THE TIDAL WAVE AaAmsr TIInHn.


THE TIDAL WAVE AGAINST T1LDRI.
It has come, the power Of business mel
against Tilden in the strongholds of De
mocracy. The only hope of Democratic
success has been placed on the possibility
Of carrying New York city for the Democ
racy by fraud and corruption, Is it ha.
been carried in other days by Tweed and
Tilden. The plan is to make the majority
in the city 80 large IS to overwhelm the
honest vote of the rural districts and SO.
cure the State electoral vote for Tilden.
The prospects have been good enough ia
affect the pool-room barometer Of Morris.
sey's gambling house. Now the tide has
turned, and the bankers, capitalists and
merchants of New York city think of the
possibility of Tilden's election with alarm.
The opinions of financial men, as such,
are cool, calculating and merciless. Senti-
ment has no bankers account. The stabili-
ty Of the government depends upon its
credit at home and abroad. The man OF
money looks over and beyond the con-
fines of Tilden ward club. The memo
rial addressed to Mr.. Evarts asking for q
public expression Of his opinion at this
crisis, expresses the fear that tho election
of Tilden would be regarded here and in
Europe as q reversal of the verdict OF the
war. The memorial asking William NJ.
Evarts to speak for Hayes and Wheeler is
signed by the millionaires of New York.
such as Aston, Stuart, Sloan, Morton,
Dodge. Jay, Leonard, Jerome and others,
by the officers OF national banks and by
twenty bank presidents, and by more than
fifty men representing the largest bust
ness firms in the city. These men say,
not as politicians, but as shrewd business
men, that so radical change in the pol
icy of the. government referring to the
of the election of Til
den, would not only impair our
credit at homo and
abroad, and postpone indefinitely the re-
Of specie payment but would
sndanger the future peace and prosperity
IF the country. The opinions of those
men can not be disregarded. They are
worth more than the opinions of selfish
Democratic ofice-seekers, and more than
he mob following Tilden's barrel in New
York city. The Associated Press agent in
Sew York, whose hand is evidently near
he barrel, never fails to send us Tilden's
etters of defense directed to Hewitt, and |
lever fails to forward the opinions of |
Iorrissey and the verdict of the gamblers
egularly; but he had nothing to say |
# the bankers petition, and nothing |
o say Of the subsequent grand
Meeting addressed by Mr.. Evarts.
Dur special dispatch says that the
Meeting took place at Cooper Institute
n Wednesday evening, and that seven
? bank presidents and millionaires,

capitalists are the men who came to the
