4 TILDEN IN KINGS COUNTY, A Counter Conference to the Anti- | Tilden Conference. ——_-_—_—_ FRIENDS TO THE FRONT. AES What New York Is Expected To Do by | the Governor’s Supporters. THE LIST REVIEWED. Our Governor and Thurman the Expected Ticket. os The Kings county delegation, named at Utica tor the St. Louis Conveution, were then, are now and propose to continue, strong “Tilden men” first, last and all the time, The extraordinary conference of politi ers at Albany, reported exclusively in y: Hena.p, coupled with the active anti-Tilden exertions of Chief Justice Sandford K. Church in Kings county itself, stimulated the principal democratic leaders on the other side of the East River to most active moves ment yesterday, resulting in a determination which may best be understood by a perusal of the following suggestive interview held with the Hon. Thomas Rin- sella, chairman of the St. Louis delegation trom Kings county, and well known throughout the State as a thick and thin supporter, and, indeed, an advancer of | Governor Tilden’s Presidential claims. Mr. Kinsella, after the exciting discussions of the Kings county leaders, was found in his office, where the tollowjng cofverention was had:— “Mr, Kinsella, will the Kings county delegation sup- port Mr, Tilden at St. Louis earnestly and in good faith as well as apparently #” “Most assuredly 1t will. A majority of the delegates favor his nomination; tbe Convention instructed them to vote as a unit, and the same Convention presented Mr, Tilden as the candidate of the democracy of the Empire State ina resolution prepared by bis friends, and against which there was rota single voice raised m opposition either in the committee or in the Con- vention, Certainly every St. Louis delegate who was at tho same time a member of the Utica Con- rontion is in honor bound, as I look at it, to carry put tho expression of the will of bis party, authori. tatively expressed. While the same obligation resis on all the delegates from this State, 1t rests upon the tlass I have referred to in an especial sense. 1 advert so this because in a list of delegates said to be openly or secretly opposed to Tilden—tirst published, I think, 1n the Utica Herald—I recognized the names of many gentlemen who were delegates at Utica and who have been selected to go to St. Louis.” “Po whom do you particulariy refer!” “Well, to several of the gentlemen from the city of New York who are to be at St Louis as delegates, I refer also to MR. LITTLEJOUN, who isa power inaconvention, He is put down as ppposed to the Governor's noraination. I have the best | teason for knowing there was no authority for this at Otica, and Mr, Littlejohn was a delegate there, The Herald also includes in the list Mr. Pierce, | pno of the delegates from this county, and for no better | reason than that he 18 “a warm friend of Governer Seymour.’ If this were a satisfactory reason there is y a democrat in the United States that might not | be included in the list. I would not like to be excluded | fom it myself, There has never been a man in this | country Who has had the same hold on the aflections of the adherents of his party which Governor Sey- mour has, I do not think Henry Clay even was as much beloved by the old whig party. 1 had rather bo Seymour than President.’? “Do you think there is any probability of GOVERNOR SEYMOUR'S NOMINATION at St, Louis?” “Not the slightest, In my opinion, Governor Sey, Mour isa man ot honor, and there are reasons, some of which have been made public aud some of which need not be, which preciude him from being a candi- date or from accepting the nomination if it were pressed upon him. Had he not once been a candidate not eveh his own influence could prevent his nomina- tion this year, The unwritten lay of our politics is, I believe, held to be that a Presidential candidate, beaten once, shail not run again for that office, and the possi, bility of compelling Governor Seymour to take the re- sponsivility of twice leading his party to a national de_ feats onc I am sure not thought of by him nor by any man who is not rather an enemy of some other candi- fate than a friend of his, In 1868 the democrats of this section believed that if we nominated Chase wo coutd elect hit, and through him restore the old party to power, Mr. Seymour, despite his own well known fish, accepted that nomination and was de- feated before the people, who are not fond ot reversing @ verdict once recorded 1, like very many others, eame home from the Conven- tion that year fecling sure that the contest was decided ts far ag any hope of democratic success was coucerned. This is a sort of experience, 1 can tell you, no democrat tares to undergo twice. I have known the Governor to decline to accept an office which he could. have had by merely saying he would