SENATOR HOAR,S LETTER.

Senator George F. Hoar has written let
ter on the Presidency and had it published
in one of the Boston papers. Senator Hoar
it should be known-though it is doubtful
if it is to very considerable number of
peoples now representing the old Bay
State in the upper house of Congress, and
achieved brief notoriety by short service
as attorney general in Grants cabinet. But
though he is indebted to Grant for nearly all
the distinction he enjoys he doesn't seem to
tackle kindly to him at this time. What the
reason is We cannot imagine, but the fact re-
mains That Mr.. Hoar conveys the impression
and very decided one too-that he would
much rather see some one else in the Presi-
Dental chair than Grant. He takes the very
sensible ground that it is inexpedient to
place label upon the delegates who 60 to
Chicago marked with the name of the candi-
date they are expected to vote for, but that
they should go unpledged to any one and
free to express their preferences without
danger of offending any one.
We say this is a very sensible view. 1t
is-for Democrats, but the Republican party
has already gone SO far in the opposite di-
rection that it cannot change its course with
out placing the delegates yet to be selected in
very embarrassing position. We co not
believe, therefore, that the Massachusetts
Republicans, for whose advice the letter was
written, will pay much heed to it, but will
follow out the plan already inaugurated of
placing labels around the collars of their
delegates and treating them as a master does
his dogs.
Mr.. Hoar thinks Gen. Grant will lose
many Republican votes if nominated. Prob
ably he is right, but this will not deter the
party.from placing him in nomination. The
party is under absolute control of the
machine, and will carry out its bidding even
with the certainty of defeat stazAng it in the

Mr.. TILDEN,s HEALTH.

The reports of the giving way of MIR.
Tilden's physical system have again been
revived, and if any reliance can be placed
upon the statements, he is in worse condi
ton than has been supposed, and will be pre-
cluded by his infrmities from taking any
part in the pending campaign, either as q
candidate or as a director of public senti
ment. The Washington correspondent of
the New York Star asseverates most positive
ly that he is physically incapacitated from
discharging the duties of the Office of Presi-
dent, if elected to it, on account of paralysis,
and the New York correspondent of Boston
paper is as positive that he is palsied in both
arms, and could not survive the excitements
of political campaign. The Star CORES
pondent challenges any of Mr.. Tilden's in
Inmates to deny his statements, and offers to
pay to either Edward Cooper, Abram s.
Hewitt aniel Manning, Lester B. Faulkner,
Speaker Randall, Smith Weed, or any other
person who occasionally sees Mr.. Tilden, the
sum of five Thousand dollars if they will
disprove under oath the assertions he has
made.
We do not undertake to say how much
truth there is in these reports. Everybody
in the country knows that Mr.. Tilden was
never robust. He has suffered of late from
several strokes of paralysis, but they have
not been very severe. They have been pre-
monitory rather than prostrating, but every
physician knows that such attacks have the
effect of weakening even the strongest con-
stitutions, if not to render death imminent
under circumstances of undue excitement.
1t is probable, however, that the reports of
his infrmities have been considerably exag
gerated. We all know what an indomitable
will he possesses, and how men who are practi-
cally inval1ds frequently accomplish seeming
ly impossible tasks through force of will.
But if it is shown that Mr.. Tilden's con-
stitution is as seriously shat
tered as reported, it would be
hazardous undertaking for the Democratic
party to undertake the campaign with him
as standard bearer. We want man of
sound mind and vigorous physical powers to
direct the forces in the coming campaign.
He must be able to awaken enthusiasm
among the masses by the magnetism of his
presence, the force of his character and the
purity of his record. We cannot afford to
run crippled horse in such race as thai
about to commence. There are plenty of
sound ones to be had, and the party should
see to it that such an one is placed in the
| field,

this proves Mr.. Donnelly saw the anonymous
letter before it was sent. The facts are, &C.
cording to Springer's own statements, that
Donnelly saw the anonymous letter before
he (Sprlnger) did, it having been shown to
him by Mrs. Springer in the presence of
Julian, DonneIly's attorney. The letter
Springer alluded to as not having been seen
by Donnelly after it was sent was the one
signed by Finley. The only objection that
csn be offered to having seen the letter that
was signed-previous to its being sent-is
the disreputable character of the author.
The fact of seeing that letter does not show
any connection with the anonymous letter
whatever.

The letter of Mr.. Henry II. Finley to Mr..

Gates that Mr.. Finley is dark and designing
person who goes about with his fingers on his
lips, if not upon his nose, and with one eyelid
perpetually dropped as if in adjuration of Sc
crecy. 1t appears dimly through his letter,
however, that he is the agent, or as they say
in Washington, that he claims to be the
agent of some person still darker and
still more designing than himself. Dem
ocrats would like to know who are
Mr.. Finley's friends in New York." and how
many there are of them. Who are "those who
are perhaps personally most to be affected" by
Mr.. Springer's decision, and with whom Mr..
Finley still holds ''the closest and most conf
Dental relations?" Why does not Mr.. Finley
speak out, or if, from his close and confiden-
tial relations with somebody else, Finley has
lost the habit of speaking out, why does not a
committee of the House crafty the curiosity
of the Democrats of the country by making
Finley speak out?

DoDGTNG THE ISSUE.

A little while ago the Republicans we're
abusing the Democratic party for their
alleged attempt to ''steal State" Since
the vote of the committee in favor of declar-
ing Mashburn's seat vacant there has been
a change of front The bowls about the
Outrage" have been less pronounced, and
personal abuse of Donnelly has been the
stock in trade. This proves nottingham
swers nothing. The charge is that MIR.
Washburn bought his nomination and cleo
ton to Congress with hard cash. Everybody
In this District knows this to be tie fact. The
Republicans almost universally admit that
he bought votes, but they argue that he did
not buy his entire three thousand majority.
That is the best his own friends can say in
his behalf.
The GLOBE has endeavored to be sufficient
ly distinct in the matter. 1t accuses Mr.,
Washburn of corruptlyi using money to Sc
cure both his nomination and election, and
if an opportunity can be afforded for COM
polling the attendance of witnesses the charge
can be substantiated to Mr.. Washburn's
hearts content. 1t has already been proven by
the testimony now before the COMMITTEE on
elections in Washington, but the proof
can be made ov erwhelming
