Gen. Joe Hooker congratulates
Gov. Tilden, and says: We require
reforms in politics, religion and NOR
ais, and l am convinced that we
will receive them generously at your
hands. The whole government of
the nation has been corrupt, des-
perately corrupt, and the honor
and glory of applying the antidote,

If the fact of Your nomination does
not enchance the material values
Of the nation, 1 am sure your election
will do it. Already seem to
breathe new atmosphere, as is the
case with every well-wisher of his
country.
