hand in q
position of safety, and with an uuutterable
look of vacuity: "Come back here again
young man, after your State convention is
held; I'll think it over" And SO we have
in politics the grotesque as well as the Sc
rious.
New York's tradesmen are happy and I'M
scrupulous. Her hotels are full at exorbi
tant rates. Her laborers are disconnected
and her streets are crowded with people
from the provinces. Silver dollars seem as
plenty as lice in Egypt, and speculation as
rampant as is vice aggressive. Vertically
speaking, and downward, if the devil anl
Tom Walker are not near on to us, history
does not repeat itself.
| 1t is the expressed opinion of Senators
Call and Jones, of Florida, that Tilden can
not carry their State.
LATER-HE WILL NOT BE A CANDIDATE.
Since writing the foregoing, and within
| two hour q through number of sources, each
corroborating the other, your correspondent
is able to say to the Enquirer that Mr.. Tilder
has positively resolved MOTTO be candidate
for the nomination at Cincinnati. He will
however, be there in force to see that Johr
| Kelly's man is not chosen, as he feels this tt
be q duty which he owes to his friends in this
State. Who is to wear his mantle is, therefore
at this moment, a question of fearful import
to the hangers-on at Granercy Park.
| The friends of Randall have, as I sale
above, the belly-ache; but those of Payne
skip about like grasshoppers under the eye
of his son-in-law, Mr.. Whitney; and Whit
ney would probably succeed if he could only
show the old philosopher where Payne could
bring him strength from the people. The
old gentleman has not had this shown him
yet, although he has looked for it on his
walls, on his ceilings and under his bed.
| This determination of Mr.. Tilden not to
run was arrived at two days since, and is
final; but he will still keep his mule buyer
in the market, and the boys who do his bid
ding may all expect part of his keg-not
the barrel, as the latter is to be reserved fol
| Charon. Governor Bishop should look to
it that every Payne man outside of Cleve-
land is at once condemned to death without
benefit of clergy.
As coincidence, it may be mentioned
that VIM. H. English, National banker OF
Indiana, arrived in this city just prior to the
anal resolve of Mr.. Tilden, and is still
fmong US.
