IN his answers to the coHPlHiEt i'll
the Circuit Court OF the United States
in the suit o. the ST Louis, Alton x
Terre Haute Railroad Company against
himself and others, which answer was
filed in August, 1876, the same Samuel
J. Tilden made oath to the following
statement
That for such services the defend
ant, Tilden, made a charge Of ten thou
sdIld dollars against said second mort
gage bOndholders. and the said charge
was paid by or on behalf OF said sec
ond mortgage bondholders on tie 17th
dGy IF OctOJer, 1852 That the de-
fendant, TiIden, for Il part Of his ser
vices aforesaid, also made charge of
the like sum Of ten thousand dollars
on account OF professional services
rendered to the first mortgage bond
holders and the receivers, which was
paid TO him by the said Azaiah G. Flagg
which payment appears under date IF
October l7th, 1862, in statement an
nexed to the first report aforesaid Us
hdcing been receipted for by the said
IildeH on account of professional ser
vices.
The New York .StGats ZeituHJ, edit
ed by Mr. Ottendorfer, SAYS of the In
come Tax aflidavits of Mr.. I'ilden:
IF Mr.. Tilden can not give satisfac-
tory explanation in this matter. he is
certainly not Il fit candidate for the
Presidency"
And Democratic papers from one
end Of tie land to the other preserve
a SOLEMN silence in regard TO this mat
ter Sammy J. himself is not more
reticient But how can he be other
wise with these two afiidaviIs OH file
against him. Sammy il in bad way.
Is it any wonder, then, that the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, whose editors mp
pear to have known more of Tilden
than they even dared make public,
should have opposed his nomination so
strongly and now advocates his election
so feebly Or is it any wonder hat on
the 9Th of June last, on its editorial
page, we should find such an arraign-
ment as the following:
al He can not carry his own State
in November.
''2. He can not carry any Northern
State
''3. He is a hgpocrite, a politicI
