TILDEN AND EATON. ‘WasmiNaroN, February 20.—A gen- tleman from New York, who is in the confidence of Mr. Tilden, says that he is in favor of ex-Senator Katon, of Con- necticut, as a presidential candidate. Eaton's name has not been mentioned hitherto, and this is expected to start a boom for him He is now a member of the house of representatives, having been succeeded in the senate by Mr. Hawley. Mr. Eaton is nearly seventy years of age, but is still vigorous and active. He is a bourbon in politics and a high tariff man, which is one of the reasons given tor Tilden's suggestion of his candi- dacy. It Eaton caunot be nominated, Tilden would prefer Flower, it is said, as a man who can unite the two factions of the democracy in New York. Itis won derful how much weight the opinion of the Sageof Grammercy Park carries. The location of the convention is in doubt until he is heard from and his views in regard to candidates are discussed with the greatest interest, Pat Kelley, the Minnesota member of the national democratic committee, ar- rived here to day, after spending some days in New York, and he says Mr. Til- den will be heard from at the meeting of the committee. He does not say how or by whom, but is very emphatic in the assertion that Tilden will not be a candi- date for the presidency, and the fact will be made authoritavely clear. As Mr. Kelley is a Tilden man and on terms of intimacy at Grammercy park, his words are entitled to consideration. PAYNE HAS NO CHANCE. The arrival of the members of the state democratic committee, on their way to Washington for Friday’s meetings, changed politics at the hotels during the past two orthree days, where the prevail- ing topic of discussion bears on democrat- ic candidates for the presidential nomina- tion. Conclusions drawn to-night from the drift of discussion eliminate Senator- elect Payne for the presidential race. Chairman_Barnum says Payne is too old to stand the strain of a canvass, and that the probable changes incident to a demo- cratic administration demanded younger and more vigorous candidates. I was talking last night with a man whose rela- tions to Payne are so close as to make his utterances semi-authentic. He said: If Payne's name should reach the con- vention, there would follow such an an- nouncement that would then conclu- sively withdraw him from the list of can- didates. His family look on his senatioral election as a fitting close of his public life, and the office of senator is one that will suit his tastes. They are thoroughly opposed to his becoming a presidential candidate, and he agrees with them that the emergency is not such as to justify him in laying down his life for his party. i I asked my informant how he regarded Tilden. He said Tilden was not himself a candidate, it being impossible for him to make the canvass in such a debilitated condition. McDonald, he said, was strong in the northwest, but the party at large seemed to him to be at sea. His rsonal preference is ex Governor English, of Connecticut, who was right on the war question and is right on the tarif. FOSTER'S MISTAKE, Columbus Special to the Inter-Ocean, The attention of the people has been 80 intently given to the floods during the past two weeks that Jittle talk of a polit- ical nature has been indulged in. In con- versation with Representative Washburn of Lorain county, in regard to the politi- cal outlook on the Western Reserve, the gentleman said: ‘I am free to admit that there was general surprise when the Boople of my secion heard of Charley 'oster's declaring that President Arthur could not carry Ohio, and that a feel- ing on the reserve still prevailed against him, because of the assassination of General Garfield, It is true that there was some feeling at the time, but 80 far as chere being any feeling against Mr. Arthur now, is the merest twaddle. The moat bitter ugainst President Ar- thur, have not one word to say against him now, the people recognize the fact that men may honestly differ, and be- cause Mr. Arthur sided with Senator Conkling is not at all strange, and he certainly had a perfect right todo as he did, There were those t went so a8 to charge the responaibility of the as- sassination to Arthur and the stalwarts, but when the question was put: ‘Would Garfield have n goilty had Arthur people saw the utter absurdity of such talk, The fact that President. Arthur carried out the very work that Garfield had commenced, to the very best of his ability has had the effect of placing him upon a higher grade than the country had reason to expect, He has made no serious mis- takes, He has doue his duty in an open and straightforward manner, and to his credit be'it said his wise policy has strengthened the party in the state and nation. There is no longer any talk talk about half-breeds aud stalwarts, and it is my honest conviction that President Arthur would receive the full republican vote on the reserve should he be the nominee of the Chicago convention, Yes, Charloy Foster made an error, CUMBACK OF INDIANA. Chicago Tribune. The Hon, William Cumback of Indiana is at the Tremont. Mr. Cumback has been & prominent factor in Indiana poli- tics for twenty-five years, He defeated Holman for congrees in 1854, and head- ed the Lincoln electoral ticket in 1860 He has been lie: ieutenant governor of the state and deputy eflh&n of internal revenue for the Fourth district, Speak- ing with a reporter for The Tribune yes- terday, Mr. Cumback said that politics in Indiana were at present in a process of formation. Public sentiment had not shaped itself, The democrats were for McDonald for