HONORING TILDEN'S MEMORY.

HONORING TILDEN'S MEMORY.
Pittsburgh Commercial-Gazctte.
It viii be uphill work making a saint
of Mr.. Samuel J. Tndeen unless his
friends and admirers keep out of sight
and ont of memory the monstrous frauds
and corruptions Of 1876. Ex-Governor
Hoadly. of Ohio, in a speech made al
the Tilden birthday banquet, had the
bad taste 70 revive the unsavory and
bungling attempt to steal the Presiden-
cy by making the untruthful assertion
that it was due to the memory OF Mr..
Tilden and the truth of history to say
that. whoever might be to blame for the
device of the Electoral Commission.
TiIden was not, since he neither consent
ed to nor advised the bill, nor was he
consulted with regard to it.
Mr. Hewitt, VINO was Chairman of the
National Committee at the time and
knew ali about the scheme, SAYS he in
formed Mr. Tilden himself of the pro-
posed actiOn-that is, the Electoral Com
mission-and made similar declaration
on the floor of the House while Mr.. Til
den was still living Not only So, but
the notorious Pelton, who is now de
nounced as the marpiot. was sent 10 Mr..
Tilden 10 notify him that if he did not
sanction the bill as it came up for final
passage they would not permit it to
pass. The answer which Pclton return
ed was that Mr.. Tilden was satisfied that
the Electoral Commission was the best
thing that could be devised.
Il may suit the purposes of some of
Tilden's worshippers to insist that his
accredited agent played him false in this
matter and represented him as satisfied
with something he knew nothing about,
but few will believe such stuff. Mr..
Tilden was deep in the whole diSreputa-
bic scheme to steal the Presidency by
bribery in Snuth Carolina, Florida, Lou
iSinana and Oregon, and no amount of
denial or explanation can wipe out that
fact The Democrats were short one
Electoral vote, and the history Of the
cipher dispatches shows how willing and
anxious they were to purchase that vote,
\ more nefari0us scheme to usurp au-
thority was nev.r frustrated in a free
country, and the wonder is that it should
be willingly revived, at any time, much
less in an aSsemblage called to do honor
to the memory of the man who was to
have been the chief beneficiary of the
fraud.
