Cur Washington Correspondence
WASHINGTON, Jan. ), Is,

To the Editor Of the Free Press and Times.
The last straw was added to the back OF
Tilden's camel 10 DAY, when Cronin testified
before the Committee on Privileges and
Elections that he received three thousand
dollars for his share in the Oregon disgrace.
lie stated that he was approached and offer
ed an Office if he would act as an Elector
but being an upright man spurned the offer.
lie received the money in three drafts OF
FIVE hundred, one thousand and fifteen hun
dred dollars respectively, through Patrick, Of
Omaha, acting on the authority of Tilden.
These drafts were drawn ON Mr.. Tilden'-
banker in New York. and fraud is
50 patent in the whole affair that
it makes the Democrats tremble in
their boots. The Democrats are thorough
ly disguised with Cronin, and all give him
the cold shoulder. This afternoon, Hewitt
came over 10 the Senate chamber and spent
an hour listening to the recital Of the I'M
welcome tale, and then returned to the
House to seek consolation in the bosoms OF
Springer, Payne and Hunton. The drafts
have been sent for. Of course, Hewitt will
claim that Patrick acted without the knowl-
edge or sanction of Tilden. The testimony
fell like wet blankets on the hopes and aspi-
rations of the Democrats If ever party
was completely annihilated, that party is the
Democratic party. As a prominent Repub-
lean said tonight, it's all very well
to talk about the negroes cheating !;
but when you come to trace it to can
didate for the Presidency, it is beyond
comprehension. A leading Democrat said
to-day there must be putrid state of things
in the party when it is compelled to buy
men for such an honorable office as that of
Elector. This r. the death knel of "sham
reform" Tonight there is weeping and
crashing CT teeth in the Tilden camp; and
men not easily cast down mourn and refuse
to be comfoIted because their hope is no
longer in Samuel, the champion of reform
For the Republicans brighter day has
dawned, and it only remains for them to
enter on the more glorious future which
awaits the party of true progress, and of
true reform Yours, Don.

To THOSE who pretend to believe that the
two Houses OF Congress in convention have
any power over the electoral vote, the Ian
guage of Mr.. Charles Pinckney. one OF the
members of the Constitutional Convention,
is commended. TO give to Congress, he
said, in March, 1900, "even when assem-
bled in convention, a right to reject or admit
the electoral votes of States, would have
been as gross and dangerous an absurdity as
the trainers of the Constitution ever could
have been guilty Of"
