BRIDGEPORT.
EIectiDg Delegate TO the Republi-
can Congressional Convention.

can Congressional Convention.
Correspondence OF the Register.
Saturday was a lively time in Bridge
port. The delegates to the Congr, sionsl
Convention at S eubenville were TO be
elected at the primary elections. Two
sets of candidates were in the field, one
sci in the interest CT Updegrstf, the other
nominally for Poormau, but the knowing
ones say really for Reilly. The contest
was hot and heavy, the delegates cleo
tioncering strong. The result was two
TO one against Updegrsff. Wouldn't it
make 8 lively fight ii, in such strong
Republican district, there should be Il
bolt and sn independent candidate?
Such things are vaguely hintci, but it
docs not seem at all likely that sach will
be the case. Some p2rti5 lost their
very free use of elegant Ian
guase WIS INDUCED in by several.
To locker on in Venice it seems as if :
fight were imminent, but we believe that
no subjects were made for the dIsscclIng
table. The Democrats stood around and
enjoyed the fun. They had been parties
to the quarrel so often that they rather
enjoyed seeing g family spat IN which
they were not Involved. 1t is rather PC
cular to hear the friends OF the different
candidates abuse the others. The enc
mics of the Mt Pleasant candidate &C
cuse him of being gay Lothario, Il
political trlcksLer, who defeated Bing-
ham years $50, and persistent office
hunter. The gentleman from Weilsyllle
is charged with being An Irish Catholic
who Is not en- regLs on the temperance
question, and who, being an old bachelor,
isn't the man for those Republicans, who
deem this vice in Tilden, TO nominate.
Bellaire's fAYorito son is called turn
coat, Greeleyite, etc. We have heard Tar
less euphonious terms used about them ALL
but forbear TO mention then.

TILE WHULE STORY.

The operations of No. Is Gramcrcy Park,
after the defeat Of Mr.. Tilden by the people.
can now be traced in the cipher dispatches
sent TO his confidential agents Ill the disputed
States, or to his residence by them. The
story in detail has been told the story u
whole needs only @ few references TO the dates
which fit the several parts together.
Within a few hours after the result of the
popular vote was known. certain confidential
agents notorious for skill in the Use Of money
were on their way to four distant States. Mr..
Smith NJ Weed. the noted lobbyist Of Albany.
aud Mr. John +. Coyle. the noted lobbyist of
Washington, went South On the same train.
one to South Carolina and the other To Florida.
Mr.. Patrick went with Senator Kelly to
Oregon, and Mr.. WOolley went with ex-
Governor Bigler to Louisiana. All of these
agents were provided with secret ciphGrs
known TO No. Is Creamery Park. and comma
nicated privately 10y means OF those ciphers
with Mr.. 1lldcn himself or his nephew and con-
fidential secretary, at No. Is Gramcrcy Park,
Nr Tilden's private residence. 1t is in EVIL
dence that cipher dispatches were addressed
to Mr.. Havcmeyer only as IA blind, and were
really sent to No. 10 Creamery Park. few
dispatches were sent to Geo. w. Smith, either
at No. - Creamery Park or at No.12 Wall-st,
but he was Mr. Tilden's Confidential clerk. Two
or three were sent to NJ. X. Hing, clerk of the
Democratic Committee. at the Everett House.
who reported directly to Mr.. PeltOn. Much
the greater number were addressed to Colonel
PeIton himself, but some of these and of
others were addressed inside the cipher TO
"RusSia Mr. Tilden himself Ii Is in evil
dence that, while none were openly addressed
to Mr.. Illdcn, great many were BY direction
delivered to him in person
Mr.. Smith VI. Weed, a person trusted then
and ever since by Mr.. Tilden i'll his most con-
tidcntial work, and selectcdi by him only last
month to lead his forces in the Democratic
State Convention, was the first to make mani
fest the purpose for winch such trusty agents,
skilled in the use of money, had been selected
rs soon as the election was over, and sent
into the doubtful States armed with secret
ciphcrs. He reported TO No. Is Gramercy
Park that South Carolina had voted for HAYES,
but ITS electoral vote could br bought for
$50, 1000 The reply received from Gramercy
Park caused him to start at once for Balti-
more TO get the money. which he had requested
TO have sent to that city in three packages
of greenbGclls, one of SGj 200, one Of $10,-
900. and one of $1,000. Whether he was
deceived IN the belief that votes would be-
delivered for the sum named. or whether
corrupt members of the Board feared bad
faith because OF delay and the action of the
local court, certain 1t Is that they amazed Mr.

