nominations Ia made out. The general
principle to be observed in 1ilden's new
campaign is one Of compromise. The anti.
Iiiden men are to be conciliated, and, II
need be, bribed with good places on the
Democratic ticket. The wisdom Of begin
ming early with this programme is evident.
Tins year, as only.a portion Of the State
officers will be chosen, Tilden, with absolute
control of the State Convention, will lay
this year the foundations of a scheme which
will next year result in his nomination for
Governor, and will be fully crowned in 1884
by his nomination for President.
The Times says of the proposed union OF
the Democracy: 1t is proposed that Tam
many and Irving Halls shall unitedly take
the first step. The various Democratic or
CARNATIONS, big and little, shall send dele
gates to confer with the State Committee
as to the proper recognition OF each In the
coming convention. Every faction and
everything like a personal organization,
from that Of Oswald Ottendorfer or Andrew
II. Greenup to Tammany Hall. shall send
delegates to represent and advocate its
claims to q voice in the convention and
share in the local patronage. The State
Committee is to decide upon these claims
and allow to each representation in such
proportion as may seem best adapted to
secure harmony and unite the Democratic
vote. This scheme has been seriously con-
sidered by prominent men in Tammany
Hall.
Guifeau Creates Another Sensation.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-This morning at
4:30 o'clock, while W. G. McGill, one of
the guards at the Jail, was passing through
the corridor, something in the appearance
OF Guiteau's cell attracted his attention.
On entering the cell he found the
assassin in the possession of a knife.
How he obtained it is a mystery. When
the jailer demanded the knife. Guiteau re.
fused to surrender it. McGill drew his
pistol and an exciting struggle ensued,
Guiteau making every exertion to get the
pistol from the guard. He succeeded af-
ter a hard struggle, but McGill regained
possession of it. In the scufie that fol-
lowed the weapon was discharged, and the
report brought other guards to the assist
ance OF McGill, when Guiteau was finally
disarmed. He had succeeded, however, in
cutting McGill's clothing pretty badly,
and came near infiicting a dangerous
wound. Guiteau pretended to be crazy
and complained that his pistol had been
taken from him. All the facts indicate
that he was probably meditating escape,
and had formed some desperate plan. His
assumption Of insanity is believed to be q
dodge. as he has acted as perfectly sane
all along.
