TILDEN AT WORK.


"W0rld" and Retnstated Marble.
brooklyn Eagle Dem.)i
An event of last week was the open iden-
tifcation of e1-Gov. Tiden with anti-Tam-
many politics. He has been chosen dele.
gate from the ward in which he lives to the
general committee of the city Democracy of
New York. That organization purposes to
combine all the anti-Kelly Democrats in the
metropolis, and contest for control.
Two other events have close relation to
the one just stated. The World newspaper
is reported to have become the property of
ex-Gov. Tilden, by purchase from Mr..
Thomas Scott and others. Co-incidentally
with that report appeared in that paper an
interview, with an apparent purpose, held
with Mr.. Tilden, to make it known that he
had no part, lot or interest in the Conkling
disclosure, and that in no event would he be
candidate for governor next year, or Unit
ed States Senator this winter.
There was, furthermore, leader of con-
siderable significance and striking novelty
disclosure. It read suggestively between the
politics and the Presidential question should
be de. ersonalized. How? By definitely as
certaining and declaiming whom the truth
elected in 1876, And how was that to be
done? By passing the bill, going with the
Maryland memorial now before Congress,
and having an exemplary, equity trial of the
great case? No; but by a thorough inquiry
by the House. That proceeding would, it
was held, relieve the question of doubt, and
the nation of dishonor; it would also lift the
mortgage Mr.. Tilden now has on the 1880
nomination, by vindication and for repara-
ton, and leave the field open for Demo-
cratic statesmen to contend for the prize on
equal terms. If this was not done, Mr..
Tilden's friends and enemies alike in the
Democratic party, would, by their constant
agitation of him, make him the subject,
perforce, in 1880, of the great
national atonement which the people would
make for their allowance of the fraud.
Wherefore, as if to depersonalize the issue,
and raise it far above the question of Mr..
Hayes and Mr.. Tilden, the World demand
ed that the matter be legally settled and
equitably ascertained, so that stupendous
controversy be not ensmalled to the dimen
sions of any brace of candidates, and SO that
the Democracy in 1880 be as free to choose
Mr.. Tilden or Mr.. Anybody else as they
could wish, instead of, as now, by honor, by
limitation and complication, being 'Epre-
determined to him.
And on Saturday that leader of Friday was
followed by one which implied that the re-
turning board fellows were willing and ready
to swear that the visiting statesmen told
them to count in Hayes electors and count
out Tilden electors, regardless alike of law
and truth. "for the national protection
that they would be protected in doing the
wrong, and that they did just that wrong
and did it on the largest scale. The World's
leader to-day is to the same effect.
The foregoing is complete but compact
statement of what new departure has fol
lowed at once on the reported new owner
ship of the World. Tildenism is a strange
growth in that soil. Its quick and stately
development argues the use of rarely ricl
fertilizers, and the culture of most prac
tical and friendly hand. There can hardl,
be any doubt that Fridays and Saturday
leaders in the World were written by its OLE
editor and founder, Manton Marble, or wer
SO dictated or formulated by him that tn,
work of denial of his authorship would ia,
very severely the mental reservation unde
which the thing that is not is sometimes as
serted. There was Mr.. Conkling himself re
ported in the World, in effect conceding MI
Tilden's right to the Presidency, and ''dis
claiming 'ssurreptitious interview jus
enough to give the idea that it was no
so ''surreptitious" after all, and tina
it might be part of the very collision, t.
seem little angry at being made talk. Ha
uralizing him-while Kelly has been foolin,
only with Conkling's call boys? That is
terrible thought, and if anybody can mega
tive it, his right to frst-class notice il
the two papers-both weakly-will be recog
niZed.
All of which shows that Mr.. Tilden's un
j derstood return to politics has been sensa
tional in its reception and results. It ais
shows that the Democratic party means t
have a fight in this State, and seems dispose
to recruit the contestants on both sides iron
its own ranks. It is to be hoped that tina
fight will be made up or fought out in tim
unitedly to attack the Republicans
not, that organization will reap another ad
vantage by Democratic folly, and the humble
of such advantages is already large enough
