Yorker to me to day who believes MT.
Tilden will on the 18th send letter 10 the
New York Democratic Convention de-
clin,ng 10 be candidate for The presi-
dency: "My State has sixty countess
eleven OF which have elected delegates
With Tilden OUT OF the way they will give
fifty.one votes for Flower and five Tor
Cleveland, with six delegates yet to be
appointed" He seemed himself surprised
at the meagre show for New York's reform
Governor. He thought, however, that
Cleveland would get much larger pro-
portion from the delegates OF the other
counties than he had gotten from the
eleven named. Mr.. Randall said this
morning that Mr.. Tilden will accept.
Hon. John T.. Harris says tonight that |
NAV state that he knows Mr.. Tilden will
be nominated and will accept.

MAN.

to-day: ~ believe there are great many
BurnHdes in the Departments here. and i
do not believe when they say there are so
many millions in the Treasury that 1t TO-
lows that the amount is really there. Inc
people want the money counted to see II
all Is right, and they want the Democrats
TO do il because they know then that they

GOOD things of Piedmont. No man
named but the Vermont Senator
can get the entire temperance vote
of New England, and yet he likes mint
juleps in moderation. Mr.. Sherman was
interviewed this morning, and remarked
that Messrs. Blaine and Arthur are killing
each Other, and that when one OF them is

plain the situation as it now is. he ex-
pressed himself as well satisfied with the
