leaders, with much of the magnanimity which
characterized their actions four years ago, per-
mitted the socalled stalwart members of the

He seemed to take no netiee of any body or
anything, and never opened his lips, while his
right hand and arm hung down limp by his side
and shook as with palsy. His face was pailfd
and pinched around the region of the mouth and
chin, and the whole countenance wore an ex
preston of utter vacuity.
The impression his appearance gave was that
of man in the last stage of physical decay, sus-
tanned on his feet by powerful effort OF the
will and the intellect The reporter, after a
rapid survey of the situation, concluded that it
was utterly hopeless to expect an interview. and
took his departure. satisfied that it would be the
extreme height of inhumanity to ask man in
such condition of physical collapse to run for
President of the United States. But the friends
of Mr.. Tilden insist that while his physical state

1t is clear to me that Butler has already got the
great. body Of the Northern Democrats in his
hands, and if there was not a solid South he
would surely be the nominee of this convention.
Butler means the labor question in. all it's forms,
and we. are not yet ready for it With the Re

what shape the Democracy might assume. But
Ter has balance of power now enough to dictate

convention itself with some hesitation.
