Feb. IL, 1879.
There is no limit to the crooety Nv
the abGshen managers, nun watever.
Not content with perventin that gileis
reformer Saml. J. Tilden from hevin
the Presidency, they are doin ther
level best to fasten the attempt onto
him and to destroy his chances for an
other effort in 1880.
Wat do these men meen? Don't they
know that Saml. J. is quiet, giIelis old
man, who wuz brought out for the
Presidency solely becoz Nv his many
virchoos, and that it wuz sorely agin his
will that he wuz nominated at all?
Don't they know that doorin that long
and hotly-contested campane he lay ez
quiet ez mouse at his neat but not
gaudy home in Gramercy Park, Moo
York, payin no attenshun watever to
wat WIZ gofn on, but perfeckly content
with watever verdick the people shood
bring in? Don't they know that he
knows nothin watever of poitikle man.
agement, but that his interests wuz put
into the hands Nv his friends, who did
jist watever they pleased, and that he
never knowd nothin watever about it,
till the votes wuz countid out, and that
he never even so much ez looked at a
noosepaper doorin the progress Nv the
battle?
The people don't understand Saml.
j. Tilden, and they do him injoory.
He is no manager, and no politishen.
He is too warm blooded, too impulsive,
and too innosent for the devious ways
NV modern pollytix. But this isn't gen
orally knowd. His innosence IL the
COZ Nv all his trubbles. Heven okke-
pied prominent posishuns, wich hev
come to him entirely unsolissitid, and
becoz Nv his strikt integrity, he IL sur
rounded by gang Nv unscroopulus
men, who yoose him fur their own pur-
poses. He hez a nefew, man named
Pelton, who trades onto his uncle's we'll
known caracter, and who gifts him into
all sorts Nv trubbles. It was Pelton
wich did all the ralerode wreckin that
was charged to Tilden's account, and it
wuz Pelton who wuz the cheef spirit Nv
the Tweed ring, and who made all the
money out Nv it. It wuzn't Tilden at
all, and nobody ever sposed it wuz who
knowd the good old man.
In this matter he il in the same fix.
When Looisianny, Floridy and Oregon
wuz in doubt, the gilelis Tilden sed to
hisself, 1t is well. Eff them States
want to vote for Hayes all rite. I am
merely the servant Wv the people, and
wat IL their will I must be satisfied
with. 1t is all one to me. [ may not
be President, but I hev an approvin
Conscience" and he saddled his boss and
rode out in Central Park, smiling Ike
the innosent man he is.
But this wicked Pelton and the still
wickeder Marble, mizzable men that
they are to thus trade on the innosence
Nv thisunsofstikatid cid man, they went
to Florida and Oregon, and louisiana
and South Carolina, and they offered
large sums Nv money to buy the Elec-
trail votes Nv them States. They never
let the gileliss Tilden know nuthin about
it, for they knowd that ef it wuz ever
breathed to him he would stop it at once
and probably cut en- all out Ev his will
They knowd the integrity Nv the ole
gentleman so we'll that they we're mighty
keerful to keep all knowledge wv it from
him, +"
They hey done all that they kin in thu
matter 70 set Mr.. Tilden right, and TIN
pubic ought to be satisfied with it. Th
oiznis wuz all done in his parlor, ba
without his knowledge. While the
wuz arrangin the detales he was bi~6s
readin his noospaper and attend ~
his other biznis; when the buyir, !, ,s,1 /
the Florida Board wuz discussed at h,
.,a .sfas1-t table he he wuzs e0gaged !;

hsard a word NV it. They didn't ever
dsafe to ask the gilelis old man for none,
to carry out their nefarious skeem, whicl
would hev shocked him he'd he knowt
NV it. They simply askt him for checl
for 100000, and the innosent old maj
gave it to 'em without dreamin Nv thu
wickid purpus they wuz to yoose it for
They telegraphed backerd ard forerd
for months, but the innosent Tilder
never knowd nothin about it, tho h,
paid the bills with money wich h,
sposed wuz goin for charity and SIGH.
That this is troo, nobody hez any
right to question. Mr.. Tilden sez it i,
troo, and so does Pelton and Marble
They both testify that the old mar
DIDN'T know nothin about the buyin u1
the Electoral votes, and that if he he6
knowd it he wood hev stopped it.
make no doubt that John Morrisag, wu2
he alive, wood testify to the same thing
and swear to it, ON faro 1ay-ottt, WITCH
is why I ain sorry that eminent states
man and ga1ablar Is ,dead. His testi
mony wood be valHable now t6 inspire
confidence in wat Ti1dsn swears too; !,
Ny testimony in this matter ought to
hev weight, for I hev no reason to like
Mr.. Tilden. I kin never forget that ii
the st. Louis Convenshun witch nom
mated him I got only $4OO for my vote
