Gov. Tilden's former relations with members
Of the Tanmany Ring have been the subject Of much
discussion lately in Republican journals The Albany
Argue makes this statement in regard 70 the matter
"Tammany Hall, under Tweed's dictation, would noe

to give Tilden pace'on the State Committee there

ence of Democrats outside OF New-York. That course

About the strangest specimen of platform
literature put forth recently is that Of the Maine Republ
can Convention. Aside from the resolution on the cur
rency thore single plank in reference to National
affairs which rises much above the level OF claptrap me
third term question is completely ignored. and Gen.
Grants Administration does not receive the slightest men
tion-an omission significant than tho whole plat
form. Congressman Hale made speech to the Conven-
ton explaining IN why the third term subJecs
was not alluded to- and tactly confessng that every
thing had not been lovely as it might have been
at Washington. Here Is the most pregnant passage
The great departments of the Government are being
rim on honest purposes and thieves and robbers are
being hunted up and punished The President. by
plain and honest letter. has put end to the third term
ineasness-an uneasiness that free to say never
troubled nv days or nights Moreover, considered IL
the last session OF Congress that the Republic
can policy with the South to be OF moderation and
Cancellation We arc to have no force bills no upturning
established State Governments The party policy will
be firm and the citizen will be protected In every rghS
guaranteed to him by the Constitution and the laws but
the military power will, except IN those rare cases OF
ordination to the civil power In this way the south VIII
have fair opportunity to develop its resources ana
whenever the citizen, white or black Is left unframed
there will be meddng on the part or the icicrii
Government" This would seem to indicate that tn
Force bill not wise measure as IL might nav
been that there has been some upturnlng OF csia"
eminent has been in tho habit of "meddlng" wis~
the south.
