ALBANY, July "A special dispatch
from New York to the Albany Eueniny
Journal says:
"Samuel J. Tilden and Andrew H..
Green on Sunday afternoon called on a
prominent New York journalist, whose
summer home is near Greystone. They
drove in Mr.. Tilden's carriage and spent
some time at the journalists house. Al
though II was Sunday the subject Of politics
was touched on, Mr.. Tilden discussing the
presidential situation without reserve. He
said be would not mind the strain Of the
canvass. He thought he could endure this
all tight; what he dreaded was the four
years wear and tear after he should be
elected, the idea that possibly this demand
on his declining years should not be made
on him after the campaign not appearing 10
have any place In his mind.
"He stated freely that be personally pre-
ferred that Governor Cleveland should re.
ceiye the nomination Of Chicago. He said
he had made known this preference In a
direction where il would do the most good.
having sent word to his friends and 10 in
nuential Democrats TO that effect. he dis
cussed Senator Bayard and other candI-
dates. Bayard, he said, would not do for
northern voters. His war record would be
exceedingly damaging.
"1T. Tilden talked Deliberately IN his

Tho Democratic Convention.

A Chicago special says: The features OF
Thomas Jefferson, stephen A. Douglas,
Andrew Jackson, and Horatio Seymour
will beam upon the Democratic National
Convention. The pictures Of the patriotic
statesmen who are to do duty for
the decoration wifi be placed at
points in the hall where they will
command view OF the entire gathering.
The only Official actoi the committee on de-
coration Is a committee was to quarrel over
adding the face OF Tilden to those OF Doug
las, Jackson, Jefferson, and Seymour. The
Ssge's letter OF declination decided them TO
put him up along with the rest, the oppo-
sition having been provoked by belief
that he was . candidate. Now, however,
since II looks as II Tilden might be nom.
mated after all. the committee are once
more divided as to the wisdom OF in
Guiding his face and form among the
others. They think the presence Of his
picture might be misconstrued rs an effort
TO boom him. The committee are on a
still-hunt for four pictures OF JET
ferson, Douglas, Jackson, and Sey-
mour, OF the same size, In oil. Gal
lcries have been rsnsacked, storehouses
explored, and private houses prospected
without finding four pictures that are
Of one exact size. The committee win,
therefore, have to take what II can get.
The stage will have simple flag OF the
Union draped about 1t, and II II is decided
to use Tilden's picture 1t will probably be
placed at the bottom Of the stage, where IL
is difficult to see II. The decorations are in
the hands Of Foster, Of Cincinnati, and as
much Of the material used was left over by
the Republican Convention the expense
will not be very heavy. There will be
great profusion Of flags, and, though the
decorations will be Democratic, they will
be In good taste and not tawdry.

defeat OF the MORRISON bill that we cannot
forbear to retaljate by commenting upon

what the Post Of yesterday says as to the

which were manifested By Mr.. RANDALL. on

"Tbe contrast between the loyal dsvo-

principle OF Democratic policy was at Issue

That other fundamental principle OF
Democratic policy was the MORRISON tariff
bill which the House Of Representatives
not long ego killed Of.
Now let us zee how the Democrats Of Mr..
MoRnsox's own State treated him. Letus
expose their "traitorous conduct" Day

Just So.

The Washington Post says very seri-
ousiy:
Beginning with Alabama and ending
with Wisconsin twenty-four OF the thirty
eight States In Democratic Convention have
declared for reduction OF the present war
tariff"
"If this Democratic sentiment Of twenty
four States In every part OF the country he
not the Democratic doctrine on the tariff.
then the party has no opinions on any sub
iect."
Right you are for once. But there is a
vast difference between that simple state
ment and the doctrines which have been
attempted 10 be palmed OF upon the coun-
try as those OF the Democratic party.

The distinguished consideration With
which the journal treats the ex.Conieder-

denunciations OF the ex-rebei brigadiers
who don't vote that ticket, and are, there

subject, and the Democrats Of Illinois
should not undertake 10 anticipate the wis
dom Of tho assembled Democracy Of the
nation. The passage Of this tariff plank Of
this time would, he said, endsngcr the sue
cess Of the Democracy Of the State and
nation.
Who replied to Mayor HAnnisos! Read;
Zion. w. r. Morrison was called for
and received with sumuls Of applause.
He proceeded to opposefho motion, saying
that II what was wanted by the Democracy
Of slIipoi. Was that the necessities Of rcve-
nue. should be provided for. and that there
after the tax-gatherer should stay his hand.
let them declare Il. II they wanted tariff
for protection, let them say so. The peo-
pie could not be deceived by words. He
hoped the gentleman who had preceded
him would be nominated aud elected Gov
ernor, but thst his motion would be de-
fcaied.v
What was the RESULT Read again:
"Infense excitement and great confusion
followed, numerous speakers struggling
for recognition NJ the same time. Finally
Il WAS decided 10 cali the roll OF the coun-
ties on tho question OF striking out the in
structions to the State delegation, a. moved
by Mr.. Harrison. This process was DC
eompanied by cheers by the friends and
opponents OF the motion az the chairman
announced the votes OF their delegations
for or against. At the conclusion OF the
roll-call the result was announced 10 be |:
For striking out the instructions 653,
against 623--a majority In favor Of striking
them out OF 30. The platform as amended
was then adopted by civa-voce VOTE"
Surely, after that action In Mr.. MoRRr'
soS's own State, there can be no reason to
fear that the Democratic National Conven-
tion will lay down a platform containing
the MORRISON plank, or any similar one.
Mr.. MORRISON was elected delegate at
large TO Chicago, and Mayor HARRISON "a
virginisn by BIRTH was nominated for
Governor. So both sides were satisfied.
The Democratic National Convention will
follow the good example.
