THE DRIFT OF THE PARTIES AND G (WAS 11* OF PARTY LEADERS. Tilden Will Accept-"Sunaet" Cox's Viewa —Only an Opinion—Both Parties— Arthur and Blaine. Tildxn Will Accift.—Representative Cassidy, of Nevada, to day said that the visit of tbe Pacific coast delegation to Mr. Tilden, some weeks since, had given rile to many erroneous impressions ■ throughout the coun try. This resulted, he said, from tbe tact that all sorta of alleged interviews were published broadcast which never took place at ail with any member of tbe delegation. Continuing, Mr Costidy said: “Tbe visit toGramercy park was purely socisi, aud originated this way. Representative Spriggs of tbe Utica district, New York, is an old and |inlimate friend of Governor Tilden. Jndge Spriggs, being about to go over to New York, invited me to accompany him, and together pay oar respects to the distinguished statesman. Later the party waa enlarged to in clude a portion of the delegates from Califor nia. As ths visit was purely social>Bd wholly non political, a sense of propriety demanded that the delegation should refrain from rush ing into print, but tha objects of the visit having been misinterpreted and widely mis- represented, I feel that it is but simply just to disclose all that took place.” " Governor Tilden received the party with guat cordtslity, and the interview lasted for nJkrly ooe hour. While it is trne that one of his arms is afflicted, his general health is remarkably good, not to say robnst. The governor threw back the heavy folding doors io the presence of bis visitors, and mevtd about with as much activity as n man of 40 His mind is as strong and clear as ever be fore in his Ufa.

The only reference made to politics was when a member of the delegation ad dressing Mr. Tilden said: " ‘Governor, wo era all your friends. We aro all Tilden men, as are all democrats on tbo Pacific coast.' In reply the governor said: " ‘I am not a-Tilden man.’ “Which was c-uistrueil by soma of the visitors as a declaration that ha would not be a candidate for tbo presidency. “For my own pure I left Mr. Tilden in the firm convtc ion, judging from tne eurreund- irigs, that he wilt gladly accept tbe nomina tion if tendered to him by the Chicago con vention.

I confess I am almost forced to the be lief, however, thut dtspite the assertions to tbe contrary ho will yield to the demand from all parts of the country and uccept the nomination." Bo yon think he would be the nominee if it were understood he wotfid accept?" "Undoubtedly. I don't think there' question as to Uat." “And be elected?” “As certainly as he is nominated. The New York democracy would be united for him this time, not a dissenting voice or vote, and thla would bo a great thing in his favor, you know.

"Mr. Tilden, it he will take it.” “William L. Scott anti John G. Priest say he will." “Yes, I know; but I don't know, either, was at Mr. Tilden’s bouse the 8unday night before John G.

"Yes, if he Is olive." “Wbat about his health? Would he out live tne presidential term T' "I certainlr think ha woald. He is only •evenly years of age.

The moment be takes any thing into his hands the shaking stops.” Both Paetizs.-Senator Ben Harrison, of ladiaaa, wao is in tbe city, said to a re porter in rwply to a question as to his opin ion on tbe political outlook: "While I have no concealments, I have very little tony, it appears rsry probe Me that Mr. Blame will be tbe republican nomi nee.” “Who will be nc urinated by tbe dem ocrats?” "Sam Tilden. if be ie alive and will accept. His refusals are growing fainter and fain'er. But bis silence and coynen have acted on tbe democrats like a aisiden’s ‘ao’ to beriowr, which eerrea only to mske him tbe more im petuous. 1 am not certain whether Tilden woald be etrong or weak. It would bare to be tested hare ia New York. He would be weak with ua sxosat as Hendricks would strengthen him.

Lsst night's meeting was a spurt effort which is variously estimated. Tbe Republican, Arthur’s Washington or- | gan. jubilates over it, and says it will give the president such s moral support at cannot be , disregarded at Chicago. r/f The New York press makes very diverse com-'^ ment. Tbe Herald calls it a great indorsement of Arthur’s administration which must improve his chances. The Tribune says the country does not want a Wall s'reet president. Tbe World characterizes the meeting as s motley gathering of political strikers, anil says tbe real business men uf New York were conspicuous only by their absence. The Times says there wits too large an ele ment of professional politicians in tbe meet ing to give it any force. The S'arpronounces it a gathering of Mam mon worshippers wbo declared: “We care nothing for the morals of this administra tion, eo long as iiprotectabusiness interests." The Blaine men in congress smile at the rather arrogant assertion of Arthur advocates that last night's creeling will have a decided efiect on the convention. They have not abated tbeirentbusiam, and Iamaure Blaine - . will lead ail the candidates handsomely on the first ballot. After that the aombern delegations hold the key to the situation.

Ed munds and Lincoln are a long-way ahead in tbat vie* ol the situation. Mr. Biton aaid to-day he was sureof Blaine’s nomination until the Inst tew days, but he bslieved Arthur woe gaining on him now, and stood a good chance for the nomination.

A tariff for revenue only was demandsd, and this waa to bs the issue in the coming cam paign. Tne resolntlons declare against all laws tending toward the centralization of power, werltb or political influence; that taxation ia an incident, not an object of tbe government, and should only be levied to provide the means of the economical maintenance of the government, and the timely discharge of ita obligations, bearing lightly on articles in common use; and demand a redaction ia the war tariff in accordance with those prin ciples; commend tbe action of tbo demo cratic majority in the national house, aud their recent earnest efforts for tariff reform; reject tna result of these efforts, and iosist on persistent efforts until ths revenue system is reestablished on a jest and honest basis; sod call for a tborougu reform in the tariir financial aud administrative af fairs ; arraign the republican party as taise to tbe interests of the people and again assert sn utter condemnation of the great crime of tbe wrong tbat we propose to right, sod make it Impossible ot perform ance hereafter.
