"Confidential.
"Ogdensburg, Apl. 24th, 1884.
"Daniel Manning, Esq.
"My dear Sir,—Permit me to advise that whatever your individual opinion is, as to the propriety of Mr. Tilden's candidacy for the Presidency, he should not authoritatively decline until after the election of the delegates to our State convention.
"His name will greatly aid in securing honest delegates. Please give me any point you can, as I only wish to know what may better enable me to second you in the hard work that I know you have to do.
"Truly yours,
"D. Magone."
