PENNSYLVANIA. Tilden's Muchinations In the Joystone State. PrirAprurinia, P, Feb. 16.—0n Tucsduy’ next the regular February municipal elections will take place in Pennsylvania. This fact would cxclte no attention were it not for the circumnstance that a certain gentleman, restd- ingg n New York City, fu Gramarey Park, by the name of Samuel Jones Tillen, Is fntereated in acertafn ward fight, From the extensive do- muin of natlonal potltics Mr.Tilden has descend- ed into the battles of a slngle ward or district of Philadelphia for a purpose. 1lis efforts are matuly dirceted to save Willlam McMullln, the notorlous 'Squire, who {8 the right-hand man of 8, J. Randall, the Speaker of the National House of Representatives, Itvmediately after the campalgn had closed lust November, nmd the Republicans of Pennsylvania had achleved such a nagnitizent vlclurf’ roports were clreit- Inted that attetpts wuuul be made to carry Penusylvania for Tilden o the delegates to the Nutioial Conventlon, In this fleht Samnuel J, Randall was havd pushed by the Republicans, nugd he appealed to Tilden, who, the Democrat, say, turnished 85,000, with which the Speaked thie House purchused tax-receipts enough to en- ablsthe Democrats to elect him. Tu return for tt1s R ndall Is to carry the Pmiladelptia Dote- gates to the Nutfonal” Nominating Convention for Tilden, but he'cannot deltver the gouds, In order to do this be must retain the servlces of the notorious 'Sguire \lm\lulnnl who {51 candi- dato tor the Sclect Councll of Philudelphila, and the Republicans and «issatistied Deaocrats are fighting bim, Bestdes Randall, Tilden has fow admirers (i this city, sud the Walluce wing of the party, which (ncludes all the leaders exeept Randail, ave ighting MeMultin for the purpose of brenking down Randall, oud at the same time defeating ‘ilden for the nomiuation for the Presidency. B MeMullin wud Albert Flefcher—ihe latter i the Suporintendent of the Document-Rooms of the House—manage Randall's politinl busiuess in this clty,, Fletcher wus *shelved ' at the firat movenient in the primary eleetions of the Demogrucy in Janunry, uud now those who op- pose Tilden and _laudall are working to defcat MeMullin in the Fourth Ward, wiich i3 the hot- bed of Dewoceraey and Randall'a stronghold. THden reachied our still further nnd took & hand in tho Harr-Wallacs fight, fn the hope of breal fug down the Senator. Willlam L. Scott, of Erle, wos enlisted n his favor, und llundrlck B, Wrizht, who desires to zive every man in the country a mule und a farm, was enabled to re- raln his scat in Congress through the aitl of "lden’s *bar'l.” In return for ull this they ure to cleet delegates to the Natlonul Conven- tous for the resident of Gramerey Park. Tilden hus reached out nlso in w vain endeavor to cap- ture the Democratie City Commuttee of Phila- delphin, hoping therehy to control the delerates to the Btate Convention fn 1830 from here, which help to clcet the delegates to the Natfonal Con- vention, The Pbiladelphia Democrats, except Randall, are in favor of “Thowas J, Bavara, ol Delaware, for Prestdent in 1880, und they d‘u not disgulse the foct sinco Tilden lins come to the front in city polltics, - ‘The Bayard men are moving first to kill off McMullin, by which they will weaken Rundall and keep bim from carrviug out his bargain.

"T'he fight opens in Penusylvania now, beeause the City nud Couoty Comuiittees have a hand fit naming the dele- gates to the State Conventlon, which ciccts those to the Natfonal Conventlon, MeMullin has proved useful to the Republicans many times in local polities, nnd for what he Las done he muy bo elected Ly thelr aid, The matter is doubttul, howover, und the result of the contest 1s looked forward to with great Interest, Muuleipnt Electlons, FRANKLIN, Po,, Feb, 18,—1he city election was leld to-day. r.
