THE TILDEN BLACKMAIL,
Special to the Chicago Journal.


DETROIT, Mich. October Wv. P.
Healy, of Marquette, who was mixed up
in the disappearance of the New York
Iron Company's books, recently, says Til
den had nothing to do with the abstrac-
ton. but that when Westmore, Tilden's
old partner, was ousted from the concern
he kept the books, and thought this would
&c good opportunity to recover them, and
did SO; further, that the books are in his
possession at IshpemiDg, and that the
United States court here or elsewhere can
have them whenever they are required.
This utterly aunihilates the charges
made against Mr.. Tilden of completely il
the disappearance of the books. 1t was 6
daring scheme on the part of republican
opponents of Mr.. TiIden to injure his pres
idential chances-a clear case of dirt
work for political effect.
