He Gives Democracy No Hint as to Their Escape From Their Dilemma, “YOUR CANDIDATE I CANNOT BE," TILDEN DECLINES *‘RE-ELECTION.” New York, June 11.—The following communication from Samuel J. Tilden has been given to the associated press: New York, Juns 11, 1884, —Daniel Man- ning, chairman of the Democratic state com- mittes of New York: In my letter of June 18, 1880, addreseed to the delegates from the state of New York to the democratic national convention, I said: “Having now borue faithfully my full share of labor and care in the public service, and wearing the marks of its burdens, I desire nothing so much as an honorable discharge. wish to lay down thejhonors and toils of even quasi party leadership, and to seek the REPOSE OF PRIVATE LIFE,” Tn renouncing a renomination for the pres- idency I do so with no doubt in my mind as to the vote of the state of New York, and of the United States, but because I believe that it is & renunciation of a re-election to the pres- idency. To those who think my renomina- tion and ro-election indispensable to an effec- tual vindication of theright of the people to eloct teir rulers—violated in my person—I have accorded as long a reserve of my,decision s possible, but I cannot overcome my rep nance t enter into a new engagement which involves four years of ceaseless toil. The dig- ity of the présidential office is above amerely personal ambition, but it creates in me no illusion. Its valueis @ great power for . good to the country, In accepting the nomi- nation i 1 SAID EIGHT YEARS AGO: . Knowing as I do, that therefore, from fresh experience how great the difference between liding through an official routine and work- ng out a reform of systems and polices, it is impossible for me to_contemplate what needs to be done inthe federal administration with- out an anxious sense of the difficulties of the undertaking. 1f summoned by the suffrages of my countrymen to undertake the work, 1 v shall endeavor, with God’s help to be the effi- cient iustrument of their will. Such a work of renovation, after years of misrule. Such a reform of system and poli- cies, to which I would cheerfully have sacri- ficed all that remained to me of health and life, is now, I fear, BEYOND MY STENGTH, My prroose to withdraw from further public service, and the grounds of it were at that time well known'to you and to others, and when at Cincinnati, though respecting my wishes yourself, you communicated to me an appeal from many valued friends to relinquish that purpose. 1 reiterated my dstermination unconditionally, In the four years which have since elapsed nothing has occurred to weaken, but everything to strengthen tne considerations which induced my withdrawal from public life, o all why have addressed me on the subject, my intention has been frankly com- municated. Several of my most confidential friends, under the sanction of their own names, 1 have publicly stated MY DETERMINATION TO LE IRREVERSIDLE, That I have occasion now to consider the question, 1 an eveat for which T have no re- sponsibility. Tho apy do to me by tho democratic masses with apparent unanimity, to serve them once more, is entitled to the most deferential consideration, and would in- spire a disposition to do anything desired of me if it were cousistent with my judgment of duty, I believe that there is uo instrument- ality in human society so potential in its in- fluences upon mankind for good or evil as the governmental machinery 1or administering klnlil:ll and for making and exeenting the laws. Not all the eleemosynary institutions of pri- vate benevol mee to which philanthropists may devote their lives are so_fruitful in benefi the rescue and proservation of this m from the perversions that make it the instri. meut of CONSPIRACY, FRAUD AND CRIME, against the most sacred rights aud inter- ests of ihe people. For fifty years as a privato citizen, never contemplating an official career, f 1 have devoted, at loast as much thought and i effort to the duty of influes g aright the re- tiomof the governmental titutions of my country as to all other objects, I have nover acceptod official kervice, except for a briof pe 1for a epecial purpose and only when the to require from me that # L'r(‘hln‘nc" to the publi P i3 el the state administration of 80 it was supposed that in aild the executive power be arrayed on the side of the reforms to which as ertool York bec that way only # privatecitizen T had given three yoars of my life.

Though anxious to seok the repose of pri- vate life, I nevertheless acted upon the idea that every poweris & trust and involves a duty, In reply to the address of the commit- tee communicating my nomination, 1 depicted the difficulties of the undertaking and likened wy feelings in engaging in it to thoss of a SOLDIER ENTERING BATTLE, but I did not withhold the entire consecration of my powers to the publie i f continuous m. iave infectad the whole gov ernment system of the 1 od States with a cancerous growth of false constructions and ’ Powerful clusses have ac interests in official abuses, I staudards of the people red | and the m been impaired.

