The assembling here Of the members OF
the Democratic State Committee and Of
prominent Democrats from all parts Of the
State has developed the fact That on open
breach has occurred between the Admin.
istration and Mr.. Tilden. No attempt is
made to conceal the supreme contempt
which Mr.. Tlden eutertains for Mr.. Cleve.
land and his advisers. The "sags Of
Graystone" feels that II be did not create
Mr.. Cleveland he at least consented to his
being born, and as to Manning and Whit
ney, he claims that he made them body
and soul politically. Without his support
and encouragement they wouid never
nave reached their present places either
in the counsels Of the party or members
Of the Cabinet. When Mr.. Manning went
into the Cabinet Mr.. Tilden felt an extra
ordinary interest In the success Of his pro-
tege. He knew that Manning was igno-
rant OF the elementary principles Of
finance, and go no undertook from his re-
treat at Greystone to shape the policy Of
the Secretary, aud was even prepared 10
supervise the most important Of his COM
municatidns to Congress and other public
documents emanating from the depart
msnt, but Mr.. Manning treated Mr.. I'll
den with such indifference, not to say in
gratitude, in the appointment Of q Col.
Eector for the Port OF New York that the
ireof .'the old MAJ" Is thoroughly aroused,
and he is now prepared to take summary
revenge for the slIghts put upon him by
the men he made. Mr.. Tlden wrote pri-
vate letters to Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Manning asking for the appointment OF j.
Edward Simmons, president Of the Stock
Exchange, to the Collectorship; but not
only did the President aud his secretary
decline to grant the request, but neither
has ever replied by letter to Mr.. Tilden's
epistle, and 1t has remained to this day
unanswered aud unnottced, the President
emphasizing the slightly not calling upon
Mr. Tilden when the former visited
Yonkerss before taking himself to the
North Woods for q month OF recreation
and pleasure.
True, Mr.. Manning called at Gaystone,
but he was received SO coolly that he will
never forget tne 1tl&lu aspecG u Tue VET
eran statesman. As told to me, the scene
must have been decidedly interesting.
Mr., Hlden was seated OF his table engsg-
ed In the examination Of some papers as
Mr.. Manning entered. The old gentle
man looked up, but without recognizing
his visitor resumed his work. Smith Weed
was present, and observing Manning's
embarrassment invited him to walk ont
upon the piSEzt. There the two engaged
III an animated II not angry conversation,
for Weed had some matters Of his own to
settle with the Secretary Of the Treasury,
and settled them then and there. The
programme Mr.. Tilden and Mr.. Weed had
agreed upon for the disposition oil the
spoIls Of the New York Custom House
embraced the appointment OF Mr.. Sim.
mons as Collector, William 2. Smith a.
Surveyor, and Democrat Of Brooklyn g
Naval Officer. The miscairiage OF their
plans made Weed exceedingly wFeth.
When the storm subsidized the gentlemen
we're called TO lunch, but Mr.. Manning
was informed that Mr.. Mlden had retired
for his afternoon siesta and had left orders
that he was not TO be disturbed.
