basetl upon the conviction that the ''clainl-
anti will be the easiest man to beat. The
| plot is thus outlined A suit has been
pending against Tilden to recover n large
| amount of income tax due from hi to the
Government. 1t is a matter of notoriety
| that during all these months since the suit
was commenced, whenever the case has
been called in court, 'filden's counsel have

District Attorney. whose duty il is TO prose
cute the case and bring the accused to jus
tlce, is Stewart T.. Woodford. prominent
and active Republican. Mr. Woodford
has made no great exertion or dctermin+l

OF the Republican nominee. Tilden seems
to be in bad row of sttfnps.
