Here Ne have the recognized organ Of

credit OF having sent Tweed 70 jail. sak.
ing In all seriousness what do Ne want
Of Tvsedl In the name Of heaven.
What DO We want Of any criminal Who
has escaped from . Democratic jail.
through the oonnivanes Of . Democratic
Sheriff, We want him that justice may
b satisnsd. and that IL may not Be- aid
that here in America petty larceny
thieves are sent TO prison. while men
Who steal millions can purchase thsir
liberty from corrupt Democratic ofieials.
That 10 Why We want Tsssd.
There are two reasons Why the New
York Sun does not want Tweed returned.
The nrst relates entirely TO the Sun
itself. and il this: When Tweed vss
on trial. no deemed II necessary TO
secure all the influence Of the press
possible. The price Of the Ssa. not for
defending him. for that would have
been too bsrs-faesd. but for maintaining
silence. vas Me sugassasns ~ Tweed
Of W. o. Bartlett. the attorney Of that
paper. and one Of its stoekheldsn -
counsel. Mr.. Bartlett was retained q Q
large fee. and the Sua kept its promise.
Il 10 only natural that IL should now
object to the sztradition OF the worthy
client Of its worthy attorney.
The second reason 10 like unto the
nnt. II Mr.. Tweed returns in safety.
he will prove . thorn in the side Of
samuel J. Tilden. "ft 10 said that
Tweed will tell great secrets on his ar.
rival. OF what value are thsss sscrstsi"
OF . great deal Of value. They will not
Be pleasing to the Sun. to b sure. for
they will probably reflect upon Samuel
J. Tilden. That worthy organ Of ere
form is pledged not to say anything
against Tweed : and yet u the latter i'm
plieatss Tildsu In the Tsmmany frauds.
IL 10 bound TO defend him. II will b.
. dilemma from which sven the esnius
Of Charles A. Dana will And 10 dinicult
to sltrieats his Sun. 10 he dsnounoss
Tweed a, . liar. that veteran thief viii
4. II
tell to the world his bargain with the
Sm ; and be has the papers TO prove
his story. Dana will be in . bed dx
the Ssm will be in . bal III. and the In
fiuencs Of the only powerful journal In
New York which supports Tildsn will
be ruined.
And these are the reasons Why Chas.
A. Dana wishes Tweed to b left "s
voluntary o~utcast. and . vandsrsr on
tho face Of the earth" Marx them
we'll.
