CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-The Times will pub
lish an interview with John Donnesberger,
a prominent Democratic citizen. He
called upon Samuel J. Tilden at his Gram
mercy Park residence. Donnesberger
saws: sMr. Tilden received me very cour-
teously. He is very feeble. He impressed
me with the idea that his health is failing.
| Weak as he appeared to be, he insisted on
showing me all through the house, even to
| his bed chamber. He talked politics in q
general way. He told me, or rather gave
me to distinctly understand, that he was
| disappointed in not receiving the nomina-
| ton again four years ago. He feels tha'
he was unjustly dealt with in '76, but for
| the peace Of the country he did not insist
| upon his rights. / believe from our con-
| versation that he would like to receive the
nomination again. He feels that it is due
to him. His mind is strong. He 10 very
hard Of hearing. and only whispers in oon.
| versation. He holds your hand while talk
ing to you, TO steady himself. He
| does not like Hendricks, and from what
he told me, I don't think he wants Hen

| him. He told me he had been pretty we'll
| all the past years until about three weeks
| ago. He complained of not feeling so
| strong, but felt that the Presidential nom
| ination was due him. He wants to be the
candidate again. There is no doubt in my
mind about that" continued Donnes-
berger. "He gave me that impression in
| our half hours conversation. He is men
tally very strong, and displayed a wonder
full knowledge of public affairs. We had
no exchange on the new tariff, or on the
| party platform. Generally, whenever any
| subject came mp, he would revert to the
fraud practiced upon him in 1876, and
every time he spoke on that he seemed to
me to be very sore and a sadly disap-
pointed man"
A subcommittee Wants Informa.
ttOn.
WARRINGTON, Feb. 26.-When DR.. Nor
vim Green, President Of the Western Union
Telegraph Company appeared before the
SUBJ Committee of the Senate on Post
offices and Postroads to-day. Senator Hill
asked that ell contracts with the Press
Association be laid before the committee.
DR.. Green requested that the question of
furnishing the Subcommittee with copies
of contracts with railroad companies. cable
companies and press associations be re-
ferred to the Whole Committee. He
claimed that neither the subcommittee,
Whole Committee, or the Senate had the
power to require the witness to produce the
said contracts. Besides, copies Of them
cannot be made without the consent of the
Board Of Directors that they be produced
without the consent OF the other parties Of
the contracts. DIR. Green declined to fur
nish information concerning the receipts
from the Gold & Stock Telegraph Com
pany, from cable contracts, etc. He said
there was nothing in the contracts which
he was not willing the committee should
know, but he declined to nsw on general
principles. The enquiries were linguistic
rial in their nature.
Senator Hill-You are q public corpora
ton, are you not? Congress has a right
to legislate in the matter, has it not?
"No, sir. Not the least in the world"
replied Gwynn, counsel for DR.. Green.
Senator Hill-Do you deny the right of
Congress to regulate your interstate
business?
Gwynn-No; but Congress has no right
to interfere with the management of our
private business.
, Senator Hill cannot agree with you
on that. Iconsider the questions pertinent.
~Gwynn-very we'll, We will try that with
you any day.
DR.. Green here said he had just received
q telegram from William Henry Smith,
General Manager OF the New York i West
ern Associated Press Association, in rela-
ton 10 what he, DIR. Green, was reported
to have said yesterday. He asked if the
committee would ask Mr.. Smith to appear
in person before the Committe, as that
} would be better than to receive a telegram
