the party left the wagon and entering the
yard began to gather the fruit Mr. Lovett,
seeing them, came to the trees to order them
away. As soon as he had reached the mar

.TILDEN AND HANCOCK.
Hon. Smith Weed Says the Story that
Tilden Went Back on Hancock
is Not True.

New YORK, Aug. 6-The following inter
view is in Hon Smith NJ Weeds own words
Reporter-Have you read what The Hart
ford Courant has to say as to the attitude OF
Mr. 1ilden and his friends in the last presi
dental campaigns
Mr.. Weed-I have seen quotations from
the article in The Herald and The Sun.
The Courant article is evidently revised edi
ton ct John Kelly's statements, made a few
weeks since
do you know bow Gov Tilden felt and
what he did in that campaign
4 think do, | certainly know how he
talked and acted for ! saw him very often
during the time"
Is it true that he was at heart opposed to
the election Of Gen. HancockF
lit is the most absurd falsehooa possible
No one viii believe that the governor sub
seribed large sums of money to help
ticket that be wished defeated As The Sun
has made the statement as to his contribu.
tions, | may be permitted to state that per
sonally know that Gov Tilden gave the
national committee his check for S25,0 600 to
be used Tor the legitimate purposes Of the
campaign Not only did he make this sub
scription, bat be made many local eontribu
lions besides. and all to help the presidential
ticket
Did you mean to be understood as saying
the work of the national committee was per
formed by the friends of Gov Tildenfi
81 mean to say that Senator Bainnnl and
William L. Scott, who were known friends
and supporters of Gov Tlden, not only did
more work, but paid more money from their
own pockets than all the rest OF the national
committee, while Mr. Cleveland Of New
York; Mr. Hewitt, Mr.. SInalley Mr. Cooper,
aud other friends of Mr. Tilden or connected
with the committee did faithful and effective
work, as all who were familiar with the
campaign know Would all these men make
such fight for the ticket (and it was gal
liant fight, too if Gov Tilden and his friends
wanted to defeat HancockF
DO you think that ex-Gov Tilden was
candidate in 1890, or that he would have &C
cepted the nomination if offered to himYn
Il am sure he was not candidate, and he
felt that he could not and would not accept

Il do not know, but thinl; he would not
