MR.. TILDEN,s DENIAL.

Will Mr.. Tilden's card as to the cipher
dispatches alleged to have been received by
him from Florida and South Carolina, and
answered at his dictation, silence the calum-
MES of his enemies9 Probably not; for
they have determined to convict him of
wrong-doing whether there is any evidence
against him or not.
Language could not be more explicit or
comprehensive than that which Mr.. Tilden
employs to disavow any knowledge of the
cipher kilograms so widely published Of late,
or any knowledge of negotiations of any de-
scription with the returning officers of the
States named, or any other State, for the
purpose of influencing them as to the man
ner in which their report to Congresssor the
electoral college should be made. Let the
disinterested reader peruse this sentence and
tell, if he can, in what respect Mr.. Tilden's
denial lacks positiveness or clearness-
what respect it could be more sweeping in
Reputation of the accusations laid at his
door:
will add that no offer to give the certificates
of any returning board, or State canvasser of
any State, to the Democratic electors in c0nsid-
Grafton of any promises of Office, or money, or
property; no negotiation of that nature in be-
half of any member Of such board, or with any
such member;no attempt to influence the ac-
ton of any such member, or to influence the
action of any elector of President and Vice
President by such motives, was ever enter
tanned, considered or tolerated by me, or by
any body within my influence by my consent,
or with my knowledge or acquiescence.
Mr.. Tiden has borne calumny in silence
for many months. Conscious Of the, recti-
tude of his own conduct he has waited for
history to silence his accusers and prove his
innocence. His forbearance has been such
as few men would have shown: his self-con-
tainment has approached the marvellous.
But patiently as he has borne these ISLANDERS
he has seen that the time has arrived when
even the disavowalss of his friends would not
avail in his vindication, and he has spoken
without reserve. ALI men who claim that
they themselves are worthy of belief will
feel bound to acquit him of the
charges of his enemies, but those who have
no character for veracity themselves will affect
to disbelieye his assertions. No fonler orr more

DIR. A. A. Ames:
DEAR SIR: at meeting of the Twenty sixth
Democratic legislative committee to-day you
were nominated for the State Senate. This
same nomination was unanimously rendered
you by the district convention and you then
declined it on the ground that you could not
spare the time and means necessary to make a
canvass satisfactory to your friends. The
Democracy have honored you in the past-and
they are proud of your record as public Off
cer-and in return they ask you in this emer-
gency to come to the front and, if needs be,
get slaughtered with the balance of us.
Yours truly,

WAsHBuRN's advocates are now perambu-

giving for his sins. No man is working for
Washburn without pay. This is essentially
a money campaign on the part of Washburn.

HOW THEY GREAT THE FARMER!

HOW THEY GREAT THE FARMERS
The Minneapolis Mlllers' association
through Bill Kings and Dave Blakely'f
newspapers and Bill Wasnburn's speeches
claim that they pay for wheat almost at
much as is paid in Milwaukee and Chicago
for the same grades. This claim is absurd
upon it's face, although the figures given ap.
parently warrant their pretense. For in.
stance, the prices of wheat on Wednesday
were: In Milwaukee-No. Q, 70 cents
No. 3, 641l5 cents; No. 4, 56h cents. In
Minneapolis 2, Is cents; No. 5, SO
cents; No. 4, 48 cents. The difference be-
tween the two markets shown by these fig
ures is not very great, and on their face the
figures sustain the claim of the Washburni.
ans that fair price is paid for wheat. But
the colored gentleman in the fence comes in
just here: When a farmer offers load OF
No. 2 wheat it is graded by the Minneapolis
ring as No. 8, and instead of getting Is
cents, the market price of No. 2 wheat, he
receives but SO cents, the price of No. 8
The same wheat, if taken to Milwaukee, will
grade No. 2 and bring 70 cents bushel II
will be seen that the Minneapolis purchase,
has clean margin of fifteen cents bushe]
above the Milwaukee market. Not infre-
quently, however, No. Q wheat is still further
reduced in grade by the wheat Shylocks
and difference of thirty eight cents bush
ell created. The proofs of such reductions
in grade are overwhelming, and convict the
Washburn tribe of wheat sharks of the
most barefaced swindling of the farmers.
Here is another case that smells strongly
of robbery. At Melrose, in. Stearns county
about eighty miles from Minneapolis, No. 4
wheat brings but % cents bushel. This il
twenty cents below the. market quotation al
the latter place. The cost of transportation
surely does not amount to twenty cents &
bushel, or sixty dollars car. Then, all the
No. wheat purchased at Melrose is pro.
nounced by good judges to be a fair quality
of No. wheat, and if properly graded would
sell, at Minneapolis prices, for So cents q
bushel. This gives the purchasers thirty.
five cents bushel, out of which they will
have to pay perhaps five cents for transpor-
tation and handling. This is pretty round
profit, it must be confessed, for these hon
orable millers to pocket!
1t is not the market price of this, that OF
the other grade of wheat of which the farm.
ers complain. That is regulated by the Law
of supply and demand. But they do com
plain, and with very good reason, of the dis
honest practices of the hired tools of the
Washburn gang of wheat Shylocks in falsi-
flying grades, and thus deliberately robbine
them of from twenty to a hundred and fifty
per cent. of the product Of their labor. The
combination, conceived IN sin and brought
forth in iniquity, is sapping the life blood
of the State. It was organized for rob.
berry by gang of constituencies haves, the
chief of whom is now seeking to represent
his victims in the Congress of the United
States. Such brazen effrontery is without
parallel in American politics. It must ane
it shall be rebuked.

THE EASTERN RAILROAD.

More About the 4,odrd and Who Profits
Bu It-A Brief Chapter of Histoyy-Why
the Effort Is to Squelct a Rival Corpora
ton.
In the GLOBE of yesterday morning a brief
statement of the facts in relation to the East
ern railroad award was given, together with
some conclusions drawn logically therefrom
In connection Herewith the following will be
of interest:
The commissioners who have been in session
for the last three weeks have finally made their
award amounting as was stated
IN THE AGGREGATE
to about 100000.
About $4,000 of this amount is for damage
to the Morrison mill site and mill, the balance
is mostly for the privilege of building rail
road along the margin of the river and in it's
bed, a very expensive piece of road to build
and over the only ground which road could be
constructed to ACCOMMODATE the mills situated
between the canal and the river.
The award is based largely upon the evidence
OF the Minneapolis Mill company, the members
of which
all the river bed between the Suspension bridge
and Tenth avenue bridge.
The true inwardness of the opposition to the
construction of the road is that it will afford
other roads besides the
MINNEAPOLIS ST. LOUIS
q track to the mills; no other rad now can
seta car to any mill in the city without the
permission of the above named road. The con-
sequence is that it is quite inconvenient for
other roads to get their cars set to the mills
which have tracks, either to load or unload
Now, when it is taken into consideration that
the parties who control the M. & st. l.. R. r.
are also the
LARGEST OWNERS OF MILLS,
it does not take large stretch of imagination
t. see that if they can control the railroads
that lead to the mills and can prevent any
tracks being built to other than their mills
