SGRArOOA, August SO,-A correspondent
in conversation with Emory W, storrs on
the politics Of the day, asked the eminent
Chicago lawyer how he thought
the new Tilden movement would be ne
ceived in the West? rsa.rs
Il don't know much about the Demo-
Gratis, but think you will find an intense
jealousy Of Tilden among the Western
Democracy Besides, the Western Demo-
crats have had dlscouraging run Of bad
luck with New York Democratic candi-

Apropos OF the Western Democratic SEN
timent in relation TO Tlden there are Hl-
mors here Of n settled determination on the
part OF the friends Of Mr. Hendricks to
push him into prominence as the Demo-
cratic candidate at the next Presidential
Convention OF that party in opposition to
MIR, Tilden. Ever since Mr.. Hendricks re-
ceivCd the nomination for Vice President
he has had the Presidential bee
in his, bonnet buEzing more loud
ly than ever. He regards his ac-
ceptance OF the second place on tho ticket
with Mr., Tilden in 1875 as q great act Of
selt-abnGgation and political devotion on
his part, and considers that his CondesCen-
ton ut that time fully entities him to head
the ticket in 1884, What particular quail
ticatiOns he possesses for the Presidency,
what special claim hG has on the DemOcrG.
cy OF the United States, or what strength he
can bring to the party, II Is not easy iorany
but Hendricks mantO see. Although his |
friends claim that he had no unfriendly |
feeling toward Mr.. Tilden last year, and |
only0hlCcted To 20 on the ticket again with |
him, w he would have objected to run for
the second place with anybody else, the |
general belief In the party Is that he
was up to the eyes In the anti.Tilden
intrigue and that he would have been very
glad to have received denomination for
the Vice-PreSidenCy on the Hancock ticket.
