New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1879-07-17
POLITICAL NOTES.

There's pulp in the barrel if there isn't in Tlden.
Reform by canal is new in Fl, rida but old in
New-York.
If Ewing had Tilden whispering in his ear all
night, it was worth $4,000.
The Pennsylvania Greenbackers have merely
held public and solemn funeral.
Everything Wits under this weather except Til
denis wrath at Hendricks Fire can't subdue that.
Hendrlck b. Wrights desertion OF the Pennsylva-
MIA Greenbackers is the surest possible sign of their
speedy dissolution
That Tilden canal project in Florida looks like
scheme to head off the possible services of Moses
Reform agent In 1881.
If the Democrats of Ohio wait for that Tilden
agent with the alleged $4,000 before starting
their campaign, they won't have any campaign at
all this year.
The trouble with ex-Doorkeeper Folks free OBJ
seryations on the Democratic party is that he was
not moved to make them till he lost his Office.
They are true, but nOtbf enormous influence.
That old familiar paragraph about the reduction
in State taxation, which Tilden as Governor of
New-York secured, is OH duty once more 1t had
steady run for the whole campaign of 1876, being
started anew every time its misstatemens were ex-
posed.
The Southern journals have shut up suddenly on
the subject of State Rights, alarmed by the alac-
rity with which the Republicans rose to meet the
ssue Silence comes too late to do any good. They
cannot take back destroy what they have SAID,
and the issue will be the leading one III the Fall
elections
Mr. Tden once complained Of Hendricks that he
did things in a small rather than large way. There
il nothing small about Tilden's way. For instance
IN selecting tail for the ticket in 1880, he says:
GIVE me the head and don't care who has the
tail, provided it isn't Hendricks" SO he makes
Pennsylvania Democrats think he favors Randall,
Ohio Democrats think he favOrs Ewing, and In
diana Democrats Mcdonald for the second place.
Late confessions are always suspicious. The
organ OF the South Carolina bulldozers admits now
that things done in the canvasses of 1876 and
1873 that cannot and must not be done again. 1t
was a supreme necessity" So the Northern reports
of bnlllozng aud tissue-ballOt voting not all
"rascally Radical lies" after all The organ must
nor thnk the North so simple as to believe that its
assertion about things not being done again" viii
have any effect. they Will DO done again, only
more on the SLY.
Frequent complaint is made by the Anti-Tilden
Democrats because TIE TRIBUNE keeps SO close a
watch on the still hunt and promptly reports the
progress made. When the cipher exposures were
investigated and rden had made his statement,
the whole Democratic press declared that be was
entirely indicated. The TRIBUNE at once accepted
thi decree, and declared that 1t made lllden's re-
nomination certain, for II he INDICATED he
must be again. He thinks so too. and his efforts
to his party of l are. of course the yeest
kind OF news, aud as such must be chronicied In
The tribune, which yearns above all things else
to see his vindIeaton complete
1t will be curious spectacle If Ewing mounts
the stump in Ohio and attempts to keep the fnan-
clal question in the background OF course he won't
be able to do it. Before he has been under way ten
minutes he will slip unconsciously into that same
old speech which has done duty so many times in
and out of Congress. 1t is his whole stock in trade,
and he more help talking about 1t than he
can help breathing. In this respect he is much like
a learned and most estimaoe gentleman Of a North
ern city. not many hundred miles away, whose chief
hobby was ventilation. lie was ono of an Official
