SYRACUSE, \. Y, SEPT. II Tilden in
reply to a serenade tonight made a
ton of the Government is going on to a
sure 'onsummation' The people must
have retrenchment in public expenditures,
reform IN public administration, smpliti-
cation and reduction in the tariff and taxes
entorcedby better civil and criminal rene
dies The Federal Government is drifting
into greater dangers and greater evils,
rushing onward to career of centralism,
absorbing all governmental powers and
assuming to manage affairs of human
society. 1t undertakes to direct the bust
ness OF individuals by tariffs, not intended
torlegltimate taxation, by granting special
privileges and fostering monopolies at the
expense of the people. 1t has acquired
control OF all the banks, has threatened to
seize the telegraph, is claiming iurisdic-
ton of all corporations is going to usurp
control of all schools and colleges, and is
subjeeting the free press of the whole
United States for criticism of the Admin
istration to trial by creatures of and under
the eye of the Administration. These
tendencies must be stopped, or before we
know it the whole character of our Gov
eminent will be changed Mr. Tilden
claimed that the Democracy is the nucleus
of the opposition which will remedy all
these evils
