1T LOOKS TILDENISH

Ever since the election in November there
has been growing sentiment in favor of
making Tilden the Democratic candidate
for the Presidency in 1880. This sentiment
has been greatly increased since Tilden's
testimony relative to the cipher kilograms
before the Potter committee. Following the
inauguration of the man who was not elect
ed President, a reaction set in against MIR.
Tilden. The Democrats felt that they had
elected their President and been swindled in
securing the prize, and no small amount of
blame was attached to Tilden. It was claim
ed that he should have come out
boldly and advised his friends
against the electoral IS to commission
and that his silence and his apparent lack OF
resolution had lost the victory. Strangely
enough, leading Democrats who had publicly
advocated and endorsed the appointing of
the commission were commended. while
Tilden, who had given no public utterance.
but had privately advised against the scheme
was censured for having led his party into
the fatal trap. The heated controversy be-
tween Watterson and Hewitt did a good deal
towards setting Tilden right on the record
and since then there has been less heard nj
censure in that matter.
There are two reasons which have doubt.
less turned the Democratic tide, or yer1
considerable portion of it, in Mr.. Tilden,s
favor. The first and chief one is the inces.

the Republicans ever since he was robbed Of
the Presidency. This war may be partially

accounted for on the ground that men are
apt to hate those they have wronged and
seek to, apparently, justify their wrong, by
continual abuse, and also on the ground of
fear that Tilden may be the Democratic
standard bearer-hence the Importance of
killing him off. There is no doubt this in
cessant and unprecedented arfare has
reacted in Elden's favor, and many who
were utterly opposed to his making Sec
ond campaign have come to regard him as
the man of ell others, at whose hands the
Republicans fear defeat.
change in the tide was the result of the New
York election last November. Tilden ap-
pears to have maintained neutral ground
and allowed the John Kelly Tammany crowd
to have their own way. AS the result they
went to an overwhelming defeat, and it is
now freely admitted that no faction of the
Democratic party can carry the State Of New
York which does not have Tilden's cordial
and active support. To secure that, it is
argued that Tilden should be the nominee.
The Importance of the State of New York
as factor for success does not need any
lengthy elaboration.
Add to these considerations the fact that
there would be decided retributive Justice in
placing in the Presidential chair the man
who was robbed of that great office, and the
old ticket of ''Tilden and Hendricks be.
comes formidable. Mr.. Tilden has shown {
remarkable degree Of forbearance in main
tanning silence against the continued on
slaughts of enemies both in the Republican
and Democratic parties, but his silence is
proving golden. He might have provoked
strife, but he has not, and while it is ye
early to forecast the next Presidential cam
paign, Mr.. Tilden appears to have more
| chance for the nomination in 1880 than he
did for the nomination sixty days before th'
| ST. Louis convention in 1876.

TIE report of the majority of the COM
mittee of the House, composing the So
called Potter committee, was presented Sat-
urday. It is strictly judicial document,
discarding all evidence that was not fully
corroborated. The testimony of Mrs.
jerks, James Anderson and others is COM
pletely discarded, and the evidence of per-
sons of unquestioned repute is alone consid-
cred. The conclusions reached are simply
what have long been known, that the vote of
Florida was legally cast for Mr.. Tilden. AS
to Louisiana there is abundance of evidence
to show that the charges of intimidation
were not sustained, but that, on the con
trary, there was abundant proof that returns
had been purchased by the Republican party.
The sum and substance of the report is that
Tilden and not Hayes was elected to the Pres
idential Office.

WE can hardly see the philosophy of the
argument of the Chicago Tribune, which
asserts as reason that the arrears of pen
sions should not be paid that there are now
on the pension roles from ten to thirty per
cent. of fraudulent pensioners. Suppose
there were thirty-five per cent. of fraudulent
pensioners on the roll, is that any reason
why persons who are entitled to the benefits
of the pension laws should be deprived of
these benefits The proper thing to do
would be to cut off the fraudulent pension
ers, and see that those legally and morally
entitled to the benefits of the act received
their just dues.

wholesome dread of the offe nded dignity
of the Admirable CREIGHTON of the Senate,
and conscious that his hair had been done up

No matter how truly good Hayes may be,
he is not, evidently, superior to feeling the
resentments common to the rest of man
kind. A few weeks ago he appointed a
friend of Senator Hamlin as postmaster at
Bangor, but when Hamlin voted with Conk-
ling in favor of rejecting the New York ap-
pointments Mr.. Hayes revoked his former
appointment, and substituted an unknown
man for the Bangor place. At this the ven
cradle Senator from the Pine Tree State is
exceedingly wroth, and swears vengeance on
the occupant of the White House. When
the fight breaks out in earnest there will be
somebody to pay and no pitch hot.

Into Trouble.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, March at is likely that Bill
Kings paper will have libel on its hands.
The New York Sun, which copied from that
paper q Chicago correspondents statement
concerning Miss Isabella Porter, of Chicago,
and an Italian named Monochesi, who was
characterized as an adventurer with two wives
and several children, yesterday printed state
ment by Nicola Monochesi, the gentlemen re-
feared to. He has brought a libel suit against
Mrs. Ellen M. Cately, of New York, an aunt of
his deceased wife, for 500, 600 damages, claim
ing his engagement to Miss Porter was broken
on because OF certain accusations made by Mrs.
Oately in her letter to the young lady's mother.
He has also brought a. libel suit in the same
amount against the Cincinnati Enquirer for
publishing an article from its Chicago cor
respondent denouncing him in every way.
Monochesis' statement is well authenticated BY
responsible parties, and shows him to have
been victim to the hatred of a relative. He
never had but one wife, and she is dead. It
may be remembered that this affair created
considerable comment in Chicago at the time,
as the wedding was all arranged presents
received, and swell time expected, when
suddenly the whole thing was declared off, and
the statement given out that the expectant
bridegroom was an adventurer and swindler of
the first water. Miss Porter is the daughter of
Hubbard Porter, of Chicago, and was married
few days ago to Mr.. Eames, son of the banker
of that name. 80

part are imported as slaves; they do not
come as immigrants. The good sense Of the
country would agree in prohibiting the one
while it could offer no reasonable objection
to the other.
These are the salient features of the legis-
lation Of the present Congress. AS to the
good or evils of the results reached, every
citizen must judge. There is room for di-
vergence OF opinion, but however man may
be biased, we have no doubt be will conclude
that the Democrats in both Houses have

everything seems to be thrown out of Joint in
the archbishop's affairs. This style of banking
has been going on for half century. 1t is
said that Father Edward Purcell, who was the
active banker for the archbishop has not left

amount of indebtedness it is feared will be
left somewhat to conjecture, and public imagi-
nation Is increasing every day till it now runs

him of carelessness as well as indiscretion in
undertaking business which required financial
skill and training. It is also whispered by
these same friends that full expose of facts

This is an insinuation on their part that the
