program WHICH IS III tue emu 10 tCaNe /
Roswell p. Flower the only availa-
BILE candidate.
In my intercourse with leading
Democrats of Congress / find a de-
termination, Notwithstanding Mr..
Tilden's positive declination, to
force the Sage of Grammercy Park
to accept the nomination at Chicago
in July. They argue that he is the
only man in the nation who can be
elected on the Democratic ticket,
and when they tender him the NOM
nation unanimously as they propose
that he cannot and will not refuse.
| slid to leading Democratic
member who talked after this fash
ion: "From what / know and learn
of Mr.. Tilden's condition the worry
incident to campaign would kill
him" "Well said he, if it kills him
he will die in a good cause, and kill
or cure we will nominate him and
he will be elected" If the reason
ing of these gentlemen is correct,
the Republicans have a walk-oyer
as it is clear to the mind Of your
correspondent that Mr.. Tilden viii
not run, but that the program here
tofore outlined in these letters will
be fully carried out.
The boom started, or rather res
directed, for Mcdonald viii be
short-lived; the Democracy have
not the courage of their convictions,
and while Mcdonald is about the
best exponent Of the principles they
actually hold, they have not the
courage to stand up and make a
manly fight for him and these prin-
ciples. They will in their National
convention. try to dodge the only
issue that makes them a party, and
throwing principles to the dogs, go
in for expediency and the man with
the largest barrel.
Mr.. Morrison's speech in the
House on Tuesday in support of hi:
bill to reduce import duties, was
quite a dispassionate and able free
trade argument. He showed tina
the Democratic party, to be consls
tent, must stand by the doctrine Of
q tariff revenue only. off the pro
tective policy is to be the continu
ing policy of the Government" HI
. said, cit will be, and ought to be
intrusted to its friends, the Repub
lican party"
On Tuesday the President sent t,
the Senate the name of Charles Z
Coon, Of New York, to be Assistan
Secretary of the Treasury. Tn
, Senate confirmed the nomination on
Wednesday, and Mr.. Coon entered
upon the duties of his new Office
this morning. This appointment i
highly gratifying to the employee
of the various Government Depart
ments here, as they feel that it i
! on the line of true civil service re
! form Mr.. Coon was assistant chic
of one Of the Divisions Of the Treas
ury Department, and is an exceed
ingly courteous gentleman, and al
able official so far as he has bee
tried, These qualities won for hin
his present distinction.

in the House, probably on Monda.
