MR. TILDEN EXPRESSES HIS OPINION OF THE TICKET
SELECTED
Ihe New York Morning Journal prints to-day an
interview had with Mr.. Ttden at Greystone yester-
day. Mr. Tilden sat by closed window, wrapped
In heavy drab cloak, which covered his shoulders
close around him. He sat In reclining attitude In
big arm chair, and his right hand could be seen
shaking with the palsy which has troubled him for
so long. A pair OF red slippers and blue smoking
cap gave him an Oriental appearance
Of Cleveland2" inquired the reporter ''''''
Mr. Ttlden did not seem to be enthusiastic about
nomination. Mr. Cleveland is very popular outside
Of his own state, and think he will beat Blaine"
You think he is not so popular in New York;"
swell, there Is great deal OF opposition likely
to come from faction In New York city, and | do
not think his actions as governor have met with
general approval among the workingmen OF that
city. Still have no doubt that he viii carry this
state"
"What do you think Of the nomination Of Hen
sit is rather queer that Mr. Hendricks should be
put In the second place upon the ticket He Will
give it great strength, however, especially in
Indiana and the west. Mr.. Hendricks Is man who
would sacrifice his own ambition for the benefit OF
his party, and OF course VIII do all In his power to
help his own election. / had an idea that he was
not so popular as the outbursts In his favor at the
convention proved With hearty work all around
hope the ticket Will pull through"
"Will you take any part In the campaign?n
Mr.. Tilden smiled sadly as he replied mo:
have withdrawn from political life for ever Still
want to see this great country In honest hands
before die"
