SARCASTIC note from the Boston Herald
Mr.. Tilden's indignation when he learned
that intimate personal and political friends of
his had been sending dispatches about buy
ing electoral votes and even disgracing his
own house in relation thereto, by an unwar-
ranted abuse of hospitality, must have been
violent enough to be heard in New JERSEY.
The only modifying circumstance was the
failure OF their plot, as it turned out. Mr..
Tiden can never feel toward them exactly as
he did bsfore he discovered their lack of in
tegrity. In short, he must feel toward them
as the colored woman did toward her son,
who, being under strict orders not to steal
watermelons, was not only base enough to dis
obey orders, but mean enough to steal green
ones!
