Mr.. TILDEN AND THE CANDIDACY.-There has
been so much speculation in regard TO Tllden's
plans and Intentions that anything which tends
TO throw light upon the subject is OF interest. A
leading democrat In Congress- who takes a
great interest in ell party matters, said to a
STAR reporter yesterday: '.Tilden viii not be q
candidate for Ne nomination at Cincinnati.
Tha is settled and you may rest assured OF it. y
"Inen why does he not relieve MS party OF
the embarrassment he is causing tt, and at once
announce that he will not be a candidlte?''
asked the reporter.
For this reason" replied the NJ c. s.Thare
are candidates for the nomination whom Tilden
is anxious TO defeat. He feels very bitterly to-
wards Hendricks. who has certainly done very
wrong and has been very indlScreet in abusing
vent Hendricks from getting the nomination,
and he thinks he can accomplish this by keep
Ing his friends together and having them organ
lied and In harmony with his wishes in the
convention. He Is also opposed to Bayard and
Thurman, and will prevent them from winning
the nomination II he can. This is the true Sc
cret OF TlGenS silence on the subject or his can
Gidacy. He will not be a candidate, though.
That Is as true as that am now talking TO
YOU"
