Gov .Tilden's Letter.

1t will be found correct in this paper,
copied from the New York World The
Geographic copy did not give the letter in
full, aud synopsis of some portions of it;
and many errors were made in its trans
mission and publication Every candid
reader Of this letter, says the World, will
come to its closing sentence with the con-
victioh, as vigorously expressed by his as
sociate, that this is theyery man we want
as chief magistrate Of the country in the
present crisis. There is not a glittering
generality in the letter. Nothing is said
for effect. There are no false professions.
Everything is clear, straig htlorward and
practical We see asOnce that the writer
has been accustomed to do the work of re-
form, and got over making phrases about
it long ago. He is full of definite plans to
meet the wants of the country, and he
gives his opinions SIMPLY and frankly
avoiding all appearance of excitement OF
exaggeration. The letter is long because its
author had much to say, and not because
he has any disposition to run off. as Car
lyle would say, into wind and tongue. Il
was plain from Governor Hayes's letter
that he was repeating fine phrases learned
by rote, protesting popular political the
cries without understanding them, AM
making profuse promises without appre
ciatirg the full meaning of the obligations
which he was assuming in order to win ia.
vor as candidate. 1t is clear from Gov
ernor Tilden's letter that he has studied
the necessities of the country and decided
upon specific remedies. The scope of hi
vision, the accuracy of his knowledge O
the cuuntry and his grasp of the case in
spire confidence in him at once, Haye
writes like college sophomore Tide
like a man Of the world and of affairs.

Death of Mr.. Paddock.

In an article regarding the sad suicide
of Mr. Paddock, announced in last even
ing's ARGUS, the Gazette of this morning
says:
1.-THE sum of $3.50 was in Mrs. Paddock
possession. and MIR. P. thought that it had
better be loaned out at interest, and she
gave him the money. as be knew friend
in Rock Island who would like to borrow
it. On his return, when asked if he had
made the loan and taken a note and Sc
curity. he said he had not, but would fix
it all right. Now, it is certain that he
never loaned the money, but lost it at a
gambling place, although he had hitherto
rarely engaged in that method of making
money. 1t is believed that he felt so bad
ly over the loss of this money, that it, with
the fact of his being out of employment,
drove him to the deed. X He was
kind hearted, industrious citizen, who had
few enemies and many friends. His fam
lily are in the deepest grief, and will not
be comforted.
And the Democrat says
"A week ago last Saturday MIR. Paddock.
who was employed as foreman of con,
struction or grading for Reynolds, Saul,
paugh 4 Co., of Rock Island, had some
trouble with young Mr.. Reynolds. who
was overseer of the work, in consequence
of which he was discharged This made
him gloomy to some extent Mrs. Paddock
who has been off on visit to relatives, re.
turned home Saturday morning last, and
only then learned of the fact Of her hus
bands discharge From what we car
gather, Mrs. p had some money saved ur
which her husband borrowed from her tC
lend, as he said to a man in Rock Island
This money, we have our own reasons fol
saying, was not loaned to any one in Rocl
Island, but, we are almost forced to say
was lost in certain saloon in this city
This fact weighing upon the mind OF Mr.
2. rendered him desperate, feeling that h,
had no way of ever recovering it now tina
he had lost his situation. In tn,
family circle he was the most devoted 0
husbands, and the most affectionate o
fathers, and during his married life of 2.
years not word of discord ever MARIE,
the pleasant relations of this happy fam
lily. He is well known, and hi,
death is universally regretted"
