While the journal had another choice, il has
no doubt that the collective wisdom and
opinion of the party, as expressed by its

1t is too soon to forecast tho final concen-
trRtion of the Tilden forces of tho country;
aud it is specially difficult 10 anticipate the
result in the absence Of any known indication
Of preference by pilden; but another week
will pretty clearly determine whether New
York is to exercise her commanding power
by cordial unity in favor OF Gov. Cleveland

Tilden refused 20 take tho nomination in
1850 because Hendricks declined to take the
second place, thereby rendering tho nOmina-
tion of tho old ticket impossible, Hendricks,
for months past, has longingly hoped for the
vice presidential nomination, and Mr.. Tilden
now has his revenge. No democratic tears

him Of rotortng TO miserable bubble and
evasion, and charges that his friends made th'
pledge for him as they were authorized to do
and that no WAS in honor bound to fulfil
these pledges or stay away from tho conYen
tion,- PiOaeer-PTeSs.
