We perceive that Mr. Tlden is already in
augurating the same tactics that made the
campaign of 1876 disgrace to the Democratic
party. Already newspapers are beginning to
publish carefully worded paragraphs lauding
Tilden and nrging his claims, as they did three
years ago. The writer knows, and fifty other
editors in Texas are well aware, that in 1876
Mr.. Tilden secured newspaper advocacy for
himself by contracting for favorable news
paper notices in De mocratic journals at so
much a line. The contracts were made
through the firm OF Bates and Locke, news
paper advertising agents. Bear it i'll mind,
too, that this was q firm both of whose MEM
bers were republicans-one of them beng the
celebrated Petroleum V. Nasby," whose let
ters from the Confederate X Roads" have
been as disparaging to the Democratic party as
Nast's cartoons in Harper's Weekly. They
were up to the business, though, republicans
as they were, and placed the driblets from
Tilden's barl % money, as Oakes Ames did
the Credit Mobilier fund-where they would
do the most good The facts were notorious in
1876, and they are no less so now. That was a
species of campaigning disgraceful to the
Democratic party. The masses knew nothing
of it. and they were not to blame. Tilden is
going to play the same game again, if he can.
The Telephone does not propose to have part
or parcel in such disreputable scheme. We
believe that the Democrats can elect a
straight-forward honest Democrat, like
Senator Bayard or General Hancock, who
Will not buy his way into public favor at SO
much a line.

Honors to Shakespeare at STRAIT
f0rI
London Week.

Festivals in the country are not often sue
cess, nor are they often so ridiculous a failure
as the celebration in honor of Shakespeare
turned out to be this week. In spite of all adj
vice and warnings, the little clique which is so
anxious to acquire notoriety of some kind or
other began to pay homage" to the "bard'
last Monday, and have been at it ever since
On Thursday the genius OF Shakespeare was
celebrated by an animated chase for ''pig
with a curly tail, and several Shakespearian
scholars then climbed greasy pole, at the top
of which was leg of mutton. There were
also, as the reports say, "three-legged races"
though on whose three legs is not explained.
An incident which, we are assured would
have tickled Shakespeare himself occurred
on Thursday. A German street band was
playing when "a body of stout Britons arrived"
and began tune known as "I'll strike Won
with feather" which "convulsed the mad
wags of modern Stratford." The reporters
OF the daily papers seem to have been very
well chosen for the almost imbecile work they
nave to do, 1t is to be hoped, however, that
no account of these amazing proceedings at
Stratiord will get into the foreign papers
