known as the odd ticket, and the nomination
OF the ageof Gramercy park is urged on
grounds of justice and fair play. Mr.. Tilden's

the influence of the western poIi

Edison has already come out and expressed
his hope that Tilden will accept the nomina

work for them again if they will enter the

great mistake to consider Tilden feeble old
man He is only a little beyond 20 years,
and is still man Of brilliant intellect, sound
integrity and capable of administering the
affairs of the nation. His honor added that
New York would be the pivotal state for the
presidential election of 1884 and Mr. Tilden
is the strongest man politically New York
State could turn out in either party.n
LOOK THIS WAY NOW.
NEW YORK, June IA special from Al
bany to The World insists that Mr.. Tilden
VIII be candidate for the presidency in 1884,
and says:
The trip of Mr.. Manning, the chairman of
the state convention, to New York, and his
interview in The Sun about Mr.. Tilden and
the convention of 1880 turns out not to have
been the accidental affair that it was an
nounced. A member of the state committee
VINO has been let into the secret informs me
that the sending of the interview was all ar
ranged at Greystone, and that it was put
out as cover to plans being arranged
for the fall as preliminary to 1884.
The same person states that Mr.. Manning
had two or three consultations with Mr. Til
den at Greystone and Gramercy park, and
that the programme for this year was all
mapped out while there The result is that
some of the politicians who have acted az
couriers in the past for Mr. Tilden were sent
for and requested to commence their work
again as on former occasions The Manning
interview was all an arranged ruse to throw
the politicians off the scent until Mr.. Tildens
agents get their work in / tell you the plans
are all made. The politicians, outside
of the few in the scent, don't believe
that MIR. Tilden is a candidate, but |
have positive evidence that he is [ OBJ
tanned my information from one of Mr. Til
den's old workers, who has been sent for and
requested to go to Greystone and receive his
instructions. What that particular person
did when he received that request, or what he
proposes to do, am not at liberty to reveal
That much of the affair am pledged to keep
secret, nor am l at liberty to give his name
but he Is man who has always secured dele
gates from his section whenever Mr.. Tilden
or his friends asked him, and has helped to
secure them from other sections as we'll"
'The correspondent Of the World then adds:
The foregoing is the main point and sub
stance OF a conversation had to-day with
politician who has been for eight years at
least an active worker in the Tilden forces
one of the captains in the ranks He has in
the past known what was going on among
the rilden Democrats. If he is mistaken now
ii is the first time he bas been as to the plans
of that interest for eight years That Mr..
Tiden is actually candidate for 1884 will be
news to many, and may account for the sud
den talk that has sprung up in the west about
the old ticket"
BRETHREN NOT AT PEACE.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 12-An incident which
may have some political significance, inls-
mach as it pretty conclusively proves that
Mcdonald and Hendricks personally, as well
as politically, are at swords points, occurred
last evening at banquet rendered the Macon
Volunteers, Georgia military organization
The banquet was spread at the Bates house,
and was attended by Gov Porter Mr.. Hen
driels, SIr. Mcdonald and number of
other Indiana notables and politicians of diff
ferent political faiths. When the banquet
hall was thrown open and the guests
assembled the master of ceremonies.

Quoted the two Democratic leaders
to adjoining seats near the head of
the banqueting board. 1t was evident from
the first that the situation was very delicate
one, but an attempt to rectify matters by
changing their seats would have only added
to the embarrassment of each, and they were
compelled to sit side by side for two mortal
hours, during which time they occupied them
selves in cOnversing very glibly with the gen
tlemen sitting opposite them, neither, how
ever, addressing a word to the other or ap-
pearing to notice each others presence The
affair has created no little talk among the
faithful, by whom it is regarded as an I'M
mistakable evidence that the recently pub
lished interview with Mr.. Hendricks, in which
he expressed SO keen an appreciation Of Mr..
Tilden's worth and a desire to see the old
ticket of 1876 renominated,, has been resented
by Mr.. Mcdonald to the extent of his refusal
to recognize his former colleague. Certain it
is that the split between them is beyond hope
of healing.
THE WORLD DOES MOVE.
NEW YORK, June B-The World news. |
rs TO show its hand. Having dis.
posed of all the leading Democratic candidates
for the presidency, it now announces that the
unexpected viii be nominated by the Demo
crats next year. The only hope of Demo
cratic success, it says, is nominating some
body the country never heard of, for it argues
that any member of the party who is known
will necessarily be beaten. The World, in
another place, makes an interesting calcula |
tion to show that the Democrats are certain |
to hold nearly all the states they carried last |
year, and therefore ore certain to elect their
candidate next year.
