This despatch reveals that it had been agreed
upon between Tilden and Governor Grover
4 that the latter should issue certificate to
cronin,; that foreseeing the trouble involved
in the fact that Cronin was only one of three
and that his organizing an Electoral College
by himself, as hefinaly did, would be such
an utterrascalityas to be hopeless of success,
it was Thought necessary to buy up one Re-
publican Elector, and that $4,000 was con-
sidered fair price. This Infamous PROPOSE

So far as the cash was concerned there were
to be no contingencies, but Tilden Is politi-
? cal economist of high renown and little slow
in auditing accounts. The figure was worked
down to 49, 900. Time dragged on until the
9th of December when action was everything,

80 The essential point inthis array of kilograms
dis that rilden knew he was defeated unless he
could get that one Oregon vote and that he
:, paid $4,000 to get it, and then was cheated,
because the original plan of buying a Repub-
lican e1ector absolutely failed. But all this
correspondence reeking with dishonesty and
mean ambition, was carried on directly from
and.to the house of Mr.. Tilden, and his ne
phew and private secretary was the agent. II
is impossible that Mr.. Tilden could have been
ignorant OF this vile and long continued fraud,
He must have been consulted, and If no was
