SAMUEL ]. TILDEN.

Samuel ]. Tilden will go into histo,
ny as the first, if not the only man, who
ever declined a nomination for the
Presidency when it was handed him
ON silver waiter. Mr.. Tilden's con.
duct in this connection has been
statesmanlike and altogether without
reprOach. There were some who were
disposed to accuse him Of dallying
with the wishes of the party and main
tanning an inexcusable reticence while
anxious Democrats were eager for him
to declare his intentions. A careful
consideration of the circumstances,
however, will relieve the sage OF Gram
Grey from any such accusation. Mr..
Tilden had never been directly APP
pealed to by any person or body having
authority to say whether or not he
should accept the Democratic nominal
ton. In the absence of such an appeal
it would have been objectionable ego
tism for him to have published his
positive declination of an honor that
had not been rendered him. He did
say in his letter to the Iroquois Club
that he could not undertake the lead
ership of the party and as soon as the
clamor for the old ticket became so
universal he came forward with the
letter recently written to Chairman
Manning.
The CHRONICLE some time ago OPP
posed the denomination of the old
ticket 1t did so because it thought
the cry of "Tilden and Reform" which
had such telling effect in the canvass
thatw was to elect a successor to the
corrupt administration of Grant had
lost its force and vitality and would
not do for a watch-word in the coming
campaign. The necessity for reform
Is not so apparent now as ii was then,
and in the opinion of the CHRONICLE,
a ticket more representative of the
live issues OF the day would have been
better. This opinion was modulated
by the universal acclaim that came up
from all over the country for Tilden,
and the Chronicle could but acquiesce
in such general cry.
But Mr.. Tlden's letter has put all
this at rest and the party must look
elsewhere for its nominee. He has
retired from politics and his declining
years are covered with more honor
and command greater respect than
those of any American statesman who
has sought the shades of private life
since the days of Washington.

SENATOR INGALLS,, Of Kansas,
created a sensation Monday by at
lacking Senator Brown, of Georgia,
charging him with faisifying and
committing forgery on the public
record. Brown had made a speech
in the Senate which contained some
criticisms on Ingalls, and the Sena-
tor from Kansas claimed that he
altered the language OF the speech
and interpOlated things that he
didn't say before it was sent to the
printer to be published in the Con-
gressional Record. Senator Brown
kept cool throughout the whole til
rade of abuse that was poured upon
him and simply said she would re-

taken notice that the Democrats Of

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

Mr.. Tilden's declination to become
the Democratic nominee for the Pres
idency by no means leaves the party
without fit material from which to
choose its candidate. There are sew
eral tickets that can be put in the field
that win commend themselves both for
availability and the personal strength
of the men who compose them. That
incorruptible statesman from Delaware,
who like the old chevalier Of the name
he bears, is without fear and without
reproach. would make leader Of i'm
mense personal force and no man
would be more available in what are
considered the doubtful States of the
East His nomination would insure
the soidity of the South and with any
prominent Western Democrat for the
second place he could carry the coun-
try. Bayard and Mcdonald would be
an invincible ticket. aa.
There are many who think that a
Western man should have the first
place on the next ticket nominated by
the Democrats, and such an opinion is
not without reasons to support it.
Looking to the West for a candidate
the name of Allen G. Thurman brings
itself to the front and that old veteran
stands like tower OF strength amid
the Democratic host Thurman and
Cleveland or Thurman and Flower
would be a ticket, considered from
the point of availability, very much
like the one the Republicans carried
the country with four years ago and
would win for some of the same rea.
sons that gave that ticket success.
Cleveland and Carlisle is a ticket
not without points to commend it. II
would unite the party on the tariff is
sue, if nothing more, and that is in
itself a weighty consideration. Cleve'
land is the choice of the disafected
Republicans of the East and would
doubtless carry large Republican
vote in New York for the Democratic
ticket as he did two years ago. Chas
Francis Adams, in a recent letter said
"Could the Democratic party be gal
vanized into that degree of monetary
good will which would lead it for once
to astonish the country and itself by
putting forward such ticket as Cleve
land and Carlisle, the result in No
vember would not be in doubt for {
moment"
There is no lack of Presidential
timber in the Democratic forests, bu
there is need of wise selection amongst
that which is available. The tricks
and trafficing that generally rule in
nominating conventions should be
squarely set down on at Chicago for il
is only by judicious action in choosing
its candidates that the party can hope
to succeed in the coming election.

cultivation of voice she has no superior
among amateurs in America. have
heard Nilsson and was was charmed.
I have been no, less charmed at hear
ing Miss Jonnard.S The fact is that /
have never heard any singer with
whom l have been more pleased.
What rare treat there is in store for
your peoplel I am satisfied that if
the citizens of GAINESVILLE were fully
acquainted with Miss Jonnard's power
of song, there would be no room in
the hall sufficient to accommodate the
people who would crowd to hear her."
We understand that there are
to be several persons from Nashville,
gentlemen as well as ladies, and that
the concert will in every particular be
grand affair. Miss Herrick and
some one from Nashville will favor the
audience with Rotations. We advise
everybody not to miss this opportuni-
