Tweed, Tammany Hall, at the min
ute of closing polls, not waiting for

tho vote.
Let tlie telegraph be as follows:
'This town will show a Democratic
gain (or loss) over last year of (num
ber)." Or this one If sufficiently cer
tain : This town will give a Republi
can (or Democratic) majority of.''
There is, of course, an important ob
ject lo be obtained by a simultaneous
transmission at the hour of closing the
polls, but no longer waiting. Opportu
nity can be taken of tho usual half
hour lull in the telegrnphic communi
cations over lines bufore actual results
begin (o be declared, and before the

with returns, and interfere with indi

Mil. OltKELEY'S OPINION OF TILDEN.
To Samuel J .Tilden, Chairman Democratic State
Committee:
Hih: "You and 1 are growing old.
Wo cauio here young from the count
ry, aud have lived and struggled side
by sido for nearly- forty years. We
have participated ardently in many
political struggles, always on differ-
ent sides
On one verj im-
portaut'point, however, your bitter
ness as a partisan has impelled you to
ignoro and come short of 'your duties
as a citizen and professed upholder of
government by the people, aud for
t'iis dtriliction J here arraign you.
I allude to the preservation of the pu
rity of the ballot-box.
I can imagine how a man may shut
bia cj-co 'to mufoj " UfiugS 'ft Lit?li lie"
deetorf it convenient not to know ; but
I must speak of what you must know,
however you may wish or seek lo be ig
norant of it. Tho matter to which I
wish to call your attention is vital to
the very existence of free popular gov
ernment. Whenever it shall be generally-
understood that th,e result of
elections are not determined by the
ballots of legal voters, but by frauds
In voting or by frauds in counting,
then the event of avowed, unequivo
cal despotism must be near at hand.
Between the rule of an emperor and
tlie rule of a clique of ballot-box Bluf
fers, every intelligent man must pre
fer tho former as less rapacious and
more responsible. When honest citi
zens shall avoid the polls, asking,
What is the use of voting? the result
is already fixed,' tho days of the re
public will be numbered. Between a
ruler who prohibits-voting altogether
aud the gang who make it a sham by
filling tho ballot-boxes with illegal
votes, or miscounting those actually
cast, tho sway of tho former is every
way preferable.
You hold a most responsible and in
fluential position in the counsels of a
great party. You could make that
party content itself with polling votes
If you only would. In our late con
stitutional convention I tried to erect
Eomo fresh barriers against election
frauds. Did you? Tho very little
which I was enabled to effect in this
direction I shall trjr to have ratified
by tho people at our ensuing election.
Will 3'ou? Mr. Tilden, you cannot
escape responsibility by saying, with
tho guilty Macbeth : '"Thou canst
not say I did it; never shake those
gory locks at mo," for you were at
least a passive accomplice in the giant
frauds of last November!
Your name Is used, without public
protest on your part, In circulars
sowedbfoadcast over the State, where
of tho manifest intent was to 'mako
assurance doubly sure' that the frauds
here perpetrated should not be over
boruo.by tbe honesc.vote of the rural
district?. And you, not merely by si
lence, but by positive assumption, liave
covered those frauds by the mantle of
your respectability.
:0u the principle that 'tho receiver
is as bad as the thief,' you arc as deep
ly implicated in iliem to-day as though
your name was Tweed, O Bricn, or
Oa:ry Hall.
Mr. Tilden, you and J were ardent
participants in the struggle of 1S40,
wherein Martin Van Bureii wa3 oust
ed from the Presidency by General
Harrison. You know how thorough
ly our city was absorbed in that con
test, wherein every man, woman aud(
cniiu toon a ueep and lively interest.
Our elections were then held through
out three daj-s. There wns a registra
tion freshly enacted which blacklegs
had not yet learned to circumvent,
the right of suffrage was as widely
diffused as it now is, and no one over
complained that a single voter was
unable then to poll his vote. And,
though our city has since largely in
creased its' population, tho lower
wards were quite as populous then as
they are to-day several of them more

so. They were full of boarding hous
es "crowded with clerks and mechan
ics; many of them covered sites since
given up to great warehouses and
manufactories; their denizens have
Bince moved up town, over to Brook
lyn, or out ou some of the railroads
that lead into tho open country. Prac
tically the low wards are being given
up to commerce, and no longer shelter
by night the multitudes who throng
their streets by day.
How look at the vote of four of
these wards in 1S40 and 1868 respect
ively :
Wards. -President, lSI0- -Governor, 1SCS.-,

