Senator Titus and a TELEGRAPH reporter beld a curbetone conference yesterday in which the destinies of the democratic party were carefully considered.

The lawyer and legislator is fresh from Albany where he had access to the inner circle of the democratic councils of the state, and his opinions therefore worthy of weight at this time: He said in regard to presidential candidates: "I am for Cleveland first and will use all honorable effort to promote bis nomination. Tilden is out of the question entirely. He will not accept under any circumstances." "Do you believe" asked the TELEGRAPH scribe "that Tilden is actually out of the field and could not be induced to accept a unanimous nomination?" "I not only believe it, but know it beyond a reasonable doubt," was the emphatic reply. Senator Titus, during this brief interview, spoke as one who had seen a revelation in which he had abiding faith, and unless he is woefully mistaken, Mr. Tilden is cocked and primed with a letter to the democracy of the nation which will unequivocally say, "Your candidate I cannot be." Horatio Seymour, it will be remembered, 80 declared in 1868, but on the same day conrented to run.

Senator Titus doesn't think it within the range of poseibility for Mr. Tilden to alter hie fixed determination to never again a appear as a candidate. As to Governor Cleveland's chances in the race for the nomination Senator Titus was not prepared to prognosticate. Peculiar significance is attached by politicians to the following, from the Courier's Albany special on the state committee meeting: "Many democrats who profess to be friends of Cleveland and are believed to be honest, declare that in the present condition of the party in New York it would be unwise to run that gentleman, for in case he were defeated be could not be again a candidate for governor, whereas If he waits four years be may be re-elected governor and can then be put forward for higher honors with the prestige of having twice carried the state of New York."
