than his employees were willing to pay.
Look at these pregnant facts and see who
is the knave, Tilden or Hayes?
If Washburn reaches Congress as the repre-
sentative of this district, he will declare that
Hayes is an honest man, and fully entitled
to his Office. Down with Washburn and the
swindling brass kettles!
MR.. T1lDEN,S YIKDICATION.
/" Be thou as chaste ice, as pure as snow,
thou shalt not escape calumny."
Never was truer sentence uttered than
this. It's truth is becoming more and more
apparent every day. Culumny, with its
serpent tongue, is abroad in the land, and
there is none SO pure as to escape the poison
which it distils.
While the GLOBE does not approve all the
methods employed by Samuel j. Tilden to
reach the Presidential Office, it has never for
a moment believed that he has been guilty
of any act that can, by any fair construction,
be construed into dishonesty. The fact
that he was reputed to be immensely rich
the supposition that he would use his riches
to promote his election, and many jumped
at the conclusion that money would be cor
ruptly employed. But instead of being
lavish in tie expenditure of money during
the campaign, it was found that he was too
niggardiy in its disbursement for the legiti-
mate purposes of the campaign, and to this
may be traced his defeat in one or two of
the close States. While the electoral count
was in progress he was again charged with
corruptly employing money. In the Oregon
matter he was, after patient research, proved
gulltless. It was alleged that he offered
hundred thousand dollars for the vote of
one of the Louisiana electors, but this, on
received little credence. He has
recently been accused of attempting
to purchase the electors of Florida and
South Carolina, and series of dispatches in
cipher have been published, for which forced
translations have been obtained, which pre-
tend to show tender and acceptance of a
| bride. On its face the allegation is false,
for the Republican returning officers in
| those States were notoriously in the market,
and would have seized with avidity any such
| tender as it is pretended Mr.. Iilden or his
| friends made. The result of the canvass
showed that they had all been purchased,
body and soul, by the Republicans for a
mere fraction of what the New York Tribune
/ %ho ol,,;r "a.
call allege was offered them by Tilden. Not
one has neglected to claim the reward for
his faithful persistence in perjury and his
defense of ballot-box stuf6ng and forgery.
To the charges preferred against him Mr..
Tilden has, III violation of the rule of silence
maintained by him, given most emphatic,
sweeping denial-a denial that leaves moth
| ing whatever to be said, and which carries
conviction with it. To refuse to believe that
he speaks the truth is to confess ones sell
utterly depraved, without faith in humanity.
Not another word is necessary to complete
and render thoroughly convincing his vindi-
| cation.
In concluding his card Mr.. Tilden states
his views of the electoral commission
'that tribunal to which Congress had alb
dicted the function of deciding the count OF
disputed electoral votes.'' He evidently en-
tertains profound contempt for the men

price. He says of It: {

with authority to count the electoral votes
though unrestricted either as to the time wher
II should receive evidence, and as to the nature
OF mat evidence, and, though subject to no ap
peal from its decisions, was declared to have
no power to guide its own count by any infor
matlon 1t could obtain or by any authorit,
which it might accept from the wronged ano
betrayed States whose vote was about to hi

reached that the act of one man holding a de

to be of any service either to Mr., Tilden o,
to Congress. If he had thus expressed him.

Mr.. D. Il. Valentine, the elevator accent
