l
million and quarter of dollars!
With all these things ready, Iilden,
Nv his set of dummies" elected as
directors OF the Galena Railroad,
voted in legal phrase and form to
consolidate" it with the other corpor-
atoms above mentioned. The mil
lion dollars Of cash in its treasury
they turned over to Tilden's control,
and with concurrent proceedings con-
summated the greatest and most I'M
blushing fraud in railroad properly
and interests, ever known up to that
date, in this or any other country.
Be it remembered, that. by this gil
gantic fraud, Samuel j. Tilden made a
large part of his ill-gotten fortune of
''six Millions" and organized the first
| conspiracy known as a railroad ring
in the United States!
Following this are extended extracts
from James Parton's Manual for the
instruction of Rings Railroad and
Political; with history of the grand
Chicago and Northwestern Ring. and
the secret of its success in placing an
overissue Of Twenty Millions with a mar
gin of three millions, in three years.
And in this part of the book We find the
following: "7he proof Is incontestabie
that these consolidation suihd'es Of Sam
uet j. 1ilden. .fello,eed by the adrance in
the rates Of freight transportation on the
railroad lines ,ohich he controlled, led to
organized resistance Of the farmers IN the
Vest, knoacn as the Granger morement;;'
resulting in the enactment Of the Potter
Lao IN Wisconsin and restrictive railroad
legislation IN rdrious other States''

this combination, engineered by Little

was actually brought five dollars in debt
by shipment Of barley to Chicago!
At the end of the chapter quoted from
We have the following: 1.-The effect of
this document (Parton's statement)
was disastrous upon Tildsn. IN the
first year of his craftsmanship and be-
fore his partnership with Tweed had
taken effect on the city ballot boxes. he
had the modification of seeing the State
elections in the fall of 1866 60 against |
his political combination. Tilden
was in a quandary! To dispute the
facts he dare not. To ignore them was
nearly as bad. To silence them was his
policy. An active agent canvassed the
'ity of New York and bought mp every
.opy offered for SALE
Tilden's association with Cakes Ames,
Tom Scott and Jay Gould is reeited,
With ample references. Here is . sig
lifcant extract from the Congressional
Record:

Question by Jtr. Hodr.-Who we're the
ounsel that gave that advice?

This is quite enough for to-day-quite

veloped. What delightful President
would make-for Tom Scott and Le- I