accept it, and which, I believe, he would prefer to the Presidency itself—certainly to the mere chance of it—I refer to the United States Senatorsbip from this State. believed the interest and the honor of his party in his Btate demanded the selection of the gentleman who fow fills the position, and Seymour wont to Albany and used his influence, publicly and privately, in favor of Francis Kernan.” “Do you believe Tilden will be nominated? If yes, why?” “L think be will, And to begin with, let us see what are the chances of the prominent candidates named— not against him, for this does not happen to be the sit- ation, but associated with him as party leaders In my opinion the SECOND CHOICE OF THE PARTY in this State would be Senator Thurman, of Ohio. Thorman has failed to secure the support of the dolega- tion from his own State, and if he bad obtained it after seh a contest as took place in the Convention his op- ponents would bave carried the fight to St. Louis, Again, the democrats cannot hope to carry Ohio, with Thurman or without him. NEW YORK 18 THE PIVOTAL STATE this year, and it is not possible to carry New York on & platform which would command the united support / of the Oluo democracy, and even if we had it success in that State would be doubttul, yet carried it for @ democratic Presidential candidate. | With a divided or a hostile delegation, and a State not counted, back of him, there is not an adequate political motive for Mr. Thurman’s nomination, His influcnee in the West, which is great, woudl be secured by gi ting his consent to accept the second piace on the | Sicket, and Tharman {8 partisan enough and patriot | enough, I think, to strengthen and balance the ticket | in this way. With Tilden and Thurman the country would have security for the present and the future. COPRNOR N_NDRICKS, OF INDIANA, igon the wrong side of the financial issue, A groat | deal of the business and rude pecuniary strength of the | campaign comes from the merchants of New York, With Governor Hendricks as our candidate we could | hope for nothing from this interest, except its opposi- fiom, aud with New York as the pivotal State, this would be fatal Next, there is | Benator Bayard, of Delaware, who bears a revolutionary | Dame, and the very bost character as a high toned | siatesman—a man who, ip corrupt and evil times, was | Bayard is among the young ‘of action during the heated political period whieh is loging.

Besides, Mr, Bayard | represents but asmali State, and itis pretty sure to cast its tbree electoral votes for any democratic candi- date. Weil, there is left MR TILDEN, He bas strength in what is considered his weakest point, He has no large personal following of hot and enthusiastic partisans suckas Douglas had, as Seward There will be no political ‘‘swashbucklers” at St. Louis hallooing for “Tilden or nobody,’ while promoting op- position by quarrelling with anybody and everybody who may venture to say that there aro quite as good and as strong men im the party as he is Bat he will have in his own, and in nearly every other State delegation, men who will calmly and clearly state his case, a8 that of a candidate who fully meets the pressing issues of the time— reform and economy in public affairs—‘a policy’ in the government and a poliey in the interest of business and industry and labor—a policy looking toward the business concerns of the country and to the Testoration of the old prosperous times for which repub- Ncans and democrats alike are hopefully and impa- tiently waiting, he will be presented as ‘a candidate who can be elected,’ and this argument will go a great | woy with politicians. Again, if the democrats are to | succeed New York State must be carried, and this isan issue the New York democracy havo in their own hands, Democratic leaders, go called, in this State might possi- bly beat Tilden at home, but he can be beaten by no- | body else. Look at it While the party orators are on | the stump our tax bills in this State will be in the hands of the voters, and they will show that the ex- penditure of our State government has been reduced | from $14,000,000 to $6,000,000 during Tilden’s adrainis- | tration, or more than one-half, In the rural districts, | where a dollar is said to look ‘as big asa cart wheel,’ this will tell immensely, If Tilden can accomplish at Washington what he has done at Albany there will be no question of finance to trouble us, and tvery indus- | try will bound upward when the hand that depresses it | is lightened or removed, There is, I think, a general | belief, shared im by both parties, that Tilden can be elected, and this is the winning of half the battle be- tore the ball is opened, Of tho lending candidates, so j called, I do not seo anything with as good a chance as Tilden, and the democrats do not | seem to look ferward to any ‘Great Unknown,’ for it happens, singularly enough, that, with large opportunities and an all-sufficiont majority in the Honse of Represeptatives, there is not a democrat who has added anything to the national reputation ho had when the session opened; and no democrat in Congress had a very extended reputation then, with the possible exception of Kerr, who is physically un- equal to the place he now holds,” ‘ “But don’t you-evade one contingency— THE PAILUKE OP THE NEW YORK DELEGATION to support Tilden earnestly?’ “I do not count upon it, nor anticipate it, and | be in better hands, for thie delegation is unitedly and earnestly for Tilden,’? “Suppose the delegates from New York city should say at St, Loufs that Tilden could not carry New York State??? “Lave said Ido not couat on anything lke this, Remember that Tilden is Governor of this State, and has been in office but a single term. 1 presume nobody supposes that if he ts not nominated for President he will be disearded ‘a’ a candidate for re-election hore, Yet to do eithor would be suicidal. It would lose New York to the democracy certain, and WITHOUT N#W YORK THE DEMOCRATS CANNOT WIN, How could any New York man say at St, Louls that Tilden could not carry New York and then come home andrenominate him for Governor? Anything else than bis nomination to either office is not to be thought of, Tassume.” Well, if there be any spocial opposition against Tilden coming from the old canal interest it seems to me it will not show itsolfin insisting that’ he shall remain at Albany for the next threo years, To sum up:—I believe Samuel J. Tilden can be elected President, and I believe all sections of the democratic party want to win. The issue is now in thehands of the democracy. If they should fling the chance away $$$ there is more than one precedent for their folly; but. there must be an end to everything, and I assume there willbe an end to this in the election of Tilden and Thurman as President and Vice Presidert.”” PRESS COMMENTS ON CONKLING. Baffato Commercral:. ‘hat Mr. Conkling is steadily coming to the front in the race for the Presidential nomination at Cincinnati is a fact which has for some time been very encouraging to his friends and is now so palpable that it cannot be denied by his enemies In the West particularly, where at first it was supposed that his candidacy would not be well received, his popu- ; larity is increasing with romarkable rapidity. On this page wiil'é found a lot ot quotations from repub- | lican journals in that section giving evidence of the solicitude with which our friends out there are calcu- Jating the chances of carrying the Empire State, and the genuine satisfaction with which they would hail the nomination of the Man of New York as the candi- date who could surely save that turming point in the grand contest.” Elmira (N. Y.) Gasette:—*‘Roseoe Conkling is fight- ing in the Presidential contest with brave determina- tion. He is daily overcoming every obstacle placed in his way. By a master stroke of policy in the appoint- ment of Don Camoron as Secretary of War he has suieceeded in gobbling up the State of Pennsylvania. By cunning qnd deception he has a good portion of the colored clement of the republican party working for him. This is especially so in the North, where mass meetings and conventions are being held to endeavor to hold together the colored men of the North, and so influence the colored votes of the South in his favor.” | Norfolk Virginian:—“From present indications we are inclined tothink that the prospects of Senator Conkling for the republican nomination at Cincinnati are better than those of any of his competitors, He already has the New York delegation, and the two together, it is fair to presume, will exercise a control- ling influence in the selection ot a candidate. Besides, | the influence of the administration will be exercised on | the delegates from all the States, and the power of | party patronage can scarcely be over-cstimated in a contest of this nature, Many of the delogates from the various States are alr pledged to Conkling, and of | those unpledged to any one Conkling wiil probably secure the lion's share. His chances for the nomina- | tion are much better than either Klaine’s or Morton’s, | and we should not be surprised to see him nominated | almost without a straggle.? | Cincinnati Gazette:—“‘It is the opinion that the nomi- | nation of Conkling by the Cincinnati Convention is | much more likely to occur than that of Blaine Itis | by no means certain that he will not lead on the socond ballot, Some time ago we had information from Wash- | ington, froma well informed source, that Conkling | would carry the Pennsylvania delegation on the second | ballot, the condition being that Don.

