AS regards Mr.. Hewitt's letter and Judge
Sinnott's statement need hardly say anything
except that they are perfectly satisfactory not
only TO Democrats but to the fair minded of all
parties, The EOening. Post of this city, which
Is an Intensely energetic champion of Hayes and
wheeler, says that "The denial of the charges
in regard to Governor Tilden's income tax comes
from Judge Sinnott, who has been the Govern.
ors Sonndential clerk. Viewing the denial in
thls light, we do not hesitate to say that Gov
erhor Illden's character as citizen long known
In professional life in this city entities him to
verdict of acquittal of the charges which have
been brought against him."
Alter reviewing all the facts in the case, no
one can fail to see that the newspaper that made
the charges not only lied but persisted in
eliminating the good name of citizen who
had established his reputation and was known
as patriotic member of society.
Inc 1meS confesses its own nfamy by admit
ting tnat IL made the charge of perjury against
uoV. liiden because some one had Promised to
bring them the evidence The exact language
of the Times is:
In Judge Sinnott's letter it is asserted that
the Toledo and Wabash Railroad Company never
was client of Mr.. Tilden, and that neither in
1867 nor at any other time did he receive any
fees from it. That we must accept as conclu-
siye Proof of our charge was promised from
authorities In which we had confidence, but in
its absence that item must be withdrawn"
ACTION THAT GIVES THE LIE.
When l think of the many dsinterestcd nc.
lions that Mr.. Tilden has done, both for the
good of the community and for the benefit OF
individuals, 1t seems preposterous that news
paper could be so foolish as to expect the peo-
pie TO believe statement of so vile charac-
ter. On the authority of the Hon Alfred p
Swineford, the editor of the ablest mining
journal in the United States, the ohio Democrat
states that the gentleman who is now the Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency at one time
disbursed oUer one million of dollars for the bene
| fit OF the miners in Michigan.
1t is well known fact, established not only
by the newspapers in general, but By the teStin,0
| ny Of the NoW York Times, that had it not been
for the untring efforts of Mr.. Tilden and un
stinted expenditure of his own funds, the ring