president, though there was some doubt whether he would have a solid delegation. If they thought they could compass his nomination they would be a unit for him. He did not believe that McDonald could be nominated, be- cause it was questionabtle whether he could carry New York. That state was essential to both parties, and nominations would have to be made with a view to ing it. Another thing which would militate against McDonald was his lack of funds, a very necessary adjunct nowadays to political success. Botween these two objections McDonald was apt to fall. The democratic nomination would be made entirely from a New York stand- point. Intne republican party it was much the same. The man who could hold out a prospect of capturing the large electoral vote of the Empire state would be the man. This would be the weak- ness of both Arthur and Logan. Logan had no strength in the east worth speak- ing abont, and he had no mone{. Ar- thur would find his opposition in his own state. He had just come from New York, and in Utica, Syracuse and several other towns he had heard influential pol- iticians say that Aethur would not be able to control the vote of New York in the convention. If he did, it would be by methods which would insure his defeat at the election. Indeed, it was cortain that there would be a powerful lobby at the Chicago convention from New York whose main purpose would be the prevention of Arthur’s nomination. The best men in sight were either Sen- ator Edmunds or Ben Harrison. Both were strong, honest, and not identified with factions, yet had always been con- sistent republicans. He had heard some talk of General Sherman, but did not attach any impor- tance to it, nor did he believe General Sherman would really be a strcng nom- ination. It would be like Hancock’s nomination, or a bottle of champagne— all phiz and enthusiasm for the first few weeks, but would soon filter out. The fight in Indiana was going to be close and doubtful. Logan and Arthur both had strength, but he did not think either would control. Unfortunately for the president, the distribution of federal patronage would injure his chances. Everything had been given to Indianapo- lis, and this had caused much feeling in the rest of the state. This fact would also affect the nomination for governor. General Streight was very popular, but he lived in Indianapolis, and there was a disposition not to give that city anything because it had too much already. Con- gressman Calkins stood the best chance. Pension Commissioner Dudley could probably have the nomination if he wanted it, but he did not. The democratic nominee would proba- bly be General Isaac P. Gray. DAN SICKLES ON LOGAN, Gen. Sickles, a life-long democrat, is quoted by The Washington Capital as being in favor of Logan for president, and among other qualifications he says: “After nearly twenty yearsof public ser- vice since the war no one has ever shown that he has used his place or influence for the acquisition of wealth.” It may be strictly true that Gen. Logan kas not let his ambition run in the same direction that Mr. Blaine or Mr. Sherman have followed. But, while he has not ac- cumulated much money, he has done tol- erably well by his family, and has had, from time to time, a goodly number quartered on the government, where they have drawn remunerative salaries for the smallest amount of service. The list is a fair one: Cyrus Thomas, the entomologist, has for a long time held state and other offices. He is brother-in-law of thesena- tor’s wife. John M. Cunningham, his father-in- law, postmoster. Sam_Cunningham, his nephew, ap- pointed from a clerkship in the Chicago postoffice to a lieutenancy in the regular army. James V, Logan, brother, postmaster. Susie Cunningham, clerk in Washing- ton. Mrs. Mary Lunningham succeeded.John M. as postmaster. Dr. Logan, cousin, foreign minister. William Tucker, son-in-law, paymaster in the army. Enoch Blanchard, nephew. and a pro- nounced democrat, postal service, Mrs, Jenkins, cousin, postmistress and department clerk. A. Logan, Jr., a son, supported by the government as & cadet at West Point, Mr.. Cunningham, brother-in-law, just n;:.poinwd postmaster at Birmingham, Al These twelve cases, where by his *‘in- fluence” members of the fawily have been vided fer, illustrate the fact that while Gen. Logan has not amassed money he has had an eye to the main chance so far as providing for his rela- tives is oonoonm‘f 1t may serve to show why General 80 suddenly been converted from a demoorat to s Logan boomer to say that his petition for an important federal office in Philadelphia has just r | been rejected, and of course ‘‘he's agin” the admunistration, ——— A FIGHT WITH PIEGANS, Two White Men Killed, Two Wounded and Four Plegans Laid Out, Biuunes, Mont., February 20.—Five Piegan Indians made a raid from their reservation, crossed the Yellowstone at Clark's Fork river to the Crow reserva- tion and stole fifty-three ponies from Plenty Coves, a Crow chief. They ran off t.hor‘Poniu and picked up a zumber more longing to white men near Park City. Plenty Coves and three other Crows, accompanied by Joseph Tate, Chancey Ames, Phillip Sidle, Lee M Owens and three other white men, pur- sued and overhauled them at Hailstone basin, near Painted Robe river, forty miles northwest of Billings, A fight en- sued, in which Chancey Ames and Jos eph Tate were killed and Owens and sidle wounded. Four of the Piegans were killed. The fifth was wounded, but escaped. The horses were recaptured. The bodies of Owen and Tate were packed back to Park City to-day. Both were well-to-do ranchmen.