HENDRICKS ON TILDEN'S WITHDRAW AL INpraNarouts, June 11.—Thomas Hendricksin an interview concerning Tilden's letter of declination, said the news was not a surprise to him, for when he visited Tilden in August last, that gentleman very firmly announced his intention to remain permanently out of politics. Un a succeeding visit, in April last, the same determination had been expressed. Hendricks thought there was little doubt that THE OLD 710 would have been unanimously nominated at the Chicago convention if it had not been for the declination to-day. Hesaid that tho demand for it among the demo- crats was almost universal, and greater than any movement of the kind he had ever seen in politics. Personally he felt no great disappointment; he did not want the office of vice president eight years ago, and did not want it now. 1f the old ticket had remained in the field, he should have considered an election to that place a great honor conferred by the people AS A REBUKE to what they consider a great wrong. 1t would have prevented the seating of Hayes in 1876 from becoming a precedent, for future elections. Hendricks added that only as an expression of the indig- nation of the peoplo would heve ha re- garded an election to the vice-presidency a8 an honor to be sought. PRATTLE OF THE PRESS, ON TILDEN'S RETIREME: Special Dispatch to Tne Bk, Cuicaco, June 11.—The later Ocean (Republican) will say edltorially: ““The letter is a somewhat remarkable produc- tion In itself, but it is more remarkable as an_illustrtaion of democratic strategy and discipline. It was known months ago that Tilden could not and would not ba a candidate, and yet, as there was nothing else in the party to enthuse over, he was kept in the foreground as a rally- ing point. The scheme having been carried far enough to suit the democratic purpose, Tilden retires from the field without a hint or a suggestion as to the succession. However carefully the letter has been lined, it is in fact an offective WET BLANKET to the domacracy, The keeping of Til- den to the front was a confession that no other name had as much influence among tho democrats as his. T'he enthusiasm that had been worked up in his bohalt cannot be turned on any other candidato or credit up to the party. The old ticket idea was a sentiment involving vindica- tion and revenge, but it was more largely personal than any other party movement in this country. " Take Tilden out of it, and there is nothing left.” CSWHAT'S THE MATTE Special Dispatch to the Bre, Cu1caco, June 11,—The daily News (republican, but anti-Blaine) will say in an editorial, summoning up the candi- dates for the demooratic nomination, in view of Tilden’s withdrawal. **If Tam- many Hall can be held in line, (iovernor Cleveland is unquestionably the man_ for the hour. He has proved an intelligent, WITH CLEVELAND] y | earnest, conservative and altogether cap- able oflicer. He would unquestionably poll a very large republican vote which could be secured for no other democrat now mentioned, FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, Governor Hoadly 18 much the best man in the public eye. McDonald’s contest with the Hendricks family rendsrs him unavailable.” DISAPPOINTED AND GRIEVED, Special Dispateh to Ths Brg, Cri1caGo, June 11.—The Times (Til- den Demceratic) will say in editorial; ““The democrats of the country will he feviously disappointed and sadly dis. ouraged by the determination of Hon, Samuel J, Tilden, expressed in his card printed in the Times to-day, not to be their candidate for the presidency, While there are many able men in the party it is certain that no oue of them can possibly command the confidence of the country in the full degreee it has been held by Mr, Tilden, and NO Oor 1L MAN can awaken the enthusiasm that would hava been evoked by his. It is not extra- vagant to say that the publication of Mr, Tilden’s letter must very greatly reduce the party’s chance of success in the pend- ing canvass,” I Special Disp W AsHIN G hard to-night N June. 11—It's raining and most of the public men have kept indoors; so that the news of Iilden’s withdrawal was not generally circulatod among them, The few demo. crats who were scen confess that it mixes THE COMING CAMPAICN. Tom Boyne's Opinion as to Blaine's Strength North and Sonth, The Plumed Knight Will Carry Every Northern State, And Wost Virginia and North Carolina=-265 Electors, An Independent Opinion by Col. MoClure, of Philadelphia, He Talks Against Blaine But Ac- knowledges His Strength, Conkling Denies He Has Turned Democrat—Other Political Mattes Wasl Tom Bayne, one of Blaine's most ac- tive workers at Chicago, arrived hero from his home to-day. e was one of the fow who exactly predicted the result of the convention. He says that Blaine will carry every northern state and West Virginia and North Car- olina, giving him electoral votes, Asked for his reason for thinking that North Carolina and West Virginia can bo carried. Bayne said: They are naturally protective-tarifl statos. The old whig ecloment is strong in both of them. In addition, the peoplo ot North Carolina_have a great grievance. They are denied local self-government and are ruled almost wholly by the leg- men 265 islature and the executive department. If good republican speakers are sent down there and the peolo are shown the ad- vatages of protection and are promised relief in the direction of local self-govern- ment there is scarcely a doubt but that the state can be carried. Into West Vir- ginia there has gone a large amount of northern capital, and there has beena great developmentof thestate's