Of their respectable cOmpatriots. They always
growlp say Layerty & Mullins, but they al
ways get whipped into line in time to vote"
And there Ia much in the political history OF
Hudson County to Justify the confidence or
Laverty & Mullins. But Noah ID. Taylor, after
long and infragrant career as Democratic
Office holder was after all defeated for Congress by
Democratic votes and the Democrats who defeated
him were the choice men of their party-the very
salt which kept 1T from putrefaction. with are
putabe ticket, reputably nominated, there conId
be no doubt of Democratic success III that county
But everybody there il growing sick of everlast-
ingly paying taxes to support Laycrty In ONCE,
and thoughtful Democrats are ripe for revolt
against the bullying aud buying which make their
party conventions broad buresques on anything
like an earnest or honest or orderly effort Of Aneri-
can citizens to select candidates to make or admin
lister their laws
With full comprehension of these facts, the Re-
pubicans nominated man for Congress who com
pels the respect of eyerybOdy--a true Republican,
standing squarely on the side Of honest money III
the capital issue Of the canvass, but standing Just
where Senator Bayard stands with q sturdy minor
ity of his party the East. lt NAV be
that there are high-ninded Democrats who
Will be driven to vote for Patrick Laverty when
they have an opportunity to honor their district and
their State by eleCtng such a man rs Lewis Il.
Brigham. 1t is possible that there are reform Demo
Gratis who will vote for Mullins when
man like. Colonel Tofey is in the field.
But it, in this fight against the corrupt ring which
for years has made the politics of Hudson County
stencil in the nostrs OF deccncy, these discon-
tented gentlemen. after all this splitting on their
hands and doubling up their fists and hOarse
threatening, do not now enlist on the side OF the
peOplc-for the struggle Is one above and beyond
any mere contest for party supremacy-they Will be
greeted. when next they speak of retorr, with
shouts OF dersiye laughter.

TRITIdLITIES.

Before anybody charges with fiction and
forgery" We wish to call attention to minportant
Il p of the pen in the South Carolina story yestcr-
day, by which Colonel Haskell was Incidentally
mentioned in connection with the authorship OF a
message $50 far know, a perfectly innocent
onel signed " Pope" As It had just been distinctly
stated that 80 Pope was not laskcll' but was
probably senator Gordon. the error was obvious and
it il likely that almost every reader corrected
it for himself The dispatch in question
was one of little significance, nothing more than
conjecture offered to ts origin. and whoever
the writer may have been no improper transactions
were attributed TO HIM.
We invite attention 10 the matter because 1t
10 to be expected that persons unpleasantly
affected by these cipher disclosures Will soon
begin to pick out trivial errors Of the trans
lator or the copyist or the printer. and hold
them up as evidence that the story Is
forgery from beginning to end. During
he past ten days InE TRIBUNE has filled more
than thirty of it's broad columns with the narrative
of these CIPHER, and II certain that in tins lm-
mcnsc amount of matter PIT in type in the midst
Of the rush and pressure of morning newspaper
cuuposin groom, there are numerous small ms
takes. In reproducing cipher messages especially,
where the sense o. the words il not apparent, both
copyiss and printers apt to drop words or com
MT other blundcTs, which now and then escape the
eve the revser, and of course when even single
word Of a trau5po,ci dispatch is dropped or mis-
placed, the key apparently fails. An expert de-
clphcrer can readily discover these errors; but
probably most Of the persons who will take
us to task for them have no wish to learn
the truth. We have already found q few
triiling clerical and Typographical mistakes, but
none which affect in the rcmotest degree the sense
OF the story. II we do find any We shall let the
public know It.

