New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1878-10-21


Last yeat Mr. Schell was made the leader Oh
the Kelly Democrats in u test-struggl with
Anti Tammany, and was roundly beaten.
This year il is quite possible that he nay be
equally unfortunate if Mr.. Kelly offers 100
bold defiance to respectable public oplnion
NOW Mr.. COYLE COMMITS HIMSELF
Il must be said that the cpher-usors show
themselves by no means able-bOdicd IN denial.
Mr.. Marble end Mr. Coyle have published
cards, and Mr.. WOolley has given statement
to a reporter of THE TRIBUNE, and what each
admits l. immeasurably more important than
what he ventures to deny. MI Marble admits
that he "always reported to Newly ork
tie corrupt offers made to him, denies one
utterly uuimpOrtant telegram, and takes pnuS
not to deny the sending or the receipt OF anJ
telegram of importance il the history. MI
Woollcy admits that lie did send the dispatches
10 New-York to stop Moses from making
propositions 20 the enemy" ana II the h'JS
discovered by us correctly translate those DIS
patches, will Mr.. WOolley convince anJ rodY
that they do not also translate correctly the
other dispatches from and to him and otheIsT
He also admits that his own case was such
that lie has thought il necessary to consult
Zone of our greatest lawyers" and that he
"laid the Florida business before him" 1t
was consolng to Mr.. WoOley to be Informed
that he chad done nothing wrong at any
"timc," but cold world will ask what he
needed to consult lawyer fort Was 1t to
find cut whether his conscience ought TO prick
hmf
Next, Mr.. Coyle also admits much and de-
MES little. He describes at needless length cor
rupt propositions made TO him. But no says,
Z" dIsclaim the transatiOn5 Of the kilograms
"made by THE TRIBUNE, and attributed TO me
cover the signature of Max" It IL not the
translating that Mr.. Coyle needed TO disolam
or deny. The TRANSACTIONS were made by HE
TRIBUNE; what Mr.. COyie takes pains not
to state is whether he sent the cipher
dispatches attributed to him. 1t is too weak
a trick to say, 81 disclaim the TRANSACTIONS"
in the hope that some one may understand
that he denies the sending OF the dispatches.
But, following the footsteps OF MIR. Match
Moses MaDton Marble, the virtuOus Coyle
also hicks out one dispatch, of no importance
in the history, and says il "Was never sent
I" by me-" and adds, nor the one dated No
vembcr II, from Raleigh, as ! have
mot been IN Raleigh since November
cor ~ If this very denial were not
curiously confrmatory Of the genmneness o.
the dispatches published by us, it might bc
dismissed without comment, because the
authorship of these two is of no sort of con-
sequence But it singularly happens that
three dispatches, entirely unlmpOrtant in the
history, are the only ones which Marble and
COyle pick out of hundreds for explicit de-
NAL, while all the more important kilograms
are passed in silence. 10 makes no difference
whether these were sent by Weed, Marble or
Coyle. But it would have been better for
them to deny nothing than to deny only these
dispatches, IA they VIII hereafter discover.
We fear it will be necessary 10 STIR mp
Mr.. Coyle's recollection on another point,
however. He says "a few minutes before my
" departure from New York for Florida, "a
member of the National Committee pre-
sented to me a gentleman about to leave on
the same train with me, whose acquaiDt-
ance with Florida politicians might be of
use, he said !" that the person thus intro
duced by "a member Of the National Commit
"tee," and going South from New-YOrk on
the same train, began to enighten me upon
"the efcaciOus use to which he could apply
ga very large sum Of money with which he
claimed to be able to secure from the Re-
turning Board favorable decision !"
and that this proposition was repeated
many times with greater detail by the
same person. COyle carefully Omits the
name. But it would be very useful to man
kind to know who that person was, and how
he came to be introduced in the committee
ROOM" as Colonel PeltOn says, and "by a
"member of the National Committee az
COyle says, because he had special kmOwl-
edge of Florida politicians, and how he
happened to go South on the same
train, just when the Democrats of Florida
had been telegraphiDg for material add"
This is decidedly interesting information.
But Mr.. COyle may as we'll tell the rest of it
now. as at later day and under oath. Who
sent that manf What member Of the National
Committee introduced him in the committee
rOOm7 How many separate and distinct still
hunts did Mr.. Tiden have, about that time
Speak up, Mr.. COyle.
