WASHINGTON. Aug. There is great deal
of CONSERVATION at Democratic headquarters
this morning. over letter signed f'Veteran
Observer" which appears in the New York
Sun this morning. This letter is only COM
municstion to the editor, but as it is printed
under the caption of "Never Too Late to
Mend" with all the emphasis of double leads,
it evidently bears the stamp of Mr.. Dana's
approval, which is the reason for its effect up
on the party. The letter is in the nature of
lament at the action of the Democratic Con-
vention in ignoring Tilden and substituting
Cleveland. 1t concludes with these words:
But it is too late now to mend the matter.
No, it isn't. 1t never is. Let the Democratic
National Committee tell Mr.. Cleveland that
his nomination was mistake at any rate, or
premature, and he cannot hesitate to retire,
for he must see that that result would secure
success to the ticket at once and great credit to
himself. But would Mr.. Tilden, in that event
be persuaded to consent to the use of his name?
Mr.. Tilden is patriot, as well as a statesman.
He would do anything to serve his country.
He has no false pride. His consent under such
circumstances would be the browning glory of
his life. And the people would all say Amen"
