Show THE OnEQOW CIPHER DISPATCHES. Dm flcnuto commifleo on election! pi otnula to have obtained a key whicl 1ih cmibled it to translate tlio din pnLclipg to mid from Now York am Oregon, relativo to the Wutta Cronii '-'ectornl vote. Xhoy nil relate to the f8,000 trananctioD, which sum was needed to curry out the democratic pi gramme. Most of the Uispulchee Bent from Oregon tire signed by J. H. N. Patrick to Pelton, 15 Grammcrcy park, whicli same h the residence of our noxt friend, S. J. Tilden. One of Patrick's ttjlcyrama contains this Houtcnce, upon which it can bo imoined that a Hooil of virtuous republican indignation will be expended. ex-pended. "Mast purebnso republican elector to recognize and act with the democrats and secure- the vote and provont trouble. Deposit $10,000 to my credit, etc." Who the originator ot the scheme was to purchase a republican re-publican olector to recutfiifzo Cronin wo aro not informed; but it Bccnia as if but little confidence waB placed in (.irovcr's certificate, whon Bnch a purchaao was deemed essential to render him a presentablo elector. It is not to be supposed that tho commit com-mit too has secured tho proper key . to unlock the budget, for it is not to bo boliovod that our friend Patrick I would hava committed himself to the ......... .twiu yjm; oci, iUIHl in iuj dispatch. He U altogether too astute a politician to put his naiue to ao tlimsy a statement. Tho commit teo's key deciphers another dwpntch to Pehon, to which tlicre was no signature. It makes an earnest appeal for money as usual. It says: "Governor all right without reward. Will issuo certificate Tuesday." Tues-day." Wo aro alnnat willing to make our davy that Patrick never sent that dispatch. There is no cipher in tho world that a prudent politician would commit such an implication to. Morton has no doubt made a key of his own, and is reading out of Pandora's box instead of the democratic demo-cratic valiso.

Xo cipher dia patches were needed, and Ci rover re-quiml re-quiml no crowding to perform his duty. Whether Cronia was a ncces-Bily ncces-Bily or not is another question. He certainly was an expensive luxury, and is not likely to benefit Tildeu's case. It Governor G rover had con-tenUxl con-tenUxl himself with the declaration that but two electors had been chosen, the Oregon vote would probably have! b.cuu at us Pes I lor T:!den, and the cao would have been a more difficult diffi-cult one for the republicans. Morion will evidently have to get a new key. He cannot deceive anybody of aver-ago aver-ago intelligence into tho belief that he has opened any real democratic budget. |