C., February 22,— The democratic natiol committee has just decided upon going into session for the purpose of selecting the time and }E‘luo of holding tho national convention. here is a strong feeling against admit- ting reporters, and unless this it overcome the report of the proceedings will be late and fragmentary. Chicago people aremost confident and make the unqualified state- ment that the convention will go to that city, They will not admit that there is doubt of this. The St. Louis delegation is more quiet, but confident they will se- cure the prize. Some of them claim seven- teen votes on the first ballot. New Yorkmenbelieve if they had a good working delegation here the jconvention could be necured for Saratoga. One ar- gument that ths St. Louis delegates are using against Chicago is that it would be unwise for democrats to take their con- vention and consequently their money into a state which will without doubt go for a republican_candidate for prosident. There is no doubt that the general talk about the Arlington this morning favors Chicago and that there is more beliovers than dissenters in the opinion that both conventions will be held in that city. The democratic national committee met shortly afternoon to-day at the Arlington hotel. The meeting was conducted with closed doors. When the committee had been called to order the proposition to admit to the next coavention delegates trom territories was considered and it was resolved that each territory be advised to send two delesates to the conven- tion, the question of admission to be determined by the convention The question cf proper date for holding the convention was then taken up and a wide diversity of opinion on the subject was developed, the members favoring dates from the latter part of May to Au- gust 5th. By a vote ot twenty-one to seventeen, the committee rejected a motion to hold the convention May 21st and the proposition to select Tuesday, June 24th, was agreed, itstwenty-three to fiftesn. AT CHICAGO JULY 8. ‘WasHINGTON, February 22, —The dele- gations this afternoon spoke in suprort of the claims of various cities as the place for holding the convention F: X ‘Nnrd advocated Baltimore, Judge Fol- lett, Cincinnati; Carter Harrison, Chi- oago; Willis, Louisville; Vest, St. Louis, and Adams, Saratoga, The first ballot was taken at 1:30, and resulted as fol. lows: Chicago 16, St. Louis 14, Saratoga b, Louisville 3, Cincinnati 1, Baltimore none. Louisville was withdrawn and the second ballot_resulted as follows: Chi- cago 21, St. Louis 17, Saratoga 3. On the third ballot Chicago won, the vote being Chicago 21, St. Louis 17. The committee then reconsidered the vote by which June 24 was fixed a3 the timse for holding the convention and agreed upon July 8th next, The following call was presented by the executive committee,and was agreed upon: The national democratic committee, having met in the city of Washington on the 22d of February, 1884, has appointed Tuesday, the 8th day of July next, at noon, as the time, and chooses the city of Chicago as the place for holding the national democratic convention. Each state is entitled to representation therein equal to double the number of 1ts sena- tors and representatives in the congress of the United States. Democrats of each organized territory and the District of Colum| re invited to send two del- egates, subject to the decision of the con- vention as te their admission. Alldemo- cratic citizens of the United States, irre- spective of past politizal associations and ifferences, who can unite with us in an effort for a pure, economical and consti- tutional government, are cordially in- vited to join in sending delegates to the convention, The call is signed by all the members of the national democratic committee. On motion of McHenry, of Kentucky, it was resolved that the noxt meeting of the committee be held at the Palmer house, Chicago, on July, 7 next.

