TALKING WITH TILDEN.
What Was Said in The Great Conundrum.
New York, Oct. 10. - The World has this: Yesterday afternoon Speaker Randall, Wm. L. Scott, of Erie, Pennsylvania, and Henry Watterson paid Tilden a visit together, and remained with him several hours. Toward sunset Tilden and Watterson took a drive in Central Park, in Tilden's victoria. A few other visitors were denied admission to Gramercy Park House, on the plea that Tilden was particularly engaged. Randall arrived from Washington in the morning and returned last night. Watterson was invisible at the Everett House last evening, being fatigued. Mr. Scott had not returned to the Fifth Avenue hotel at a late hour. It was rumored at the Manhattan club, last evening, where the interview of Tilden's three trustiest aides with their chief soon became known, and was made a topic of conversation, that Tilden, since the Ohio convention, had determined to prepare a letter of withdrawal with a power of attorney to his delegates to name a candidate, and that Wm. L. Scott was to hold the power in blank.
