The Tribune
says: THE Democrats have unnecessarily
troubled themselves over Mr.. Tllden's
course. The old gentleman is a physical
wreck, but he has sufficient mental force not
to tap his barrels in vain attempt to reach
the White House at time when Blaine
and Logan are the candidates The talk of
his candidacy has been covert for other
schemes. The machine has been working

says: Those familiar with Mr. Tilden's re-

point is that he puts away Presidential
nomination he might have had; an act
which has few precedents. In
the present divided condition of
the Republican party it is an
act of a great moment and promise. 1t re-
moves from the Democratic party candi-

ofwhich he speaks has not yet proceeded so
far as to Justify despair OF the republic. And
we trust his solicitude for the peoples well