Elihu B, Washburne as General Grant’s Sneeessor—Governor Rice and General Butler “Present Their Views. Ships to Cuba and Troops to Mexico—An Inter- esting Financial Statement, Boston, May 25, 1876. “What Massachusetts demands and the country needs is a man of the Bristow type—not mecessarily Mr. Bristow himself, but some one who fills tuo ideal measure which is suggested by the popular thought of the Secretary of the Treasury, Sueh a man seems to be Mr, Washburne, of Illinois, concerning whom, as Grant’s probable successor, the late Hemry Wilson and agreed more than two years ago,”? So says Governor Rice of Massachusetts, a long headed, successiul merchant, who bas been a leader in ‘ew England for many years, and bas acceptably filled all the bigher offices in the gilt of his fellow citizens, and who js regarded, here and elsewhere, as one of Mr. Bristow’s warmest supporters and most intelligent allies, Ina conversation with a Heganp corrospoudent this morning he said:—‘It is a great mistake to caleu- Jate ou the whole of New England ag for or against any special candidate, because, as matter of fact, there is ag great diversity of fecling here as elsewhere. There is no more reason why Massachusetts and Maine should vote together than that Massachusetts and New York should, It is a fact that there» are certain Teligious and educational peculiarities in New England that give a tone to the beliefs aud habits of our people, throughout our entire borders, For instance, thé anti-slavery semtiment But, as the nation beeame,more homogeneous, that specialty became national, and gradually the abolishment of slavery was an accepted desideratum everywhere, But politically the New England States do not work to- gether. New Hampshire 1s always uncertain, so is Connecticut, Rhode Island can never be counted on, Neither can Maine, while Massachusetts is devotedly attached to the principles of the republican party, and Vermont 1s even more 80. BRISTOW 18 THE FAVORITE candidate in Massachusetts now. If @ popular vote were to be had to-day, no candidates being named, the vast majority of the popular vote would be cast for Bristow, t Corrusponpent— Why ? Governor Rick—Because he represents our ideal man; and let me show you how naturally Massachusetts is led to this conclusion. Civil service needs no reform {nh our State or local government. There have vecn but three or four city treasurers here since the or- ganization of Boston as city or town, There have been but three or four auditors, and there never was a City Clerk whose name was not Samuel F. McLeary. Tho same rule obtains in our State government, which is pure, clean qnd tree from entangling alliances, We havo no defalcations. So you see Massa- chusetts having good government at home knows the |, value of it, and naturally at @ time like this would throw her influence with tho man most likely to give the same bent to the general government and adminis- tration at Washington. Such @ man we believe Mr, Bristow to be, Not thatwe know anything of him as apolitician; nor bas he commended himself to tho country by any marked financial ability. But in his detection, pursuit and punishment of the Western scoundrels, the whiskey thieves, and so on, he has sbown honesty of purpose, independence and perse- verance in the right j AS FOR MR, CONKLING T havo always regarded him as the foremost debater in Congress, but our people don’t know him. He is re- garded as a Grant man and more of a political worker: His Custom House affiliations are distasteful and would injure him here, He is not at all our ideal man and bas no strength here. Massachusetts simply docs not know bim, and 1 believe he would not be acceptable to our voters. MR, BLAINE has very warm friends here as elsewhere, but he fs generally regarded as an adroit politician—too adroit. People don’t like to have aman about who is too smart. It ts like the cat, which held up by her four feet, when dropped is certain to fall on her fect. There is an alr of the little joker about Blaine. ‘Now you see it and now you don’t.”” Coxkesronpext—How about Blaine !n Pennsylvania? Governor Rick—Well, Blaine was born there, you know; but he won't have Pennsylvania. Her compli- mentary vote will be cast for Hartranft, undoubtedly; after that it 1s difficult to say, but I shoula think Cam- eron would find it hard to compel those delegates to vote for Conkling; and Bristow or another, I should say, had more chance there than Blaine, ‘The peoplo dislike bargaining and trickery, and 1 should regard it next to impossible for Grant and Cameron to carry into eftect any arrangerent for Conkling, the nataral rebound {rom whom would be in the direetion of Bria- tow. You see " GRANT MAS No STRENGTH therefimselt, aud if an attempt mado in the interest either of Grant or one so directly his representative should be successful there would be a revolt, H CornEsroxpext—A third pariy? Governor Rice—Yes, a third party. Mr. Charles Francis Adams 1s @ great man and a good nian. It) would afford me pleasure to vote for him—if I had the chance. But he will never be acandidate. He was | about right in bis interview with the Hxrarp in saying he could not even be elected a town constable in Mas- sachusetts. And yet he is a very estimable man, Now, in some respects GOVERNOR TILDEN | meets, according to popular view, the requirements of | our ideal man, He is not much known here, of course, but where he is known it is as an opponent of fraud and a destroyer of corrupt combinations, That would give him acertain degree of strength, but he is by no | manner of meuns the choice of Massachusetts, 4 have | thought for a long time past and Vice President Wilson agreed with me, in a conversation I bad with him some two years ago, that RLINU B, WASHURNE 1s the man most likely to succeed Grant. Just look at Mississippi Valley, so that territorially considered he has @ tolerably wide range. He comes of a successfal family, which is a great point.’ He has always been suecessiul himself, When he was in Congress he fought eveything and everybody on appropriations, and after a while became known as the “Watch Dog of ; the Treasury.” He fought me on our naval estimates, till T told him the Almighty made one great mistak firet and bad the benelit of nis advice, in which event the ocean would bave run up to Galena so that thet could have been a navy yard there. Why the peopl Wasnburne’s district always thought the navy was a kind of seaport luxury for ich they ought not to be expected to pay anything. And Washburne encouraged that feeling. Well, Washburne made Grant, Of course, if Grant bad not been a soldier | Washburne couldn’t have made him, but never mind that; he made hiro, and everybody knew it and ad- mitted it, At the close of the war the country unmis- takably demanded Grant; but Washburne, more than anybody else, engineered the campaign to success, Grant acknowledged it, He acknowledged it so thor oughly that he laid everything he had before Wash- ‘burne and told him to take his choice, He chose to goto Paria Then he thought would like to be in the Cabinet a while before he went to Paris, and Grant set aside Jim Wilson, for whom tho place was intended, and gave it to Washburne. Washburne held it afew months aud thon went abroad, He loft Congress with a good record. He was AN ORIGINAL REFORUER before the rest of a8 were beard of, and went off with flying colors to his new sphere. Thore ho has beem equally fortunate.

He interfered in behalf of the German prisoners and gained for them many comforts. He would have the vote of every German here. During the gwign of the Commune he was the only foreign min- | ister im Paris, The reat ran away. He stayed at bis post and kept his flag flying. He displayed courage, cooluess, faith in his'fiag, He did his best to protect the Archbishop of Paris, and, although unsuccessiul at the time, the very Frenchmen themselves, after tho Passion was ended, thanked him for his endeavor. Now when he comes home, he comes with all things in his favor and nothing against him He js not mixed. up with Crédit Mobilier, back pay, contracts, treasury troubles, political squabbles or anything else. He will bea very strong man. And I think, too, that bi id Grant understand each other. Grant has his peculiari- ties, no doubt, but he certainly does not forget his friends, and Washburne was the friend who took him when he was nobody and made him what he is Grant knows it, and, {1 occasion offers, Grant will hesi- tate long before he says ‘no’ to him and “yes’’ to some one else, However, when thoy all mect at ‘THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION they will be ciphered out in their availability. Conk- ling and Blaine will probably show all their strength at first. Bristow, U think, will not, Hayes will flod his greatest strength 1m the fact that he 1s not known. If by an unaccountable surprise, or even impulse, an immediate agreement on any of the prominent can- didates shouid be had, of course “Mr. Washburne’s i name would not be mentioned; but if, as I incline to believe, there ia difficulty in securing unanimity on any of these, Ishail be greatly mistaken if Washbarne doesn’t come in at the close with tremendous strength.”? The Governor has just returned frown the Centennial Exhibition, where be appeared before the magnates on behalf of 300 students of the Schoo) of Technology, akking for some special, arrangement in their behalf. These young men are going down to the Exhibition and will spend three or four weeks, camping out at night and studying the arts and sciences as developed in the Ex- hibition in the day. They are not sona of rich men, and if compelled to pay fifty cents every time they go in forthe purposes of study, it would become burden- some. General Hawley touk the ground that if special arrangements wero made for one school they must be for all schools, and declined to interfere. Governor Rice argued the case from the educational standpoint, and although as yot no suggestion of a change has been offered he is hopeful that the Board will see the pro- pricty of making some arrangement by which scientific schools can avail themselves of the offerings of tho Ex- hibition without oppressive charges. Your correspondent subsequently found GENERAL BUTLER sandwiched between Judge Hoar on the inside and Theodore Tilton on the outside, but, despite that extra- ordinary pressure, in his accustomed philosophical and critical mood, ‘Lam not so certain,” said General Butler, “of the success of the republican party at the coming election, The democrats will have a solid Southern vote.

