HOW TILDEN WORKS.


His Bargain with Ewing-The Barrel
Opened.
The Leavenworth Press makes q Sc
ries OF statements which will, doubtless,
prove interesting reading to the public
generally, and in Ohio particularly. We
produce the following:
''Gen. Ewing visited New York very
soon after his nomination; meeting
was arranged between he and Tilden,
at Gramercy park. They met at eleven
O'Clock at night and the meeting lasted
till after three in the morning. At this
/ meeting, IN the solitary hours of the
night, programme was mapped out
for the campaign in Ohio in 1879 and of
the nation in 1880. For the campaign
in Ohio, Mr.. Tilden agreed to commence
by contributing $4,000, and to contri-
bute enough more to make the election
of Ewing certain if money could do it.
AS a consideration for Mr.. Tilden's
money and other manipulating powers,
zen. Ewing was to see to 1t, that John
u. thompson should have nothing to do
| With the canvass, nor should he In any
manner have the use of or the direction
OF the expenditure of any portion of
this money, but it should be expended
for Tilden's benefit as well as Ewing's
That though Ewing might direct how
and where a portion of the money should
be expended, the money should be han
died and discussed by Tilden's chosen
agents. That for 1880 Ewing should aid
Tilden to obtain the delegates from Ohio
in the Democratic national convention ::
but If that was found impossible, then
to obtain a delegation for Ewing and
transfer them to Tilden. But at all haZ
| ards to snow under Thurman and Hen
bricks.
1--WE have so much confidence in the
| testimony from which we reach these
conclusions, and assert these facts, that
were human life at stake, we could only
answer we knew them to be true
I'VE know, too, that the principal
manipulation and disburser of Tilden's
money is to be Harry Finley, now of
New York. He is vigilant, active. soul
less and cunning. He bought more votes,
did more bulldog work and disbursed
more of Tilden's money in 1876 than
| any other one man. He came to Kansas
in the summer of 1876 a stranger, but
his cunning and money wrenched this
state from Hendricks, for whom the
Democrats painted, and made this the
| first state in the nation to break from
Hendricks and go to Tilden. He mold
ed Minnesota and Iowa; did his full
share in Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan
and Ohio for Tilden; came to st. Louis
and bought the southern democrats as
sheep are bought at the shambles, and
comprised Tilden's nomination.
"This man and such assistants as he
shall enlist are to go to Ohio and do all
in their power to debauch the state for
Ewing's present and Tilden's ultimate
political interest. If any man in Ohio
disbelieves the truth of these statements,
or the correctness of these conclusions,
let him wait till near the election and he
will find Finley moving round Cincin-
natti in particular, and every other large
city in Ohio in general, with the stealth
OF cat, but with the purpose of a lion.
we admire Ewing, but have horror
OF Tilden, and much prefer Ewing should
be committed to the shades of defeat
rather than Tilden should be exalted to
the head of the democratic party of this
