SAMUEL J. TILDEN.
Tilden, the Democratic nominee for
President, is probably the most unfit
man for that position that could have
been selected. He is born aristocrat,
and is in sympathy with no human
being but Sam. Tilden. He lives in
one of the most gorgeous mansions in
New York, and, more than any one
man in the city, keeps up the style of
the European nabob. His associates
are the kid-gloved Democracy of the
Manhattan Club, and he never would
have been a Democrat, only for the
reason that through his money he could
control the lower classes, whom he de-
spises as heartily as a man can. He
has two qualities-greed for money,
and ambition for political promi-
nence. And there is nothing under
heaven that he will not do to attain
these ends He was the trusted coun-
sellor of Tweed, so long as he could
share his robberies, and he only turn
ed against him when further associa-
ton would have damaged his other as
pirations, He did not preserve faith
with that gang even. He took their
money, and then deserted them when
they were in danger. He was the
hired retainer and partner in the most
gigantic railroad swindle of this age,
and having made some six or seven
millions by these operations, he was
strong enough financially to buy up a
Democratic Convention, and he is
working his campaign by the same
agency. He is buying up his oppon-
ents, with money he is silencing those
who are dangerous to him. and with
money h, is organizing that vast
mass of dangerous voters, the purelv
venal. There are men at work for
Tilden in this city handling thousands,
who never saw ten dollars of their own
money-there are thousands of small
Democratic papers paying off their
little mortgages, and the starving ''in-
dependent" press, all over the country,
are supporting Tilden, and their edi-
tors, for the first time in their lives are
wearing decent clothes, Sam. Tilden
is the first man who has ever under
take. to buy himself into the Presi
dency. Should he, by any accident, be
elected, his administration will be the
most corrupt that the c. untry has ever
been cursed with. Only think Of the
National Government controlled by
John Morrisey and Boss Kelly The
Republican who fails to do his whole
duty this fall, don't deserve tue name.
THE HEATED NIGHTS.
To the poor who are crowded into
the miserable tenements in the lower
parts of the city, the hot nights of the
past month have been terrible. To
stay in their miserably ventilated rooms
was to smother, and so they took the
streets for it, where it was a trife bet
ter. As early as nine o'clock, thou
sands upon thousands Of the poor,
men, women and children, were out on
the sidewalks, getting ready for sleep.
They brought out with them such Ian
kets and bed-ticks as they possessed
thousands had nothing whatever to
lie upon-and made up such beds as
they could upon the sidewalks, cellar
doors or any other place that was dry.
1t was curious sight to see mothers |
getting their little ones ready for sleep, |
to see girls and women twisting up |
their hair and making their limited |
toiled i'm the open air, under the glare |
of the gas lamps. But they were com. |
PEELED to do it, or die. The heat was |
so intense that to attempt to sleep in |
the rooms would be to invite death |
while living was possible even amid |
the stenches of the filthy streets. This
continued regularly every night for
over a month. To the poor in New
York all seasons are terrible. In the |
winter they freeze to death. and in the
summer they smother. The weather
is still hot, but it is more endurable.
TILTON.
Since my last there has change
come over Mrs. Tilton. She has signi
fed her willingness to take assistance
from Theodore, and he has sent her a
thousand dollars, upon which she is
now living. The children hereafter
are to live where they choose, and the
is that this much wrecked
family will, hereafter enjoy something
like peace. BY the way the people of
Plymouth Church have not used her
properly. Since the tria. they have
absolutely ignored her-only two or
three of the ladies of the congregation
having called upon her. They did
raise a purse of 81, 200 for her at the
close of the trial, but never a cent
since, nor have they in any way taken
any trouble TO ee tnat sue was III com-
