The Philadelphia Ledger's New Yorh
| correspondent says: "Among the Demo
cratic masses 1t is idle to Disguise the fac
that there is growing dissatisfaction
with the awful retioence which II. TildeI
| persists In in reference to his acceptance o.
non acceptance OF the nomination If |
\ were rendered 10 him. The feeling seem
to Re that there is such thing as push
ing reticence too far, especially as tn,
fact is used by soheming politicians I,
make Il work in opposite directions t,
accomplish certain ends OF their own
There Ia also feeling that the peopl
have no occasion to get dowi
on their knees as supplisnt
to any man for the accept
Snoe Of the highest office II
their gift, and that II the great Demo
cratic party are dependent thus upo,
the arbitrary whims of one man It ha
come to pass that is simply pitisble
Under this pressure Of public opinion
therefore, the statesman of Gramerc,
Park may be constrained to change tn
programme, which, it is alleged, he ha
laid down for himsslf-namely, to ga,
nothing and to obfusoAte everybody a
much as possible until the meeting q
the national convention, when he will b
in position to decline or accept, lust a
he happen to be in the humor. Th
more astute OF the leaders recognize tn
| existence of this feeling, but, Of course
they are powerless to respond to 1t, a.
, rests with Mr.. Tilden himself to say wins
he will do or what he will not do"
