Tilden's Health.

NEW YORK, May 27.-Yesterdav ,
correspondent called at Greystone for
the purpose of verifying a report print.
ed in a morning paper regarding the
health of MI. Tilden. After WAITING .
few minutes in the reception room, Mr.
Tilden came in unannou1lced. He said
hat the report of his failing health was
a pure fabrication, and utterly without
foundation. That his health at present
was better than it had been at any time
during the past year, and that he had
merely run down to Greystone for a few
days to personally oversee some i'm.
provements that he is making on tha
place. He further said that be expected
to return to Gramercy Park Tomorrow

Tilden Will Probably Run.

WASHINGTON. May 24.--The editorial
in the New York Sun yesterday in favor
of rendering Tihttn the democratic
presidential nomination is the subject of
a good deal of talk among democrats in
congress. It is generally admitted that
the Sun speaks for Tilden, and it is
taken to mean hat he wants the nomi-
nation. A democratic senator said to-
day that from all he had been able to
gather he had no doubt of Tilden's de-
sire to run. This senator is from a state
that recently instructed its democratic
delegates for Tilden. The belief that
Tilden will be nominated prevails among
democrats in congress now.
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1884-06-04

IT is now thoroughly understood at
Washington that MI. Tilden will accept
the democratic nomination, and two
gentlemen who saw him in New York
report that he told them so with a frank
ness they did not anticidate. He has
been lying low until he found out wheth-
er he could get the nomination, and
that fact having been determined, he
abandons his policy of %reticence, and
generally whispers, "Your candidate I
will be-" One of the congressman who
saw Mr.. Tilden reports him as saying
that, while he desired to avoid the ex-
element of the campaign, which he
feels might impair his health, he is will
ing to comply with what appears to be a
unanimous call from his party and &C.
cept a nomination. He does not con
ceal his feeling that a second nomination
would be the greatest qualification he
could experience in his declining years,
and v en if the campaign should cost
him his life, he could not lay it down in
a better cause. There is a good deal
more feeling against Tilden, o that
his candidacy is assured, than there was
when it remained a matter of doubt, and
the democratic leaders say that before he
is nominated they want him to come
out and show himself, so that the party
can see for themselves what shape he is
in. AS one of prominence says, I'VE.
do not want a candidate hidden behind
a veil of mystery, like aiHindoo god,
with two Brahmins like John Bigelow
and Andrew A. Green to keep his face
and limbs cOvered.u

The Chicago Times has the following
sarcastic allusion to the generosity of
William III. English, the last democratic
candidate for vice president: "While
the Bourbon congressman were looking
for English, SEN, to extend their con
gratulations upon his sons victory, the
old gentleman was fastening away from
the capitol in a three cent car. This is
the story told by a Washington CORES
pendent, but as Mr.. English might have
saved three cents by walking, it is not
generally credited.n

The reasons for this were expressed bya

supposing they make a hit?" "Well,
then they grow confidential. They tell

BASE BALL YESTERDAY.
The vIrginias TO the Front-The Ironside
Beaten - to Z,

Beaten - TO 4.
The second Of the series Of three games
between the Ironsides and the Virginias
was PLAYED at the Virginia Park yesterday
afternoon. The crowd OF several hundred
persons who attended felt great anxiety to
see II the home boys would not put in q
better game than that Of Thursday.
The struggle commenced at 4:45 sharp,
with the home boys In the field. The Vir-
ginias presented the "Dugan" (" battery.
The Ironsides placed Williamson in the
box, with Derby behind the bat. Not
witbstanding the fact that Dugan pitched
Thursday, he pitched well, and left quite q
number of the visitors i'm the lurch when
" strikes were called on them. The Vlr-
ginias ratified Williamson in the first three
innings. scoring nine runs in the third
inning alone. Two home runs were made
by Glenn and Johnston. These were the
features OF. the evening. He placed ball
between centre and left-field. against
the fence under the carriages, and
ran IN over the plate in due time
before the ball could be sent In. Ex-
cepting the third inning the contest was
very close, and success was fought for
maniuIly by both clubs. Throughout the
remainder OF the game the Virginias struck
Williamson very lightly, they being blank
ed in every inning except the seventh. and
scoring only one run in that. The fielding
OF both clubs was very good, but the Vir-
ginias got away with the visitors by pre-
sentihg a stronger battery. The result was
score OF 13 to in favor OF the Virginias.
Below Is the detailed score:
