Gov. Tilden is strong to-day in New
\ FORK in precisely the same quarters where
his strength lay in 1874. 1t must be re-
membered that he encountered and over
came all this opposition two years ago, and
that his success in the convention was foil
owed by the most notable Democratic vic
tory in our recent political history. His
; enemies credit him with possessing more
+ power than mortal man ever did or ever
will possess. They assert that he lacks
popular strength, and argue when primary
follows primary and convention backs con
vention in support of him that he has
, worked them all up himself The absurdity
of the accusation ought to be its sufficient
answer. Mr.. Tilden is nobody's ''favorite

Last evening about 8 or 10 o'clock,
] about 10 or 20 boys or young men were
. standing around the corner of Exchange
and Union streets at or near Goetsch S sa-
e loon, when Policeman Taylor came along
, and ordered them to dispense as they were
blocking the walk They did not seem in
clined to do SO and commenced to use
abusive language towards him. Having
d his club in his hand be hit one of them,
0 named John Imhof, over the head with it
: but did not suppose that he had hurt him
as he still continued to abuse him. 1t
e turned out however, so his father says,
s that the blow cut his head inficting
i wound about inches in length and hurt
e hilD so that he is partially insane. No
doctor was called. Imhoff lives on Union
| tUc hiooEc ha1nu, E-ala--1 ID,
S liceman Taylor says that Mr. Goetsch has
asked him several times to dispense gangs
, of rough boys who hang around near his
place, throw clay, etc. at his house, break
5 ing windows and creating disturbance. 1t
) is hoped that young Imhoff is not seriously
5 iDjured-but the police must be sustained
5 in dispensing gangs of corner loafers,
5 whatever may be the result to the hood
# ums who thus become a public nuisance.
