THAT BAR'L OF MONEY.
Tilden's Cipher Dispatches to Florida--He
Offers Half a Hundred Thousand for an
ElectOr, but Too Late.
Special Telegram to the Cincinnati CONNER.
New YORK, Oct. THE Tibme's
six columns, this morning, giving a key
to the Tilden cipher dispatches, created
sensation not only, but piqued curios-
ity Tilden's friends are beginning to
squirm. The San absolves Tilden from
all blame, and lays it on Coyle, Have
meyer, and the literary invalid, Manton
Marble
Here is the kernel of the TriJune's
six columns, to be published in the
morning, with TRANSACTIONS of dispatches.
The Florida Returning Board had
opened the returns on Tuesday, the 9th
of November, and was obliged to reach
decision in a few days. From the
beginning Attorney General Cook had
been counted safe by the Democrats.
Doctor Cowhill, formerly Of Delaware
was staunch Union man, and MIR. Mar
BILE had said it was wasting time to call on
him. Secretary of State McLin, for
twenty-five years a resident of Florida,
was once Confederate, but afterward
a Union man and Republican editor,
with a reputation as an upright man,
but the conspirators needed one vote,
and what they tried to do, let the Sc
cret dispatches show.
TALLAHASSEE, Dee. 2.
To Henry Havemeyer, Is West Seventeeth St,
My hope small. Votes about as reported
yesterday. Africa probably McLim satisfied
by Bavaria probably CowgilD, and fear that
Drew understands it. Nothing but cash will
avail. Answer my first of to-day at once.
COYLE.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2.
To John r. Coyle, Tallahassee, Florida;
Telegram received. Unless you nave recelN'
ed will remit again. HAyEMEYER.
1t is probable that the word answer
followed received, and has been lost.
TALLAHASSEE, Dec. 2.
Col. Pelton, Is Gramcrcy Park:
Have just received proposition to hand
over at any hour required Tilden's decision of
the board and IL certificate of the Governor
for $200,00O.
Did Mr.. Marble or Mr., Coyle actually
receive such startling proposition?
We do not believe 1t. McLin has sworn
that such a proposition was made to
him, not by him, and there
has been question of veraclty
On the matter between HIM
and Mr.. Marble, who denies that he had
any talk with McLn on the subject.
In the light of these dispatches, which
is to be believed? Was it not one OF
the current political rumors OF the time
that Mr.. Marble had said in Demo-
cratic gathering, ''McLin is a deserter
from the Confederacy, and deserters
can be bought" But the question OF
grave Importance is not whether MIR.
Marble deceives others or himself, but
what had Gramercy Park to answer?
This:
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.
Manton Marble, Tallahassee. Florida:
Dispatces here. Proposition too high.
No signature.
Gramercy Park had reason, not known
to Mr.. Marble, for considering his DO
livia" decidedly" Brazil, for on the
proceeding day the following had come
from MIR. Woolley:
TALLAHASSEE, Dec. 1.
H. Havemeyer, Is West Seventh street, New
York:
Board Fetch may make necessary expense of
half a hundred thousand dollars. Can you say
will deposit in bank Immediately if agreed?
Whatever significance may be given
to the word Fetch, which it will be
remembered Mr.. Havemeyer failed ona
former occasion to understand, there
can be very little doubt as to the mean
ing of the proposal, and the reply OF
Gramercy Park was;
NEW YORK, Dec. l.
C. w, Woolley, Tallahassee, Florida:
Telegram received. Will deposit ---dol-
lars agreed (yoW cannot, however, draw be-
fore vote. Member received.
We have no evidence that Mr.. Have
meyer ever sent this damaging answer,
or that he ever read either answer or
dispatch to which reply signed III"
waf sent. He received dispatches, and
it is probable that Creamery Park read
and answered them all But it is now
apparent why the Msrble- Coyle 100000
bolivia" was not held good. Probably
Mr.. Woolley learned that bargains
were going OH UculHu HIS DdCh, III HC
telegraphed to Havemeyer:
"Select some one in whom you have more
confidence than you evidently have in WOOL
ley. WoOLLEY
The reply, signed CIV" might proba-
bly, as we'll have been signed W. L. Pei
ton, and needs careful reading. 1t is
this:
Dec. 3.
C. w. Wooley:
All here have perfect confidence in YOU we
cannot prevent needless. No other has power,
and all applications declined Stay, and do
what you telegraphed you could do. Private.
(AnSwer) W.
"All here" at Gramercy Park. What
does that mean? What was it MIR:
Woolley "telegraphed he could do"
which needed not only secrecy OF ciph-
err, but the injunction private" within
that cipher? Mr. Woolley was private,
SO private that the following dispatch,
covering precisely the same proposition,
went to Gramercy Park on the same
dav in two distinct ciphers:
TALLAHASSEE, Dec. 4.
Col. w. Z. Pelton, Is Gramercy Park:
Proposition received either giving vote OF
the Republican of the board or his concurrence
In the court action preventing the electoral
vote from being cast for half hundred of the
best United States documents. MARBLE.
TALLAHASSEE, Dec.
Henry Havemeyer, Is West Seventh street,
New York:
May Woolley give 100000, less half. for Til
len additional board member Lieutenant,
WOOLLEY. J
There is no room to- doubt what eth
err of these propositions mean. Humid
red thousand dollars less half" means
exactly the same as "Half hurdred |
best United States documents" All!
But at last came an answer to Manton
Marble himself. Let ''the clear bright
sunlight of publicity" fall upon it, and
show four millions of American free
men what sort Of man they voted to
make President of these United States
Dec. 4.
Manton Marble. Tallahassee, Florida.
Telegram here. Proposition accepted, if
lone only once. Better consult with WOolley,
md act in concert. You can trust him. Time
