THE GOLD TICKET"
Announcement by Way of Minneapolis
That IL Will Surely be Nominated.

That II VIII Surely be Nominated.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., Oct. THE Iri-
duHe to-day published dispatch from au-
thoritatiye quarters to the following effect:
"Despite the many assertions said TO be
made on authority from Greystone that
Tilden would, under no circumstances, con-
sent to be the Presidential candidate of the
Democratic party In 1884, 1t may safely be
set down that desperate effort will be made
to nominate the old ticket with the full
knowledge and consent of the two gentle
men most directly interested.
A short time ago Hendricks made a quiet
visit to Tilden and effected an adjustment
OF the misunderstanding which had existed
between them since the campaign of 1875,
after which he disclosed the real object of
his visit by trying to induce Tiden to allow
his name to go before the National Conven-
tion. After an extended conversation, 10
the course of which many objections ad-
Vaneed by Iilden were met and satisfactorily
answered by Hendricks, Tilden said
"Well, shouldn't mind 1t except for the
labor OF making another campaign" to
which Hendricks replied assuring Tilden
that the campaign was already made and he
had hut to speak the word to secure the
nomination.
This seemed to satisfy Tilden, and they
parted with the full understanding that the
old ticket would be put tefore the people in
1884.
Shortly after Hendricks visit John Kelly
made journey to Greystone on the same
business, presumably on hint dropped by
Hendricks. Kelly assured Tlden that he
had "buried the lIatchet" and was anxious
to see the old ticket renominated. He said
that he would work hard and faithfully to
accomplish that end and also to secure their
election. II is intimated that Hendricks is
actuated by the fact that Tilden is an old
man and decidedly feeble, and that he (Hen-
dricks) would have much of the work of
the presidential Office to do, and would
probably become President before the end of
the term by reason of Tllden's death or
total disability.
Kelly wants Tilden nominated so as to
pay OFF old political debts, and his nomina-
tion would retire Cleveland and others, for
whom he has strong dislike.
OPINIONS IN NEW YORK.
tPhila. Press Special
New YORK, Oct. THE reports from
Minneapolis that Mr.. Hendricks and John
Kelly had received Mr.. Tilden's consent to
be candidate next year, providing the old
ticket is nominated, is repitition of sim
liar tale which was published some weeks
ago. 1t is q fact that Mr.. Hendricks paid a
quiet visit to New York early in September,
and stopped at private house, presumably
to avoid publicity. While here, it Is alleged
that he stopped at Greystone and had an
interview with Mr.. Tilden, at which John
Kelly was present.
Mr.. Kelly's organ, the Star, shortly after
words announced editorialiy that the old
ticket would receive its support If nomina.
ted. This is all that is publicly known OF
the alleged interview The Times will say
tomorrow in regard to the report:
There is good deal of plausibility in this
'dispatch from authori ative quarters, !"
which the Minneapolis Tribune published
yesterday. How natural that Mr.. Hendricks,
rejecting on the strength and astuteness of
Holman, on the clamorous call to which
Mcdonald lnclines highly fattered ear and
/ considering how that frail thread of life
which holds the foremost end of the old
ticket in position might snap presidential
service, should go down on his knees to the
illustrious recluse of Greystone and beseech
him to bring out the grand old gonfalon and
dust 1t up for Isl, and If John Kelly,
tenderly taking in his own, the palsied
hand of the man he has SO deeply
wronged, should weep bitter tears OF
contrition and assure the old ticket that
Tammany would be for it to its last bar
tender, what under the ehafing of even
few short months of would be lacking to
complete the picture and todrive Mr.. Dana's
Holman into a lut attic asylum9 Nothing,
assurcdly. But our latest advices from
Greystone are to the effect that Mr. Tlldcn
has given up all thoughts of presiderc cy-for
this fall at least.
1t is believed that Mr.. Tilden is making
arrangements for an extended trip in South
ern waters on his yacht Yosemite, but he has
not yet publicly announced his intention OF
going away. The Sun regards the Minnea-
polls story as utterly absurd.
