THE DEMOCRATIC CANVASS.

VIEWS OF LEADING DEMOCRATS ON MR. TILDEN'S NOMINATION.

Whatever wrangling there had been previous to the nomination, he said, all was harmony after the nomination was made, and Mr. Tilden was cordially accepted by all. Mr. Wickham said that Mr. Church was a strong man, and if he had
