Snubbed.
NEW YORK, August 22.--The Mail and
Express says:

He found that Mr.. Tilden had not only

but had actually snubbed both President
Cleveland and Mr.. Manning. This in
formation was obtained from a thor
oughly reliable source on promise not
to divulge the name of the informant,
who is a loyal Tildenite and prominent
in both local and State politics.
"The story is an old one by this time,"
said he, "and am surprised that it had
not leaked out before, and there is no de.

appointment of Postmaster Pearson tc
succeed himself did not meet with Mr..
Tilden's approval, but he eventually
became reconciled to it as a necessary
concession to the mugwumps with
the understanding that nothing more
would be bestowed in the same

was on the eve of the appointments.

When President Cleveland came to this
city to attend General Grants funeral,
it was loudly announced in advance that
he contemplated visit to Greystone,

room too chilling Mr.. Manning sauntered
out in the veranda, followed by Mr..
Weed. Once out of earshot of the ex-
Governor Mr.. Weed proceeded to pitch
into the Secretary. He reminded him
that he owed his present high position
most to Mr.. Tilden's friendship, and that
without the same influence Mr.. Cleveland
could never have been elected. In like

Whitney, and gently logged his hearers
