The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1876-07-06

Inc Clncinnttl Enquirer said, lew
days ago:
The banking and bond-holding ele-
ments Of the Democratic party are all on
hand there to stifle the voice of the peo-
Pile
The same paper said:
The nomination Of Tilden at st. Louis
would mean the shameful and cowardly |
of the Western States TO /
the Republican party. In such event /
Democratic newspapers in this section /
would have an easy time of it.
Again the Enquirer tells who Mr.. Til |
den's friends are:
There is every reason to expect that
William NJ Tweed, once Of New York,
late Of the Blackwell's Island Peniten-
tiary, and later Of God only -knows-where,
will support Samuel J. Tilden's nomina-
tion at st. LOUIS Mr.. Tweed has means
and can well afford to spend portion Of
that S6.OOO.0O0 he nipped from the New
York taxpayers in the canvass for Uncle
Sammy. He is under obligations TO Til
den for the reason that the Governor has
not made any effort to bring him to jus
tice, and has permitted the Sheriff OF
New York to retain his office after allow
ing the greatest rogue Of the century to
60 scot free. Had Governor Tilden been
disposed, he could have had Tweed Gagged
long ago"
Brick Pomeroy says:
We believe Tilden to be heartless, sci
fish dishonest. trcacherous, and all unfit
for the position his money backing is
crowding him toward, but which he will
not reach We do not wish to see him
President, any more than we do the
more unfortunate members of the gang
he betrayed when he could not be safely
with it longer. We believe what we be-
lieve Just as much as God believes what
He believes, and will lose every subscri-
Der we have before we will dishonor our
conviction of right or advise one man to
vote to elevate to power a man we know
will prove false to every trust, and who
will seek not the good Of the people but
to enrich his agents and lead the people
further into the depths of panics and
slavery to the money power, whose tools
are legion.
The Evansville (Ind) Courier says
We shall retract nothing we have said
concerning Tilden. We should not sup
port him if he were nominated by accla-
nation. The Courier is a greenback pa
per. 1t believes in measures more than
il does in men. If the St. Louis Conven-
tion nominates a candidate on a green
back platform that candidate must carry
out the greenback policy or stand before
the country in the attitude Of a dishon-
ored man Tilden coJfd not be trusted
to carry out the greenback policy. He
opposed Allen last October because OF
the position Of that lifelong Democrat
on the finance question. As he bolted
the Ohio nomination of his party, so he
will find that the Western Democracy
will repudiate him, should the spirit Of
Satan take possession Of the Convention
and name him as the Democratic nomi-
nee for President.
Cincinnati Enquirer, June 5, lS7G.l
A private letter just received from
New York, from a gentleman OF fairness
and intelligence says: 81 had q good
opinion Of Tilden until ! came among
those that know him. but | find they all
agree that his show of reform is hum
bug" The recent Albany Conference is
corroborative of all this testimony. The
controlling politicians, as well as the
masses of the people in the Democratic
party in New York, who can draw a di-
viding line between an honest man and
a Bengal tiger or hypocrite. are alike
well aware that Tilden can not carry his
own State, should he by the wrath OF
God, be nominated for the Presidency.
If there are potent reasons why the
Democracy of Tilden's own State are op.
posed to his nomination, there are more,
and greater reasons, why the Democracy
of the West and the South should be in.
telligent and honorable enough to resist
his brides. and defeat his nomination.
We do not apprehend his nomination,
but we are not insensible to the power OF
money and management. There are a
few facts concerning Sam. Tilden, which,
we trust will sink into the minds OF
Western and Southern Democrats.
/. He can not carry his own State in
November
2. He can not carry any Northern
State
3. He is hypocrite, political swind-
Ter, has long been a public plunderer.
and is really the only disreputable can
didate prominently named on the Demo
cratic side.
4. He did what he could to defeat the
Democratic party of Ohio in 1875, ex-
pending his money, and subsidizing the
knowing that Ohio's victory was his de-
feat, and loving Tilden more than the
Democratic party. He has earned the
5. He has sought this high office by
methods so unprecedentedly shameless
and disreputable that il would be an
everlasting stigma upon a Democratic
Convention to nominate him, and q re-
proach upon the American people to
elect him if nominated.
9. Upon the foremost question Of the
hour he is a most pitiless foe Of the in
terests of the West and the South. He
is the unscrupulous oppressor of the
great, struggling industries of the vast
producing sections of the country. No
Republican Administration could be
more hostile TO them than would his.
Z. Should Gods Providence, seeming
estranged," permit his nomination, by
whom and what would he be nominated ?
By the servile, conscienceless tools that
money can purchase; by the most cor
rupt influences that ever entered into a
Presidential nomination; by the system
on which all other quack medicines are

ty should have as high a respect for the
good name of the party and the Govern

in iniquity, nominated in corruption,
and shameless effrontery, even though
his millions could elect him. would give

rise above himself, or above the sources
of his power

The political jobbers, thieves, and be-
trayers of the people are very generally
in favor of Tilden.
