From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June 7.-Some sensation
was created here to-day BY the double
loaded editorial in the New York Sun de-
nving that DIR. Dana had called on Mr..
Tilden at Mr.. Dorsheimer's request, and
also denying that Mr.. Tilden had read to
Mr.. Dana a letter declining to permit
his name to be presented to the Ma
tional Democratic Convention rs a
candidate for President. The article
states, however, that Mfr. Tilden will not
be candidate or accept the nomination.
Mr.. Dorsheimer stated in an interview to-
day that the SUMS article was absolutely
correct. He had never requested Mr..
Dana to call on Mr.. Tilden, and Mr.. Dana
had never told him that he had read any
such letter of declination as that referred
TO in the newspapers. He added that such
letter Is In existence, and In his opinion
will be presen' ed 10 the New York State
Convention on the 18th.
