ne lent the use of his name to Tammany
Hall so that ballot boxes might be stuffed,
lection returns forged, and Hoffman
counted in as governor. He was endeavor-
ug to organize victory when he consented |
70 the demand for peace at any price at Chi |
,ago. He was organizing victory when he
,dvised the New York democratic state
convention to declare that in the tndeavor
o resume specie payments there should be
mo step backward He was organizing
when he dictated TO the st. Louis conven-
ion the demand for repeal OF the re-
.umption act. lie was organizing when
IN advertising agency was used to pull up
mis- virtues and availability at ten cents
line. His talents for organization culmin-
tied when the st. Louis convention was
captured in his behalf. He is still playing
the role of organizer but we believe the
people will rebuke him as they rebuked
Butler, and Blaine, and Conkling.
But his skill as an "organizer" is not
confined to politics. lie was organizing
when he procu ed the consolidation of the
Galena and Chicago railroad with the Chi
cago and Northwestern railroad, by which
| jne of the best managed roads and best pay
ing of northwestern railroads was swallow
| ed up by bankrupt and almost worthless
| corporation, whereby the savings of years,
| The sole dependence OF the unfortunate
people living on the line of the former road,
he trust funds belonging to widows and
orphans, were swept away in day, and a
| blight, as it were, fell upon the entire pop
ulation. He was organizing when he acted
rs one of the purchasing committee" Of
he st. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute rail
road for his acts and neglects in connec
ion with which, he is now charged will
fraud before the st. Louis courts, and IL
which, at his own request, the time for hi
answer has been postponed until after TIL
November election. He was organizing
when he issued in Michigan his so calle'
-" iron money!" which the courts of tina
state have characterized as 'illegal," a
utterly worthless for The purpose OF cir
" culation," and as ga spurious, worthless
; " bastard cur ency." OF this stuff he ha
: in circulation some four millions of dol
lars, and when the government laid 1t
, iron hand" on the "iron money" Tide
p bowed HE talents as an "oTgsnizer" b
J occurring to be struggled through congres
4 a bill by which he and his confederate
we're relieved of all penalties save non
ual fine.
Yes, Samuel ]. Tilden is great "orgar
"izer," and he will, as democratic new
E, papers and stump orators tell US, bring a
his great organizing powers in play to 81
. cure his election. The people are not pa
ticularly anxious to see the offices file
with political "organizers," with politics
manipulators; but unless they bestir then
selves, machine politics may again triumph
To be 1orewarned, however, is to be for
armed. Ia order to defeat Governor III
{ den, it is only necessary that the peop
should understand the means he will reso
to, and quietly determine once more TO r
p buke caucus dictstion. Samuel j. Tide
represents machine politics. Rutherfor
B. Hayes represents the protest of the PEE
1 pie against machine politics. 1t remain
for the people to determine whether the
, will continue to be governed by the IN;
D chine, or whether they will make the pr,
, test emphatic Their answer cannot /
, doubtful.
