The Anything-to-beat Tilden Booms

This is a season of Presfdentíal booms. Almost every week Uien; comes to this office sonie newspaper in wliieh are several columns editorial and excerpts devoted to thisor tliat gentleman' ambition to sil in the white house. The Indiarmpolis Sentinel made clear. to itself at least, the necessity of adopting Thos. Hendricks as tlie savior of the organization in the coming canvass. The Sclienectady Star, John Kelly and canal ring Oigan labored through several columns to prove that Samuel J. Tilden can not be elected, if nominated. [Tiiis is what it did in 1876]. The Syracuso Coarier publistied at the seat of the gang of canal plunderers, three of whom are vinder bonds of $750,000 in the aggregate to abide the result of a snit brought against them in behalf of the state, is busy manufacturing opinión in favor of Ilugh J. Jewett. This paper is under the political and financia! control of a political combination which agood many people of New York believe ought at this time to be in the penitentiary. It is therefore to be expected that, backed by such influences the Syracuso Councv is simply doing the bidding of those who control it. By assisting to foist upon the party a railroad coiporation candidato it is performing the mission assigned it, viz: Anything to beat Tilden. The Rochester Union is at hand. and it too, is aiding the Jewett movement. To those acouainted with this journal which has stood by JarVls Lord and his son George, the latter having been arraigned in court more than once, indicted for defrauding the state, and the senior driven into disfrace under Governor Tilden's administration for participation in corrupt practices, nothing different need be expected. Lord is a stockholder in the Union which paper has hated Mr. Tilden because he exposed the corrupt methods of himself and son. lts opposition is based upon pretty much the same ground as is that of its Syracuse cotemporary, both newspapers being under control of what is well known in New York as the canal and Tammany rings comprising disreputable politicians of both parties. If the secret intent of those newspapars especially of New York, opposing the re-nomination of Mr. Tilden by singing praises in behalf of Jewett or other candidates, is exposed, we find their opposition to be inspired either by politiciana who recognize John Kelly as "boss"' and who have personal grievances to revenge because their f ellow Tammany associate ( 'i umbleton was removed f rom the clerkship of New York county by Robinson for exacting illegal fees, or, by an association of men in the interior whose acquisition of wealth through dishonorable connection with her canals wa.-s cut short by Gov. Tilden. Ilis gubernatorial administration ijeimmn wi' tli -i na w violent ly opposing him,tremblingforfear they might along with Tweed be foundbehind prison walls. If none of them were locked up at the time their old " boss" was, they were either out on bail or have escaped a deserved penalty. The opposition of this classof men, just now pretty noisy through their organs may exert an inlluence where their record is not known. Tkose Biblical lejtaons we weretaught in our boyhood days are rapidly giving place to more sensible and reasonable COnstructionS. Tlíirty years ago no Clergyman disputed tlie statement that the world was made in six days, that the sun and moon once stood still for the convenience of a few men who were flghting; that Jonah was ewallowed by a whale; that Balanm's ass spoke. Grave and revered ministers go so far as to discredit these Bayinga ;-.nd credit them to the tmpossibüifcies. Rpv. M. C. Loekwood of Paterson, X. J., questionedtheir correctuesB, and brave enough to asscrt his opinions, he carne near losing hia place. The John Kelly movement in New York is said to be on the wane. Many of the Tammanyites are weakening, and it is predicted that the two conventions vhich soon meet in Syracuse willunite on a delegatlon to Cincinnati. Mr. Tilden's agenta ave everywhere condnctiiirj: such a s, eret and energetic canvass that hls ascendap" y is beHeved tobe assuvf.1. Tho democratie Union has invited the ehamnen'of the Irving hall and ïanimanyhallgeneralcommittees to meet a committee of the Union for consultation, and recommends tliat joint primarias be held undi r the charge of inspectora oppointed by both organizations. Next to Camerontirant hadno warmer friendin Pennsylvani tiian W. H. Kemble. Rich and unscrupuloua tlie politics of the secoTid state in the union has long been a disgrace under the manipulations of tbis notorious advocate of" addltion, división and silence.'7 He believed lumself beyond tlie power of the law and laughed at the idea of proseeution; To-day he is a fugitive from justico not knowing whether it is best for him to return and go to prison, or, remain away from the bank of which he is president, and the other important and responsible interests that have been cotaniiUod bo his care.
