Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1876-10-06
THE LYING "THMES..

the New York Times. Tens of thou
sands of copies are issued daily for
circulation, and no pains or expense
are spared by the Republican commit
tees in scattering them broadcast
throughout the country, that they may
be read by all. 1t is the acknowl-
edged campaign organ of the present
dominant party, and the work which
was assigned it at the commencement
of the presidential contest has been ex-
ecuted faithfully, If not we'll. There is
no lie too monstrous or statement too
malicious or malignant for it to use in
assailing the person and political char
acter Of Governor Tilden, who, but a
short time previous to his candidacy
for the Chief Magistracy of the nation,
was designated by tie journal referred
to as IAN honest and heightened Dem
ocrat,' and "A gallant, Conscientious
and efficient fee to corruption" Its
columns were filled with paragraphs
IN his praise for the work of reforma-
ton he had effected in exposing the
corruption and villainy which had
so long characterized the management
of the municipal affairs of the
city of New York, and for his
more than herculean labor in the
successful accomplishment of the task
Of hurting from their places of power
the horde of miscreants. most of them
of his own party. who had so long
p'undered the people of the city and
Site, and brought uponthe former a
dsplorable condition of financial af-
fairs probably unparalleled in the his.
tory of any city in the world. Although
1t appears almost incredible, it is never.
theless true that the journal which is
now denouncing him as "a sham re
former" a "Perjurer and thief" is
edited and controlled by the am par
ii IS As when it lavished upon him, al
most daily, columns of panegyricai
notices, and b~eslobbered him with ar
ticles replete with the most :ulsome
praise. When it is remembered that
these acts, which he is charged with
committing, if committed at all, are of
prior date to the time when he was the
object OF such adulatory notices from
the Times, it becomes apparent that
the controllers of that journal either
were not then or are not now sincere;
and in proof that its present villifica-
ton of the Democratic presidential
nominee as a part of a system Of tao
tics agreed upon by the infamous class
of politicians which are managing the
Republican side of the campaign fight,
we publish the subjoined letter, re.
Gently published in the Albany Argus,
from a prominent citizen of Hins lale,
Gait ,raugus county, n. Y. 1t is dated
August 30th, and the allegations con
tanned therein have not yet been de
MED by Mr.. Ferrin, the editor of the
Republican. The letter reads as FOL-
lows:
To the Editor of the Argus: The
NOW lOEh xtHtCo 10 ttIdhtuS itSoil uO-
torious Just now by its malignant
abuse of the man for whom. no very
long time ago, it had only words of
com mendatiOn. Why it is now so in
consistent will appear from an incident
to which l am nov able to call your
attention. A short time before the
Democratic convention met at st.
Louis, Hudson Ainsley, Esq, attorney
at. law in Salamanca, Cattaraugus
county, had a conversation with A. w.
Ferrin, editor of the Cattaraugus Re.
publican. The title of the paper shows
the political color of TIE editor. On
that occasion Ferrin said: 81 suppose
from all indication Gov. Tilden will be-
nominated for the Presidency at st.
Louis. / am induced to think he is
the strongest man that could be chosen.
But we shall do our best to beat him.
It Is already arranged that the New
York Times is to Ja6ricate false state
ments regarding the personal and po-
litical character of Governor Tilden.
and the Republican country papers are
to republish them" This may seem
extraordinary, but the fact can he sub
stantiated. 1t has already been pub
Iicly asserted by Mr.. Ainsley, and, as
far As l know, it has not been contra
dicted.
Amos Dakin, the editor of a promi-
nent Republican paper, acknowledges
that a cold. blooded scheme was formed
to blacken the character of Governor
Tilden by false charges-that being the
only possible means they have OF
counteracting the effect of his we'll
earned reputation as a reformer. All
parties to the arrangements are fulfill
ing their covenants with the greatest
zeal that was ever exhibited in a bad
cause. But it will avail them nothing.
Governor Tilden's record is too we'll
known, and his reputation too fully
established to admit of their being af-
fected by the bare-faced assertions o.
such @ journal as the Times. echoed
they are by the entire crew OF
liars which disgrace the Republican
press.
