Col. Il. Clay Condo. Of ST.

g Col II Clay Condo. of St. Louis, an
old supporter of Hon. Samuel ] Tilden,
who has Just visited that gentleman in
company with several members Of the
Chicago delegation said to a reporter the
other day
I called on Mr. Tildcn at 5ramcrcy
park with some Chicago gentlemen, who
were delegates at Washington, to get the
convention at their place Mr. Tilden
received us very cordially. He conversed
on different topics, and had US shown, by
Mr.. George ". Smith, his private secre-
tary, all through his new Creamery park
residence, Mr.. Tilden being with US most
of the time"
You have seen MI Tilden often in
the last eight years; how does he compare
now in health and appearance with when
you first saw him?''
We'll, he seems to nc in about the
same general condition that he was in
1876 AMI 1880 physically and mentally
so far as ] could discern in all nv obser
walton, both in conversation with him and
in general appearance. His step is firm,
his eyes bright, and his voice as clear as
ever since l have known him
After leaving his residence, the Chi
cago gentlemen expressed themselves as
highly pleased with the attentions shown
them by the sage of Gramercy park.
They were very much pleased, and all of
them remarked that nothing had given
them so much qualification as seeing the
man himself in so much better mental and
physical condition than they expected tc
find him, from what was said in the news
paper reports. They said, quite unani-
mously, that he was good for twelve
years"
From Gramercy park we went to Tam
q many hall There we SAW some of the
sachems and asked them who their can
didate was They claimed that TammaBJ
hall had no candidate, but preferred {
New York man to any other. They sale
that Tammany hall would go solid fol-
Tilden, Flower, or Hewitt. or any other
man whom the Chicago convention
named. That's just the way they said it
We inquired if that was John Kelly's
views, and they said yes. that was the
sentiment of the whole hall"

The position of the New York. STIR,
newspaper said to be the property of Mr..
John Kelly, and which speaks for him
and TAmmany, is very significant at this
time. 1t removes every doubt which
troubled a large number Of democrats who
in 1880 desired. but feared on account OF
the position of Tammany at that time, to
nominate Mr. Tilden, It removes every
doubt, if there was any, that the old
ticket can carry New York, The Star
ROW says;
"A good many Western aud Southern
contemporaries have expressed an eager
desire to know how New York in general
and Tammany in particular feel about the
movement to revive the old ticket IF,
in the judgment Of the democratic party,
a. well as in that Of the friends Of Mr..
Tilden. it is the best and wisest and safest
policy to place once moro in the field the
ticket which was elected in 1876. no dem
ocrat has right to object; and if, setting
all personal considerations and individual
ambitions aside, the democracy, through
their representatives in national conven-

Now that warm weather has come

three hours each week for small con-
sideration and we are more than satis-
fled that the business men of the town
could well afford to "chip in" and fur
nish that consideration. If it was ad-
yertised and fully understood that such
a concert would be given the town
could be crowded with people every
Saturday evening and the merchants
would more than make back sheir fifty
cents or a dollar each, besides their
own pleasure in listenins TO the music.
