TIE TLDEN SALUTE.-The Democrats,
last evening, started to fire 100 guns for
their standard bearers Tilden and Hem
bricks. When they arrived at the open lot
between Adams and Jackson streets they
had fair following of boys. The first sa-
Lutte was a loud one, its echoes resounding
along shipley Run hollow making timid
women nervous, setting the children to
screaming and the dogs to barking. Instead
of 100 there were only 38 guns fired, some
half dozen of them being very loud ones,
and supposed to be for that rumber of the
only sure Democratic States. Complaints
against the weakness of the powder were
frequent, and no doubt there was sufficient
cause, when it was known that it was the
same powder purchased by the Republicans
for Blaine salute, thereby being detracted
from iGs original purpose.
