The New York 11mc;s,, of Saturday

tcrviU,E had by its SaratiAsa cnrrespon.
dent with can old and Ultimate tiicnd''
Of The Hon. Samuel j. T.ldcu. Rning
asked by the correspondent, when he
had seen Mr.. TildGn, tie gentleman
responded "Wednesday last, aud dc-
clarcd I hat he was, without quniiic,,-
and purposes regarding his rc-nomina-
Mr.. Iildcn's friend that gentleman
"vicws his public career as Il matter so
absolutely in the control of the public
decision that he will tacitly abide the
event OF a denominations" In regard
to- the idea Of an excessive strain upon
his physical condition; Mr.. T;lt.ei,
''has been fully prepared for any cUn-
tingcncy Uf this kind, not merely bv
his rapid restoration to health and
vigcr, tut by its changed relations TO
such campaign should it occur" That
Mr.. Tildcn will respond in tic ailirma-
tive to n proper dcniand by the party
for his leadership, his friend saws
"therc is mol u particle Of doubt" 1t
is also his positive conviction that "thc
time, tho opportunity and the ncccssi-
ty for Mr.. Tilden's identity with Il
movement for q denomination of the
ticket which was elected by the peg
pie, but denied by their triLuncs in
lS7G; is now at hand" Tile recent
COW. 90 of Nh, IIoI,,i,iuro i,uc,- pvu ,n,t,S,
given this idea more positive vitality
than it seemed to have Il few months
ago, "and Mr.. Tildon has certainly re-
cognizcd the Significance Of Mr.. lieu
dricks's changed p'lns, compelling
him, as il does, to face Il responsibility
now which hc has heretofore been rr-
licvcd Of by llcntlrtcks's refusal to
gun" cit would bc impossiblc," says
Mr.. Tildcn's friend, "ior that gentle
man al this time to stand in the way
of Il general or organized demand for
q historic viMdication Of the great
wrong and irjusticc pcrprtralch by the
installation OF Hayes as President" :"
In short, "Mr. TiI,lcn is not cau,i-
date; this is absolute, but il is equally
absolute that if 4 demand should arise
spontaneously, and the convention
should rcnominatc him, he will not
repeat The personal plea presented in
his great letter to the Cincinnati con-
rcntion declining the nomination"
The ball is not set i'm motion bv Mr.
Tildrn or his friends, but "Mr Hen
drickS has at last arisen to Il sense Of
the true Democratic issue, and Tie
movement must he worked out in this
way" Mr.. Tildcn "will hnvc no
bureau nor accredited staff, and will
make no personal effort whatever in
the coming campaiwn."
Mr.. Tildcn, accordin" to his friend,
does not regard the legitimate duties OF
the presidential office as so ar,luous.
AS TO the present Chief Magistrate,
MIR. Til,lcn sis inclined to think that
his labor is in IL large degree CASTRO
no'hic, and the strain is mostly on his
wristbands" ga practical business
administration from the hi ighcSt and
most Intelligent standpoinI-and this
would certainly be Mr.. Til,lcn's ;,im.--
would present an executive almost as
passive as the great seal OF Enolant."
Having due regard to the concurrent
jurisdiction Of the Legislative and jut!i-
cial departments, his pc!:"y and his
acts would be far more acceptable to
The country, if stable, restrained and
conservative, than if he had a lurnuil
OF passionate and heated parlisanShip.
IN answer TO thc question, "lS not Mr..
Illucll 100 oIu 70 properly administer
the Office OF PrcSidcnl:" his friend
said: "llc is ol,t enough to appreciate
wise counsel and wise enough to direct
Il judicious administration. lie is ten
wears Younger than Thicrs was as
statesman, 0'Conor us The leader Of
the bar, Bancroft as Il historian, Judge
Black as Il iurist, or Fred. $. Winston
as tic master Of the greatest iiuaNrial
institution in the world."
MIR. Tildcn's friend docs not attach
any importance to Mr.. Kclly's oppoSi-
ton, but predicts that Kelly will "br
the foremost and the NEST earnest in
support OF the 'old ticket" in due
time.
