TILDEN AND DORsHEIMER.

TMDEN has been Governor and DORIS
HEIMER is now Lieutenant Governor of
the State of New York. TILDEN was DORIS
HEIMER's friend, and helped him to be
Lieutenant Governor, while at the same
time DoRsHEIMER was TILDENs friend,
and did all in his power to elevate that in
trinsic fraud to the Presidency in 1876.
DoRsHEIMER was successful in his canvass,
and TILDEN failed in spite of his bar'l of
money and cipher-dispatch invention.
Pending the Democratic nomination for the
Presidency, no man lent more faithful and
stalwart aid to the TILDEN boom than Mr.
DoRsHEIMER Indeed, by almost super
human effort he held the 81. Louis Conven-
tion as in the hollow of his hand and con-
troled its result 1t was DoRsHEDIER
who made TILDEN the candidate but he
did not know him then as well rs he does
now; otherwise, probably he would not
have been nominated.
Now DoRsHEIMER is no longer hench-
man of the great American Internal Revenue
Repudiator having absolved himself from
all such allegiance. Indeed, tho alienation
has widened until Mr,DORsHEIMERn no longer
conceals his contempt for his late chief.
We gather from the Albany Ecening Journal
some of the causes which have led to the
dissolving of friendly relations between the
two. DoRsHEIMER asserts that Mr.. TILDEN
neglects the plainest debts Of honor, and
while this is not the primary cause Of the
rupture between them, it has led to the dis
closure of it. The journal has it that Mr..
DoRsHEIMER, as Mr.. TMDEN's representa-
tive, had incurred large expenses at st.
Iouis. He had maintained headquarters
and had entertained yisitors-all to promote
Mr.. Tu.DEN's nomination. But the cold
selfish schemer of Gramercy Park never al
luded TO the subject and never offered any
reimbursement This was in keeping with
his conduct in other cases. Mr., HEWITT
WAS chairman of the National Committee
during that campaign, and personally adj
vanced many thousands, which it was un-
derstood Mr.. TILDEN was to make good
And it is the common story that this part
of the understanding was not fulfilled, and
that il was one cause of the coolness which
grew up between them.
Unworthy and dishonorable rs was Mr.
TILDEN's part in this minor matter it is
not TO be supposed that Mr. DoRsHEIMER's
alienation was due TO any such reason. lie
had deeper personal grounds of complaint
But beyond all personal reasons, he came To

WAsHINTON, august 10, lSIS
To The Editor Of the National Republican!
SIR: There arc nerves and nerves. One
happily built man will sleep undisturbed
through tho fzz and bang of the 4th Of July
eve, while his nelghbor with abuormally acute
senses, will press sleepless couch and arise
cursing the almond.eyed celestial that made
such pandemonium possible. A former resi-
dent of this city, diplomatist, lawyer and
statesmen though ho was, yielded up his nights
to lamentation and profanity, all because Of a
dog that would bay the moon until the iron
hand of the law throttled the bowling boast.
The bells Of ST. Marks, in Philadelphia, rung
with so much fervor and frequency by the
zealots that worship in that ritualstlc sanctu-
ary became serious annoyance 10 the sick,
the old and the acutely neryed. The law was
invoked and the murderous bells were limited
Ia their ringing TO certain reasonable hours.
1t is thus established that nervous people
have some rights tho phlegmatic arc bound to
respect Now, Mr., REPUBLICAN, doubtless mu-
sic is a heavenly maid" but have been so
harried of late by said maid that I'm almost
sorry she didn't die young ! live near shrine

Another Boom for Sherman.

