EeE Gems to Begin With
Cincinnati Enquirer. June 5. 1876.
A private letter just received from New
Ork, from gentleman of fairness and /
intelligence, says: 81 had good opin-
ION OF IIlden until l came among those i
that know him, but / find they all agree /
that this show of reform is a humbug.' /
The recent Albany Conference is corr0b- /
oratiYe of all this testimony. The con- !
| trolling politicians, as well as the masses |
of the people in the Democratic party in
New ork, who can draw dividing line
| between al honest man and Bengal
| tiger or Il llypocrite, are alike well aware
| that Iilden can not carry his own State
4 should he, by the wrath of God, be nomi-
mated for the Presidency. If there are
potent reasons why the Democracy of
| Iilden's own State are opposed to his nom
| inatiOn, there are more, and greater rea-
| sons why the Democracy of the West and
| the South should be intelligent and hon
orable enough to resist his brides and de-
feat his nomination. We do not appre-
hend his nomination, but we are not in
sensible to the power of money and man
agement. There are a few facts concerning
Sam Tilden, which, we trust, will sink
into the minds of Western and Southern
Democrats.
1. He cannot carry his own State in
November.
=. He cannot carry any Northern State.
3. He is a hypocrite, polical swindler,
has long been public plunderer, and is
really the only disreputable candidate
prominently named on the Democratic
side.
4. He did what he could to defeat the
Democratic party of Ohio in 1879, expend-
ing his money, and substituting the East
ern Democratic press to that end, know
ing that Ohio's victory was his defeat,
and loving Tilden more than the Demo-
cratic party. He has earned the enmity
of the West and South.
). He has sought this high Office by
methods so unprecedentedly shameless
and disreputable that it would be an ever
lasting stigma upon a Democratic COnVen-
: ton to nominate him, and FeprOach up
on the American people to elect him if
nominated.
6. Upon the foremost question of the
hour he is most pitiIess foe of the inter-
= ests of West and South. He is the I'M
D | scrupulous Oppress or of the great, strug-
. CLING industries of the vast producingsec-
tions of the country. No Republican Ad-
ministration could he more hostile to them
9 than would his.
2 z. Should Goods Providence, seeming
+ ly estranged, !" permit his nomination, by
whom and what would he be nominated
By the servile, constituencies tools that
C money can purchase by the most corrupt
n influences that ever entered into n Presi-
dential nominations; by the system on
: which all other quack medicines are sold
e -advertising-aE even respectable med
r ical associations read out of the profession
h the Doctors that will advertise. Il
: would seem that the Democratic party
{ should have as high a respect for the gooC
q name of the party and the Government as
V the venders of pills have for their craft
! It could not but be that a man educated il
cunning, in hypocrisy, in iniquity, nom
mated in corruption and shameless elton
e tery, even though his millions could elec
h.. him, would give us the most corrupt ad
# ministration the country has ever known
. i s'Neither imperial dignities, nor the gloon
{ of solitude said Taeitus, ''could saw,
= Tiberius from himself" And TfldeI
n could not rise above himself; or above thu
sources of his power.
