The letters OF acceptance Of Tilden
and Hendricks have finally APP
pcared. They are lengthy docu-
mcnts, too lengthy for publication,
and as was expected, they either
dodge tho issues entirely or are two
faced. Tilden's letter, especially. is
cunningiy worded, and means any
thing or nothing, as the reader
wishes. The effusions OF the Demo
cratic candidates bear no comparison
