Alfred Wilkinson, prominent banker
and Democratic politician, and an intl'
mate personal friend of Samuel j. Tilden,
recently paid visit to that gentleman
in his Gramercy Park residence. Mr..
Wilkinson avowed himself as having
leisure and the disposition to do active
political work this year, and his wish
and expectation Of putting in solid labor
for the old ticket. Mr.. Tilden respond
ed that he could not be made the Demo
cratic nominee under any circumstances,
and that there were younger and sturdier
men who could be looked for as possess
ing all the needed qualities of leadership.
Mr.. Wilkerson pressed him for an indica'
ton of choice and finally Mr.. Tilden in
pretty broad teims intimated that Dem
ocrat with good war record, asoldler OF
the Union army, should be the man. DE
declined, however, to be any more ex'
plicit.

The Chicago Conventions

WAslIINGroy, March 2l.-Chicago
and lis conventions are attracting more
attention from Congressman than public
buildings, and great many Of the leaves
OF absence recently granted have been
for the purpose Of allowing political
managers to attend primaries to settle
the question of delegates to the Chicago
conventions. Conversation with leading
men Of all sections shows that there is q
wide difference of opinion rs to the most
available candidates for both parties.
Pennsylvania is probably the earliest
State in the field, and already nearly all
the Republican delegates to Chicago
have been agreed upon, the preponder
ance of strength being in favor of Mr..
Blaine. In the Democratic ranks of the
Keystone ex,Speaker Randall is strongly
supported, and the S!h of July will prob.
ably find him at Chicago with unani-
nous delegation in his favor. An elcc.
ton was held at Philadelphia on We'd
ncsday for Republican delegates, and
here, too, Blaine carried the day against
the incumbent Of the White House. One
Of the representatives from Pennsylvania
said to me to-day that the lines were
tightly drawn at the Philadelphia pri-
maries, and the result was a complete
route of the machine element led by M. S.
Quay, a trusted lieutenant of Don Came
ron and President Arthur. Considerable
anxiety is manifested in all quarters as
to the sentiment of the Pacific Slope,
and Congressman from this section are in
great demand for their views on the Sit
uation. With the exception of Pennsyl-
vania the Congressional delegations are
sadly mixed, and no attempt is made to
solve the problem of Presidential prefer
enceS

Suicide of a Clild's Lover.


INDIANAPOLIS, IND, March 19.-W.
NJ. Dane, 90 years old, of Bentonville,
Favette County, became cnamored of q
l3.year. old girl named Ada Swift. The
parents objected to continuance of the
mans attentions TO their child on account
of her extreme youth. On Saturday
night Dane purchased two ounces OF
laudanum, giving Ada oDe.half and
swallowing the other half himself. The
poison failed to have a fatal effect in
either case, being an overdose. Yester.
day the father of the girl had Dane arrested
on charge of attempting to poison bis
child. Last night Dine procured pis-
tol and shot himself. He died shortly
aflerward. The girl is seriously sick.

Bccclcr On Protection.

"You believe that the next President
will be q Republican, | presume, Mr..
Beecher 2"
II think so, without any question. !
could name ticket for the Democracy
though" continued Mr.. Beecher, "that
would draw thousands upon thousands Of
votes from the Republican ranks and
carry the country without doubt. | am
no. going to do it, though"
"A trade ticket, of course"
ooh, l won't say" laughing; "I'm
not going TO help the Democrats that
way"
"But you think that free trade is to be
the is.ue?"
"Well, think the question Of reduced
taxation is the one question that is bound
to grow steadily in the future. I don't
think it will be the issue in this election,
bat four years from next November the
parties in the field will be upon different
ground from what they are to day."
"And you think they will divide upon
protection and free trade?"
II think the question of free trade
will be a far more vital and dcbatable
question then than it is going to be now.
With my very strong feeling on the sub.
ject of protection it is not with me simply
question of high protection or unbal-
anced protection, it is any protection.
Every single shade of protection that is
introduced into the tariff-and l suppose
that has got to be the mode of taxation !;
l don't think our people are intelligent
enough, much as they know, to allow
themselves to raise money by direct ;ax.
alton, which is the true way-but tariff
with moderate, with incidental protection,
is just like beetsteak with Incidental
strychniue; every single particle Of pro-
lection that goes in is poison. A large
section of the Republican party really
believe in high tariff, and acts according
to that belief. They are going to fight
it out on that line. While large part
of the Democratic party do not believe
in it, yet for political reasons they are
afraid to fight on that line. The appli-
cation comes in, He that shall save his
life will lose it, and be that lose bis life
will save it, If the Democracy dared
to organize this year they might lose the
next Presidency, but they would have
the Presidency following, with a long
term of service. But they don't dare to
do it. They are too hungry"
"Then you think there's no hope for
the Democracy ?"
"Well, as I say" responded Mr.. Beech
er humorously, IF they let me put up
their candidates aud lay out their CAM
paign for them they might stand some
show"
"If Speaker Carlisle were put up
would he be likely to pull through?"
81 won't say anything more about il" /"

Bismarck, the German chancellor; sp-
peared in the reichstag at Berlin and
made a speech in justification of the
course he had pursued in refusing to
transmit the Lasker resolution to the
reichstag. He said that he had recog-
nized the good intentions of the A meri-
can Congress, bat he was unable to har'
ness himself to the car of opposition.
The relations between Germany and the
United States had always been pleasant,
he said, and the German government
had always tried to cultivate them. he
declared he would have presented
the Lasker resolutions had he not been
prevented by their form. The resolutions
contained clause directed against the
policy which, in the emperor's name, he
had been pursuing and which Herr Las
ker had opposed for years. Once Bis
marck was interrupted by cries OF
"Shame!" from the opposition members
ofthe reichs.ag, and quite scene ensued.
The appearance Of Prince Bismarck in the
reicbstag is generally attributed to his
desire to maintain friendship with
America.

Samuel Mcdaniel, young farmer,
while blowing rear Island Shoal, Ga,,
one day last week, turned up a fve-gal-
lon jug of great weight. An investiga'
ton showed the presence of 1,9OO i've
dollar gold pieces, making a total OF
$500. The mystery was cleared up in
singular manner. McDaniel's grand
father was captain in the Florida war.
It was known that he was wealthy before
he left. On news OF his death in one OF
the battles with the Indians, his heirs
could find no trace of his money. The
fact that years after his only grandson
and heir should have found his fortune
is singular incident.
