ever for the reports set afoat, mainlyy from
the Tribune office. that be bad any partici-
patton in or gave any encouragement to any
scheme fer securing, his own election by
any improper means. Mr. TILDEN is an
honest man and gentleman OF ability and
craftsmanship. He; has remained long and
patiently under the ISLANDERS of very bad
Republican tricksters. and very unscrupu-
lous Repu5 lican newspapers. He is now
about to be indicated. Mr., SPRINGER, the
chairman of the Potter subcommittee,
says that though Mr.. TILDEN may not be
summoned before the committee, be will
have an opportunity to be heard. st. IL
y The first item of testimony drawn out by
the committee relating to Mr.. TILDEN was
the statement made by Mr.. SMITH NJ. WEED,
OF Plattsburg, n. Y, published in. a tele-
gram in yesterdays Dispatch. Mr. WEED
confessed that he had some knowledge Of
the occurrences pending, the fuss and con-
testation. about the election and the infa-
NOUS, returning boards, and had ;partici-
pated I'M some telegraphing concerning
amounts OF money that would carry the re-
turning boards for the Democrats. Form
