Tilden,s Bari Tanned.

The Leavenworth Press, Democratic
paper, in an article on the approaching
canvass in Ohio" in its issue of the 10th,
contains the following revelations, which
it publishes on authority that ''cannot be
gainsaid":
General Ewing visited New York City
very soon after his nomination; a meet
ing was arranged between him and Til
den, at Gramercy Park. They met at II
O'Clock at night, and the meeting lasted till IN
the morning. At this meeting, in the soli-
tary hours of the night, a programme was
mapped out for the campaign in Ohio in
1879, and of the Nation in 1880. For the
campaign la Ohio, 3Ir. IIldeIt agreed to COM
noence BY contributing $50, 900, and to coztri-
batte enough more to make the election Of Eas-
ing certain if8lOneg could do 1t. AS a con-
sideration for Mr.. Tilden's money and
other manipulating powers, General Ew-
ing was to see it, that John G. Thompson
should have nothing to do with the can
vass, nor should he in any manner have
the use of or the direction of the expendi-
ture of any portion of this money, but it
should be expended for Tilden's benefit
as we'll as Ewing's. That though Ewing
might direct how and where a portion OF
the money should be expended. the MON
ey should be handled and disbursed bv
I Ihcien'S chosen agents. That for 1880
Ewing should aid Tilden to obtain the
oelegates from Ohio in the Democratic
National Convention; but if that was
found impossible, then to obtain delega-
ton for Ewing and transfer them to Til
den. But at all hazards to snoso aader Thar
man and Hendricks.
We hare so much con fdenee Ia the testf-
DaOny from aohich lce reach these conclusions
and assert these fdcts, that acre human life at
stake, 1ce could only gnse1er zoe k5lolv them to
be tTUe.
-.
nipulator and disburser of Tilden's money
is TO be Harry Finley of New York. He
is vigilant, active, sOulless 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
nodded 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
cOmpassed 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 cor
rectness of these conclusions, let him wait
till near the election and he aoitL find Finley
n10yfRq round Cincinnati IN particular, and
e0eTy other large city in Ohio IN general, qgtth
the stealth Of a cat but seith the purpose of q
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
