CINCINNATI, October 22.-An Indianap-
oils correspondent writes as follows to the
Commercial Gazette: "Come into my office
here; want to tell you something Of inter.
est" faid prominent gentleman, an at
torney and politician, to me this afternoon,
and drew me into his private Office out OF
hearing Of strangers. "You must not use
my name Il yon publish what I tell you,
but you may use oil relate to you. /
wantto tell you about Hendricks interview
with Tilden last September. You remem.
Der he was in the East for some time Just
before he went to Iowa to speak in the
ampaign there?"
Eyes, but 1t was understood that he was
in Connecticut on legal misunderstanding
depositions in an important law suit. What
has that to do with 'rilden ?" l asked.
t"Why, 1t has Just this to do with Tilden,
that the real object Of Hendricks visit East
was to meet Tllden. which he did do at
Graystone. The taking Of the dispositions
was mere excuse. Hendricks told me
all that occurred at that meeting, and ii
has been on my mind to tell you abouti It
for some time, but have not had an op-
portunity before. Before Hendricks left
for the East, he received an intimation
that Tilden wanted to see him, and that is
why he went"
WANT TO De INDICATED.
"He says that one day while he was in
Connecticut taking depositions he received
an invitation from Tilden to come to Gray
stone. This he did, together with Mrs.
Hendricks. He there met Tilden. There
were number OF ladies, clerks and secre-
taries present, but no other politicians
when he arrived. After luncheon Tilden
and Hendricks got into carriage and
drove around to look at the lark. Mr..
Hendricks told me that he observed Mr..
Tilden very closely, and noticed that al
though his left arm was paralyzsd and his
right hand tremulous, yet he could not see
that he was any ieebler than he was in
1876 Tilden opened the carriage door
six times during that drive about the
park, and alighted with as much
ease as did Mr.. Hendricks. AS they
were returning to the house Mr.. Tllden
said: Il think that the great fraud OF 1876
ought to be vtndicated, and that the Dem.
ocracy OF the country ought to re-elect that
ticket You have but to say the word,
said Hendricks, and 1t will be done: As
for myself would not give q turn of my
hand to be Vice President, but l have all
the time expressed my willingness to do
my. part in vindicating the choice OF the
people OF 1876 OF course, coming as 1t
does secondhand, ] can not repeat the ex-
act words OF their interview, but l can only
tell the substance as Hendricks told me.
80 '' BARKis IS wihiIN'.
"He said Tilden asked him II he thought
the Convention would nominate him
in spite OF his refusal to be a candi-
date, and Hendricks told him he didn't
think It would. But II remain passive,
and give neither yes or no, what are my
chances denomination p asked Tilden. 4
should think they were good, but rather
uncertain, but II you were to say to q few Of
your friends positively that you will accept,
then the ticket will 60 through with 9
whirl.' Mr.. Tilden hesitated, and said he
was reluctant to give up the quiet Of his
present life for five years more OF politics,
and would have to consider the matter fur.
ther. But II was apparent he was tavora-
bly,. disposed. BY that time the carriage
had reached the house, and they
returned to the ladies'. On the afternoon
train John. Kelly came out from
New York by appointment OF Mr.. Tilden.
Mr.. Hendricks took Mr.. Kelly into a
private room and told MIN his conversation
with Mr.. Tilden, and that they had all the
matter amicably adjusted. The next day
Kelly's paper came out with that editorial
advocating harmony. Now, | have told
you Just what Hendricks told me about
the meeting. He has told only one man
besides myself about It."
"But 1t Is generally thought that Hoadly
is Tilden's candidate"
"Oh! l was going to tell you about
Hoadly. Tilden said at that time that in
case Hoadly was elected in Ohio there
would probasly be little furry about him
as a Presidential candidate, but that II
would all pa:s away ip short time, and
would amount TO nothing. That is Mr..
Tilden's opinion oi Hoadly.
