POLITICAL.
If anybody supposes that the desper-
ate gang Of Democratic politicians who,
with Sammy Tilden at their head, have
any idea of giving mp the contest for
the possession of the federal spoils, they
are mistaken. This vetern schemer
began this campaign in iniquity, he COIL
Quoted it with fraud, and he intends to
reap It's fruits by the same means. lie
intends to contest it peaceably, provided
he can win in that way, but rather than
lose it. will resort to force. Rather
than not have the control of the Gov
ernment, these desperadoes would in-
augurate q new rebellion. The lie fac
tory, known as Tildeu's editorial bureau,
is as hard at work now as before the
election. Its business now is to fill the
press with stories of Republican frauds,
the object being to SO impress the public
mind with the idea that Hayes is not
fairly elected, as to justify the Demo
cratic House III refusing to recognize
him, and to give color to the rebellion
they intend to inaugurate. The head
quarters of the concern are here, under
+. TildelPs personal control, but they have
branches in Charleston, Columbia, Tai
iahassee and New Orleans. The zeal
and ingenuity manifested would be ad-
mirable were they employed in better
cause. For instance one day they tele-
graph North from New Orleans, that
Senator Sherman has telegraphed to
Hayes that the frauds are so apparent
that he had better at once withdraw,
and before this infamous lie is contra
dicted they will telegraph that Ex- Gov
erDor Dennison, of Ohio, has telegraph
ed the same thing to Hayes, and all
the Republicans present, have acknowl-
edged that Louisiana voted for Tilien
and that they are about to return.
From Florida they telegraph similar
statements, and the way they praise
Wade Hampton, and the South Carroll
ma rebels for moderation and high-toned
patriotism is astonishing. Now be it
known that these kilograms and state
ments are concected here in New York,
that there isn't word OF truth in them;
shat S. J. Tilden revises every one OF
them, and that they all pass under his
hand before they are photographed
South to be scattered broadcast over
the country. OF course he knows that
they will be contradicted, but he knows
aIso that many will never see the con-
tradiction, and that nasty impression
viii be left on the minds of those who
dc. Il viii have the effect to justify
him In what he intends to do, to some
extent at least, it furnishes catch
words to put into the months of his
followers A very smart man is Sam
ueI J. Tilden-were he as honest as he
is smart he would be very useful man
instead of the curse to the world he is.
The Republicans of New York, not
withstandinG they are in hopeless
minority, are not at all frightened at
the struggle thus forced upon them.
They know that Hayes was fairly elect
ed, and they pay no attention whatever
TO the bluster that is showered upon
5 them. And the monied portion Of the
Democracy are not as anxions for trouble
as the place hunters are. In the event
of trouble their business would suffer
first of all and the Democratic merchant
has Just as sensitive pocket-nerve 81
the Republican. When the crisis comes
yon will see these gentlemen weaken
and possibly they may wish that al
along they had been with the part o
law aud order.
