and Col. Richardson charged with
being party to it. After full inves-

that Richardson was in no degree gull

honored and influential citizens, second

This is all there is in the matter. and
this exploded SANDER leaves the reputa
ton of Gov. McEnery unStaincd aud
brighter even than before.
The story has been on the streets tor
several months past; we never believed
it, because it could be traced TO no
authoritative source and because we
believed the Governor to be an honora-
bic and upright man.
No doubt the correspondent Of our
excellent st. James contemporary
meant well and fully believed the allie
cations made against the Governor,
but he should have investigated SO in
furious charge and left no source of
information unsearched before he gave
it to the public.
Rumor is f0ul-mouthed defamer, a
malicious vixen, who delights to spit
her venom on the regulations of those
whose names shine brightest among

was very indignant and said that he
had published nothing aud had said
nothing, and didn't want to have any

out of it and wanted TO take no part

Presidential AsPirants,


Presidential AsPirants,
SAN Francisco. April 24.-In an in
terView with Chronicle representative
today, MIR. Dana, of the New York Sun,
said the leading issue in the next Presi-
Dental campaign would be to turn out
the Republicans. Continuing, he said:
L think the Democrats can come
squarely before the country and adYO-
cate tariff revenue tax only, which
will yield enough to pay pensions. These
Will only last four or five years; after
that the tax will be no longer needed
Even now, as recommended by Arthur,
all Internal taxation can be done away.
Can't say whether the action Of the Re:
publlcans in the last Congress will ali
enate the wOrkingmen from the Repub-
lican party, or whether it will influence
the pending Ohio election. The effect
OF free trade plank in the Democratic
platform in the Presidential election
in New York, in the present state of pub
lie opinion, would be ruinOus; it would
also lose New Jersey, Connecticut and
probably Indiana.
The Democratic party has available
Presidential candidates in all parts of
the country. Mcdonald of Indiana is
spoken of. Hendricks has friends. Bay
ard has probably more admirers than
Illinois is strong. Thurman is one of
the ablest men i'll the country. If Ohio
unites in his support in the Democratic
convention, his nomination is assured
Tilden's friends are not discussing his
nomination. l am his friend, and am
not aware of such discussion. If Tilden
was fifteen years younger, and i'll cor
respOndiugly physical strength, there
would be no doubt of his nomination. |
don't think the western states will in
sist on naming the candidate. The de-
sire for success pTedOminates over every
thing else. Butler, in my opinion, has
no chance of nomination. / see no
prospects Of reconciliation between the
StalwaTts and Half,breeds. They hate
each other worse than they hate Demo
Gratis. Blaine's chances are poorer than
in 1876 or 1880. Arthur don't desire re-
nomination. He is a gentleman, good
fellow, and has made a better President
than any other man would have done
similarly situated. Grant hasn't the
ghost of a chance. PendletOn has no
originality, no enterprise.
Mr.. Dana further said he didn't be-
lieve the Civil Service Commission
would accomplish anything; that the
Irish TevOlutiOnistS would not influence
the election; that secret midnight con-
IpiratOrs had no place in the Republic.
Concluding, he said American journal
l5m was progressive, and California
would undoubtedly become the great
est state in the Union.

John Wick, one of the witnesses in the
Wallace-McKinley Congressional con-
test, testified recently that during the
campaign A. G. Rankin, Master Work
ingman of the Knights of Labor, of this
district, had received $500 from the
Democrats, to be expended in the inter
est of Wallace. On Wednesday, Rankin
met Wick in hotel at East Liverpool,

ing word was received that a warrant
had been issued for Rankin's arrest, and
also that a controversy is in progress
between Rankin and r. ID. Layton, of
this city, Grand Secretary of the United
States. that will likely cause a disrup
tiOn of the organization. The matter
will be Investigated by the Grand Mast
or Workman, Mayor Powderly, of Scran-
ton, on Wednesday, and either Rankin
or Layton will be expelled from the
order. II either is removed he will be
followed by a considerable portion of
the membership. The affair has created
much comment in this city, where there
are not less than 1900 Knights of
Labor. Secretary Layton has issued a
circular to the various assemblies,
bearing upon Ranktn's policy as injuri-

THE New York Suns leading editorial
of Saturday discusses the possibility of
Samuel j. Tilden leading the Democratic
hosts to victory in 1884. We think with
the Sun, that with MIR. Tilden as a pros

would end as to the result in the Ma
tiOnal Convention either as regards the
nominee or the platform. But we fear
Mr.. Tllden will not consent his name
shall go to the Convention. That is all
that stands in the way of his nOmina-

applied to all questions of a national

And yet how does this candidate who
would ill the Democrats with enthusi-
asm and the Republicans with anxiety,
correspond with the sort suggested by

Is III TO BE TILDEN?
A Review of the Democratic Sentiment
He Should Lead the Party.
s,,., 90 ca.,,.,.ou,

N. x. sun OF Saturday.
At the present state of the discussion
as to who shall be the hext Democratic
candidate for the Presidency, the name
of Samuel j. Tilden has risen into grea-
ter prominence than any other. The re-
representatives. of several newspapers have
lately Visittd Mr.. Tilden at his home at
GreystOne, and their report upon the
condition of the retired statesman's
physical vigOr is such that he is once
more mentioned as a candidate for 1884,
and the possibility of his leading the
Democrats to victory is again discussed
by che press, both Republican and Demo.
cratic.
The sentiment among the Republi-
cans, as expressed through the Journals
of that party and through several of
their political leaders, is that if Mr..
Tilden should emerge from his retire
ment and appear again at the head of
the Democratic ranks, the idea of their
electinR their ticket in 1884 would prac-
tically disappear. If the Democrats
should offer to put in Office a man OF
such vast experience and of such known
wisdom as Mr.. Tilden, the great majOri-
ties that swept away Republicans last
fall would be held by the Democrats in
the approaching campaign, and the long
