ONE OF MR.. IILDEN'S M ALIG
NERS EXPOSED,
Guyer's Faded Flower.
From the NeC YORK World

From the New York World.
Various Republican papers in the ives,
published recently letter from Rev. L,
W. Flower, formerly of Detroit, Mich,
charing Mr.. Tiden with using proiane
and violent language on the occasion of an
application by Flower to MIR. Tilden for
assistance in regaining post in the New
York custom house. Among other thing-
Flower charged that Mr.. Tilden cursed
him for having gone into the war, saying
that he was served right in losing leg
and that it was pity that he did not lose
both. The same paper published an al
legged confederation of the charges from
W. L. Warren. a custom house official,
which is disproved By the fact that Flow
ers's alleged conversation was had, not
with Warren, but with his successor. Rev.
W. r. Tillinghast, of Detroit, on being
applied to, said that Flower, in relating,
two years ago, the circumstances of his
removal from. the custom house, made
no mention whatever of Mr. Tiden' S
name. A reputable citizen of Adrian,
Mich, has also published card saying
that in conversation with an Episcopal
minister the latter gave him to under
stand that Flower received consideration
for his letter. 1t comes out, too, tina.
Flower is in Strengthened circumstances,
and that he left Detroit owing considerable

mending Blaine as high minded and
honorable Republican, whose political
advice ought to be followed. Four months
ago the Commercial said:
1t is all folly to talk about the letter By
Mr.. Blaine, offering rare chances in the
Northern Pacific road, as a perfectly
straightforward and ordinary business
letter. 1t is nothing of the kind. 1t is a
confirmation of the public suspicion that
Mr.. Blaine has long been an insider
in railroad rings The only important
thing in his explanation is the admission
that he wrot. it. These
things, taken in connection with Mr.
Blaine operations in Kansas Pacific aud
Northern Pacific, show that the ex speaker
stands well with the railroad rings
\ He will be pre- eminently the candidate

the most powerful corporated interests in
the Uuited States will have with it in pro-
curing subsidies OF lands. moneys and

The GRAND UNION, OF New YoRK-
Attention is directed to ,he card of Grand

An indisputable recommendation of this

We are informed that on Saturday pre-
vious to the Indiana election, Ed. Wilcox.
a post Office clerk on the cars between here
and Chicago, and for many years past and
now resident of this city, with his family.
told a friend of his that he was ordered to
be in Indianapolis on the Monday following
and was going to leave that evening. On
the Thursday following he was back again
and when asked how many times he voted
the Republican ticket, he said ''Sey-
enteen-and / would have voted more
if could" This is the information fur
nished us, and we believe it. The
thing charged upon Wilcox is not a
difficult one to do, when man can be
found willing to undertake it. The first
thing to do is to get fictitious names on the
register; next to find men to personate
them; hext to find others to swear them
through if challenged. Suppose, when
Ed. Wilcox reported at Indianapolis to the
Republican managers of this fraudulent
voting, he was given card with the name
John Smith at the 9Th voting district,
and with the men to swear him through il

claims to be John Smith. After voting hi
