WAS 8. y. IT,, TWEED sPLIAST TOOL WHEN CHAIR
MAN or THE DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE?
On November 4, 1871, Mr.. Samuel J. Til.
den, Chairman of the Democratic State Com.
mittee, was thus spoken Off
Remember that the frauds Of Tweed, Hall,
Sweeney and Connolly are no longer mere
newspaper talk. They are matters Of official
record They have formed the basis of
suits in the Courts, under the advice of Mr..
Charles 0'Conor, the leader Of the New York
Bar. They are denounced in language quite
as strong as we have used in the Times, by
Mr.. Samuel j. Tilden, Chairman Of the Dem
ocratic State Committee, &c., &c.
VOTE FOR SAMUEL j. TILDES.
The following explains Itself
From The New York Times, Nor. @, 1871.
VOTE FOR SAMUEL J. TILDEE.
The voters of the Eighteenth Assembly Dis.
trict ought TO esteem it an honor and
privilege to elect Samuel j. 1ilden 10 the
Legislature. He has shown himself gal.
liant, conscientious, efficient foe to corrup.
ton. We appeal to every Republican to
vote and work for him, and to do so the
more eheerfully-as we make this appeal
because he is an honest Democrat.
AFTER THE BArrLE-wAs Mr.. TILDES IN BAD
COMPANY AGAIN?
The election of 1871, as is well known, re.
suited in the overthrow of majority of the
Ring candidates. From the Times of Nov.
| 8, 1871, the following comments are gathered:
"The significance of our success on Tues.
day should not be misunderstood by the reg.
ular professional politician, nor should its
honors be misappropriated. Let no one pre-.
sumptuously claim it as party triumph. 1t
was movement Of the great body Of the
people, irrespective of party distinction. The
honest citizens suddenly took the manage
ment of their own business into their own
hands. But it was not we repeat, the work
of any. party-it required the union of honest
men Of both parties. And that, warm thanks
to the intelligence, energy and courage Of
prominent merchants, bankers lawyers and
others of both political parties, were glori.
ously successful. Among individuals, how.
ever deserving Others are Of commendation,
il will not be deemed invidious 10 say that to
William +. Hayemeyer, Charles o. Conor and
Samuel j. Tilden large share Of credit is
due
Mr. Tilden having been elected to the As.
sembly the Times of November II, 1871,
speaks Of him as follows =
"On the Democratic side in the Assembly,
Mr.. Tilden will undoubtedly be the leader
and as such ought to be able to promote the
cause of sound reiormatory legislation in a
very marked manner. Hisjudgment in regard
to municipal affairs is ripe, and his indepen.
dence has been proven by the severest tests.
His voice will be entitled to great weight"
HONOR To WHOM HONOR Is DUE.
From the New York Times OF Nov. 1s, 1871.
"After battle is fought and victory won
it will generally be found that those soldiers
who are the most boastful of their powers,
and the most forward TO claim credit for their
valiant deeds, are the very men who, during
the progress of the fight were seen skulking
in the rear or hiding themselves behind trees
and hedges. it thus appears
that in spite of all the exposures of the Tam.
many thieves, and in spite of all the efforts
of Mr.. Tilden and other honest Democrats in
behalf of the Reform ticket, the great bulk
of the Democratic candidate tparty p still
clung to the thieves candidate, while only
comparatively small portion joined the Re.
| form movement"
Nh. TIiDES IS THE LE0IsLATURE-wAs HE IDLE
THERE?
| The most important Act of the Legislature
which convened in January, 1872, was the
impeachment of Judges Barnard and Cardozo.
Mr.. Tilden was indefatigable in his efforts To
punish the corrupt judges. He was a mem.
Der of the Judiciary Committee that conduc.
ted the preliminary investigations, and ulti.
mately reported in favor Of impeachment.
The assembly, however, in most unerateful
manner, denied him place among the nine
managers chosen to prosecute the impeached
Judges. The editorials that follow indicate
in a most unmistakable manner what opinion
the Times entertained of this neglect on The
part of the Assembly. We are also treated
to some very plain talk concerning Mr.. Hus.
ted, speaker Of the last Republican Assembly.
Mr.. Alvord, leading Republican Assembly.

The prospect OF getting Judge Barnard
fairly tried is at present poor one. To be
sure the Legislature has directed trial and
managers have been appointed, but who are
| these managers? The Court managers have,
| IN fact, been deliberately packed. Some un. |
derhand influence must have been at work to
produce such q result at this There were
some gentlemen engaged in the preliminary
investigations whose honesty was beyond ali
question. One or two are retained on the
