The Other Side.

the presumptlve ''Cymro claim tnaC
his facts were too "big' for me. 1t
is rather amusing, too, since he has
declined to debate the issues of the
present political campaign in public.
But "Cymro" prefers to hide himself
in the sanctum of an editor. I do
not wish to be confined to limits so
contracted, and when we intrude on
space that might be used by ADLER es-
sayists.
"Cymros" facts are not "too big"
We have noticed no facts )" simply
bare assertions, without proof as to
dates, or places; they need no great
amount of study to rebut with over
whelming proof His assertions that
Tilden and Hendricks were disloyal
is a base fabrication of falsehoods.
Mr.. Tilden raised regiment of vol
unteers in New York City to defend
that flag branded by Greeley, Garris-
son and Phillips, as a Haunting lie"
"Can Hayes and Wheeler carry
sins of other men on their backs ?"
Well, yes, we can prove they have
espoused and endorsed all the crimes
and frauds of Grantism, Fitzpatrick,
Shepherd and Chandler included.
Nothing personal against Hayes
and Wheeler" Stop, Mr.. c., and
read nv last article over, and then
read what follows:
Rev. Mr.. Harper, Chaplain of the 23d
Ohio Volunteers, has asserted on his honor
that Gov. Hayes appropriated to his own
use tour hundred dollars that belonged to
a soldier executed in w. Va, for desertion.
| And John Beck's books show that Gov
| Hayes listed and swore to the amount of
taxable property, to Beck as assessor, of
Sandusky county, Ohio, at little less than
ten thousand dollars for three successive
years, when it was known that his uncle
had left him by will fortune of over a
| quarter of million"
This is perjury, is it not? The
charges under the head of che stands
convicted" are as false as Hades it.
self. For proof take your own be-
loved N. Y Times of the years 1871
and 1874 and read it's laudatory ed
itorials of Gov. Tilden, Seymour, Ev-
arts and Kerran. Mr.. Tilden never
was in league with the rings, but the
N. Y. Times was ring paper as
long as the ring paid it. That is the
way the Times got possession of it's
facts. It (the 7Smes) does not own
itself, but is for sale to the highest
bidder. The "unblushing hypocrite"
has broken the Tweed and Canal rings
of New York and made a permanent
saving of over $8,000,O00 per year for
the people of that state. He has pu-
ished criminals and defaulters who
both feared and hated him because he
a0as not one of them. Mr.. Tilden has
been, with his few associates, Evarts,
Kerran and OConnor, for ten years
the dread of ring thieves and public
flchers in his native state, and that
is the reason he is SO much DETAINED,
hated and feared by republicans. They
fear his unyielding principles of hon
esty and integrity in Office will treat
national rings and ring-leaders as he
has those in the state of New York.
The Examiner and Chronicle, a New
York city paper of republican politics,
says in late issue:
Mr. Tilden has proved himself pure re-
former, a fine statesman and terror to
wrong doers.
Of his letter of acceptance that
1t is one of the most scholarly, honest,
and statesmanlike productions given to the
public for years.
The N. Y. Times, in speaking of
Mr.. Tilden in it's issue of Nov. 9th,
1871, says:
The voters of the Eighteenth Assembly
District ought to esteem it an honor and q
privilege to elect Samuel j. Tilden to the
Legislature He has shown himself gal
liant, conscientious, efficient foe to corrup.
ton. We appeal to every republican to
vote for him and work for him, and to do
so the more cheeerfully-as we make this
appeal-becarse he is an honest Democrat.
July Oath, 1874, it speaks of him
thus;
He is q gentleman, an able man, a man
of very high character, a man of unsullied
honor, public and private.
Again Nov. 4, 1874:
We doubtless see, to-day, the Democrat
ic Presidential Candidate of 1876, and if
the Republican party is not conducted
with greater wisdom and good fortune dur
ing the next two years, than it has been the
last two, Mr. Tilden Is the most probable
successor of Gen. Grant.
