Gov. S. J. Tilden, of New York, democratic
candidate for the Presidency, is defendant in a
suit by the st. Louis, Alton & Tere Hautc Rail-
way against him and others for unlawfully obtain
ing and dividing among themselves stocks and
bonds, and otherwise violating the confidence and
trust OF the railroad. Gov. Tden has made
through counsel, his answer to the charges. The
charges may be true false; his answer may be
complete or incomplete. 1t matters little. We
apprehend that the political result to Gov. Tilden

Why Democrats Leave Tilden t.

The following letter to the Waterville Mail we
find in the columns Of that paper. Mr.. Moor has
been democrat during his whole life up to the
present campaign
| notice that the democratic papers are abusing
c. Ii. Treat for leaving the co-called democratic
party-for it is only that in name. The democrat
ic party was founded by that great man, Thomas
Jefferson, who worked for The education OF the
masses,-the development of the resources of the
Countrywide greatest good of the greatest num-
berthe light of whose mind ELIMINATES the
world to-day. These principles are not. nor have
they been, carried out in acts or measures, at
least in certain sections of this country, since the
time of that great commoner, Henry Clay. The
democratic leaders now put those ideas forth, but
without any intention of carrying them into prac-
tice,-living on the reputation OF few bygone
great men.
There never was yet people or party so load

last of his life in the South, dying there; who
said that they were ruled by few nabobs, their

that certain great interests of this country require
protection by tariff that the country will yet
prosper in those manufactures that under these
policies it has prospered. and through the repub.

READrIELD, Aug. 18th, 1876.
Ia the Editor Of the Jothnal.
Allow me a few words in answer to the article
in tue Standard of this date, under the head of
"Republican flag raising and speech making in
Rcadfcld' and signed "Lucan." Now had this
Young democrat otficc-seoker been as economical
of his exceedingly loweiy language and stale
phrases peculiar 10 himself, as he Of the truth
in his article, his thin disguise of "Lucan" might
have served the desired end and secured him from
discovery. But disciple Of Pillsbury and edu-
Gated in the Standard office literature, it was not
in him to give fair account of our meeting he
must reeds deal in falsehood and SANDER. His
first falsehood is in the statement that the two
flags, Hayes and Wheeler and Tiden and Hen
bricks were raised the same day. The democrats
put out their flag at time when honest people
were in bed, and the nearest sleepers were not
disturbed, so mournfully silent were the two or
three democrats who were present at the time.
lie states that out Of the l53 persons present only
g. republicans were noticeable. This language is
as carefully arranged as are Thden's and Hen
bricks conundrums called letters Of acceptance,
but the iusinuation is basely false for our flag
was put proudly to the breeze in the light of day,
amid the nearly Cncers OF tlfee Tines loo persons,
and no attempt was made to call out a crowd.
So muca for the flags and the audience. But
would not have replied TO this article had not this
"babe' in politics so infamously slandered
a brave young soldier, whose hand was shot of
by the bullets Of southern democrats, ard whose
touching and eloquent language exasperaed this
cowardly "Lucan" and called forth this calumni-
Gus article. 1t was no doubt Mr. Simmons chal-
lcnge given the democrats here, to meet him in
public discussion, which they dared not do,-after
listening to his noble speech,-which, more than
ANYTHING else disturbed this mighty critic c.
"Oh would some power the giftic gle" him to
see himself as others see him.
Mr.. Simmons had "bloody shirt" made bloody
in defence of his country. This shirt he "haunt-
ed and the cowardly "Lucan" turned pale at the
sight fact so noticeable that the attention Of
many was called to it. We would have the people
note, as "Lucan" suggests, the effects of bloody
shirt waving upon the coming eectious, and par
ticularly would we have them take down the vote
of Readfeld which will stand 2 IL two and half
republican to one democrat.

The best answer to the columns of SLAM
der poured upon Senator Blaine is the en-
thusiastic manner by which he is received
by the vast and intelligent crowds that
greet him everywhere he speaks. No
such crowds, no such applause, no such
vast and sincere demonstrations of re-
spect were ever before accorded to any
public man in Maine as those which have
attended the new Senator in his present
campaign. OF his reception at the BAN
gor meeting the Wing and Courier says
s'The introduction of Mr.. Blaine was fol-
lowed by another scene of wild enthusi-
asm, the great Republican Leader receive
ing such an ovation as must have thrilled
his heart Of hearts. The applause rolled
over the house in surges, rising into cheers
that made NOrOmbega's walls to ring

chiefs and clapprd their hands, and staid
citizens shouted their welcome TO the
