The Manner in which tho Dispatches Aro 8aid to Have Been Mads Public, “NOT GUILTY.™ '° TILDEN'S PLRASANT ARGUMENT, To the Western Assoclated Press. New Youx, Oct. 17.—8ainuel J. Tilden has fssucd a card relating to the recent pudlications of the cioher teleerams in the New York Tribe wne, ‘Tilden says: T have read the publications fn the Tribune of the 8th fnst., purporting to be transtations of ciphier telegrains relatingto 1he canvass of votes in Florida at tho Iresidentfal election of 18763 and have luoked over Lhoso printed in the Trib- une of this morniog relating to the canvass fu $outh Carollna. I bavo no knowledyo of the existence of these telegrams, nor any information atout them ex- cent what has been derived from or suco the publications of the Z'ribune, Somuch for these telegrams wenerally, 1 shall speak yet more specifically as to some of them, ZFirst—Thoso which relato Lo an offer purport- irg to have been made In behatf of eome mem- hier of the State Board of Cuuvassers of Florida, tuglve, i FOR PECUNTARY COMPENSATION, certiflcates to the Democratic Electors who had been nctually chosen. Notie of these telegrams, nor any telegram communicating such offer, or relatlig to such offer,was seen hy me, translated to e, or the contents of it in any manner made kuown tome. 1 had no knowl- edge of the exlatence or purport of any telegram relating to that subject. Nor did I learn the fact that such offer of Flurida certificates bad been mado until long after the Gih' of Decem- bery ot which time the certificates were delly- ered and tho Electoral votes cast, and when the {oformation casually reachied me, as of o past eventy it was accompanied by the statemeat that the offer had been refected. Secondiy—As to tho publicatfons in the Zrib- wuneof this worning purporting to Le translae tions of cipher telegrams relating to the cauvass ol votes {n South Caralina In 1870, which I lave seen slnce 1 wrote the foregolug, 1 can Nmuk of them no less definitely and positively, o oae such tetepram, cithor in cipher or trans. lated, was ever shown to or Its contents made * ¥hown to me. No offer or negotiation in be- half of the Sjate Canvusscrs of South Caraling, or any of them, or sy dealing with noy of them t respeet tocertilleatcs to Electods” was ever outhorized or sanctioned Ly any manuer by we, directly or through any other person.” 1 will add that no offer to give certlficates of any Ree turning_Board or State Canvassers ot any Stato to the Democratic Eluctors in conslderation ot the proulises of office, or tmoney, or property; no negotlation of that nature in belialf of any memberof such Board or with any such meuie her: no attempt to influence the nction of any such member, or to tuflucineo the action of any Elector of Prestdent und Vice-Prestdent by such motives, WAS EVER ENTERTAINED,, considered, or tolerated by me or ‘xy anvbody within wy Influence, by my consent or by my knowledize or gequicecence.” No such contom- )lated transaction could at any time have comuo within the range of my power, without that power beme {natantly ¢xerted to crush it out, A belicl was doutless current that the certifi- cates from the State of Floridu conforming to the actual vote of the people were in the mar- ket 1 have not the slightest donbt in tho world," sald Mr, Saltoustall, who was {n Florida ot the thme, In a recent futerviow with the fere ald, **thut that [Florida] vote could have becn hought, 1t Mr. “Tilden vad veen dishonorabte ehoueh to d it done, for n grest deal less thau $60,000 or $2,000,"" 1t wus known that elther one of thetwo mems bers who composed the majorlty of the ¥lorida Btate Canvassers could coutrol Its action, pnd give certificates to the Democruts, Either anc of them could settie the Presidential controvers sy dufavor of the Democratic candidutes, whir lucked but one vote, How accessible to venal tnducementa they were fs shiown by the testi- mony of McLin, Chiairman of the Board of Stata Cunvasxers, in bls _cxamination before thy Pot~ ter Committes fn June last, Ho adm'teed that Lthe true yoteof the people of Flornla was in Lavor of ghe Democratic Electors, and that the I tavt even nu‘&-c d on the face of the county ro- turns, fn anong them the trie return fromn Haker County, notwithstanding great fruuds azainst the Denocrats in sote county returns. 1o also confessed that, In voting to plve the certificates to the lenublican Eloctors, hie acted under the Influence of prowmises THAT IE BUOULD BE KEWARDED In caso “Mr, Hayes becume President,” sdding that *Certaluly " these promises must have hnd Btrongs control over my 5mhm|uul. und uction,” Alter tho certificutes of the Loulsiuna Return- ingz Board hiad been repeatedly offered to Mr, Hewitt and others for money, they wera given in favor of the Reoublican Llectors, who had beew rejected by u large majority of thu voters, and the members of this Returnivyg Board now possess the moat fmportant Federal offlees in tnal State, ‘Lhe pregnant fact always remains that none of thesc corrupt Boards gave thelr certificate's 1o Democratic Electars, but they all did give them w Bepublicun Etectors, 1 1AL A EHFECTLY FIXED PURFOSE, trom which | never deviated in word or uct,—n vurpose which was kuown to or assumed by all with whom 1 was 1 habitual comnmuaication, 10 the Prestdency of the United- Btutes was to be disposed of by certiticates to Le won from corrupt Returntie Buards by any form of venal fuducements, whether of offlces or of woney, [ was resol Lo take no part {h the shameful tompetition, and I touk vone, The tmaly futercst of the victory which resnlt- ed fu my clection was the expectution that throuzh the Chief Mogistracy u systom of ree tormns shullar Lo tnat which had been accom- plishicd o our metropolls aud lu our State Ad- wiluistration would bo achicved in the Federal Uovernment, For this object it was ucces- sary that § should be untramucled by any com- witment fu the cholee of men ty exeeuty tho ufliclal trug of the Government, sud antrammeled by 1any obligations to special in- tereats, 1 had Geen bomluated and | was clect- «d without oune limitation of my perfect in- itepeudence, To have surrendered or compros mised the advantages of thls positlon by u degrading competition for Returnlug Boara certilicstes would bave been to abandon all that made victory destrable,—everything which could liave sustatoed we o the larger struggle that victury woutd have (muosed upon wme. 1 was tesulved to go foto the Presidentia) chalr to full cuwiwand of ulf wy resources for usclulucss, & Ok NOT AT ALL. \While thus ubstainivg from jguominfous com- petition for such certificates, I saw thieee certiti- cates ubtatned for Republican Electors who had ot beew cosen by the people, aud denled Lo Dewocratic Electors whio had been chosen by the prople, 'lese false uud fraudulent certificutes, uow confessed mod proved to have been obe tained Ly corrupt wduceinenty, were wade the me“ for takivg from the people heir righit- ut choice for the Presidency und Vicw-Presi- depey.

It willbe remembered that Mr. Watterson and some other Demnocrats at that thne loudly and persistently urged the summoningto Wash- fngton of not less than 100,000 unarmed citi- zens ™ toattend the luauguration.

When Benator Morton had scen that his revelations had produced, the offcet he expected uuon these gene tlemen he satd, *Your people might perhaps make unpleasant discoveries on our stde If we push this [nvestigation; but you ecannot dis- cover anvthing which will commit or conviet our candidate.