Van Buren'e majority, 726.
Hoffmauls majority, 17,413.
Mr. Tilden, you know what this
contrast attestB. Right well do you
comprehend tho means whereby the
voto of 1S63 wa3 swelled out of all
proportion. There are not 12,000 le
gal voters in these wards to-day,
though thoj' gave Hoffman 17,443 ma
jority. Had the day been of average
length, it would doubtless have been
swelled to 20,000. There was nothing
but time needed to make it 100,000 if
so many had been wanted and paid
for.
Now, Mr. Tilden, I call on you to
put a stop to this business. You have
but to walk into the Sheriff's, May
or's, and Supervisor's offices in the
City Hall Park 'and say that there
must be no more of it say it ho there
shall be no doubt you mean it and
we shall have a tolerably fair election
once more. Prabably a good part of
the 50,000 supplied last fall with bo
gus naturalization certificates will of
fer to regibter- aud to vote some of
them pretending not to know that
they are no more citizens of the Unit
ed States than tho King of Dahomy
is but very few will voto repeatedly
unless paid for it, and we shall not be
cheated more than 10,000; you simply
tell the boss workmen that there must
be no more illegal voting instigated
aud-paid-forv
Will you do it? Your reputation is
at stake. Tho cowardly craft which
'would not play false,' and yet would'
wrongly win,' will not avail, If-wo
Republicans are swindled again as we
were swiudled last fall, you, and such
as you, will be responsible to God and
man for the outrage.
Prosecutors, magistrates, municipal
authorities, are all in the pool; we
have no hope from the ministers of
jUstlceUUCrnid tllllnno tia.olluicai
of the terrors of the law. I appeal to
you, aud anxiously await tho result.
Yours, Horace Greeley.
TILDES 'S
LETTER
ANCE.
OP ACCEPT-
The history, of Samuel J. Tilden is
tbe story of the life of a wily hj'po
crito. He has always striven to ap
pear to be what, in fact, he has never
been an honest' man. Thus, as a
railroad lawyer, he appeared to bo la
boring to get his clients out of diffi
culty, when, in fact, he strove to in
volve them in inextricableombarrass
meuts, that he might absorb their
property. As a politician he associat
ed -with tho most desperate charac
ters, secretly co-operating with them
in schemes of robbery and fraud, but
publicly joining in the denunciation
of their corrupt methods when con
cealment was no longer possible.
The letter of acceptance of Mr. Til
den is precisely what mightbo expect
ed from the man. Incredible as it
may appear, the opening paragraph
contains a falsehood. Here it is:
I answered that at my earliest con
venience, and in conformity with us
age, I would prepare a formal accept
ance. I now avail myself of tho first
interval in unavoidable occupations
to fulfill that engagement.
Who believes that Mr. Tilden avail
ed himself of "tho first interval in
unavoidable occupations" to write his
letter of acceptance of a nomination
he has so dilllgently sought for many
months? Nobody. The country
knows on tho coutrary, that Mr. Til
den waited for the course of events in
Congress, that he intrigued with tho
Kouso Committee of Banking and
Curreucy to bring about its action of
Friday last for tho repeal of the date
clause of the resumption act, in order
that ho might mako his truckling
course on the subject of currency ap
pear consistent, as a bid for Western
support. What will be thought of a
letter which commences with a bra
zen "falsehood and closes with an
appeal to God! Mr. Tilden's letter is
disingenuous to the last degree. Noto
tho following:
Tho Federal taxes of the last eleven
yars reached the gigantic sum of $4,
500,000,000. Local taxations has
amounted to two-thirds as much
more.
The imprudence of even an illusion
to these figures by Mr. Tilden is almost
sublime, when it is considered that
the hulk'of this Federal taxation was
forced upon thejiountry by the rebell
ion, which was sustained bj' the aid
and comfort of the Democratic party,
of which Mr. Tilden was always a
prominent leader nud now the head ;
and when it is considered further that
in tho efforts to crush the rebellion
Mr. Tildeu not only took no part, but
actually denounced the effort is an
outrage and the largest item in the
sum of this local taxation was
that imposed" upon New York City
by the Tweed ring, of Which ho (Til
den) was and- active member. Noto
also the following gross misrepresen
tation. Mr. Tilden says r
, We see to-day tho immediate repre
sentatives of the1 people in one branch
of Congress.whilo struggling to reduce
expenditures, compelled tq .confront
the menace of the Senate and the
Executive, that unless objectionable
appropriations be consented to the op
erations of tho government thereun
der shalL suffer detriment or cease.
Mr. Tilden knows that this is a
misrepresentation, and he also knows
that every intelligent man in the
