What The Tennessee Congressman
Think of Tilden.

! dsk0u MS OplulOu. ne EGDilSu EudG He
| hesitated to give it on account of the
| sensitiveness of the people to what is
| called Congressional dictation, but since
/ the nomination was made, he was frank to
/ say that he would support it with all his
might. He did not agree with Mr.. Til
| den ia regard to his financial views, but
as the platform had been adopted, as
| Tennessee voted for it, he woali yield
| his individual convictions upon that
point Hendricks as Vice-President
would greatly strengthen it in Ten
| nessee. Tilden, he said, is a wonder
! full man He had never sought office,
yet as Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee Cf his party, understood the
! question of organization to perfection.
! When nominated for Governor no one
expected him to be elected, as Dix had
carried the State for the Republicans by
! $4,000 at the previous election. TiIden
had faith in the honesty of the masses
! and accepted the nomination for the
purpose of proving that the people
/ would sustain an honest and capable
man who would put down corruption
| He said that he wanted to show to
young aspirants that honesty was the
| best policy. He was triumphantly
elected, and the same faith, integrity,
and fidelity to principle, says Riddle,
| will bear him to victory.
The next called upon was the
HON. J. D. G. ADKINS,
One Of the shrewdest and best posted
members from the South. He said that
up to the assembling of the St Louis
| Convention, he was of the opinion that
! Hancock or Thurman would be the more
available candidates. But the over
! " heIming and enthusiastic action of the
Convention proved that his judgment
| was at fault in this particular. His
nomination is a splendid personal tri-
umph 1t cannot fail to result in less
magnificent political victory IN NOVem-
| Der. The ticket represents Reform,
| Economy and Constitutional Govern
ment, and the American people will
| stand by these ideas, as they cherish
| the Government of their fathers. Every
| Democrat should work with all his
might, and Democratic success is &c r
| tain.

l had thought Hancock the most
| available candidate. Bat the Conven-
| ton, fresh from the people, has thought
| that the reat reforner Tilden was the
man for the times. | Yield my pref~
erence gracefully, and will work for the
success of the ticket.
Tilden is a great reformer and Hayes
would be, controlled by rings that must
be broken mp. We want honest gov
eminent.

l had hoped for different nomination
at St. LoGis. Mr. Tilden, | do not be-
lieve, was the choice Of our people. His
views upon the subject of the currency
are not in accord win the sentiments of
our people. In view, however, of o Their,
and if possible more vital issues invOlT-
ed in the present contest, the high char
acter as a reformer of Governor Tilden,
his honesty and fidelity in the discharge
of his official duties, the overwhelming
vote he received in the National Con
Vention from all sections of the couatrY,
title the ticket to the cordial support
Of all friends of reform, and honesty in
the administration of public affairs,
which have no doubt it will receive.
w P. CALDWELL.
The nomination of Tilden and Hen
bricks in my opinion, secures a Demo
cratic Triumph They are the fttest
representatives of the idea of govern
mental reform, and upon that idea the
battle must be lost or won. They are
atle, honest, resolute and patriotic, and
every friend of honest, economical and
constitution al government, should rally
under their standard and bear it forward
to victory.
JOHN F. HOUSE.
The nomination of Tilden will excite
surprise and perhaps temporary dissat-
isfactiOn in some portions Of the cOun-
try, but ] cannot doubt the loyalty of
the Democratic party to the great prin-
ciples of reform, economy and honesty
In the administration of the Govern
ment, of which Tilden is the embOdi-
ment, and no true Democrat can falter,
because he did not get his choice. ]
had no choice in the ordinary accep-
tation of the term believe Hancock
was the most available man, and so be-
lieving, | preferred his nomination, but
the Convention, composed of delegates
from all portions of the country, and
fresh from the people, thought other
wise and l Cheerfully accept their deoi-
sion. A National Convention is simply
a farce, if every man who does not sue
coed in having his faYorite nominated,
sets his own judgment up against the
Judgment of tWO-thirds Of the repre-
sentatiVes of his party. No man can
truthfully say that Tilden will not make
a good President. The contrast between
what we have had for the last eight
years and what we would haYe under
such Tan administration as Tlden would
give us,ougbt to attract to him the en-
thusiastic support of every Democrat
and independent voter in the country
who, desires, to see the mon ey-changer
scOurged from the temple. Hayes may
be good, aWiable man, but he lacks |
the positive elements without which, |
reform in the adm Illustration of the
Government is simply impossible. If | !
am not mistaken in my estimate of his !
character, Hayes wonuld be a very dan !
gerous President in the present condi- |
ton Of the country. A weak man v he |
could be moulded and manipulated by |
the ADLER and less scrupulous men of |
his party, would prove more dan |
gerous in the Presidential chair than any |
one of the spirits that might control !
him, for the latter would act without the |
restraint which responsibility to the |
country and difference to the verdict Ct /
PROSPERITY are calculated to inspire.
1T will require a Hercules 70 cleanse /
the Augean stable-the Convention has |
presented him in the person of Samuel |
J. Tilden.
Sheriff, Trustee, Constables and Magis-
trates are TO be elected August the Sd.
