MIR. TILDENIN THE NEXT CAMPAIGN

MIR. TILDEN IN THE NEXT CAMPAIGN.
It is generally admitted that Samuel j.
Tilden can make or unmake the Democratic
party for the next four years, and We are
willing to admit it in a qualified sense. MIR.
Tilden is, without doubt, power in the
politics of the city and State of New York.
He can, to great extent, dictate the nomi-
nations Of the Democratic party, but over
the vote of the party he has no more influ-
ence than any other citizen. The party or.
ganization and name controls the bulk of
the vote the personal popularity of the can
didates influences the votes of a few. By
his position Mr.. Tilden can exercise power
full influence upon the nominating conyen-
tions. He can control caucuses and elect
delegates to favor whom he chooses. This
was shown in the contest that has lust
closed. While a great majority of
the Democrats of the State of
New York favored the nomination of
Gov. Robinson for second term, they would
have been unable to carry out their wishes
but for the aid Of MIR. Tilden. He held the
balance of power, and used his influence in
the right direction. The result has been the
defeat of Robinson, but with that cost has

THERE seems to have been a considerable
amount of illness and death among notable
persons during the past few days. Dennis
Mahoney, of the Dubuque Telegraph, who
gained great notoriety during the war by be-
ing confined in the old Capitol prison at
Washington, died on the 5th inst. Yester-
days GLOBE announced the death of Rev.
Matthew Hale Smith, of Brooklyn, the we'll
known correspondent over the nom de pz,lnae
of "Burleigh." He took an active part on
the Republican side in the recent campaign
in New York, and taking cold while speak
ing, fatal attack of pneumonia ensued.
Richard Schell, of New York, familiarly
known as Dick Schell, and prominent
Democratic politician, will probably be dead
before these lines are printed. Senator
Conkling is dangerously i'll at his residence
in Utica. The campaign and the Sprague
affair have told heavily upon him. The wife
of Senator David Davis is hopelessly ill at
Bloomington, ILL.,, and possibly dead at this
time.

come the far greater compensation of the
overthrow, complete and irrevocable, of
Tammany Hall. We do not believe that Mr.
Tilden had any hope of eleoting Robinson,
but think his object was the destruction of
Iammany as political power. This object,
We have no doubt, was the impelling motive
of his action, but whether. its pursuit was
dictated by sincere desire to promote the
cause of Democracy or to further his own
ambition, we do not undertake to say
great good to the Democratic party has
been accomplished by the overthrow of
Tammany Hall. This We are willing to ad-
NIT, and will give Mr.. Tilden credit for con-
tributing his influence to good cause. But
the question of whether his action was
prompted by selfish or by patriotic motives
will inevitably obtrude itself. If he had no
other than selfish motive in the course he
has pursued, We fear that in the future the
same impulse will control him. He is an
avowed candidate for Presidential nomiua-
ton. Perhaps he will gain the day, but of
this there is no certainty. If he should fail,
what guarantee have we that his influence
will not be cast against his successful COM
petitor? Upon the vote of New York the
result hinges. If that State goes against
the candidate of the Democratic
party all is lost. The preservative qualities
of saltpeter will avail nothing against the
Republicans in the event of Democratic
defeat in the Empire State. While Mr.. Til
denis positive influence upon the voto of
that State may not be great, his negative in
fuence may be all-powerful. He may not
he able to elect, but he may be able to de-
feat. In this his power lies. It is precisely
of the nature of the power exercised by Tam
many Hall at the late election, and If used
will result in the same way.
If MIR. Tilden succeeds in gaining the
nomination he seeks, he will, no doubt, do
his utmost to carry the State Of New York
for the Democratic party. But if he docs
not gain the nomination will he do as much?
Or will he interpose no obstacles to the sup-
cess Of his more fortunate opponent In the
event of his success or failure New York
will be Democratic without doubt, pro-
vided he and his friends stand by the or
garization. Pique may impel him to exer-
else subtle influence to defeat the candi-
date. for the poor satisfaction Of showing
his power. But will he do it? These ques-
tons have an important bearing upon the
coming campaign, and Mr.. Tilden should be
required to answer them categ orioally.

The Sequel Shoes That There Was ~ Hom-
da III the Case.''
The bloody and brutal fracus that occurred
on the Western avenue bridge Saturday night,
a brief mention of which appeared in the
GLOBE yesterday, was the talk of the town YES
terday. It was currently round, too, that there
was woman in the case. From all that could
be learned it seems that Jack Collins, and ono
OF the Swedes, whose names has not vet
one of Sweden's fair daughters named Mary
Peterson. The Swede says he has the first
claim on the girl. but Mary refuses to have
anything to do with him. On the other hand
Mary seems to have decided preference for
young Collins, and Jack rcciprocates with all
the ardor consistent with the nature of his
relation to her. This fondness has
not passed unnoticed by Mr.. swede.
and the green eyed monster has gradually been
gaining the upper hand Of him until it culmi-
mated in the shocking affair of Saturday even
ing 1t is claimed than on Saturday evening
while Jack conducted Mary down town the
Swede and q companion were observed stand
ing on a corner evidently awaiting for Jacks
return. that he might carry out the threat
that often times had been made previous to
this /. e., that unless Jack ceased his atten-
lions to Mary there was probability of a
funeral occurring in the Collins family in the
near future, and Jack would be mourned be-
cause he vas not. Therefore when Jack had
escorted Mary to her residence and
was on the way to his humble
domicile the Swedes waylaid him on
the bridge, and proceeded to carry the threat
into execution. As they were doing the lob
up IN good shape, John Woodbury. CHANGED to
come that way, and at once volunteered his
assistance in behalf of Collins. This SO Ell

after knocking him down, slashed his face in
frightful manner. The worst wound extends
from the back of the neck to the front, and is

bone and still another extends diagonally
across the forehead.
Yesterday two Swedes were arrested on sus
picion of being the parties who did the terrible
deed. One of them was identified as
being one of the parties, but the
other could not be. He is still in
the lookup, and the police are still looking
for man answering to the description
of the party doing the slashing. The Swede
in the lookup acknowledges being one of the
parties, but says he did not do any of the cut
ting; that he was hit twice in the face by
Woodbury., and thought it time for moro
healthy locality. Then his friend boing left
at the mercy of Woodbury. and Collins, only
drew his knife, az he supposes, to defend him

the quarrel, and they only defended them
selves from the first. At the municipal court
