Though this is the OFT year in poll
tics, New York politicians in thsi
efforts to fix up things for Tilden il
1880, there is sufficient to interes
the people. Every move upon the po-
litical chess board is watched will
Jealousy by Presidential aspirants il
other States In all these movements
the haud of Tilden is plainly describ-
able. The great reformer it is said nov
mourus daily and hourly over the
corruption OF American politics. His
one great fear seems to bs that New
York will not be sufficiently reformed
under the present police commissioners
to give $1,000 or 10000 Democratic
majority, and so far IS he is concerned
he is determined that the police Board
shall be constituted that there will be
no possible mistake. The cipner tsle-
grams we're no more clearly trscabls to
him than are the Vaccinations which
his friends are making use Of to carry
New York City by tremendous sweep.
ing majority this fall for Governor
Robinson, Tildsn's hsnchmaa, and
thereby pave the way for = greater
Tilden victory next year. In Or
der to effect this he has COM
plet-ly remodeled politically the
Board Of Police Commissioners, which
has the appointment Of the p lice Of
the city, and every policeman being 4
Tild.n man, tremendous victory may
bs expected for the great rsformsr. In
order to accelerate the coming Of this
happy period ths agents Of Tilden have
effected the removal of General Smith
from the Board and have had Mr.. Nor
rison the private secretary Of Mayor
Cooper, appointed to fill the vacancy
The ona great merit Of Mr.. Morrison
was that in 1875 he went to the St.
Louis National Convention as Tam
many representative, but afterwards
sold out to the interests of Tildeu. The
Board is now completely reformed after
the grtat reformer's own heart and Of
course he will proceed at once to make
= model body Of virtuous police w.ose
duty it will be to work up enthusiasm
for Samuel J. Tildsn, and to take very
geod care that nobody shall be interfer
cd with who votes early and often, pro
vided they vnte the right way. Tilden
made up his mind long ago to hold New
York city in his clutches when election
time came; and now hs i, nearly ready
for next year, when he proposes to roll
up one Of the good old fashioned major
tiles that he AMI Tweed used to get
when hey worked together tor virtue
and reform.
In this last movement the TiIdsn
agents klso gain control Of the ap-
pointment of election inspe t,rs. 1t
is not the mere control of tn. police
board that Tilden cares 50 much about
IS it is for the men who have cha 20 of
the ballot boxes and Who know how to
fix up big lnajortes at elections. Til
den's friends made the effort at the
late extra session of Cong ess to have
the Federal election supervisors remov-
cd out Of the way, but falling iu this
and getting the right kind of ins pee
tors appointed, the city of New York
can be depended upon to outv"te he