country knows this to be the reason
of the dead-lock between the House
and Senato on appropriation bills,
namely : that the House sought by a
clearly unconstitutional method to en
graft upon appropriation bills inde
pendent legislation, and thereby
compel acquiescence on the part of the
Senate on pain of the absolute defeat
of appropriations necessary to meet
current expenses of the government.
Mr. Tilden says :
If the duty shall be assigned to me
I should not fail to exercise tbe pow
ers with which the laws aud Consti
tution of our country clothe its .chief
magistrate to protect all Its citizens,
whatever their former conditon, in ev
ery political and personal right.
No faith nor credit can properly at
taoh to this promise. Why ? Be
cause in tho elaborate letter of Mr.' Til
den there cannot be found ono word
in condemnation of the massacres of
New OrleanB, Vicksburg, Coushatta,
and Hamburg ; not ono word In con
demnation of tho fraudalent election
In Mississippi whereby the adminis
tration of affairs of a sovereign State
was wrested by intimidation and as
sassination from tho majority by the
minority; not one word In condem
nation of the thousands of murders
committed by tiie Kuklux Ivlans, tho
White Liners, and the White Leagues
of the South, in pursuance of the pur
pose to nullify tho Constitution.
There is nothing in Mr. Tilden's rec
ord, nothing in his character as exhi
bited in his political life, to warrant
tho belief that, as Executive of the
nation, ho would enforce tho laws
against tho assassins of tho South.
Why? Because ho believes in the
right of secession, in the right of n
State to enslave a portion of its people,
and, therefore, in the invalidity of tho
late amendment to the Constitution.
In a word, Mr. Tilden adopts the
Calhoun view, that the Union is not
a Nation, but a Confederation of
States, and that the Constitution is a
mere treaty between independent
States. Thi3 view would permit the
re-establishment of slaverjT in a Stale,
and Vance, the Democratic candidate
for Governor of North Carolina, de
clares,, that It is his purno3e to ro-eii-slavo
the negro. Mr. Tilden says :
"Wo canuot afford the iusiduous and
oppressive centralism into which our
government is being converted." Mr.
Tilden can, by this declaration, mean
only one thing, namely: to protest
against the righteousness of the ver
dict of the swoid whereby It was de
cided that there is but one sovereign
tythat it is to say, the nation and
that the States are subordinate parts
of that sovereignty. Note the follow--ing
palpable misrepresentation :
An accessory clause, enhancing dis
tress in business, Is to be found in the
systematlo and Insupportable misgov
ornment imposed upon tho States of
the South.
Here tho assertion is intended to be
insiduously conveyed that tho nation
imposes government upon tho States
of the South. Nothing can be more
false. The people of every Southern
State govern themselves as absolutely
as do tho people of New York. It is
plain that Mr. Tilden panders to that
disloyal sentiment of tbe Sooth which
insists upon the political and 'civil
ostracism of tho negro. The South
ern white Democrat declares that the
negro shall bo eliminated from pol
itics, and Mr. Tilden says, amen,
indirectly, by falsely declaring that
the nation imposes "insupportable
misgovernment upon the States of
the South,' whereas the faot is that it
impose no governments otall upon the
South. Much of Mr. Tilden's letter is
devoted to a discussion of theourrency
question. On this subject he is utter
ly disingenuous. He is for hard mon
ey, and he is equally for greeubaeks.
To those who believe in a permanent
legal-tonder government currency
greenbacks ho says :
The object demanded by tho con
vention is a resumption of speoie pay
ments on legal-tender notes of the
United States. That would not only
restore the public credit aud maintain
the national honor, but it would es
tablish asound currency for the peo
ple. To tho3o who demand immediate
resumption ho declares that resump
tion ought to have taken. place already;
that the act fixing a date for resump
tion is a hindrance to resumption ;
that ought bp repealed in order to
hasten resumption, and that if he is
placed in the Chief Executive office
he will exeroise all those powers tend
ing soonest to bring about resump
tion. To the East Mr. Tilden says :
"I am for immediate resumption cost
what it may." To the West he says :
"I am for abolishing tho national
banks and making greenbacks the
cxolusive, permanent currency of tho
country. Ono of theso statements ia
false. It matters little which is false,
since no reliance can bo placed upon
a convicted falsifier.
Let every rearj'er reflect upon the
matchless audacity of the following
denunciation by this man Tilden,
who stands morally convloted of hav
ing conspired with Tweed in 18GS to