Mr.. 1ildrn, il il whispered, is busy on " a
statement" Mr. Pclton. Mr.. Smith Weed,
Mr.. Havcmcvcr and even that estlmabIc

in another. Perhaps. But if any statement IL
10 be made, we can tell very well, IN advance,
about what 1t Is to be.
1. Mr.. rildcn Will say, ~ he has already
sad 10 the Editor Of IHT TRrBrNH. that he
knew nothing whatever of what was gong
on about him that be sent no cipher dis
patches. received none, knew of none, and
believes that none were delivered at his house.
But he will not explain who furnished the
large sums of money. He will not explain how
II happened that he never asked his nephew
what was going on. He will not explain how
he continues to Use the same ciphcrs to this
day IN his private business. He will
not show how Twecd's man, Smith
N. Weed. came 10 be working so zealOusly for
HIM by Twccd's methods He will not
say that he has Indignantly broken ot
all connection with the corrupt gang,
and turned a nephew that deceived
and disgraced him ont OF his house.
We shall take no issue with such q state
ment. We have brought no charges against
MIR. Tilden. We have discovered and de-
clsred the facts and We leave people
tn decide for themselves whether they prefer
TO think OF him as candidate who
could be surrounded and unconsciously used
by such n gang, or as candidate who drew
10 him and skiliully employed the tools he
best knew how to work with.
9. Nr. Pelton. Mr. Weed Mr.. Coyle ct a..
will protest that they are themselves the
scapc- goats who should forthwith be
laden with the sin OF the ciphcrs,
and driven into the wilderness. They
will say they meant no harm; that they
were merely buying their own; that they
were run down by Republican emissaries
from each of the disputed States Offering
10 sell electoral votes at cxtortiona,e rates {;
that they Thought it well to deal with the
principals direct, or at least tn draw them ont.
They will insist that they knew the
Republicans wero bidding against them.
They Will protest, IA far as they dare,
that the dispatches are not fairly
given or faithfully translated. Above all.
they will declare upon honor that the guile
less and unsophlsticated Mr.. Tlden knew
nothing whatever Of their efforts to buy for
him tho Presidency of the United States.
We'll. ont with it The public will listen
and laugh.

That veteran organ of the Massachusetts Demo.

General Butler in prose, has assailed HMM rhyme, of
which the following is "a specimen: For many years
you have reved U.s. Benny mine; Worse than traitors

different boats And you cannot have our votes
For you've turned too many coats, Benny mine

answer this, at least in kind. for we do not he
licvc, however his eye may have rolled in fno
frenzy, that he ever made verse III his life.
Mr.. MantOn Marble seems to have been so
thoroughly agiated by the cipher disclosures that
all the hundred-pouEder dictionary words have
been shaken OUT of him. If there is not much else
20 be sad for his card. in which he denies the au-
thorshlp of one innocent telegram, and leaves all
the wicked ones to " pass on INTO echoes more or
less noisy" 1t at least exhibits him, almost for tho
first time in his life expressing himself III the Eng
lish language.
OF course it was not the lawyer, Tilden, but only
that bad nephew Of his, who sent from Creamery
Park the long dispatch in dictionary cipher of De-
cember "A dispatch crammed with legal phrases,
advising legal processes and proposing 10 imDrison
Republican electors 1t Is well known that Mr..

eminent counsel in their search after truth and
money.
We observe without surprise that Nr Match
Moses Manton Marble neglects to produce the keys
OF cipher dispatches sent by him, in order to prove
that THE TRIBUNE has translated them incorrectly
OF course he will DO that this very morning before
breakfast He will; he will.
Reform" is it, to lock up in separate cells the
duly chosen Electors of State, that they cannot
meet and cast their votes for President on the day
required by law. very little reform of that sort
will satisfy the American people.
Mr.. Marble was finally reused very late Tuesday
night but it can hardly be sad that he rang ire
hell
