New York Special.
The New York Sun has long been recog-
nized as the organ of Mr.. Samuel j. Til |
den. The relations between Mr.. Dana and |
Mr.. Tilden are of a peculiarly intimate |
nature, and the editor of the Sun, as is well |
known, has never quite recovered
from the outcome of the campaign
of 1876. Mr. Tilden's defeat has been as
sumed by Mr.. Dana as though it were
personal grievance, and the quiet man of
Gramorcy and Greystone has found in
the columns of the professedly independ
ent sheet ample opportunity for the parad
ing of his political wrongs" during the
last seven years. For several years past,
however, there has been very little said
about the ''pre-eminent fitness" of
Mr.. Tilden for the presidency in the
columns of the Sun, the well-known
physical condition of the Usage" making
it absolutely necessary,no doubt, that little
agitation should be given subject so es-
sentially critical to the person most direct
ly concerned therein. But, judging from
the attitude of the Sun to-day, the time
has arrived when silence must be broken,
| fact that the great political invalid"
has recovered, and is now ready
to make one last and determined break for
the prize he has so long coveted and striv-
en- to secure. To be sure, Mr.. Dana is not
at home, yet even in his absence, the pro-
nounced expression of the Sun upon sub
| ject so important as Mr.. Tilden's candi-
dacy must be accepted as the outspoken
1 of Mr. ha
determination of Mr.. Tilden to enter again
the arena in quest of the Democratic nom
ination for the presidency.
THE EDITORIAL.
The Sun this morning in a leading edi-
torial saw fit to say:
At the present state of The discussion as
to who shall be the next Democratic can
didate for the presidency the name of
Samuel j. Tilden has risen into greater
prominence than any other. The repre-
sentatives of several newspapers have
letely visited Mr.. Tilden at his home at
Greystone, and their report upon the con-
dition of the retired statesman's physical
vigor is such that he is once more men
toned as a candidate for 1884, and the
possibility of his leading the Democrats to
victory is again discussed by the press
both Republican and Democratic. The
sentiment among the Republicans, as
expressed through the journals of that
party, and through several of thei1
political leaders, is that if Mr.. Tilden
should emerge from his retirement and
appear again at the head of the Democrat
ic ranks, the idea of their electing their
ticket IN 1884 would practically disappear.
IF the Democrats should offer to put in of
fics man of such vast experience and of
such known wisdom as Mr.. Tilden the
great majorities that swept away the Re-
publicans last fall would be held by the
Democrats in the approaching campaign
and the long career of Republican corrup
ton and extravaganza would be finally
brought to close. On the other hand
what an end to all petty Disagreement
and useless chickering's would Mr.. ITilden's
nomination bring to the Democrats! TIC
have once more at their head leader who
knows and honors the principles of De
| mocracy, of a wisdom and knowledge OF
public affairs far superior to men of his
time, and of an intellectual power thai
could engraft the fruits of his polit
ical studies upon the perverted system Of
our government, and make it such a De
mocracy as was outlined by Thomas Jeffer
son. Theorists of every kind in the Demo
cratic party, protectionists, free traders
men who believe in hard money or in soft
money, would all follow Mr.. Tilden's guild
ance, because there would be no doubt Of
his ability to deal with the mighty task of
reforming the government, and because Of
their confidence in the wisdom of his
Judgment when applied to all question:
of national interest. And yet, how doe:
this candidate, who would fill the Demo
Gratis with enthusiasm and the Republican:
with anxiety, correspond with the sort sug
gested by various members of theDemocrat
ic party? If Mr.. Tilden is not to lead his
party in the approaching contest, wha
must be the principles of the standard
bearer who shall be chosen? Shall he ap
pear as representative mainly of the
pure and equitable doctrine of free trade
la theory which the immense indebted
ness of this country must for many year!
10 come render impracticablef or shall ht
be man capable of graphing with the
vital needs of the country and ready tt
head the enormous army of voters whc
drove out the majority of the last con
gress because of the riotous extravaganza
and Indifference to the necessity of re
ducing the burdens of our taxess This il
a question for genuine Democrats to think
over"

Gen. A. V. Rice, one of the prominen
leaders of the Ohio Democracy, was at The
Fifth Avenue hotel this morning. 'Poli
