The REVOLUTION ADVANCING,
Charles Francis Adams Declares
for Tilden.

In brief interview with the Hon.
Charles Francis Adams at his Quincy
home, Immediately after the reception of
the news of Gov. Tilden's nomination,
the veteran statesman very frankly gave
his opinion of the nomination.
Mr.. Adams expressed his surprise at
the Conventions arriving at so speedy a
decision. That Mr.. Tilden had secured
the necessary two thirds on the second
ballot showed his great strength in his
party.
Mr.. Tilden, said Mr.. Adams, is for
midable candidate, especially on hard
money platform. With Mr.. Tilden and
this platform the Democratic party stands
better, morally, before the people than
does the Republican party. Hayes is
nothing; respectable, no doubt, but with
out any record as reformer.
Tilden is in himself a platform. He
has made his record. OF the two said
Mr. Adams, very decidedly, would in
initely pref er to see. Mr.. Tilden in the
Executive chair. Mr.. Adams further
said that he had feared Tilden's enemies
would stab him in the back. His foes
were jobbers and corrupt men. He will
have hidden enemies to encounter in the
coming campaign. The tradtionary
discipline of the Democratic party. the
party pride and inclination, will cause
all Democrats to fall into line for Mr..
Tilden.
Mr.. Adams also said he thought Mr..
Tilden would carry his own ScA1e. The
independent vote will probably divide,
those voters with Republican predilec-
tons going for Hayes. However, Gov.
Tilden will secure the support ofthe op-
ponents of corruption who desire to see
real work accomplished. The Republic.
an platform is weak, especially in its fin
ancial plank. This was aM endeavor to
catch both the "soft and "hard" money
men.
AS to the other candidates before the
ST. Louis Convention, Mr.. Adams thought
them all weak. Hancock would have
been beaten on account partly, of his
being military man. There is reaction
perhaps temporary, against military men,
owing to the dissatisfaction with Gen.
Grant. Thurman would have been a
fair candidate, but not strong. Hend-
ricks had no national record of impor-
tance.
Tilden's war record is a good one. He
is all right there. AS President, Mr.. Til
den would sweep away corrupt men and
abuses.-BOSt0H Herald.

seemed to feel that the time had come
for change in the affairs of the country.
Hon. M. d. Harter, who presided in the
absence of Hon D. Burns, who is con-
fined to his home by sickness, supported
Hayes for Governor last fall. He is the
manager of one of the largest manufac-
turing establishments in the country, and
has come out for Tilden. His influence
will be felt. A grand torchlight process
sion passed through the principal streets,
leaving the Republican ratification meet

The Republican organs are. asserting
that Governor Tilden was crony of
Boss Tweed, land did nothing to check
his robberies until the press knocked him
down and dragged him out. 1t seems to
us poor business to belittle the services
of Governor Tilden in this connection.
That which he did was to place in the
form of legal evidence the great, con-
fused mass Of rumor and statements Of
fact that occupied the newspapers. This
was the result of several weeks Of hard
work, that could not have been performed
by any other than persistent and acute
lawyer. 1t was this work that caused the
legal conviction of the thieves Ctncin-
