The administration Of the local affairs
Of New York by Governor TildeD, and
the Democratic party whom he led 10
victory IN 1874, presents 2 singular and
most honorable contrast to that Of his
Republican predecessors. At q recent
commercial assembly Governor Tllden
and many prominent men were hOnOred
guests. In reply 90 e toast, District
Attorney PierrepOnt took occasion to re-
yamp the trite snd exploded Republican
argument that the commercial dspres-
sion Of New York was due to oppressive
local taxation. Governor Tslden, later
in the evening, in reply to toast a.
Iudsd to Mr.. PlerrepOnps Tenarksi said
he:
Undoubtedly when my friend asked
what is the matter with yO9, and then
answered it-over-tszstiOn and abuses
in government-be put his finger on the
real evil. But he seemed to have an
impression that the principal source OF
the difficulty WGs municipal govern
ment. Now, my fe!iOW-cIIzenfr the
Fed5 raj government draws from the r 7e
millions OF people ia the StSte OF New
York more, far more, Of taxes thSn toe
State government and local snd muniCi-
paI governments put together. ZAP
pIause 7 Mr.. OpdykG, in the COEyen-
tiOn OF 1867, estimated The taxes Of the
Federal g0ve rnment in the State Of New
York at eighty million dollars; bu5 put
ting it much less than that, they exceed
all local taxation and all Stats taxation,
And in that connection ! have the sat
isfactiOn to announce to you that this
session Of the legislature, which has just
nlOIed, has kept down the tolls on the
Erie canal, provided for tue improve
meDt Of that great work, and remmitted
eight Of the sixteen millions Of taxes
drawn from the people Of this State two
years ago" [Applauss J
By his bold and untiaQ giug war upon
the corrupt rings which mad ruled the
State 60 long, Governor HIden has sue
ceeded in two years in raising eight
million & dollars from the taX-6ur-
dened shoulders OF the people. Ii Is not
strange that the thieves who have
grown rich upon these millions OF un-
lust and unnecessary tsxes should con-
spire to break dOEn the governor. They
have rot succeeded. Where ODs thiei
has bolted the party, two honest Rspuo-
Hcans have stepped in TO tilI the vacant
place. The feeling throughout the
Union Of respect and admiration Tor
Governor Tilden fer the ba tie he Iil-s
wsged against corruption and for reform
in government, is exhibited by the fO!-
lowing extract from the San FRANCISCO
Call, q Republican journal:
Thousands Of Republicans would
vote for TIlden as opposed to almost any
other prominent Republican sFDiraDt
than BristoW, ard Democrats all over
the country would vote for BrlstoW
should their own party nominate man
less distinctively associated with tbe
work Of reform. The great mass Of IN
dependent voters would vote tOS eitnef
Of these candidates should but orc ne
paced in nomination"
And also by this extract from the Lead
ing Republican journal Of the Wsst, the
Chicago Tribune:
"The probable nomination OF Ilideu
at 81. Louis is, therefore, Of such impor-
tsuce to the Republican party that 1t
should be accepted as portenious warn
ing against the nomination or any cad
didate who expects to be elected by mere
party machinery"
Aid also by this extract from the
same able jgurnsl:
"Aa goes New York, this time, 50
goes the Union. No Republican caudi-
date tainted with the association Of tbs
corrupt elements of the Republican
party in the remotest degree cEn carry
New York as against Hlden, or Thur
man, or Davis, If The Democrats nOHi-
nate either one of them, and probably
not as against Bsyard, Of Delaware, or
IngeIsOIl, Of Connecticut, if Dsmo-
cratic compromise fslts upon either OF
them"
