will sdduee the evidence of leading
Republicans Who favor reform within
the party. Judge Hoar, = republican
member Of Congress from Mass, IN the
peroration % Ais address delivered in
the Belknap impeachment trial, in
speaking Of his eight years experience
in Congress used the following language.
II have seen Eve judges Of high court
Of the United States driven from Office
by threats Of impeachment for corrup-
ton or maladministration. / have heard
the taunts from friendliest lips that when
the United States presented herself in
the east to take part with the civilized
world in generous competition in the
arts OF life, the only pr'duct of her in
stitutions in which she surpassed all
others Tas her corruption" His still
more eminent brother Judge lockwood
Hoar and others ofthe party speak in the
same strain. Now behold the dis
grace this party has brought upon the
Government OF the country. When UNI
der Democratic rule it was comedy and
fair. But now what can be said Of it
The able and patriotic men Of the liber-
al republican party who attended the
9Th Avenue conference in New York
to advise upon the best course to be
pursued in the coming contest. discard
ing party utilization, invoked the names
Of but two men as able to redeem the
country from its peril. The one was
Bristow and the othef was Tilden. The
Republican convention rejected Bris-
tow with seorn, while the Democratic
convention with enthusiastic unanimity
nominated Tilden. The Republican
convention on the other hand nominal
ted the very man outlined by the fol-
lowing passage OF the Fifth avenue ad-
dress: "Men who however favorably
Judged by their nearest friends are not
publicly known to possess those quail
tiles Of mind and character which the
stern task Of genuine reform requires;
for the American people cannot now
afford to risk the future of the Repub-
lie on experiments Of merely supposed
virtues or rumored ability to be trusted
on the strength of private recommends
dation." Now to whom does this rep
resentation apply' An intelligent pub
lie will not be slow to discern. As an
indication OF what will be expected Of the
Republican candidate by his lie AIDING sup
porters and warning to the people as
TO what they may expect Of him should
he be elected, Senator Conkling one Of
the leading lights Of the Republican
party said in recent speech delivered
at Utica. THAT each Of the candidates
for the Presidency will maintain and
illustrate the policy and spirit of his par
ty is As certain as good faith in man,
and this fact presents in the fairest light
the difference between them" Now
who are the leaders and what the spir-
it which they representa- by their
fruits you shall know them"
1t has been charged in substance that
Gov. Tilden occupies an equivocal po-
sition towards the different sections
Of the country with regard to his views
concerning the late war. Nothing could
be more erroneous. II is well known
that during that period he was a con-
sistent Union Democrat, in favor Of a
vigorous prosecution of the war when
he found it could not be averted, and
the restoration of the Union was h,s
ultimatum. Democrats Of the South
know this, but they are willing to ac-
cord TO him that same honesty Of con-
viction they claim for themselves:
they will not refuse to vote for him
because his sentiments have not always
been in exact accordance with their
own, for TO do so would be to throw
away the good already in their grasp,
because they cannot have all things ex-
actly as they desire. Certain disputed
questions were submitted to the arbi-
trament of the sword; they were deci-
ded in faver Of the North and against
the South; the South submitted, and so
far as the people Of the South are con-
cerned-they can say with Mr.. Tarbox.
an emine Mt Union soldier Of Massachu-
se,ts-"there is an end Of the difficulty"
And that man or party who would seek
advancement by reviving the slumber-
ing embcrs and dead issues Of the war
deserves and should receive the un-
qualified censure Of the American peo-
pie. Gov. Tilden unites in himself all
the essential requisites that can be de-
