Show Governor Tildes 's reply to the committee who notified him of his nomination to the presidency, makes the reform sentiment the leading idea of the campaign. He promises to reply more fully iu writing, and from the governor's inclination to spread himself in his messages an elaborate and exhaustive letter may be expected as the temptation will be very strong to define his position in cxlenso.
