,.a. ,enU a A Candidacy.

OF big and little note strayed, by som,
chance, into the corridors of the Gilsey
House yesterday, where Gov. Hoadly, OF
Ohio, is stopping. They s,ood up by the
hotel clerks desk and discussed politics In
every phase under the sun. The visitors
began to arrive at 8 o'clock, and from then
until evening there flowed q constant stream
by the clerks desk. .stl
How many visitors has the Governor
hadW was asked of the hotel clerk.
"About one minute" was the reply, az
he sent up card and turned to answer
new intruder. In the lobby and reception
rooms of the hotel the conversation ran
upon the merits of the Ohio candidate, and
it seemed to be the general opinion that he
is fairly in the race for either the first Or
the second place on the ticket. The
Governor himself was not visible
until late in the morning, when he
came down stairs, and with his quick, light
step, entered the reception room to greet
an acquaintance who had been kept
waiting for some time. AS he walked
across the lobby he seemed the picture
of health and buoyancy. He was clad in
modest suit of gray and nervously
twirled his spectacles as he stood and
talked. Those who conversed with Gov
enor Hoadly found him very reticent upon
political matters, though when questioned
he disclaimed having any serious thoughts
of a nomination. He said he was not
solicitous to define his own position, which
the public may view as they see fit to re-
gard it. When asked his opinions regard
ing the strength and availability of partic-
ular candidates he invariably declined to
express any opinion, though referring to
all, particularly to Governor Cleveland, in
complimentary terms. ~
To a reporter he said that he had no DO
litical business whatever in the East, hav-
ing come on with his family to attend the
commencement exercises Of the Yale law
school. whore he is to deliver an address to-
day, and also to pay visit for few days
to his maternal uncle, exPresident Wool
sey. of Yale College.
'.Will you see Mr.. Tilden while you are
heref asked the reporter. AK Hs AZ
81 probably shall do so upon my return
from New Haven"
'Do you still think it the duty of the
Democratic party to nominate Mr.. Tilden,
desp to his declinationP
III think, as have always thought, that
the nomination OF MIR. Iiluen would be by
far the strongest the party could make. l
have always been q Tilden man and for the
be, that the old ticket is entirely out of
the reach OF the Democrats, no one can re-
gret it more deeply than T."
Can you consistently give your views
Of the political situation and Of the duty
of the party as regards the platform to be
adopted at Chicago"
"You must excuse me- l should prefer
to say nothing at present. Ask me ques-
tion which is not so very delicate and l
will try to answer" he added smiling.
"What are the prospects of the Demo-
Gratis in OhioH'
~ believe they are good-or rather.
may say think there never was 80 good
Presidential year as now, and will add
that think this opinion will be emphasized
at the work of the Convention, for cannot
see how the party, with so many admirable
to choose from and so much ex-
cellent platform material, can fritter its
chances away. Yes, sir. we shall carry
Ohio in October mark what / say"
"You leave this afternoon for New
HavenN
81 did intend to do So" said Governor
Hoadly, "but have changed my mind and
will remain until tomorrow"
The report circulated that Mr.. Mooney,
John Kelly's Secretary, was to have po-
itical interview with Governor Hoadly
vas not verified yesterday.