Kearsey, Neb., February 22.—The soldiers’ county reunion and camp fire to-day was largely attended, and was a very pleasant gathering, A county or- ganization was perfected, with H.

THE LATE SENATOR GRIMES, The two houses of the legislature met in joint convention this afternoon for the purpose of receiving as @ present to the state a fine_portrait of the late Senator Grimes, The presentation speech was made by Senator Graves, of Dubuque, who reviewed at considerable length the life and services of the distingnished gon- tleman who in the earlier days of the territory of Towa did so much to start the wheels of progress which have carried the state to such an advanced position in the sisterhood of the Union, and who inlater days shed so much honor and renown upon her name by his distinguished ser- vices. Governor Sherman in the name of the state accepted the portrait in a speech of much feeling, and Senator Hall, of Burlipgton, spoke in terms of highest praise 8 the deceased Governor and Senator, dwelling at some length upon his worth as a man and neighbor, and speaking especially of his course in the impeachment trial of Andrew John- son. The entire ceremonies were very impressive. — The Greenbackers, Inpranarouss, Fekruary 22.—The call for the national convention of the green- back labor party to be held May 28th provides for the following representation: Each state four delegates, each congres- sional district two, each territory two, Monument society was held to-day at the FROM FOREICN LANDS.

Congress was illadvised in sending the resolution; Bismarck was in- gracious in returning it. Granting, how- ever, that Bismarck was right in refusing the pratse of Herr Lasker, his organs are wrong in reviling Minister Sargent. The latter was only obeying his government. This is no reason why he should be held up, in defiance of international law, to the contempt of the German people, 1t is said that Sargent in hardly careful enough of the forms *and ceremonies to please the court 8o formal as Berlin, but a worse moment to try and induce him to resign could hardly have been chosen than_the present when his resig- nation would still further strain the rels- tions of the two countries which ought to be on excellent terms. SURRENDER OF TOKAR, Suakiy, February 22 —Five soldiers who arrived from Tokar report the rebels besetting the town. They kept up a constant fire of artillery and rifle, Tuesday. The garrison recognized the necessity of conferring with the rebels, and on Wedneeday Ya Koof and Macawi Etfendi, chiof of police, with the sergeant of artillery, went out and couferred with the rebels. Returning they informed the garrison they must surrender their arms Thursday. Many soldiers mur- mured at this and a large proportion of them escaped during the night.

A special train ran out to the shaft from Uniontown, and returned with the bodies and friends at 9 o'clock. Four cars were filled with relatives of the dead, and the scene was sad in the ex- treme. Throe of the victims were in- terred here, six at Dunbar, seven at Con- nellsville, and two have been sent to Washington, D. O. Large crowds as- sembled at each place. There was no rpecial service. Among the miners a revulsion of sentiment has taken place during the last twenty-four hours, and talk of the explosion being caused by negligence is now widespread. Feeling is very bitter, and one miner has retain- od an attornoy to attend the inquest to- morrow and exact the truth from wit- nes=es concerning the condition of the shaft. Some miners are witling to affirm that the air has been bad for a week back, and that they could not work without complete exhaustion. A miner named Duffy, who worked in room G,rightin the midst of the place shattered by the explosion, refused to work on the morning of the disaster because, he said, no man could live in the place. A com- mittee of inquiry, composed of the afflicted families, has been organized to gatherinformation for the coroner's jury. A young man named Dugan, who had several relatives killed vy the explosion, claims to have discovered evidence to the effect that the accident was chiefly caused by boarding up the air shaft at night by carpenters, who were making repairs. The shaft was closed to prevent people falling in, and the gas which acoumulated at night was more than could be driven out in a day. Meanwhile the company are sparing no expense to bury the dead and to relieve the suffering and afilicted. Wm. Pegg, one of ihe men employed at Leisenring, made a statement to-night that the mine inspector never appointed o fire boss for the shaft, and the ventila- tion in the heading where the explosion occurred was very bad.