pollute the ballot-boxes of New York
City by cramming them with fraudu
lent Democratic votes :
The other evil is the organization of
tho official class into a body of merce
naries, governing the caucuses, aud
v.
dictating nominations of their own
party, and attempting to carry ejec
tions of the people by undue influence
and immenso corruption funds sys
tematically collected from the salaries
or fees of office-holders.
Let it also be remembered that for
6ix years Tilden belonged to the Tam-
many sooiety, and that during the
whole time he was a member of its
governing board by appointment of
Tioecd. Mr. Tilden's record gives tbe
lie to his letter. Tho denunciations
in which he liberally Indulges apply
with terrible force to his own practic
es. He has drawn an indictment to
which the country pointing aLhlm,
will respond : "Thou art the man !"
Can the country trust such a man ?
Can the country trust Tilden when It
reflects that he has touched no rail
way enterprise that he has not starv
ed iuto bankruptcy that ho might
the more easily absorb its assets?
Can the country trust Tilden to guard
the ballot-box, knowing that he has
been implicated In tho most gross vio
lations of Its purity? Can the coun
try put faith in Tilden's word of hon
or, while his falsehoods, under the
solemnltyof an oath, in offiolal papers,
deface the records of the State of
New York? Inter-Ocean
Wo extract tho following from our
"New York Letter," by Pietro :
"No matter ho'w much Democratic
papers howl about It, or how much
they may assert to the contrary, Til
den will not receive the undivided
support of tho Democratic party of
this city and State. Ho bough tlie
nomination with money which he
swindled out of the people In his rail
road schemes, but ho has not enough
to buy the eleotiou. Tho leaders of
Tammany will give him a support,
for he has already divided up the offi
ces among them, aud has partitioned
out the spoils ; but there be members
of Tammany, and Democrats who are
not members of Tammany, who can
not bo bought or driven, and John
Kelly Is having trouble with them.
There are thousands lu open revolt,
and thousauds moro will follow them.
By the way, speaking of this "Re
former," it is a fact that the Brook
tyn ring, a moro dangerous one than
Tammany even, went en masse to St.
Louis, and contributed of the money
they had stolen of the people of
Brooklyn to the fuud that nominat
ed "slippery Sam.'' I want this fact
remembered, that tho Brooklyn ring
the most unscrupulous, dangerous,
amejfifis. and altogether bad set of
political Tnieves ana plunderers "tne
country was ever cursed with were,
all and singular, in favor of Tilden's
nomination, and are to-day his chos
en and trusted counselors in the cam
paign. This is a matter that ought to
be known, as showing how much the
"reform" planks in the Democratic
platform really means.
Gov. Hayes' letter of acceptance
gives the liveliest satisfaction to the
Republicans and the better class of
Democrats. As a Democrat said to me
the other day, "it has the ring of true
metal; and I know him well enough
to know that he means it all, and will
carry out all he says. I shall vote for
him.'' That letter, with its manly ut
terances, and tho well known charac
ter of the man for doing as he says,
will make Hayes hundreds of thous
ands of votes. It is an encouraging
symptom, that in every ward of New
York and Brooklyn, Republicans are
organizing iuto Hayes and Wheeler
clubs, and this without tho interfer
ence of office-holders, or those who are
pleased to consider themselves "lead
ers." The people are moving to the
support of the Cincinnati ticket spon
taneously, and they will elect it as
certain as fate.
The New York Tribune says that
tho announcement of tbe President
that the appropriations of tho river
and harbor bill will be useless so late
In tho season, and may bo as well
postponed until the next session, and
that if passed by the Senato he will
veto the bill, "will gain the country
a sum almost equal to the whole tax
levied in this State (New York) for
State purposes." And the Tribune
says this without informing the coun
try that tho President is acorruptiou
1st or that "Grantism must be unload
ed" to save the Republican party
from defeat. Something is wrong.
Perhaps tho editor of the Tribune is
away from home. Inter-Ocean.
Of course Tilden Is for reform, and
'where he goes, his party goes.' This
was illustrated in 1S71. During tho
summer of that jear Tweed's rascali
ties were exposed, but he was never
theless nominated for State Senator
in the fourth district, and elected by
o majority of nearly 17,000, and this,
orer O'Donovau Rossa, the anti-Tammany
candidate, who was voted for
b' the Republicans, and, as iteeems,
by Republicans only. Tweed never
took his seat, but that was not tho
fault of the Tilden Reformers who
elected him. Inter-Ocean.

