Mr. Tilden Not a Candidate.
It appears now to be definitely set-

date for the Presidential nomination
and will not allow his name to be used
as such in the Democratic National
Convention, He prepared a letter to
this effect some time ago, but deferred
its publication at the instance of
sonal friends, It is horitatively
announced that he aducres to this pur-
pose and that the letter will be read
in the New York convention to meet
on the 18th of June. This will be
received with much regret in many
parts of the country, where the anxiety
was very great on the part of the peo-
ple to wipe out in the most demonstra-

Blaine Nominated.
After a most exciting and bitter
contest, James G. Blaine is declared
with a sample of his product, to a
miller in the interior of the state who
makes a great deal of flour for export.

from the limestone rocks of the Le-
high Valley, the manufacturer ex-
plained, could be mixed very profit.
ably with flour. While it added
greatly to the weight of flour at small
cost, the adulterstion could not be de-
tected by the consumer. This manu-
facture of mineral pulp for mixing
with the bread and sugar of the peo-
ple is an “iufant industry’’ that
flourishes without the need of any pro- |

The Republican Natioual platform, |
