No surprise need be felt at the abuse
and slander which the owner of Mr..
Hayes are heaping up against the good
name and unblemished life of Gov.
| Tilden.-Om0Ad Herald.
We need. no Republican authority
to prove Mr.. Tilden not only a corrupt
politician but a dishonest man. We
have plenty of Democratic authority.
August Belmont come forward and
testify. Mr.. Belmont says:
II think he (Tilden) cannot carry
New York. Those who claim that he
is unassailable do not know him, or,
if they do, then they are quite as dis
honest as he is. He has been counsel
for all the broken down corporations
with which New York has been af-
t1icted for a long term of years, and
out of them he has not come with
clean hands"
Mr.. Belmont Is now and has been
for many years leading New York
Democrat. Will the Herald say Mr..
Belmont is not reliable witness?
Well, here's another-the Cincin-
natl En0uirer-Bourbon all over, or
thodox to the backbone. That pa
per says:
Tilden's surrounding are bad. If
elected, he would take to the White
House the worst set Of political job
bers and thieves ever seen in Wash
ington, and that is saying agood deal.
1t could not but be that a man edu-
Gated in cunning, in hypocrisy, In in
iquity, nominated in corruption and
shameless efirontery, even though his
millions could elect him, would give
US the most corrupt administration
the country has ever known.
General Steadman, of Ohio, who was
delegate in the st. Louis Conven-
ton that nominated Mr.. Tildea, said
of him:
Under no circumstances that could
be imagined would we accept Tilden.
If Tilden should unfortunately re-
ceive the nomination, Hayes would
beat him In Ohio by go, 600 or 1000
majority, and Indiana he would beat
him by 20, ,0C0 or %, 600. If any other
man that has been named should be
nominated on platform declaring in
favor of the immediate repeal of the
Resumption act, we can carry Ohio
by .O'J majority. We would not
even accept Tilden on a platform with
that plank in it, because the man and
the platform aVoull neutra,i5e each
other.
Gen. John NJ. Palmer, another Dem
ocrat-a leader in that party in Illi-
nois, said of Tilden:
am confident that Tilden cannot
carry any Of the October elections,
and do not see how Democra can af-
ford to lose Ohio snd Indiana. Gov.
Tilden would be an Objectionable cam
didate on several grounds, among
others his record in the Chicago Con-
vention of 1864. / do not believe the
Democrats could elect any man who
was identified with the promulgation
of the idea that the war was failure.
The young men Of the country could
not be induced to support such a can
didste or such a platform.
This Is all good Democratic author
ity- These men and papers are all
noted Democratic leaders. The utter
ances above were the true sentiments
of their hearts before Tilden was nom-
mated. Mr.. Belmont, an old citizen
of New York, Intimately acquainted
with Tilden, having acted with him
in many a political cam mpaignt, knows
whereof he speaks when he says Til
den is dishonest; that she has been
counsel for all the broken down cor
porations with which New York has
been afflicted for term of years."
and that "out Of them he has not come
acith clean hdudS." I'VE need no Re-
publican witnesses to show most con-
