There is great doubt whether Mr.. Til
den viii accept the Democratic Presiden-
tial nomination if il is offered 10 him.
The statement Is made that he viii accept
il. and an equally authoritative statement
is made that he viii not accept it. Ifit is
his intention not TO accept under any cir
cumstances, he certainly ought to say so
in a way so authoritative that there would
be no room for doubt. 1t may be said that
he is under no obligation to say what he
viii do until the nomination is rendered
to him. This would be true in ordinary
cases. But this is not an ordinary case.
Nj. TiIden represents an issue which
many leaders Of the party think is SO
popular that. if urged in the approaching
campaign. 1t would contribute greatly 10
the party-s success. IfrepOrts are TO be
credited. he has stated that he
would not accept a nomination, and
that he has prepared letter
to that effect to be read at the New York
State Convention on the 18th Of June. In
the meantime state conventions are
being held and many Of them are in
structing their delegates for him. By
the 18th Of June nearly all Of the States
VIII have appointed their delegates. If
Mr.. Tilden should announce his determi-
nation at that time to decline a nominal
ton a very large portion Of the delegates
Will appear at the convention without
knowing what the will Of their con-
sttuents is. Representative Dorsheimer
is quoted as saving that Mr.. Tilden
would have made known his purpose to
refuse TO be a candidate ifhe had not been
persuaded 10 remain silent until the 18th.
Assuming that DOrsheimer is well in
formed il Is evident that those who per-
suaded Mr.. Tilden 10 Keep silence
had some purpose TO serve. What
is that puTpOses Is there a secret
movement on foot TO use Mr.. Tilden's
name TO get a convention Of uninstructed
delegates with the hope Of handling it
with ease and certainty in the interest Of
a clique, faction or Of some particular
candidate: 1t looks a little as if there
were; otherwise there would be no appar-
ent reason why Mr.. Tilden's intentions
should not be made known now. It is
Mr.. Tilden's duty TO make inquiries,
anu II an lMNLOptL use u otAH5
made OF his silence he ought 10
make known his purpose at once. He
ought to make his purpose known imme-
diately, whether his silence is made to
hide schemes or not, so that the
States which prefer him could
instruct for their next preference
when their conventions are held. Quite
a strong sentiment Is beginning TO show
itself for Mr.. Bayard. There is no doubt
that he is much nearer the hearts of the
masses Of the party than Mr.. TIlden is.
His high character and his admirable re-
cord as a public man have long made him
a prominent figure in his party in the poll
tics of the country. The sentiment Of the
party is towards Mr.. Tilden, only because
Of the hope Of making something out of
the fraud issue. Mr.. Tilden, however,
ought not to let the sentiment Of the party
drift towards him unless he intends to re-
spond 10 il in the affirmative.

Trinmnh Of The Worst Element.


The work of the Republican National
Convention is before the country and
opinions with regard to it are already be-
ing pretty freely expressed. A majority of
the party are no doubt satisfied, and
very large part Of the minority, perhaps,
think mat better nominations could have
been made. But it is a matter of more in
terest to the country to know what the in
dependent voters think. VIII they not
recognize the fact that the worst element
of the Republican party has triumpheds
Blaine has a record that no Republican
can contemplate with feelings of entire
satisfaction. If any candidate before the
convention represented that which is cor
rupt in politics Blaine did. 1t is worthy
of notice. also, that all the star route con-
tractors at the convention were Blaine
men. The Claytons, the Elkins and all
the others who have figured before the
country. at one time and another, in roles
that were. not calculated to excite the IN
mixed admiration of the people, were
shouting for Blaine. 1t will be interest
ing to see what the Republi-
can journals and politicians,
who were denOuncing Blaine before the
convention, will say and do now that be is
the chosen leader of their party. VIII
they fall into line or will they stand
aloOf and let the election 90 by default as
far as they are concerned? The nominal
ton of Garfield did not give entire salts
faction. 1t was not until the campaign
was well advanced that the leaders Of the
Grant faction forgot their disappointment
sufficiently to lend helping hand. The
history Of the Republican party shows
that when the time for action comes the
Republicans are found working together
for success. 1t is not safe to expect,
therefore, that the Republican party will
be weakened by the refusal Of any consid-
cradle faction of the party to support
Blaine. The worst element has triumph
ed, but the best element can be depended
upon to give the ticket active though
perhaps not enthusiastic support.
