STORY OF A NOMINATION.
How TiIden Talked Politics to Will
lam ii. English.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
There is another sorry in which Samuel
J. Tilden figures. the truth of which is
not to be doubted. 1t is of an interview
which took place in Mr.. Tilden's house
between the two gentlemen who were
afterward the democratic candidates for
President and Vice President in 1876. T0he
ST. Louis convention had not been held
but there was little belief that Mr.. Til
den would refuse the nomination. The
question was as to who should have the
honor of being his running mate. There
were. as il will be remembered, any num-
Der of aspirants, and Mr.. Tilden had or
iginally favored another than the man
who was finally chosen. Representations
were made to Mr.. Tilden by the friends
of Mr. English that the Indiana man
would not only prove to be a popular cam
dldate, but that he would be willing to
subscribe a fabulous sum to the party
campaign fund. Mr.. Tilden was too prac-
teal and cautious to be caught with any
glittering concentrations. He asked that
MIR. English call upon him IN New York
for a conference. \ week or so later Mr..
English made his appearance and soon
found himself seated in one OF the big
leather chairs in Mr.. Tildens library.
What followed must be considered one
Of the most remarkable political inter-
views that ever took place In this coun-
try.
"Gov. English" said Mr.. ridden. after
some preliminary conversation concern

your friends that you would like TO he

you are willing 10 subscribe handsome
sum for the campaign fund. Is this

being filled with gunpowder the other

saturated with acid. To explode this
