Haunting their Guilty Dreams.

Political events are bringing Mr.
Tilden agqin to the front. He may
DO made Governor of New York
and then, naturally enough, he may
again be called to the Presidency.
1t is amusing to hear what his enc
mics say Of him. Brady, the Star Route
thief, is trying to obtain sympathy
with his party friends by attributing
his downfall to the management of
Mr.. Tilden, whom he opposed in the
counting in of Hayes. So in regard
to tho Garfield onkling war-Tilden
is said to be at the bottom of it. Hear
the Hartford Comm Times:
ut is Tilden again; he is the evil
genius WAC battle, and VI b:aids the
Republicans on every turn. How
they do hate that man-and fear him.
It is said to DO o principle in poor
human nature to hate the one you
have wronged. The strange po!itir
cal crime of 1S76-77 was primarily q
wrong against the American people;
but it was also crime against Gov.
Tilden, and the Republicans know it,
and they hate HIM. How many times,
in the pauses of their malignant mis-
representations of him, have they
struck that other note and dwelt
upon his utterly paralyzed and broken
down condition physically. But when
ever they find themselves, as party,
in sore trouble, Tilden is suddenly
well again, and active; he is the
Mephistopheles who brought about
the trouble, no matter what the trou-
BILE may be; thus: "The Illinois State
Register believes that Mr.. Tilden
precipitated the conflict between
Conkling aud the President, and
counts him the potent and supreme
factor in the political events of the
day. This israccording a great deal
of power to the quiet, unobtrusive
private citizen who daily takes his
ride or walk in the park, or in the
rural roads around Greystone. Mr..
Tilden can stand it if his enemies
can"

Texas Ii unfortunate in her United
States Senator's, First Coke dema
gogued himself into tho position by
promising, az Governor, TO wipe out
tho public debt in hundred days OF
NO, and similar fair promises, Also
by championing the new constitution
prior TO its adoption, But no sooner
was he fairly installed into his new
position than he spoke his real sen
timents, and very justly denounced
the new constitution. He very soon
became az unpopular as he had been
popular. But what cared he, after
the election
And now it appears that the meas
ures resorted TO by Maxey to secure
reelection, will not bear investiga-
ton. limitations Of his connection
with the Star route swindle have been
prevalent for some time, founded on
the fact that while he was member
of O committee having direct super
vision Of the subject, he ignored the
whole matter. But now the charge
is made directly that Brady took m
active interest in Maxey's reelection,
and addressed letters to Marshal
Russell ut Austin, inquiring the
names of members Of the Legisla-
turo opposed TO Maxey, and their
politics and post Office addresses.
Hon. John Hancock and other rep
ptable gentlemen testify to tho fact
of such correspondence.
In this connection we will state
that We were called on last fall or
winter, pending the election for U.
S. Senator. by q special agent of the
post Office department, ostensibly to
make inquiries about the manage
ment of the Office at this place. But
he further took occasion to make va
rious inquiries as to the relative
strength of Maxey and Throckmor-
ton in this section, and eulogized the
latter very highly. we thoughtit rath-
or strange then that he should SO in
terest himself in the matter; but it
is o good deal clearer to our mind
now,
The inference irrisistibly made is
that Brady's stolen Star route mil
lions were made to do duty in piling
mp Maxey's large majority over his
able and honest competitor for Sen
ator. But the election is over, Max
ey reinstated, and again it is demon
strated that the rightdoes not always
come uppermost. There is only this
gain-another lesson to the people.
