NEW YORK, August 5.-The Tribune
In its leader says OF the letters OF ao-
ceptance of Tilden and Hendricks:
ITO say there is nothing in either Of
them, taken separately, or In both of
them together, to\ account for the
length Of time IL has taken to prepare
them, Is but to anticipate the judge
ment OF the reader Neither OF the
candidates have contributed anything
especially new to the political situa-
ton, or thrown any new light upon
issues already defined" The same
paper, in another editorial, reviewing
the letters, says of Mr.. Hendricks let
ter, at is hardly necessary to say
more than that it is a very bitter, mar
row, offensive, partisan document"
The Herald says, "rhe letters are
discreet and able documents. If Til
denis friends can inspire the country
with the belief IN his power to carry
out his pledges, without any prejudice
to the achievements of the war, the
desire for " change Is 80 wide spread
that his canvass may be gaining one,
but it, on the other hand, il is feared
that the end will be the releasing of II
Niagara, then not all the genius and
skill Of letter of acceptance will
overthrow the strongly seated power
Of eRpublicanism."
The Times thus concludes an article.
Nothing could more forcibly Illustrate
the harrenness, the enormity and un.
born craftlness of Mr.. Tilden than the
shuilling and delay which have attend
ed the ushering into the world OF the
abridgement of his January's message.
II is absurd to think that men OF cult
waited intelligence can be the victims
OF such u chieftain rs Mr.. Tilden shows
himself to be by his argument of ques-
tions, 30 vital, that on the right solu'
ton of them, the continued exist
ence of our government in
its present form, depends"
The Sun writes of Governor Tilden's
letter of accep ance, ut is the strong
est, clearest, ablest, most statesman
like, most suggestive and most salts
factory political document that has
been laid before the public within a
long period OF time. Governor Hend-
rick's letter sustains the principal posi-
lions of Tilden, and leads us to believe
they are thoroughly in cooperation on
all the great measures of public policy
now before the country"
The World says, "rhese letters prove
that the statesmen who have been Sc
lected to give the doctrines of the St
Louis convention effect, understand
themselves thoroughly, agree witt
each other and with the party thor
oughly, and when sent, rs they will bt
sent, to Washington by the votes o.
the American people in November
next, to do that great work, they will
do it Thoroughly"
NEW YORK, August 5.-'rhe Even
ing Post says, Governor Tilden's let
ter of acceptance, is an ample ant
careful document, showing that famili
arity with his subject which comes o
patient study and large experience
The ends which Governor Tllden keep
In view, will occur npon the means by
which he proposes to secure those ends
The country has been studying the
Democratic party since the politica
revolution in the States in 1874, which
put it partly into power. The cours
OF the party has not been such as +,
encourage any more faith in ii, thar
the country has had for the last.sxteeI
wears. 1t Is doubtful whether Govern
or Hendricks In attempting to satisf,
both hard and soft money men, ha
satisfied either. His letter avOws
hearty desire to return to specie pay
ments. The soft money men If the,
are honest II BY can't be satisfied will
this, 1t favors ~ unconstitutional re
peal of resumption and asks hard
money men to be satisfied with II
Governor Hendricks is opposed to arti
. fetal measures fol contraction Of cur
rency, hut Governor Tilden in his let
ter seems inclined u contraction. Gov
ernor Hendricks views of civil service
are just, but we ma doubt whether
: the Democrats will do THAT Governo
. Hendricks has advised them to dc
| but the advice is not the less sound TO
Y that reason"
