 land.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The Mail and Ex-
 press to-day says: Rumors of bad break
 between ex-Governor Tilden and the admin
 istration have been rife for several days.
 They first gained currency early in the
 week at Saratoga and are now openly dis
 cussed in this city. To-day reporter for
 the Mail and Express succeeded in obtaining
 more than confirmation. He found that
 Mir. Tilden had not only turned his back up- on the administration, but had actually snubbed both President Cleveland and Mir.
 Manning. This information was obtained from a thoroughly reliable source on 8 promise not to divulge the names of the in- formants who are loyal Tildenites and prominent in both local and State politics.
 ''The story is an old one by this time" said one of the informants, t'and I am surprised that it has not leaked out before and there is no desire on the part of Mr. Tilden's friends to suppress it. In the first place the ap pointment of Postmaster Pearson to succeed himself did not meet with MT. Tilden's ap proval, but he eventually became reconciled to it as a necessary con- cession to the mugwumps, with the understanding that nothing more would be bestowed in the same quarter until the proper demands of the Democracy should be Go1 t1y sought Mr. Tildens counsel regarding suc- cessors for Collector Robertson, Surveyor Graham and Naval Officer Benedict and seemed desirous of showing some regard for his accommodations. President Simmons of the Stock Exchange was accordingly named for collector and Smith M. Wood for survey or by the Sage, who also suggested that it would be good policy to select a representa- tive Brooklyn Democrat for naval officer"
 'tHow did the President appear to receive these suggestions?" The answer was that he did not seem to regard them otherwise than favorably. At this point the narrator of the story was joined by another gentleman who, although of lesser prominence, stands quite as high in the esti- nation of MT. Tilden. He freely joined in the conversation and furnished some points which might otherwise have been overlooked. From the two it was learned that after MT. Clevelands departure MT. Tilden, to make assurance doubly sure, wrote to both Sec1e- tary Manning and Secretary Whitney to urge the President to carry out his suggestions. According to the story, neither of the officers thus appealed to by their political creator made any response. MT. Tilden afterwards wrote to the President himself with the same resnIt This was on the eve of the annoipt- ments. When the selection of Messrs. Hedden Beattie and Burt wes announced the Sage's indignation knew no bounds. It proved that Cleveland, Manning and Whit ney had no regard for his wishes. Further more, Burt's selection was an additional evil dence of Cleveland's disposition to pander to the mugwumps. When President Cleveland came to this city to attend General Grants funeral it was loudly announced in advance that he contemplated visit to Greystone and conference with MT. Tilden. He start ed in due time, but on arriving at Yonkers was met by messenger from Greystone who informed him that Mr Tilden was indisposed and could not be seen. Thus rebuffed the President proceeded to Albany. He imme diately telegraphed to Mr Manning, whom he had left in this city, to visit Grey stone and see what ailed Tilden. Manning did as directed, but found the Greystone at mosphere uncomfortably frigid. He made his way to the library with confidence and there encountered MT. Tilden and Smith M. Weed, both of whom met him in the most formal manner. Finding the atmosphere of the room too chilling MT. Manning sauntered out on the verandah followed by MT. Weed. Once out of earshot of the ex-Governor Mir. Weed proceeded to pitch into the Secretary. He reminded him chat he owed his present high position most to MT. Tilden's friendship and that without the same influence Cleveland could never have been elected. In like manner he paid his pliments to MT. Whitney and gently logged his hearers memory regarding the liberal contributions made by MT. Tilden and him self to the cause when campaign funds were needed and as to his own personal efforts in MT. Cleveland's behalf. Manning tried to explain that Cleveland alone was, to blame, but did not succeed. MT. Weed proceeded to add to his discomfort by telling hiri that Tilden would henceforth be found E'In such 8 fight MT. Tilden will come out on top every time." The interview was ended by the appearance of 0 servant who summoned the pair to dinner. The master of the house was not at the table. Mr. Manning inquired for him only to be in formed that he was indisposed and had re- tired to his room. The Secretary expressed a desire to see MT. Tilden before leaving. ftHe does not wish to be disturbed" was the lackey's reply, "and instructed me to tell all who might inquire for him that he could not be seen" Thus dismissed MT. Manning exchanged parting courtesies with MT. Weed and was driven to the depot How and when he reported his humiliating experience to MT. Cleveland is not known.
 MT. Weed has for years been devoted follower of MT. Tilden. At present he is under cloud on account of his connection with the 1876 business. He is known to be a most liberal campaign contributor and de- esro hoo of ,11,-xr 1r,ci1 eration and personal compliment than for its profits.