resourcos. Upon these two facts | base my predic- tion that we will carry the state.” WILLIAM WALTER PHE! William Walter Phelps is quoted as saying: *The independent opposition to Mr. Blaine will not be effective unless there is a convention called and some de- cided steps taken, and this cannot be done unless it is done in a few days. That the independents will act promptly 1snot likely. They will be tempted to wait until after the democrats hold their convention. Then it will be too late for action, and they will fall back into the republican ranks. Another thing, there is no combined action and no definite ob- joct in view. Some of the leaders are on- thusiastic for Blaine. Philadelphia is the great centre of the independent movement, and there they are a unit for Blaine. The only positive opposition is in New York and Massachusetts, and that will not effect much, for even there they are not united. Ethan Allen, one of their acknowledged leaders, is a noted Blaine man. Blaine will lose some votes in Boston, but all the people throughout the state that went over to Butler will be glad enough to get back into the party by casting their votes for the Maine statesman. This will vastly more than make up for the loss in Boston.” SENATOR FRYE. Senator Frye is reperted as follows; ,,Of course Blaine is strong in Maine, and Logan is, too. He has made speeches in the state and is very popular. Now, as to Massachusetts, 1 have no fear. Blaine will carry the state by 20,000 majority. The independents always growl, but they always make trouble, as much as they can unless they have their own way. DBesides, these Massachusetts independents are nearly all democrats. New York is the battle-ground. Yes it is a democratic state. The city makes it democratic. But the enthusiasm that Blaino will arouse will earry him through. He will carry Ohio in October by a rous- ing majority, and that, together with the enthusiasm his canvass will excite, will save New York. He will carry the whole of New England. 1 have no fear as to the result tn any of the New Eoagland states, Yes, sir, Blaine is as strong in Now York as any man the party could have nominated, and he is stronger than others outside of New York. ‘The con- vention had to nominate Blaine, It could not escape from it. You sae, eight years ago Blaine was beaten by the unit rule, and four years ago we had to make our fight against the unit rule. It was the bitterest fight I was ever in; but when we got district representation we opened the way to Blaine’s nomination. He is the choice of the republicans of the republican states,” “Can the ticket be New York?” ““I doubt it very much,” was the reply, “put we shall carry New York with a hard fight,” elected without GEORGE BLISS, Gigorge Bliss, who is here, snys Dlaine is undoubtedly strong in tho rural dis triots in Now York, although the bosscs in Now York and Brooklyn do not spe- possiblo but probable, it is bound to bo dofeated. Democratic idivey is always republican salvation.” *‘Is there any strength in the indopond ent anti-Blaine movement?” “Not in Pennaylvania. The independ ents there are Blaine men, and Stawart, their leader, was chairman of the delega tion in the convention. There is no on thusinsm for Blaine among the business men of Philadelphia, although the fight against him will not be in Penwsylvania, BLAINE'S WEAK POINTS ““Whoro are his woak pointsiy’ “1f Tilden is nominated, as 1 assume will bo the case, he will oarry Conneoti- cut, Now York, Now Jersoy and Indiana ayainst Blaine,” “Well, there would perhaps ba a doubt in Indiana: but with Tilden in the field there would be no Dorsey business in that state, 1f Tilden goes in to cap- ture Indiana he'll do it, and there will bo just as many mules there for him as aganst him, and more too. I don't re- gard Ohio's October fight a8 of so much significance as that in West Virginia, Blaine and Elkins and their friends aro largely interested in railroad and coal en- torprises there, and if the ropublicans and greenbackers unite, as they doubtloss will, there is more than a fair chance to break the solidity of the south. 1f they do that, seo what an argument it will be for Blaino i November. Thoy are all poor down there, too, and a little money will bo enthusiastically welcomed. The greenbackers have already nominated their man for governor, whom tho re- publicans indorsed, and the noint is well worth careful consideration.” “How about Massachusetts?” “Butler may throw that canvass into confusion, but 1 don't caleulate on that. Give Massachusetts to the republicans and Tilden will win after all. Tilden 1s strong, stronger than his party. He means money, business, brains, The peo- ple want a chango of government, but they don’t want uncertainty or embar- rassment., With Tilden they would feel perfect security and confideace in every business circle. EMBODIMENT OF HIS PARTY, “Blaine is a fit embodiment of his party. Ho has ita degeneracy, licentious- caally like him. I did not think the bolt of the Nuw York Times would prove effzctive, oL, M HIS OPINION OF BLAINE'S STRENGTH, Col. McClure, the veteran editor of The Philadelphia Times, in response to the question, *“Do you regard Blalue strong candidate!” said: ‘‘Yes and no. He is the candidate of the progressive element of the repub- lican party, but not of the cautious and wsiderate. He is stronger than his party. The republican party isdying at the top. Symproms of decay hive been long apparent. The democratic party has been dead for years, buu it can exist without 8 purpose and the republican cannot, There is no decay about Blaine.

