Governor Tilden Accepts.

Governor Tilden has come out in
/" letter accepting the Democratic
nomination for the presidency, in
which he states at considerable length
his views of the general condition of
affairs, and what should bo done by
u now administration. Upon the
great question of Reform he SAYS
"Thc necessity Of reform in the scale
of public expenses, Federal, State,
municipal, and in modes of Federal
taxation, justities I'LL tho prominence
bong given to it in the declaration
Of the st. Louis Convention. The
present depression in all the business
and industries of the people, which
is depriving labor of it's employment
and carrying want into so many
homes. has it's p, .ncipal cause in
excessive governmental consumption,

of the Federal government. Tho Fed
eral taxcs Of tho past eleven years

taxation has amounted to two-thirds
MS much. The.vast aggregate is not
less than seventy fvo hundred mil

how this oxtrayagancc has affected
the general interests of the country,
