Yonr name was used. without puohc
protest on your part in circulars sowed
broadcas' over the State, whereof the
manifest intent WAS To "make assurance
doubly snre" that the frauds here perpe-
rated should net be overborne by the
homes, vote II the rural district. And
YOU, not mer',ly by silence, but by posi-
tive assumption, have covered those
T. uiS with the mantle Of our respecta-
bit,Y.
VA the principle that"the receiver is as
la as the thief, YOU are as deeply
Implicated in them to-day As though your

There was nothing but time needed 10

Now, Mr.. Tilden, call on you to put
a stop 10 this business. You have Tut To

1. Sir. Tweed, or any OF his company
shake his Old associates, and cry reform
would we not look with some doubt
upon his pretentou,? Sill that is Just
the position Of Gov. TildS1. As The
Democratic organ of this County put ii
less than year ago, Mr.. Tlden was
close,ed with Tweed u Co., until he
found they were about TO fall, and then
deserted them. rs rats desert sinking
ship. That was before lie had secured
The Democratic nomination, however
Now. we suppose. it would say he lett
them 10 be reformer ard with reform
els stand.
Bat Horace Greeley was not alone in
his li,;rust Of Mr.. Tilden Many true
men OF the Democratic party are daily
expressing their feelings concerning his
connection with corrupt rings and rail-
road i,bs.
Gov. Tilden never prosecuted the
Sheriff who allowed Tweed to escape.
Probably no act during the past ten years
has created more intense feeling through
on. the country than the escape OF
Tweed. there is no doubt that he was
liberated by bgibing bis keepers. Tc-
day tha, sheriff is shouting for Reform
and TNdeu. II Mr.. Tilden had been as
Great q reiormer as the most ordinary o!
our Characterization or Democrat
he would have prosecuted the said sher-
n. and caused him to feel the full penal
" attached to such acts rs the one he
had committed.
Nothing has been proved against MIR.
TilLen in relation to railroad matters
but there Is general belief ahoa. that
hc has been engaged in transactions
which will not bear examination. How
ever, no mau should be condemned on
rumors. But As we view his connection
with Tammany ring. his wholesale par
dous 10 ring thieves and his inactivity
in the prosecution OF the mos, prominent
rascals connected with the villany known
as Tive, dism," does it not seem little
cheeky 10 ask US to support GOV. Tiiden
as a "Relormer?' Instead OF biushing
because opposed to Gov. Ti'deu, men
should blush to mention his name in
connection with reform.
To have shouted reform and honesty
with Horace Greeley Tor standard
bearer would have been consistent, but
these words are alien to men who have
been connected with Tammany ring aud
the pa!my days Of Democratic power in
New York city.
