Suppj.kmknt. —Readers of Tiie Union arb supplied this week with a Supplement containing the celebrated cipher dispatohes and their translation as originally pub lished by tiie New York Tribune. These dispatches, the authenticity of which is so completely established that the conspirators themselves, even, dare not dispute them, show ah organized attempt upon the part of prominent domooats to secure the presidential office for Mr. Tilden, ancj through him to obtain control of the government, by the corrupt use of money. Mr. Tilden will, most probably, be the demo--ui atie caudrdxreToFthe presidency in 1880; add the people, irrespective of political predeliotions or past affiliations, who advocate purity in public life, ought carefully to read the evidence of the moral turpitude of those who have been, are now, and will continue to be, Mr. Tilden’s confidential advisers. It is recommended that all into whose hands this Supplement falls lay it away for consultation in the future when the political campaign shall have waxed warm. Extra copies of the Supplement may, bo had in limited numbers upou application at Tub Union office.
