Governor Tilden's letter Is too long
and its rhetoric is too strained to enabll
any one intelligently to Judge of th
Governors meaning. The egotism i,
simply ridiculous. To quote from hi
own old speeches and state papers re
veals unmistakably the egotism of th
man.-Rochester Democrat.

Tilden's letter are utterly barren of a
idea which can give comfort, promise, o
new direction to the purposes of mel
who honestly desire that the government
shall fulfill its promises and place tn,
business of the country once more upol
a safe and fixed basis.-Philadelphit
Bulletin.
Words are sometimes said to be uset
to conceal meaning, and Mr.. Tilden evi
IDENTIFY understands this art. He follow
the example of the st. Louis platform
and INDUCES in general and furious
denunciation of Republican principles
policy and administration. But he fail
to present anything he proposes to sub
stitute, except Samuel Jones Tilden.-

The letters certainly smell strongly oil

elaborated and patched and polished &C
as to say something adapted to each o.
the various homogeneous elements of the
party, and to say nothing offensive to
any. As result, there is an utter lac

The New York World says: Upon
all other points of the st. Louis platform
these letters prove that the statesmen,
who have been selected to give its doc

thoroughly agree with each other and
with the party thoroughly, and when

The N. Y. Tribune, in leader, says of
the letters Of acceptance of Tilden and
Hendricks: To say there is nothing in
either of them taken separately, in both
of them together. to account for the
length of time it ha. taken to prepare
them is but to anticipate the judgment
OF the reader. Neither Of the candidates
have contributed anything specially new
to the political situation, or thrown any
new light upon the issues already de-
fined. e>ff -.
The n. Y. San writes: Gov. Tilden's
letter of acceptance is the strongest,
ablest, mast statesmanlike, most
suggestive and most satisfactory political
document that has been laid before the
public within long period of time.
CIV. Hendricks letter sustains the
principal positions of Gov. Tilden, and
leads us to believe that they are thor
nLghly in cooperation respecting all of
the great measures Of public policy now
before the country.
Governor Tilden has completed his
letter formally accepting the St. Louis
and given it to the country.
And now, so far as the Democratic can
