talked of among the local politicians yes
terday was the boom that has been started
for the old ticket. When the Interview
with a friend Of Mr.. Tilden appeared in
morning paper on Friday they did not ap
pear to know what 1t meant The politi.
clans recognized the style, accepted 1t as
authorized, or at least semi. official utter
ance. They looked upon 1t as corrobora'
ton of the reports that have from time to
time been given that Mr.. Tilden's friends
were busy preparing for the nomination Of
the old ticket They were not then ready
to talk, and evidently desired to think II
over or obtain further information before
expressing their opinions.
Their Tongues
were unsealed yesterday. Wherever a
politician was found the old ticket was the
theme of conversation. Singular as il may
seem, they were all ready to declare them
selves yesterday for the nomination of the
been in favor OF its nomination ever since
the defeat OF the national ticket in 1880.
There were two keys that had helped to
unlock their tongues. One OF these was
the authentic statement OF Mr.. Tilden's
physical condition as he appeared on the
Hudson river train on Friday, given with
circumstantial detail in the World. The
politicians accepted this as the first correct
statement that had been given of Mr.. Til
den's real coalition.
The other Key
was the leading editorial in the Star of
yesterday, which was accepted as Mr.. kel-
Tvs views and his adhesion to the old.

move for its nomination and support to
redress the wrong of the Electoral Commis
sion fraud. Whether meant as such or
not, the Democratic politicians of all fac
tons accepted the article as meaning that

Senator DAILY considered it wholesome
sign that the organ of Tammany had lie
clared in its favor, for it would help alonj
the effort that he and others were makin(
to harmonize the party this fall and insur,
success in the State and nation. He be
heyed the movement for the nomination
of Tilden and Hendricks was a genuin,
one and that it had been started with de
liberation. Mr.. Kelly was exhibiting hi!
shrewdness in giving it his support and ap
proyal and playing his part well for har
mony and unity of the party.

We can't afford 10 take any such course

Right the Wrong.
Major Quincy, who was for several
years secretary of Tammany, was emphatic
IN his approval OF the o.d.iicket boom. 81

the defeat OF the ticket in 1880, that the
only course in the next canvass was to pul
Tilden and Hendricks on the course again
There are more people than is generally
supposed who feel that it is their duty tC
right the wrong committed by the electoral
count, and are ready to help do it if the
party leaders will only give them chance

at could not be done in $780, for the
reason that Mr.. Hendricks would not then
accept his old position on the ticket. To
redress the wrong committed by the fraud
ulent count il was necessary that both OIL
the old candidates should be nominated
Now that Mr.. Hendricks has announced
his readiness to take his old place the way
is open and the policy for 1891 clear.
In that Line
there is success and Mr.. Kelly clearly
recognizes the strength of the position"
"As far as the men who will compose the
National Convention is concerned, they
will be looking after their own interests,
chimed in Captain Rynders. They viii
care more about their future than the
wrongs of anybody in the past. Ii they
see that their success with the people will
be more certain under the cry of redeem
ing the wrongs of the electoral fraud, they
will be willing to take the old ticket; If not
they will demand new candidate
He admitted that the old ticket boom
had been started off well and Mr.. Kelly
had shown great shrewdness in jumping or
at the very start. As Democrat who hac
never falterei he was for the old ticket
whichever would best insure success.
Ex Alderman Tourney and half dozen
other politicians joined in on the same
strain. Before the crowd OF politicians
left the rotunda they had not only secured
the nomination of the old ticket, but haC
elected it, and were all ready to start to-
Washington to see il sworn into Office.
