STATEMENT BY CHARLES Francis AD
With Mr.. Tilden and this platform
the Democratic party stands bette
morally, before the people, than doe
the Republican party. Hayes is moth
ing respectable, no doubt, but with
out any record as areformer Tildel
is in himself a platform. He ha
made his record. OF the two l woul'
infinitely prefer to see MIR. Tilden II
the executive chair. Governor Tildel
will secure the support OF the oppon
ents of corruption who desire to Sc
the real work accomplished. Th
Republican platform is weak, espe'
tally in the financial plank. This wa
an endeavor to catch the "soft" an
"hard" money men. The issue of tn
campaign with Tilden at the head c
the Democratic party, is made yer
doubtful. 1t will be a hard fight. III
den S war record, is good one. II
is ell right there. As President, NJ
Tilden would sweep away corrupt me
and abuses.
