when an Interview appeared in the
New York Times some months ago. nc.
credited to one of Mr.. Tilden's friends,
which seemed to indicate his desire to
be Il presidential candidate, it was as
scribed to Andrew IL. Green or John
Bigelow. One or the other Of these two
men, who are very near TO him, was de
clared on all hands to be the certain
author of this interview and the sus
pcion was freely expressed chat Mr..
Tllden was playing a double part lie
was accused of acting dsingenuOusly in
having a section of his friends, like
Editors Dana and Watterson, deny his
candidacy, while his close conf
dantes, like Bigelow and Green.
were TO nurse his cause. Like the
man who shot at a calf, mistaking it
Tor deer, and was jlbed for missing it.
IL was said of Tilden that he aimed at
the presidency If he could secure il, and
IL ne couldn't attain the object of his
ambition he was to loftily disclaim any
purpose OF seeking it. HIS conduct in
1880 gave color to this idea.
Now comes Mr.. Bigelow to the fore
and says, once and for all, that Mr.. Til.
den will not accept the presidency
though every man, woman ana child in
the country should sign petition
asking him to take it. Mr.. Greer
dsnies that. Mr.. Tilden is can.
didate in any sense, and adds that the
movement for "the old ticket is a
pure invention of Mr.. Hendricks, who
wants TO manipulate it in his own behalf,
and either secure his nomination for vice
president on ticket Of which the head
will be physically unable TO take first
place II elected to it, or to create a senti.
ment which In the event of Tilden's
peremptory declination, will make Mr..
Hendricks the nominee for president

Ed Mclaughlin, champion Of Penn
sylvania, last evening gave the most re
markabIe exhibition of billiards ever
se"n IN Philadelphia, at his rooms,
Eighth aud Chestnut streets. It was a
public game, and Sutton, who has recently
come into prominence as an expert, was
the foil. The game was the regular three
ball game. Mclaughlin in the fifth
inning got the balls on the rail and made
the circuit of the table twice with a total
Of 1872 points. He played careessly at the
last corner or probably would have finished
the game that run. AS it was, he finished
in his tenth inning with run of 145. The
average of GO was the largest ever made in
Philadelphia. Sutton's seven innings went
for total Of So points.

? FAILURES OF THE STATE PRESS

The West Chester RcyuJlic1n is now
satisfied that strikes don't pay.
The Philadelphia CJoacle MraR
thinks that the president goes in for the
gospel OF relaxation, and plenty Of it.
The Altoona Times observes that the
r:vOiutioniStS have builded better than
the kncw-in uniting the Democracy from
the Lakes to the tidewater.
The Harrisburg Patriot notices that the
Democrats manfully and fearlessly in.
Sist that the popular right OF equal repre-
s'ntation be granted to the masses"
Tho NOrrstOwu Times finds Consolation
in the reflection that if the pension lists
will never DO published they are at least
promised.
The Pttsburg Di,patch complacently
remarks that there is nothing like the
power to take philosophical view of cir.
cIms,anccs which to the ordinary mind
appear very uncomfortable.
" THAT the Democratic party is growing
III tho esteem aud affection of tho people
is shown by the countenances Of dismay
NIteN mere and there among the leaders Of
the oppositiou," is the opinion OF tho
Reading NeUs.
The ilHzleton Fra Speaker says
" Deep down in the hearts of honest
Pennsylvanians there has long been be-
lief that tho state treasury was run in the
interest of the Republican ring. That
belief is now conviction, fast and firm.
Laws have been disregarded and the
public sentiment has been outraged and
lnsulted."
The Philadelphia NerS makes the time
ly observation that " il there is one thing
more annoying than another to the aver
age theater.goer it is to have somebody
behind him to chatter about the time the
curtain goes up, and keep up an almost
incessant flow Of words until it goes down
again. Philadelphia and New York are
gaining an unenvlabie reputation in this
respect"