Ho represents the people of his party, and the party is rotten.

Curcaco, June 11,—The sudden with- drawal of Tilden from the race for the presidency leayes all the democrats here at sea, and those of them whose opin- ions are worth repeating refuse to talk. One thing is cortain, and only one: That, Tilden out of the national democratic national convention there will be a lively *‘circus,”” as there will be not less than a dozen candidates: Cleveland and Flower, of New York; Bayard, of Delaware; Ran- dall and Dorsheimer, of Pennsyivania; Thurman, Hoadley and Payne, of Ohio; McDonald and possibly Hendricks, of Indiana: Morrison, of Illinois, and Field and Rosecrans, of California, not taking into account Ben Lutler, who will be on tha ground in person, and may upset many a kettle of fish bofore a nomination is made. CONKLIN DENI OCRAQY, I 15 SKIN DEEP. New York, 11.—The World prints the following : “Did you see in y's Herald what Judge Noah Davis said about you turning democrat?” said a roporter to Roseoo Conkling. June “Yeos, T did sce what he was reported as saying, and from any other judge such talk would be hardly crediblo. Lot me seo his words which your question points to. L will read them : *As for Conkling, 0o one can account for his coursa, 1 hear he has been eclected a member of the Manhattan club, and it certainly looks as if he was marching straight over into the democratic camp.” The language is quite characteristic, gross and unwarrant- ablo as it is, and unseemly, coming from ajudicial officor. Davis, whatever posi- tion he gots into, is ever the politician, the partisan and the demagoguo. His malovolence never forgots or spares man who has ever stood in the way of any of his many attempts to got place. Ho scoms unable to comprehond how any man can get along at the bar, or even at the bench, without dabbing in politics and stocks, and parading himself at pub- lic meetings.

During the last fow days, however, matrers have taken such a shapo as to destroy all those hopes, and the indications now are that a serious war on business to and from all points west of the Missouri river will have to be fought before ami- cable relations between the various roads interested in that business can be re- stored. 4 The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe has given oflicial notice of its withdrawal trom both the Transcontinental and the Utah Traflic association, and the Colo- rado pool hasibeen inoperative for some timo past. An agreement has lately been made between the Union Pacific and the Burlington regarding Nobraska business, but it is not believed that it will be carried out. The Burlington peoplo complaiu that the enstorn allies of the Union Pacific are cutting the Ne- braska rates now in violation of that agreement and the Western Trunk Line sociation roads make the samn chary nst the Burlington, Under theso oircumstances it is not probable that the Nobraska ratos will bo any betlor main- tained than Colorado, Utah and Oaliior- uia rates, Tho Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fo and the Burlington secm to stand together in this matter, and they take the ground that it will not boe possible to maintain any pooling or traflic agreements west of the Missouri river 80 long as the Western Trunk Line association remains in exist- ence and the eastern allies of the Union Pacific have the right to make west- bound rates over the Union Pacific. The Santa Fe and Burlington seem to bo de- termioed to break up the tripartite com- pact, even at the risk of bringing on a disnstrous war on rates, The Western Trunk Idne association roads, on the other hand, will rather go to war than abandon their combination with the Union Pacifie, The indications are thatthe Northwest- orn lines will have to engage in a disas: trous war before they will be able to ad- just their difliculties and carry out their new pooling agreement. far all at- tempts to adjust the troubles with the Lake Superior Transit company and the Diwmond Joe line of Upper viver steamers have failed and there eews to be no alternative left for the 3.
