AN OLD STORY RETOLD,
In Which Hendricks is Reported to
Be on Speaking Terms with the
Better HaIfof the Old Ticket
mr.. TiIden's Movements.
spscial b The nonrisr.Jonrnal


INV York, October THE report
from Minneapolis tonight that Mr..
Hendricks and John Kelly have re-
ceived Mr.. Tilden's consent to be a
candidate before the next Democratic
nominating convention provided the
old ticket is renOminated, is mere
repetition of similar tale which was
published here some weeks ago. 1t is
fact that upon his return from Sar-
atoga last September MIR. Hendricks
stopped a few days al private house
in this city. There an interview was
arranged between himself and John
Kelly, and both gentlemen by arrange
ment called ct Greystone q lew days
after this. Mr.. kelly's organ am
nounced that 10 case the old ticket
was renominated il would receive
Tammanys support, This was all
that was known publicly OF the inter.
view. Mr.. Iildsn is said to be pre-
pairing for trip to the South and
West Indies. There are some cir
cumstances which seem to warrant
even this guarded allegation and
yet nothing to substantiate its
accuracy. The yacht Yosemite
which was hired TO run up
aud down the river, and even as far
out as the Narrows, with him aboard,
has been lying in the North river for
some days, and unwonted activity has
been manifested by her crew. Boat
loads of stuff id, hampers, boxes and
sacks have been sent aboard and all
the indications are favorable TO the
belief that she is victualizing for a
cruise Of unusual length. Her Cap
tain has declined to throw any light
upon the meaning Of this unwonted
activity, Her crew are quite as mys.
terious as the old man himself. When
asked If Mr.. Tilden was really going
to poke the Yosemite's nose outside Of
Sandy Hook and bear away for mild.
or climate. the sailors only response
is to shift his quid from the starboard
to the port cheek, hitch his trousers
and indulge in a vacant squint at the
clouds and the horizon. Even the
masters and the officers Of the Yosem-
lite do not indulge their appetites for
fine brands of wines and brandies,
much as they may regard these articles
with the highest possible regard as
companions OF voyage at sea. The
inference is, therefore, plain something
