From the CSHcfnnafS q EssQusver.1
e There are a few facts concerning Sam
Tilden which we trnst will sink into she
minds Of Western and Southern Democrats !:
8 /. He can not carry his own State III No
vember.
80. He can not carry any Northern State.
IS. He Is a hgpocrits, q political seindisr,
has long been a public pJugderdr, and ia really
Tie only disreputabic candidate prominently
named on the Democratic side.
"5. Ho has sought this high Office by Meth
DDS SO imp cccdsntediy Shameless and disrep-
ufable that 1t would ba an everlasting stigma
him, and A REPRoACu UPON THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE TO ELECT HIM If NOMINATED"
"Should Gods providence, seeming cs-
tranged. permit his nomination, by whom and
what would he be nominated BY the SER
vile, constituencies tools that money can pur-
chase by the most corrupt influences that
ever entered into Presidential nomination
by the system upon which all other quack
medicines are acknowledgements even re-
spectacle medical associations read out of the
profession doctors that will advertise. It
would seem that the Democratic party should
have as nigh respect for the good name of
the party and the Government as the vendors
of pills have for their craft. II could not but
be that a man educated an cunning, hypocrisy,
and iniquity, nominated IN corruption and
shameless efrontery, eucn though his millions
could elect him, could gire as the most corrupt
administration tho country has eoer k,so,oa -
Neither imperial dignities nor the gloom Of
solitude, says Tacitus, could save Tiberius
from himself, and TiIden could not rise above
himself, or above the sources Of his power"
There are many reasons why Gov. Tilden
should not be nominated, and why, If nomi-
mated, lie will be defeated. He has been too
closely identified, socially and politically and
legally--we will not say tinaneially--with the
Tweed regime of New York. When Tweed
escaped from the custody of the Sheriff Of
New York, many months ago. the Boss was
not only pcni.entary convict, who had not
fulfilled one-fifth of his term, but was being
tried on civil suit to recover 80. 900, 0J0--but
portion of the amount he had stolen from
the city. There was every likelihood Of max
ing Tweed disgorge, but the Sherif's officers
were brbed. no doubt, and the Boss went ON
his way rejoicing Tilden, the next day, with
u flourish of trumpets declared that the Sher-
lift, who was under bonds, WAS liable for
Tweed's escape, and Furthermore, to pay ov-
or to the city $3, 00V, 900 for which Tweed was
held, and which suit, rs n matter of course,
must go by default. Nearly ten months have

The sheriff of New York [Conner1 still holds
his post and his bail-bond and property, and
all effort to capture and bring back the Boss
has been abandoned. The people Of New York
City hold rilden responsible for retaining in
Office sheriff who let's fly the great thieves
of the ring who nearly bankrupted the city. -
Another objection 10 'rilden is his aristocrsstic
proclivities. The commop people of New
York do not like him. His money helped
elect him two years ago. He is a bachelor,
with an ample fortune of four or five millions
and spent 1t freely, or let his friends spend it
freely for him, in the campaign Of 1874. Un-
til his election for Governor he was hardly
known outside of New York. Tildcn and
his friends bamboozled the poor working me
of New York by telling them they could have
plenty of work at good wages, il they would
vote for him for Governor. They did so. To-.
day there are more idle men in New York
City than when Dix was Governor. Besides,
wages have been cut down.
