Tilden boom.-Bdltimoro Herald.
In one case tho country would DO the suf-
ferer; in the other IL is Mr.. Tilden.
If the democratic party were strong in its
principles, and did not depend upon money to
make a campaign, would it'll pass by such men as
Bayard, Randall, Thurman, and Mcdonald to
espouse the cause of q mau whose record as
cipher conspirator is tho most unsavory thing
in tho history Of American politicsP
Mr. Tildon will get tho democratic nomina-
tion at Chicago if he wants it. and there will
be no tariff plank in tho platform. We shall
then SEQ a protection democrat lending q FREQ
they may fill their pockets with Mr.. Tilden's
greenbacks. AS thoy are not likely to get a
chance at tho spoils after election, they will
improve overy opportunity before election.
Gen. Thomas Ewing, former democratic
candidate for governor of Ohio, and one of
the ablest men in his party, declares that
Mr.. Morrison and Frank Hurd are very
clever men, whom no knows we'll, but that
when it comes to dealing with the tariff they
must be classod as free trade cranks. 1t is
to be feared that these are not the only
oranks on the ways and means committee

Gen. Butler is beginning to got in his work
among the political traders who organize the
so-called "workingmens conventions" They
are heard from in different quarters--one, it
is said, in New Haven-and unless the old

himself in his organs, will DO in position to
say, Take me, with possible victory; or
reject me and meet certain deteat.-Hdrgord

Mr.. Uurd. of Ohio. ia ronorted as saving
that he 'does not care two cents who is the

democratic marty with its face towards froe
trade.n Hurd and Watterson are right
Evorv marty sbouId sail undor ito own coiors
Nothing keeps the democracv from coming
out for free trade excent the fear of LOSING
votes. Every four years they try to straddle
ana hedge TO deceive the people, and every
time they fail. Voters don't admire towards
as Leaders, and that Is Just what the demo-
cratic leaders are,-Chicago hter-Ocea
