ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO TIE RrcoRp.usros.I
The Political Pot.


New York, July 135h-The sudden inter
est taken in the suggestion of the renomins-
tion of the old Democratic ticket Of 1876
creates as much surprise as has its ready ac-
ceptancs by the Democratic politicians.
Open advocates of the I" old ticket argue in
this way /: Il is conceded by all the New
York Democrats that if any candidate from
the Empire State is to be presented to the
next National Convention, it must be Tilden,
and serious doubts are entertained by large
portion of the Democracy whether any can.
didate but Tilden could be sure of carrying
the State. But would Tildsn accept? This
is the question that continues to be asked by
many who have read the account of Waiter
sons visit to Greystone, and who are not
aware OF the change thas has come over the
dream of the Sage, and which has been
wrought, "a his friends say, by an entire
change of the situation. Any other way than
in his nomination Of escaping the many diff
fculties that the National Democracy will
have to encounter at their next Convention
IN this selection Of candidate on whom all
factions of the party could cordially unite,
would be slmost impossible, in view of the
numberless rival aspirants, while the adop-
ton of platform on which they could ell
agree wo7Id be equally difficult but with
the old ticket i" in the field, rival candidates
could at least console themselves with the re-
hsction that they have all been treated im-
partially. And as for the platform, none
wonld be needed-the great fraud of 1876
you'd absorb sll other issues, ard the rectifv-
ing of that wrong would furnish a platform
of sufficient strength.
TILDEN's READINESS TO ACCEPT.
The following was obtained in an interview
with an old and Intimate friend Of Tilden's !:
" You are aware that wide discussion hes
arisen ss to his willingness to undergo the
strain of q Presidential conte;t What do
you think are his own convi tioas ?"
" am Satisfied he views his public career
as matter absolutely in control of the pub
lie decision, that he will tscitly abide by it
10 the event of a denomination. In regard
to The idea of excessive strain upon his phys
icai condition, he has been fully prepared for
any contingency CT this kind, not merely by
his rapid restoration to health and vigor, bu.
by his changed relations to such campaign,
should 1t occur. At one time, not long since,
even his immediate followers abandoned the
idea of his further leadership, ald went TO
seek their fortunes in other directions. Many
of them are now somewhat alarmed at the
prospect Of bis renominaJiop, as they have
set up Tor themselves or joined adverse in.
terests, but that Tilden viii respond in the
affirmative to the proper demand by the
party and the people there Is not particle
of doubt. 1t is also his positive conviction
that the time, opportunity and necessity for
his identity with a movement for the re-
nomination of a ticket which was elected by
the people, but denied by their tribunals in
1876. is now at hand. The recent course OF
Hendricks haF, perhaps, given this idea more
positive vitality than it seemed to have few
months ago."
