Tilden not a Candidate, Wasuivbron, June 4.—There 13 now every reason to believe that Tilden will not accept the nomination of the Demo cratic Convention for President. Repre- gentative Dorsheimer, of New Youk, | the the contradic statements of Congressmen been calling on Tilden this spring as to Lory having heard who have Lis intentions in regard to the nomina- | tion, determined to ascertain exactly what the ex-Governor proposed to do, Through Charles A. Dana he learned that Tilden would not be a candidate before the This informaton Dorsheimer has convey ed to his Democratic friends Senate and House. The very general expression of sentiment | Democratic Convention. in the result is a by Senators and members in favor of the nomination of Bayard. McDonald is the ticket most generally named. In his letter to Dana, asking him to see Tilden, Dorsheimer said that the Democratic party was suffering through the general uncertainity as to Tilden's intention. The party, he said, was | drifting to and fro, rudderless and be. fogged, at a time when it was necessary to go forward confidently, He begged Jay ard and | without oftense, to characterize the ac. to regulate railway freights and fares in interstate commerce. It bids for the votes of the labor reformers by urging “ihe'establishment of a National Bureau of Labor and the enforcement of the Bight-hour Taw,” It bids for votes in all States whose inhabitants do not pro- vide proper public education for their children by recommending that the in. habitants of the other States be taxed to furnish it through Congressional ap propriations, It bids for the contribu. tions of pension claim to the party treasury, and for the votes of all the “dead beats’ who ever wore uuni- form, by sustaining the loose and ex. of the past and promising more in the future. It bids also for contributions of specially protected manufacturers by averring that the imposition of duties agents travagant pension legislation the on foreign imports should be lid to secure their profits, and not for revenue only.” It specially singles out sheep owners, and makes a desperate bid for Ohio in the October election by recom mending an increase of duty on imports of foreign wool. And finally it receives his into the bosom of the party on terms with the best, and withouta word { Mahone and Virginia Readjosters equal to censure their championship of the re. pudiation of honest debts, In short, this 18 a platform that ought to tempt General Benjamin F.

The Nomination of Mr. Blaine. | The Philadelphia Record, speaking of | the nomination of Blaine, says, as it was | hard to speak of the platform adopted | by the Republican Convention at Chica go with the deference which should at ' tach to a consideration of the deliberate i | resolves of a grest party, so it is difficult | tion that makes James Gillespie Blaine the candidate of the Republican party for President. The platform and the | candidata however, go well together, and together they must be accepted as representing the deliberate judgmentof the majority of the Republican voters in Mr, active and aggressive Republican from the country. Blsine has been an the beginning, In looking backward over the record Dana, for the party's sake, to see Til | dep, show him the evil effects of the present uncertainty and urge him to de- | clare himself, Last Friday Dorsheimer went 10 | New . York and saw Dana. The latter reported that he had visited of the party in the quarter century dur. ing which it has for the government of the country it will be impossible to elsim for Mr, Blaine that he was the originator or special champion of any good work that been responsible Tilden and had submitted to him all | the arguments presented in Dor sheimer’s letter. After listening patient ly, Tilden replied that he had wavered foran iostant in his pose to forbid the use of He then showd to Dana a letter not | pur his pame. writ ten by himself, in which, in terms most positive, emphatic and unequivocal, he not only refuses the use of his name but declares that be would not accept the nomination if tendered him, that he would not be a candidate under any circumstances. “Il wrote that letter,” said Tilden to Dana, in substance, “two months ago, with the intention of mak ing it public then; but they persuaded me to withhold jit for a time, and 1 shall now haveit read at the State Demo cratic Convention on the 18th of June’ In speaking of “they,” Mr. Tilden re ferred to Bigelow, Manning and several | other Democratic politicians who hold very close relations with him. He said “they” had some purposes to subserve which would have been injured by | the immediate publication of the letter,” | and, as he personally did not care little delay, he con<ented to until the meeting of the State tion, for a withhold Conven Mr. Dana nsgurdd Mr. Dorshdindir tind he saw nfl read Tilden's lelter and that there was no question of the latters perfect sincerity; that he is not snd will not be a candidate vader any circum stance.

This will be followed with civil su.ts against his three bondsmen to recover the alleged shortage. Two of the bondsmen are ex United States Marshal Murdock, whom the accused succeeded, and Mr. Lupton. The name of the third could not be learned last evening, Each of the sureties are liable to the extent of $20,000, making the total bond $060,000. The criminal suit was to have been instituted yesterday after noon, but owing to the late arrival in the city of Mr, Ballou, an official of the attorney general's department, it wes decided to defer action until to-morrow, when Mr. Ballou, will proceed to Washington, Pa.; and place the ex. Marshel under arrest.
