as very strong man, and this feeling arises from
the knowledge that Mr.. Tilden aud his friends, at
St Louis in 1876. would have been glad to have
given the Vice Presidential nomination to Mr..
been Q contestant for the first place. which
was secured by Mr.. Tilden. the New York delega-
ton forbore to express their preference for Mr..
Payne when assured that Mr. Hendricks would
consent to take the second place. Mr. Halliday SAID
that he was in the New York Legislature In 1875,
| and he then saw how Mr.. Tilden was working

added that Mr.. Tilden is not now working for
himself as he then worked, and If he receives the
nomination from this Convention it must come

and not from any. wire-pulling influences from
Mr. Tilder himself. Hr ,1F

whose names are prominently named in connec
