Why Leading Republican Goes for
Tildeu.

Brooks Adams, Esq, in his address at
Utica, n. T., some days ago, summed up
his reasons for voting tor Tilden as fol-
| lows:
AS Liberal | cannot 90 back to the
Republican party now. but l can and do
| heartily support the Democratic candi-
date | do so because | think the issues
of the war Of the rebellion are rs safe as
those of the war Of the revolution and as
little likely to be disturbed; because
want policy OF interference with
the South, and we shall have it ii Gov
ernor Iilden is elected; because think
the greatest danger OF this country is the
growing usurpation and corruption Of the
Senate. and | know that if Governor Til
den is elected, he and his whole party
will do battle with the senatorial ring,
and, | hope, will destroy it. | am not
sure that any man Or any party can now
wrest its patronage from the Senate.
but | know that if Governor Tilden is
| elected he will do it if the thing is to be
done. If he can do it, he will once more
raise the Executive to the place where it
belongs. He will restore the balance of
our Government, and he will drain dry
the pool from which has flowed the viest
Of our intrigues, the toulest of our corrup-
ton.
support him because | am hard-mon-
ey man, and | believe in paying our debts
in gold. know that Governor Tilden has
been not only an able and fearless defend
er OF sound currency, but that he is one
OF the very few men who are thoroughly
educated tinanciers. | know that he is ca
pahle not only of adopting plans made by
others, but of forming and OF executing his
own. Were he elected we should be sure
not only OF an able President but Of an able
Secretary of the Treasury. | vote for him
because believe, with the New York Con-
ference, that we have had enough Of I'M
known men. vote tor him because he
has Il record and has proved himself wor-
thy to govern us. vote for him because
! am a reformer. and he is the greatest of
all relormers. vote for him as the man
who crushed the canal ring, as the man
VINO imprisoned Tweed, as the man who
stood firm for honesty when it seemed as
though the tide OF reputation must enguf
him; and, lastly, | vote for him to make
my protest against the evil record and the
malignant canvass of the Republican party.
