Those Cipher Dispatches.

Mr.. Tilden appears to be ciphered out oil
the 1850 races.-N. Y. Eoening Mail.
The moral OF Marble: Be sure your cipher
will find YOU out.-N. Y. Express.
This would seem to be an appropriate occa-
sion for Mr.. Marble to toll that fire-bell in
the night without waiting for any further in
structions from Gramercy Park.-N. Y. Tri-
bune.
Isn't it about time for Democratic news
papers to run out that old woodcut of S. j. T.
with an All Sin smile on it? And they must
not forget to put under it, in large caps !:
"Honest Sammy Tlden." The Tribune has
recently been playing Daniel in decipheriDg
some dispatches sent by this good man and
true" that exhibit the true character of this
apostle of modern reform. -Binghdmpton Re
publican.
We can put Mr.. Tilden up to coup Petat
by which he can completely turn the tables
upon those who are striving to bring him to
grief by publishing the key to his cipher de-
spatches. Let him go before notary public
or commissioner of deeds and make affidavit
that in the sentence ''Reform is necessary
inscribed On the gonfalon which he bore in
1S76-Reform was typographical error for
Ffaud.-Albdny Journal.
If the Tribune'S translations are correct,
and the silence of the inculpated parties
leaves little room for doubt that they are,
then the peculiar friends and agents Of the
"Reform" candidate for President in 1879
were guilty of the most unblushing attempt
at bribery which ever failed of success. And
all this telegraphing came to naught. Gram
ercy Park was willing to pay money-its
agents were in the field to buy up Returning
Boards, but the unfortunate temper of Mr..
Tilden stood in the way of success. He
wanted to temporze and postpone. He
could not make up his mind that the time
for action had come. We have pointed
out that Mr.. Tilden's fatal lack OF de-
cision had cost him dear on more than one
occasion. 1t appears that it lost him the vote
OF Florida, which he and his agents were
ready to purchase and which his agents had
the refusal of at given figure. The lawyer
like desire to adjourn prevented Mr.. Tilden's
friends from actually buying up the Florida
Returning Board, but if the evidence now be-
fore the public is permitted to stand uncon-
tradicted, the moral stigma will attach TO the
transaction just as firmly as if it had been
successful. The evidence of attempted
bribery in Florida will destroy the effective
ness of the cry of s'fraud'' and ruin Mr.. Til
den as possible Presidential candidate. 1t
will also discredit the moral censors who,
fresh from attempts at bribery and corrup-
tion, which failed only through the procrasti-
nation of their principal, have denounced
with refreshing effrontery the turpitude of
their political pponents.-Graphic

rh Currency Question.
IIr. Hewitt Expresses His Sentiments.

The following interview with the Hon. ALVIN
II. Hewitt appears in the New York Post:
"Will Governor Tilden again be the Presi.
Dental candidate of the Democratic party?'
"The answer to that question involves the
answer to the questions whether or not there is
Democratic party; and, If there is, whether
1t will survive till the next Presidential cleo
tion'
"Does the Syracuse platform represent the
sentiments of the Democratic psrty?
81 think it represents very largely the think
ing men of the Democratic party. They stand
where Silas Wright and Marcy stood. They
are hard-money men, aud the party has always
been bard-money party. l would rather lose
the election entirely than to have any com-
promise On that question. The platform is

"Tilden and Reform"

The mighty interesting serial the Tribune
is now publishing does not meet with the ap-
proval of those Democratic editors who stop
crying "fraud'' long enough to speak of it.
They object to its low moral tone. II GER
tainly is story OF shame, but given for warn
ing and not for example. The ''reform" of
which so much was said during the cam
paign of 1876 appears to have been reform in
the manner of filling the Presidency. The
Democratic leaders endeavored to fill it by
purchase instead of by ballot. Mr.. Tden
declined to ''raffle for the Presidency" be-
cause he didn't care to take any chances. He
preferred to buy it.-and perhaps would have
succeeded had he not attempted to drive so
sharp bargain. While he was haggliDg over
the price the opportunity passel-it is to be
hoped never to return.
The deciphering of these dispatches that
passed between Gramercy Park and Tilden's
agents in Florida make clear the meaning of
that peculiar phrase--peculiar as applied to
politics-''a still hunt" 1t means the bribery
of electors aud canvassing boards. The cand.
date of the Democratic party, Its chosen lead
er, entered into conspiracy with certain
other men to buy up the Florida returning
board. The evidence of this is irrefutable.
The conspiracy only failed because of the
habitual procrastination of the chief conspira-
tor. The result of the exposure must be the
political ruin of Mr.. Tilden. To use his own
vigorous language: 'The American people
will never condone fraud"
The Tribune promises to supplement the
exposure already made with the history of
the attempt to swindle the Republicans out
intima.es that Mr.. Manton Marble. who fig-
ures in the deciphered dispatches sometimes
as "Moses" and again as "Mobble" will have
another chance to remark that ''traces oil
money payment are darkly visible" The
matter thus afforded will be good material for
the Potter Committee to work upon, and we
hope to see that august body devote its atten-
ton to these latest evidences of fraud.
While waiting further disclosures concern
ing the attempted "great stear' it is interest
Ing to learn that there is fair prospect Of
getting at the true inwardness of the little
steal OF the Marquette Iron Mine books. In
that transaction, too, cipher dispatches con-
spicuously fgure-despatches that passed
last month between Marquette and Gramercy
Park. Singularly enough the cipher is the
same that was used in the attempted Florida
purchase. Perhaps the Tribune will take the
trouble to translate it, and put new brand
OF fraud upon the brow of "honest Sammy
Tilden."

THE adoption Of hard-money resolutions
by the Missouri Republican convention is not
surprise. but is none the less gratifying.
The most significant incident in the session
of the convention was the offering of resolu.
tion nominating Gen. Grant for President in
1880. The resolution s'was received with
tremendous applause" the press dispatches
say, ''but it was thought inexpedient to adopt
it,"
