IIlden, who according to another unques-
tioaably authority, can confidently count
upon Boss Kelly's enthusiastic support, is
making advances to that potentate to
turn his hostility into active friendship.
The World has meanwhile ascertained
by personal inspection that Mr.. Tilden is
neither as strong as the prize fighter Sui
livan, of Boston,nor as decayed as Grand
father Smallweed, but that he is able to
walk alone, and to whisper loudly enough
not to drown the short of a locomotive;
moreover that he is not furiously angry at
those who talk about him as candidate
for the presidency, and fearful lest he be
persuaded,
The Herald knew all about it ten days
ago,and theSun, with the eloquent emphasis
of cumulative asseveration, exclaims:
This is all bosh. It is not true. There
is nothing in it. 1t is mere
fabrication. There is no foundation for
1t. There is no sound reason for saying
it, for writing it, or for printing it. The
Sun also expresses its sorrow that anybody
should have said it and written it and
printed it.
The Star CTammany organ) opens wide
its arms to Mr.. Tilden and says: st will
scarcely be a surprise to the Democracy of
this state, whatever it may be elsewhere, to
hear that Mr.. Tilden has once more en-
tered the lists as possible presidential
candidate. 1t has happened precisely as
the Star has repeatedly said it would, and
as we insisted it would despite the mocking
and soothing of not a few Democratic news
papers which failed to discern the political
signs of the times.''
The Times affir ms that Mr.. Tilden now
parades publicly as a candidate for the
presidency, for the purpose of giving
timely warning to all Democratic COMPETE
tors to stand off, ard dares the lusty vale
tudinarian TO come on. 1t is quite evident
that this is a perfectly clear case.

WASHINGTON, July 81 There is no
longer any doubt that there are two citi-
zens of New York who are presidential
candidates. They are Chester A. Arthur
and Samuel j. Tilden. There are a good
many outward indications that Gen.Arthur
has decided to submit himself as a candi-
date to the Republican national uonven-
ton. This is no longer a surmise. Gen.
Arthur has not authorized any one to
make any such announcement but he
begins to talk about it to those with
whom he is most intimate, and he Is form
ing plans which unquestionably have in
view broader acquaintance with the peo-
pie. To prominent Republicans from
different parts of the country, who have
talked with him within two weeks, he has
created the impression that he is i'll the
field One Republican leader, who has
not hitherto thought that Arthur was a
candidate, after a prolonged interview
with him some time since, expressed the
opinion that he was a very decided
candidate. His New York friends no
longer make any concealment of the fact.
His recent movements in New York poll
tics can all be explained better upon the
theory Of his candidacy than on any other
hypothesis. The details of the trip which
he is now arranging tend to show the same
thing. He has abandoned his purpose to
20 to Newport and the fashionable eastern
watering places. He will go west. and
Will start via louisville. He has promised
to be there early in August, and will keep
his word. From there he will 20 to Chi
cagO, where he expects to remain some
days. He has left to Gen. Sheridan the de-
tails of the Yellowstone trip. It is re-
ported here chat $50 horses have already
been provided for the presidential party
the trip will probably last six weeks.

said last winter: 'If Tilden is a candidate.
about August you will hear of his renewed
vitality. You will see it reported that he
has taken q ride on horseback in the park,
the old gentleman will begin to be frisky.''
He is frisky. But the public is not to be
left to consider him an inferential candi-
date only. Information received from
New York makes it certain that the Sara
tOga interview, III The New YorkTiiieS was
an authorized declaration of the fact that
Iilden is in the field. The manuscri pit of

Sun, is evidently very much annoyed at
the publication of this interview. He de-
