al and constabulary authority to put
down plunderers Of the State and
plundcrers Of cities. We soon found
that instead Of sending public rob.
bers to State-prison, Tilden was in
viting them to his dinner table, and
tina. instead Of preparing : place for
them in Sing Sing, he was making it
comfortable for them 1t ST. Louis.
We were convinced of Tilden's in
fidelity months ago, bu. the evidence
was not sufficiently plain to the pub
lie to authorize us in it's use. In the
month OF May, 1875, it became well
known that Tilden had joined hands
with all the rogues whom he could
induce to join his standard. to secure
tho presidential nomination for him
self, in exchange for the United
States Treasury, Custom Houses, and
personal immunity to them. Stimuli
taneous with these outcroppings came
the efforts to suborn newspapers
Thus leading Democratic papers, like
the Cincinnati Enqirer, Neo Hare's
Union, Nep York Erpress, Mem
phis Acdldnche, AUGUSTA Constitu-
Gondhs,, and Ne,c York Herald, be-
gan to publish accounts Of Tilden's
career. We read, inquired, searched
legal records, and compiled the facts
herein set forth. 1t took us over one
year to become satisfied of the insin-
cerity, hypocracy, and dangerous
character of this man. We had been
imposed upon by his "reform" by
play. Why he finally turned against
Twced's gang is herein shown. We
are not surprised that the great pub
lie have equally been deceived, and
that many of the people of the coup-
try still believe that Tilden means re-
form, and, if elected, would bring
about the change which all so much
desire.
The facts are now out. All may
see them. 1t will require but thirty
days fair presentation Of them to
produce . tidal wave against this
trickster and inposter, compared with
which the one against "Cnsarism" in
1874 was but ripple, but gentle
zephyr. Whoever reads the disclos-
urcs in this days Argus-and they
will read by four hundred thousand
voters in oil the States-will be con-
vinced that Samuel J. Tilden is one
OF the men who has ever been lifted
into public notoriety. The intelli.
gcnce and sincerity OF the American
people are on trial. Claiming that
principle and not partisan prejudice
should guide them, il, after knowing
the history Of this arch-impossor, dem
agogue, and despot, they shall show
that majority Of them disregard
the warning Of such facts as are here
presented, it will teach rejecting
men that the star Of American liberty
is soon to set in the sea Of despo.ism
and anarchy. Tilden has made the
record, not We. Read, ponder, act
If the people shall do as we have
done, conquer their prejudices in ia
vor of principle, the danger will
be averted and imposture be rebuk-
ed.
Many Republicans Of this State
appear to think that because the Ar-
gus opposes the election of Tilden, it
will support the Republican nominee
for governor. They have no reason
for such an expectation. The Argus
is not opposing the Democratic par
ty; it is opposing an insincere sham
and government swindler in the par
ty. We are doing just what Tilden
pretended to do when he fought
Tweed. We are opposing a corrupt
man. We believe with Gov. Sey-
mour that the final restoration or
fraternal feeling Of this country must
come through the Democratic psrty;
but we also believe that it would be
the end of the par,y's power for good
should it mis,akingly elevate such
man as Tilden is 10 the head of the
nation. Tilden has proven himself to
be vensl despot. We had better
bear those ills we have, than to in
vite worse ones.-Brookiyn Argus.
