SPRINGFIELD, Feb. 24.-Ex- Governor
John NJ. Palmer was interviewed to-day by
the Associate Press reporter in reference to
the report that he had received propo-
sition from Tilden to become candidate
on the ticket with him for the democratic
presidential nomination in 1884 Answer
ing the question the Ex-Governor said:
There is nothing of the report; it is pure

The reporter then Said: II suppose Gov
ernor, | may then deny that you have re-
ceived such proposition"
To this he replied: t'It is sensation;
that is all.
The report, however, is very general
here, and well informed politicians profess
to believe that the correspondence referred
to has passed between Palmer and Tilden.
