Mr.. Tilden is a good, oll-iashioned States
right Democrat Of the John c. Calhoun
stripe; and tie Presidency cannot tempt
him to flrswear his faith. Ard that is why
the people ike him and why they viii vote

cred in Brooklyn
How easy it is to cry ''reiorm :" From
the open doors Of all the gin shors in the
city comes the cry Of reform - From the
thToats Of hundreds of drunkards comes the
cry Of "Tnden and reform J" From John
gambling saloon, amid the
clinking Of the chips and the rattle Of the
dice, comes the cry of'Tilden and reform
From the men who tried to pull down our
1ig comes the cry Of reform '' From the
men who tried to starye our fathers and
brothers IN the dead line of Andersonyille.
comes the cry Of reform ~ From the
Tweed rirg comes the cry Of reform -
From the patriots who crowd the ye>tibulc
of the city hall comes the cry Of "reform -
From the bummers who loaf on Grow
Murray corner comes the cry OF reform ="
That is the catch-word of the Democratic
party, and those are the men who were to
30 it. Their object is to reform every
honest man out Of Office and thieves INTO
Office.
