BULLY FOR TILDEN.
The People Endorse His Death-BlOW
to Southern Claim Seekers.
.tlanta Constitution.

Nothing that Tilden ever did will
commend him so earnestly 10 the sup
port Of the Southern people as the
crusher that he puton so alled South
ern claims. on yesterday. through his
letter to Mr. Hewitt.
These claims have been almost en-
tirely pressed by negroes and Repus.
licans, and were almost always fraud
ulent, in part or in whole.
Thousands upon thousands Of dol
lars have been paid to men who never
owned in all their lives put together,
one-tenth part of what they claimed
to have bad destroyed. There is not
a city in Georgia, where thousands Of
dollars cannot be traced, that was paid
out on straw claims TO utterly unworthy
people.
These false claims we're pushed
through by Washington lobbyists and
spectators who usually had influence
with the corrupt heads of departments.
The Southern Democrats have al
class voted solidly and persistently
against the allowance of these claims.
As an illustration of how many OF
these claims are worked up, we mem
tion the following A prominent to-
bacco merchant in this city had about
$4,000 worth of tobacco stored here
during the war. Ii was destroyed By
Federal troops The owner WIS
strong Rebel, and, Of course, gave up
all thoughts of recovering anything
for the tobacco. A few years ago
Republican politician came 10 him aud
addressed him as follows Now you
can't get a cent from the Government
for that tobacco. for you can't prove
your loyalty. ] can prove my loyalty
easily enough. just swear that the
tobacco was mine aud III put in
claim for 100000 and give you halt of
it,"
The merchant was honest enough 10
spurn this offer. But there are doubt
less hundreds of cases, with just such
basis. Uncle Sammy did a good
piece of work when he put his foot on
this Southern claims busineIIs. He
couldn't have suited the Southern peo-
pie better.
