THE TAMMANY FRAUDS.
1t is quite evident that the public are
inclined to distrust Mr.. Greeley as
Presidential candidate, on account of
his Identification with the corrupt Tam
many Ring of New York When the
stupendous frauds and swindling of
that combination of knaves was exposed
by the New York Times, last year, Mr..
Greeley treated the matter very ginger
ly in his Tribune, and said as little as
he possibly could in condemnation Of
the chief actors in those schemes of
wholesale plumber. The fact was that
he was placed in an awkward position
by the exposure of the ring wickedness;
for some of his own friends and intimate
associates were deeply involved in those
disgraceful transactions, and he felt it
incumbent to palliate everything that
he could in the guilty transactions, and
to skim over the rest with just as light
censure as possible, considering the
excited state of an outraged public opin-
ion. tet

suitable person through whom to carry
out wider plan of plundering opera

be the victim instead of single city,
and hundreds of millions, instead of
tens, should be the stake Senator Fem
ton and his associates accordingly went
to work, and by consummate intrigue
and management, working upon the reb-
ell element of the South and the trading
Democrats of the North, through the
Cincinnati juggle and the Baltimore
farce, effected the nomination of Gree
