lp some Contingencies. y
NEW YoRK, June 2S.-ohio politics and
Democratic chances OF success continue an
absorbing topic Of conversation in New
York. Recently one hears more of Judge
Hoadly, both at the clubs and at the sea.

Democrat in the country. The exception
il Samuel ]. Tilden. Their names are
often coupled, AMI apparently not without
reason.
at is getting SO now," said politician
tr.uight, sthat no one can 90 very far In
Democratic politics without stumbling
against that individual, and Hoadly seems
little worse of in that line than any one.
Ever since the nomination at Columbus,
trains to Yonkers have scarcely failed TO
bring at least one visitor TO Greystone."
When Mr.. Henry Watterson was asked
to-day what part Mr.. Tlden would be like
ly to take, II any, in Judge Aoadly's can
vass, he said:
"That cannot answer; but OF this you
may rest assured, the Democratic parry
throughout the country is interested in the
Ohio campaign, and will do all they can
to promote Judge Hoadly's chances,
"Does Mr.. Tilden share this feeling OF
kindness toward the Democratic nominee
In 0hio?" -N'y...
"Most assuredly, / have already said in
my dispatches to the Courier. Journal, how
satisfactory the results Of the Columbus
Convention were to Governor Tlden."
"Does Mr.. Tilden's championship extend
beyond the Governorship OF 0hio?" g.
"Do you mean to the Presidency"
"Yes."

"That, sir, is going entirely too far into
the future. Itis q contingent within q cons

as well ask that cabman," he continued,
This opinion OF that question as mine. It
would be equally valuable"
"The point is,h continued the inter-
viewer, "whether Mr.. Tllden's friends in
1854, in case Mr.. Tiden still refused to be
a candidate, would support Judge
Hoadly7"
"There you go again with your contin-
eenoteg. Nobody can tell what would hap
pen in that case. You and might sit
down and discuss the thing all night, and
come to one conclusion, and try 1t again
tomorrow, and come exactly to another.
It Is Just like painting a picture" con-
tinued Mr.. Watterson, "it depends entire.
" upon the light and shade and without
that light and shade how can we accom-.
pllsh anything? Mr.. Tilden'G following Is
not a commodity that one can transfer to
anyone. It represents too many elements
which are held together by one riyet, and
when that Is gone 1t all goes together. For
instance, there are no stronger friends of
Mr.. Tilden than Mr.. Randall and myself,
vel Ihelieye that the election OF Mr.. RAM
dali to the Speakership Of the House oI
Representatives will mean the destruction
Of the Democratic party. But ] like Mr.,
Randall as a brother, and expect TO spend
tomorrow with him at Greystone. So,
YOU see, no one can toll what will be done
In 1884, and speculation on that point Is
worae than idle" t''F
