The campaign on the part of the dem
ocrats in New York is to be quiet one,
somewhat on the "still hunt" order. Ex-
Gov. Tilden declares that he has no idea
Of running for governor next year, and
that he would not entertain the idea, even
If he Aattered himself that he could re-
ceive the unanimous vote of the people
For man who has no political ambition.
Mr. Tilden is certainly taking a lively in
ferest in the management of party affairs.
He has succeeded in getting control of
the entire democratic organization OF
New York. Tammany and his old enc
mics are all out in the cold, and none but
Tilden men are put on guard now. There
is reason to believe that what Mr. Tilden
says in regard to the governorship OF
New York could not truthfully be
said concerning the Presidency. All indi-
cations justify the suspicion that he is
now planning the campaighn of 1884, and
that he expects to be one Of the central
figures in it.

pleteness of the collapse Of the Argus
fusion campaign in the Second Congress
sional district. that it was long before any
one could be found to make fuss about
it. Now, however. it is claimed that
some one must atone for it. And the vic
tim chosen is said to be Uncle Scion Chase.
He is to be deposed as editor of the En-
quirer But what would that paper do
without Uncle Scion? II would be like

And then, rs all the readers of the En-

will soon find themselves without patrons.

Visitors Mt Yorktown are not having Il
very pleasant time, correspondent says.
1.-The Moore House. outside the old lines of
Yorktown. where the capitulation was
signed. has been renovated and partially
rebuilt to look like a comfortable villa
farmhouse. but the rooms are not half
enough for the French party. and the
house is not vet furnished. Should it be
ready by Monday only portion of the
party could occupy it. The Nelson House
is the largest building here. and might
still be arranged for the visitors if the as
ISOLATION were prompt and energetic. AS
it stands. the ceremonies may lack the
chief attraction-the presence of the de-
scendants of the French leaders. for they
will not be willing to be packed away
like behring's, however associated with
the deeds of their ancestors. Barns and
old buildings have been arranged with
hunks like emigrant ships, or their floors
covered with mattresses. in anticipation
of the crowd. A large barge is moored

The Republicans do not intend to press
the election Of Secretary Of the Senate al
this session, and will not risk any effort
on the part of the Democrats to fill the
Office other than to cast their votes against
such candidates. As the Democrats can
not elect their caucus nominee without
the vote of Senator Davis the chances OF
their succeeding are very slim. The Re-
publicans prefer to let the office remain
vacant until the regular session in De-