To The Editor of the National Republican:
SIR Should your editorial judgment" ap-
prove of this Communication 1 shall be under
renewed obligations to you for its publication.
met my friend S-y on the street last night
and the following conversation occurred
Friend s., how do you boys of the press feel
toward Sherman for President?
S.-Far from unfriendly; on the contrary, as
a very possible candidate.
L. W.-Doyou know that there is something
really wonderful to me in what you say?
S.--I do not see why there Is. He is con-
sidered so and as growing stronger.
l.. W.-Do you remember tho feeling against
him two years agop
S.-Do |! Why, don't you recollect that /
came to you and advised your seeing Sherman
to caution him against the threats that were
being made. 1t is certain to my mind that he
would have been the first to be attacked If
trouble had commenced, and the same feeling
existed all over the country, from tho fact that
his political opponents had charged the hard
times to his resumption acts.
l.. W.-The fact that you came to me, as you
say, is exactly what | do remember, and to-day
you think him very possible Presidential
candidate, and yet see nothing wonderful In
the change. l tell you, friend S., magnetism,
personal attraction or whatever else you may
call it, while it carries great strength, 1t does
before the American people, and Sherman has
all three to Il remarkable degree, and the more
the people are called upon to consider the
Presidential question the more will they un-
derstand how much they owe to him and how
badly they treated him, Within six months
from the date Of resumption-for attempting
which, less than two years ago they were about
to mob him--he is acknowledged by all to bo q
very possible candidate a year more and the
reaction is certain to make him not only oui
candidate, but our President.
81 must say that even that would be les
than has already occurred. | had not thought
of the contrast, but it certainly is as you say
wonderful, and he would be the best President
we almost ever had,
l.. W.-You would not find the GordOns an(
Lamars as visitors to the White House, from
the very fact that is now used against him
Ho is cold but he is just. lie works with hi
head, and not from heart He is just--no
gushing" L. w.

ONE of the old-time employees of the
House-about the only one who "holds
over" under Democratic rule-fnds him
self somewhat embarrassed as regards the
matter of political contributions. He has
been solicited as Republican to contribute
to the campaign funds of that party and
assessed as Democrat for similar amount
as his share of the same kind of expenses of
that party. This is q reversal of the old
proposition about the ass between two bun
dies OF hay, for it appears that both bundles
are liable to be taken away from him and
still the ass stands up to the rack, eagerly
swallowing what little there is left.

share the general feeling of contempt for
the character and the methods of Mr.. TIL
DEN. There is no reserve or concealment in
the expression of his disgust. He points
out the imbecility of Mr.. TILDEN's conduct
and declares that he would be weaker
candidate now than he was in 1875 He
paints the portrait of the moping old man
of Gramercy Park with the fidelity of one
who knows him well, and hissketch will be
recognized rs the reality.
The Journal adds that Zone of the most
Striking proofs ofthe essential littleness of
"Mr. TILDEN is the fact that he has and
"will have no strong and able men about
"him. He has never possessed the COM
"pany of many of that class, and such as
" he has had he has driven Off No men Of
" real self-respect can live in his atmos-
"phere. He allows no manhood or inde-
pendence near him. He tolerates none
"but those small, plastic men who have no
standing of their own and who will do
I" his bidding without question. Such
"men as CHURCH, WEST and PURCELL
"have been excluded from his counsels.
Governor SEYMOUR and Senator HERMAN
"were well-disposed, though not fully trust
ed, but he has estranged them. DORIS
HEIMER was almost the only man of real
personal force who was closely identified
with him, and he too has been repelled.
This jealousy and exclusion of real men
illustrates TILDEN's quality. He is crafty
"and cunning; but the mind which thus
"shows itself is of a small pattern.
Nowhere else in the country has Mr..
TnDEN evidenced the truth of the remark
that "he will have no strong and able men
about him" moro markedly than in his
selection of henchmen at the National Cap
ital. His advocates and defenders here are
of the most adventurous aud lower order Of
tramp" politicians, who gather here in
search of public plunder. "Like master
like man" is clearly illustrated here, and
his friends are so few that they become
distinguished in their devotion, and at once
become objects of attention and contempt
The weak, vain, foolish man thinks he
needs an organ at the National Capital, and
in securing that end has shown the eter-
" nal fitness of things" by securing one
peculiarly adapted to his methods and poll
cies of managing things. Fraud, stealth
low cunning aud filth are congenial ele-
ments for Tildenism in 1880, and he has
secured all these by the iuterposition of his
ill-gotten gains,

DID it ever occur to the admirers of Sec
retary SHERSfAN-and we are among them
that it is scarcely probable that the Re-
publican party will give the Presidency for
two consecutive terms to two statesmen
of the State of Ohio? There are pre-
cedents for reelection of a President for
a second consecutive term, but none, since
Virginia ceased to be the mother of Presi-
dents, for honoring a second statesman from
the same State until some other of the sis
ters of the family had been recognized. Let
the sweetmeats be passed around.
