C., Aug. 8.—The Baltimore Sun hasa statement from Washington, under- stood to be from sn unquestionable Democratic authority, taking sharp fssue with Mantou Mar- bie's declaration about Tilden, and assertiog that they will excite surprisc fn many quarters and lead to angry controversy. 'The following extracts indicate it character: Tt is well knawn that Mz, Tilden Inviled some of the lending Lemocratato visit New York In No- vember, 1577, on the eve of the meeting of Con- grese. They went thers expecting to find some Plan of action either matured or prepared for con. To thelr sstonishment, Mi. Tilden definits _or indefinite Xrflpolhlnn ana no plan of any kind appeared to be formed in hls mind, e had a vague hope that Mr. Cenkling, Geo. Butler, Mr. Drexel, and others, from thelr position in the licpublican party, or their persanal relatlons with Gea, Grant, wauld ba rhle to axort sech an Intiuence at Washe Ington ns to prevent the consiiamation of the con- apiracy In Congress. At that time he corfaln) il not suggest any mode of tntforin Democratle actlon ‘or of confronting the Kepnblican leadera with a setticd and poeitive programme of poliey which would draw the line dietinctly -between slderation, had _no to offer, the two parties nnd enable public senti- ment to crystalize on one or the uther, Congress met on the 4tn of December, and from that time furward, until the Joint Com- mittes reported the bll in the miaie of Janvary, it was found to be wholly lnln!ll'lL‘Vh'h to gelany clear understanding of Mr. Tilden's views and wishcs, Members of the Senatn and of the llouse of Itepresentatives visited New York to confer with i on the subject in order 10 asanre perfect co-operation between the party in Congress and the Preaident.eluct. Some of them went as {nfor- mol commnitwes, and retauined severat davs in con- ference without reaching sny conclusion what- ever. ‘Thoy 'returnd - 1o Washington no wiser than they went away, uniforinly re- porting that they found Me, Tiiden nneettied In Judgment as to any messure of his owu, and cqually uncertatn hetween the various modes and alternatives suyrented by his visttors, 1f, there- fore, as Mr, Marble states, It e no secret now that upon thia tasue to resint the count of the Electoral vote by the Presfdentof the Kenate, Mr. Tilden counseled many of hir frienas in the leadership of the lloule who visited I1n New York during tho Christmas holidays nut only to stand bt to force debate firat in the House, then in the benate, ho coucenled that coutel from several lead. ing members who are #till living and can spesk for themselves. Mr. Tildon, the chosen leader af the purly, gave no aign. ad he lifted bis finger or In auy way posi. ttvely indicuted 8 purpose. he would have peen followed to any extremity, Ii¢ had his own chosun agents in Wuehingion speaking for him and acting a part that seemed to apitt with every changing scene, Col. Pelton, hianophew, and a atrong foliowing were cstaolished at the Arlinu- ton from the begluning uf the scesion, and man. sged the mutter s0 88 1ol to win_uny apecial ap- plause. The Electoral biil was the oftsprini, exitimate or otlurwiee, of thie hesitancy and donbt.
