MR. TILDhN'S DhNIAL.

Mr.. Tilden has spoken at last Reader, Of
yesterdays TRIBUNE know already to what
effect for he has said just what we yesterday
predicted he would say, and has omitted just
what we yesterday declared he would omit
His card is before the public. We wish to
sneak Of it with the respect due to the CX-
plicit, earnest uttcrancc of "a man OF great
ability and recognized positiOn-a man whom
half the people in a nation of forty millions
voted to make their Chief Magistrate, and
citizen of Ncw-York, whose character
is part Of our civic wealth. What he
saws is clear, broad, emphatic in terms, and
meets the case against Inn as far As mere
denial can meet it. But ha, there ever been
a person acquitted, III the teeth Of strong cvi-
dcncc, upon his bare plea OF Not guilty y I
That, thus far, Is Mr.. Tidcns sole reply.
Against very powerful evidence, which fits
marvcllously in thousand details all that Ii
known Of his legal habits, his weaknesses If
character, his fOndncss for political "stIll-
"hunts, ,r.hs confidential relations with the
persons acting, and his use T. this day
of peculiar ciphcrs III tclcgIaphng-a&a
all this he puts his naked and uDaup-
ported word. The world over, the de
NAL Of person accused of an Infamous
deed has no weight whatever win jury,
Judge. or public opinion. If his character las
not been such as to render all the evidence
against him incredible, his word ao against
that evidence counts for nothing. 1t j.
merely plea of "Not guilty y and docs any
man suppose that he who is capable Of Il
crime Is incapable OF an untluth TO escape
the penalty OF crime
With real regret, we are compelled To tell
Mr. Tildcn that, as matters stand, the world
viii find it impossible 10 accept his naked as
scrtion as final He has been warned, rot 10y
tins journal only, bat 10y others which
warmly supported him for the Presidency,
that the public viii BE- unable 10 suppose that
Mr.. Tlldcn knew nothing of 4 correspondence
by telegraph carried Oh for four weeks be
tween Mr.. liden's nephew, III Mr. Tildcn's
own house, on Mir. lildcn's own business, in
a cipher familiar to and still used 10y Mr. Til
den, and involving the payment of sums of
money III his behalf larger than his
nephew possessed. What sane and unprciu-
diced person can believe this thing of
man SO cautious as Mr.. Tiden, and so
nO1d for personal attention to the details of
all his busnesSl But the denial in this case
will be held Incredible, because:
/. 1t comes too idie. Ii Samuel }. Tilden had
absolutely no knowledge of this cipher bust
ness, he would have told all the world 40 on
the very day that the first dispatches APP
peared. II he had been too pure and spotless
to know anything of such deeds under great
temptation, he would have been too honest
and too indignant to suffer eight days TO pass

States want to surrender all their liberties

But it Will be SAID, the masses of the party
want no such destruction of all the safeguards
of freedom. Very true but by their votes
they encourage and and the leaders and secret

Every vote for Grcenback ticket, however

without word. His hot denial would have
blazed out before the sun had gone down
once upon The accusation.
II. II cOrers too mucb. No reasoning man can
credit the assertion that absolutely nothing
was told him, by his trusted nephew In daily
intercourse in his own house, of all the cipher
dispatches which Werc innocent an contents ana
gave only news from his most trusted friends
in disputed States. But If he was told OF
their cipher dispatches up 10 the hour oi
criminal proposals. can any man believe That
the absence of any further advlccs or plans
from them passed, from that time onward
through all the critical days in four States,
without attracting Mr. Tilden's attention?

1ildcn's house. Even to this hour. Manton
Marble is his intimate friend, and smith
VI. W Wecd led his adicrcnts in the last state
Convention. Not thing has happened to
show that Mr.. Tildcn likes and trusts
these men less than he did in 1876. For
months the Oregon dispatches have been
before Mr.. Tldcn; for weeks enough of the
Florida and South Carolina dispatches to
cause him to demand explanations, If ig-
norant. Yet the actors in all the schemes OF
bribery are to this hour his trusted friends.
1t will be the verdict OF the world that an
honest man-nay, a man caring TO seem
honest, and not already in the power OF these
friends-wOud have publicly discarded them
long ago.
". 1t brings not scrap Of eridcnce, Mr.
Tilden has about him the trusted agents
whose dispatches have been printed. II
any of these dispatches are not genuine,
he could get in an hours time sworn state
ments that they were forged. If any of them
are wrongly translated. he could get in an
hours time the true key, and by producing
1t prove the error. He does neither as TO
any one of all the crime-ladcn dispatches
printed. If innocent, he has the power, i a

lectlons were admirable. and the committee

The Washington Post had greater courage
than Mr.. Marble in dealing wiCh his own
case. Mr. Marble denied the author
ship of one harmless little dispatch and left the
wicked dispatches alone. The Warrington
Post takes one of the wicked dispatches and
says that was the one which Mr.. Marble diSa-
vowed. But then The Washington Post hasn't
the same reasons that Mr.. Marble has for
knowing that lying, 10y detail, about thls Dusl-
ness would be a hopeless job.
1t is probable that the Canadian Cabinet

one of l.. b. Faukncr's letters TO william
NJ. Tweed which is printed elsewhere. shows
the friendly terms on which Mr. Faulkner
stood toward Tweed in the latter days OF the
famous campaign of 1871, when many
of the respectable members of the Demo
cratic party were opposing the Ring
chief whose crimes had then been made
fully known. But that did not dampcn the
ardor of Mr. Faulkner's regard, and he writes
Al r., ,,.;n to-
voters on the Erie Railroad for him. The
voters on that road whom Tweed did "Sce to"

the direction Of Lester Il. Faulkner.