EXHIBITION. A Larger Attendance of the Working Class Yesterday. ; Arrival of Exhibits from Victoria, Australia. A Business Meeting of tiie Judges. Pusaperuta, May 26, 1876, The commercial aspect of the great world’s cara- vansary cannot fail to strike the most careless visitor. From the moment the gate ts passed this commerciay side of the shield is always turned out and everything smacks of speculation, Comparisons with the Vienna Weltausstellung seem to be getting odious, but to state the difference in a few words be- tween the two exhibitions viewed from the outside of the buildings, what Vienna had that was attractive in architecture and artistic arrangement of the grounds nature has partly madg up to us in the charming landscape in the midst .of which | fa the great settlement that has sprung up in a@ night and is to be destroyed ina day, The situation is most dolightiul. Let us sea how we have taken advan- tage of it, The exacting utilitarianism of the most important buildings is not in sympathy with msthetic elements of architecture, and to the eye that bas not the instructive American delight in straight lines, tbo buildings may not be wholly without serious fauits, ‘The arch is not only the most agrecable shape for the roof of an exhibition hall, like the Industrial Palace, for jt gives one the impression of lightness and strength combined, but it gives greater chance for display of goods in trophies and for comprehensive views of the sections and, indeed, of the whole interior. THE MAIN HALL is wide and low, propertions that are nelther pleasing to the eye nor calculated to facilitate decoration, either by direct ornamentation or by the arrangement cf ex- hibits. There iw nota vista inthe main hall that is agreeable to look upon, and what trophies there are, fail to give dignity to the exhibits they adorn. It 1s cosmopolitan, this arrangement of the goods from the various countriea. You may admire Swiss carv- ings and find you have been testifying to the skill of the Flemings. Swedish stuffed soldiers guard Japanese porcelains and no country except. those which are enclosed in a pen of their own con- struction ean help elbowing their neighbors, MACHINERY HALL isan appropriate building, It looks like a great work- shop on the outside, and this should be so. Now there are two avenues Which cross each other near the centre of the grounds, as anyone will see who takes the trouble to examine the map. Belmont avenue Iéads away from the, main entrance straight across the grounds and up over a low hill outside the enclosure, At present this, the first vista that meets the eye of the visitor, is anything ‘but enticing, and what it will be when the ugly freight cars are removed and the roadway made passable for anything that does not run on iron tracks may be Judged trom tho buildings that are prominent features of the view, As you look down the roadway Cook’s neat pavilion on the left and the photograph gallery on the right, with .its neighbor, the tcket office, ‘that flies a flag, but does pot open its doors, occupy the foreground. But these buildings are nownere. The French restaurant takes the rag off the bush. For the position it occupies, this is certainly the highest structure that over disfigured a landscape. It is low and bald, with shapeless outbuildings presenting blank sides that put to shame the ends of unfinished blocks of city houses. Striped awnings help hide the front, and a black funnel is stuck down somewhere back of the main part, ameng the sheds, The government building has not a in oil and water colors (the the latter utterly Bowman; and several other fine arts exhibits, A case in which a thowsand shades of Lay aes y ‘are. produced, 1m Com tion of the renter, anda Ceokeret: pag ored photographs are Cane The ent cargo fortunately was tnsui for 000, which estimated to cover nearly all the ioss, ie BUILDINGR, Governor Bedle, of Now Jersey, will be the orator snealty tf ctatoptten af oe vation eee tidcation of nce of the invitation ext ww bim by the gub-commitiee of the General the Presbyterian Charch having been received day, The unveiling, which was to have taken Ss week umong ployment State re; pe pose of pater | but the handiwor!