now to Treat Sunstroke.
The report of tho Sanitary Com
mittee of the Board of Health of New
York City, upon sunstroke, says:
"Sunstroke is caused by excessive
heat, and especially if the weather' is
'muggy.' It Is more apt to occur on
the second, third, or fourth day of a
heated term than on tho first. Loss
of sleep, worry, excitement, close
sleeping rooms, debility, and abuse of
stimulants predispose. It is much
more apt to attack those working in
the" sun, and especially between the
hours of 11 o'clock in the morning
and 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Ou
hot days wear thin clothing, and havo
as cool sleeping rooms as possible.
Avoid loss of sleep and all unnecessary
fatigue. If working indoors and
where there is artificial heat, see
that tho room is well ventilated.
If working in the sun, wear a light
hat, (black absorbs heat), and put
inside of it on the head a wet cloth or
green leaf; frequently lift the bat
from the head nud see that tho cloth
is wet. Do not check perspiration,
but drink what water you need to
keep It up, as perspiration prevents
tho body from being over-heated.
Havo whenever possible an additional
shade, as a thin umbrella, when walk
ing, a canvas or board cover when
working in the buu. When much
fatigued do not go to work, or be ex
cused from work especially after 11
o'clock in the morning on very hot
days, especially if tho work is in tho
sun. If a feeling of fatiguo, dizziness,
headache or exhaustion ocours, cease
work immediately, lie down in a sha
dy and cool place, .apply cold oloths
to and pour cold water over tho head
aud neck. If any one is overcome by
tho heat, givo the person cool drinks
of water or cold black tea or coffee, If
able to Swallow. If the skin Is hot
and dry, sponge with of pour cold
water over the body and limbs, and
apply to the head pounded Ice wrapped
in n towel or other cloth. If there is
no ice at hand, keep a cold "cloth on
the head, and pour cold water on it as
well as on tho body.

A'Cat Sucking a Man's Breath.
Mr. French, a member of tho Thome
Dramatic Troupe, playing an engage

early hour, and soon fell into a deep
slumber. After tho lapse of an hour or
two he was aroused by a feeling of
overpowering oppressiveness and suf
focation, and was horrified to find that
a huge cat was sitting on his breast,
and had its head to his mouth suoking
away his breath.
He found himself in an almost ex
hausted condition ; so much so that he
was unable to shrfko off the vampire
fiend attacking him. Struggle as he
would, tho cat only fastened its claws
tbe deeper In his chest, and went on at
its horrible feast.
His groans and crle3 of agony, how
ever, fortunately brought some neigh
boring lodgers to his relief, and he was
rescued from his frightful position.
Eveu then they were compelled to
turn him out of bed and roll him over
and over on the floor before tho cat
could bo made to release its hold nnd
abandon its purpose.

impelled into tho two buds next below
the cluster, which soon push strongly
and produces another cluster of flow

branch to which they belong is also
topped down to the level ; and this Is
done five times scoeaslvely. By this
means the plants become stout dwarf
