Tilden's Barrel of Money.

From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.
It is quite obvious to those who per-
sonally know the character of Samuel J.
Tilden that he is using money, and
freely too, for electioneering purposes.
Tilden is known to be very rich. His
wealth is computed at seven or eight
millions. We do not estimate it at
more than three or four millions, still
that is vast fortune for a single man
with no children. It has been princi-
pally made out of the spoils of
bankrupt railroads. Tilden is very am
bilious. He had been scheming for
years to be Governor of New York. At
last he got the nomination, and was
elected, to the surprise of all parties,
for the reason that he is personally un-
popular. But he planned and he
worked, and he drew from his barrel OF
money, and, as the tide was running
against The Republican party, he was
carried in on that wave. By similar
scheming he has obtained the nomina
ton for the Presidency, and we believe
he considers it good investment te
spend one million of dollars, if that ex

The Last Bottle.

The Brussels Echo Musical tells the
following story of Nicholas Joseph
Patel, the famous French violoncel-
list: "Being i'll, and. as usual, destitute
of means, he wrote to the Prince de
Chimay, a great musical amateur and
patron of artists. The Prince returned
a most kind answer, accompanying it
with hamper filled with bottles of old
wine, to which PLATED fastened to give
a hearty welcome. The consoling balm
operated marvelously. But Patel
thought he required a great deal of such
medicine, so the hamper was soon
empty. He sent it back to his noble
friend, with note containing the words
Do Capo. The appeal was perfectly
well understood, and Patel received as
graceful a token of the interest the
Prince took in him as he had received
on the first occasion. Thinking of the
various marks and signs of repetition
which musical science still had in store
the musician reached the last bottle. Il
had most seductive appearance Of
antiquity. Taking it up very careful
ly, Patel perceived that label had
been recently pasted on it. Was the
label the mark of any famous growth
or celebrated year? Alas it bore only
one wCrd-Coda."

we do not assert that Mr.. Tilden
won Id expend that money outright in
buying votes. Such is not his mode.
be does it by planning and organizing;
by enllsting the active support of all
the local leaders in every county in the
| Union. OF course money must be
placed in their hands for organization.
He does not care or inquire in what
manner the money is used, provided it
is rendered effective. u.
The recent development of the skull
duggery of James r. Doolittle at Chi
cago We attribute to Tilden's barrel of
money. Doolittle never worked with
out pay, that is known to be his charac-
teristic. Tilden is rich, and Doolittle
knows how to draw from rich client.
When James r. Doolittle falsely assum-
ed the name Of F. A. Remick, in order
to ensnare Republican voters into the
Illden trap, he SO acted in perfect
unison with the past partisan tactics of
Tilden; and we have no hesita-
ton in believing that the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency was cog
infant that Dool1t5le would personate
r. A. Remick, nominally the secretary
OF the Republican committee, in order
to deceive the Republicans of Wiscon-
sin. The fact that Doolittle has here
tofcre held high and honorable posi-
ton is the very reason why Tilden
would like to make such man his cat 8
paw. OF course, deal of indignation
against Doolittle will be manifested
throughout the state. But the voters
should bear in mind that Doolittle is
nothing but the tool, while Tilden is the
real offender. 40

q. s. H.:
SIR: The House of Representative s
Of the United States, on the 10th inst,
passed the following preamble and reso-
luton:
WHEREAS, The right Of suffrage prescribed
by the constitutions of the several states is
subject to the fifteenth amendment of the
constitution of the United States which is as
| follows: - Article Is. Section 1. The right of
citizens of the United States to vote shau not
be abridged by the United States nor by any
state on account Of race, color or previous con-
dltlon OF servitude, ETC. 2. Congress shall
| have power to enforce this article by appropri.
| ate legislation; -" and
WHEREAS. The right of suffrage go pre-
| scribed and regulated should be fai thfully
maintained and observed by the United States,
ana the several states, and the citizens Thereof;
| and
| WHEREAS. It is asserted that the exercise of
the right OF suffrage is in some of the states
notwithstanding the efforts of all good citl-
zens to the contrary, resisted and controlled by
fraud, intimidation and violence, so that ir
| such cases the object Of the amendment is
defeated; and
WHEREAS, All citizens. without distinction
OF race, class or color. are entitled to the pro-
lection conferred by such article; therefore,
be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives
that all attempts by force, fraud, terror, in
timidation Or otherwise, to prevent the free
exercise Of the right OF suffrage in any state,
should meet with certain, condign and effect
uai punishment, and that in any case which
has heretofore occurred, or that may tera-
after occur, in which violence or murder has
been or shall be committed by one race or
class upon the other, the prompt prosecution
oh, Ia
in any court having jurisdiction is imperatively
demanded, whether the crime be one punish
able by fine Or imprisonment or one demand
ing the penalty of death. aH
The President directs that in accord
ance with the spirit of the above you
are to hold all available force under
your command not now engaged in sub
DUNG savages of the western frontier,

CamDaign Notes.

AMONG the names OF speakers enrolled
for the campaign by the National Re-
publican Committees are those of Mrs.
Devereux Blake, and Mrs. Jane 0. De
Forest.
A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Times mentions eight prominent Dem
ocrats OF Onondaga county, in that
state, who have abandoned Tilden and
are supporting Hayes, and this is an
indication OF the general drift through
out the state.
The New York Evening Post thinks
that before Mr.. Manton Marble would
have much chance to be elected Gov
ernor OF New York he would have to
''repel the injurious insinuation that
he not only approves the st. Louis
platform, but is actually the author of
it,
The Democrats held possession of
the town of Windsor, Maine, for four
teen years. At the last election the Re-
publicans carried it, after hard fight,
and found the town accounts il mixed
and ugly shape. Investigation shows
that the Democratic officials stole 3d.
443, five per cent. OF the entire valua.
ton Of the town. Pretty reformers are
they.
The lawyers of New York declare
that the answer of Governor Tilden in
the Terre Haute, Alton and st. Louis
railroad case does not meet the question
at Issue, which is whether he or his col
leagues were authorized to issue and
dispose of bonds amounting to S24S,-
600 more than the ones to be retired.
One lawyer who has examined the
pleadings holds that, argue as Mr..
Tilden may, the stockholders had inter-
ests which any court of equity would
compel him to respect. Elc
The talk about the relationship be-
tween the wife of General Sherm an and
Mr.. Blaine has drawn from the Des
Moines Qa.) Register this explanation:
"Mr. Blaine's mother was daughter
of Neal Gillespie, jr., of Indian Hill.
Washington county, Pa. Another
daughter was the wife of the late
Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, and the mother
of Mrs. Sherman. Another daughter
was the wife Of Henry Stan berry, Presi-
dent Johnson's Attorney General, and
still another married Philade1ph Van
Trump, formerly a representative in
Congress from Ohio"
Reform is necessary" at least so
thought Sam Mcbride, Recorder Of
Pueblo county, Colorado, and Treasurer
of the school fund, delegate to the St.
Louis Convention. and member of the
committee to notify Tilden of his nomi-
nation. He proceeded to carry out his
reformatory notions by absconding with
$13, 900 of the school fund in his posses.
SOD. He is supposed to have sailed for
South America. "Reform is necessary
we second the demand Of the st. Lou
Convention.
