nomination for governor in 1874. We
now reproduce few concentrations
from the Republican journals outside
Of the State, as published at the same
time, after the nomination in 1874:
Tildcn is an unden iably able man.
--[Pittsburg Dispatch (Rep.)
Mr.. Tilden is an honest reformer,
and was very efficient in the war on
the Tweed ring.-[Louisville Com.
mercial, (Rep.)
The Democratic convention has Sc
lected strong man as it, candidate for
governor in Samuel J. Tilden.- De
troit Tribune (Rep.)
Mr.. Samuel ]. Tilden, who was
nominated by the Democrats of New
York as their candidate for governor,
is one Of the ablest and most respccta-
BILE men Of the party Boston Globe
tRep.)
In nominating Samuel J. 1ilden for
governor, the New York Democracy
have put their best foot foremost, and
If any man is to beat Gen. Dix we
would rather il would be Tilden than
any other Cleveland Herald (Rep)
Mr.. Tilden was the foremost of the
Democrats who joined in the success
ful movement that overthrow the
Tammany ring, and his honorable
conduct in promoting that vital re-
form will probably cost him votes in
the city of New York. II Litch6eld
Conn Enquirer (Rep.)
Mr.. Tildcn has made himself quite
popular in the rural districts by the
active part he took in exposing the
Tammany frauds and securing the
prosecution and punishment ofTweed.
He was also energetic and earnest in
the prosecution of the corrupt judges.
-[IIartford Courant (ReP.)
Mr.. Tilden is, without doubt. the
most conspicuous and capable Of the
workers in exposing the ring frauds,
and stands well; while Gen. Dix has
injured himself not little by treating
lightly the glaring official iucompeten-
cy and abuses Of Mayor Havemeyer.
-[st Louis Globe (Rep)
In preseaiihg a;he name Of Samuel
j. Tilden, the opposition have I'M
doubtedly nominated the very best
man they could have nominated. He
Is gentleman-a man of ability-de-
voted 10 the interests of his party; a
firm believer in its principles and tra-
ditions. Il National Washington Re
publican (Rep.)
Mr.. Tilden, the candidate for gov
ernor, is well known, and, we judge,
well known for politician. So far
ms his public record is concerned, we
think il an honorable one. He show
ell himself an independent man in fer
reting out the Tweed corruptions.-
Northern Christian Advocate, organ
Of the Methodists.
Mr.. Tilden is one Of the most up
right and able of his party, and has
for many years occupied leading pO-
sition in il without aspiring to politi-
cal honors. An accomplished lawyer
and man OF profound intelligence, as
well as of high moral character, Mr..
Tilden would fill the gubernatorial
chair with honor and dignity. \
Fully equal to Gen. Dix in brain
force, and greatly superior to him as
lawyer, he is much superior in many
of the qualifications which are requis-
ite to make up a great statesman.-I
Boston Traveller (Rep.)
Now, we respectfully submit to the
intelligent and fair-minded Republi-
can reader, whether, in his perform
ance Of the duties of governor of the
State Of New York for the past wear
and a hall, Samuel j. Tilden has, or
has not, in able, honest and eeonomi-
cal administration, met the fullest ex-
pectation OF all the people and proved
himself a model executives All sorts
of charges are made that in doing
what he has done. he has been ambi-
tious Of the presidency IL so. We
answer il is laudable ambition; and
great is the pity, If like cause will
produce like effect, that every COVER
nor of this State and every governor
of every other State had not long
since been fired by such ambition IL
is alleged that. in striking at abuses
and applying eorreetives that have re-
duced taxation in this State from sl6,-
600, 600 to 81, 900. 900 a year, somebo-
dy has got hurt. If so, we are sorry;
but the hurt is the misfortune OF 9TH
ers, and not the fault of Gov. Tilden.
1t is hurled at Gov. Tilden by Repub-
lican prints OF short memories that he
was politically associated with Tweed
in 1870. They forget that Tweed.
though suspected of fraud at that
time, had not been exposed, and was
