trusted as q candidate. The losses have hes
too frightful upon the one baud. and the pri-
vate gains too enormous on the other, to make
any man, identified, as Mr.. Tilden Is, with rail-
roads, the proper candidate for the President OF
the United States. We seek simply to avoid the
defeat Of the Democratic party in November
next by using all fair and honorable means to
prevent an unwise nomination at st. Louis"
FROM II cHIcAGo TIMES,
"Tilden and Hendricks combined would be o
guarantee of the success of the Hayes party,
even in Indiana. v Instead of q strong
ticket, Tilden and Hendricks would probably be
found the weakest ticket that could be made.
Tilden, without Hendricks, might carry New
York, were it not that Tldenis nomination
would inevitably give Indiana TO the Hayes party
in October. Hendricks, without Tilden, might
possibly (but not probably carry Indiana, but
certainly not New York, Connecticut, or New
Jersey. But Tlden and Hendricks combined
would be a trademark of political dishonesty
that all honest citizens would spurn. Ii would
not get an electoral vote north of the Ohio river.
For Tilden to swallow Hendricks and survive is
an imaginable possibility. For Hendricks to
swallow Tilden and survive is an imaginable
possibility. But for Tilden and Hendricks to
swallow each other and survive is plainly not
within the bounds of things possible"
FROM THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES"
Without dealing with the question, whether
or not Tilden deserves to be elected over Hayes,
we turn to the practical and vital fact that he
would be defeated by the largest popular ma
jority ever cast against any candidate, except
ing Mr.. Greeley. He would be pitted against
the same Mr.. Hayes who owes his election over
Allen in 1875, and thereby his nomination in
1873, to the open detection of Mr.. Tilden's
friends and their defiant assaults upon their own
party and its candidates, and the October cleo
tions in Ohio and Indiana would be swept by
tens of Thousands for Hayes, with New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Connecticut GER
tain to follow in November by msjorities second
only TO Grants in 1S12."
FROM THE CADIZ QoHIol sssENTINEL."
BATES & Locke, advertising agents, of New
York, send us some puffs of that old bull
headed Bullionist, Sam Tilden, which they want
inserted as reading matter, and for which they
offer to pay US in rag money We do not in
sert advertisements among reading matter, and
therefore decline their offer. The proprietors
of sugar coated pills, who advertise in the
Sentinel, have to assume the pressure and bum-
bug the people by shouldering the RESPONSE
bility in the regular advertising columns. But
this Nldcn matter has another objection. The
laws of Ohio forbid newspapers advertising
abortion goods"
FROM THE PETERSBURG VA.) index
"What We urge is that the public should be
enlightened as to the depth and origin Of this
lately-born clamor for Tilden. IL is meretri-
cious and mechanical as soon as his nomina-
ton is made the people will fall of from ths
ticket in disgust. Now pause and inquire.
while there is yet time, about the truth of the
matter. Respectable journals like the Mem
phis Apal1nchs, the Savannah Necs, the Au-
gusta Chronicle, testify to having been ap-
preached with money in the interest of this
New York candidate, and there is indisputable
and undisputed evidence that an advertising
agency in New York is running of Mr.. Tilden's
name as Helmbold was wont to do his buchu.
Is the strength so based a safe one on which TO
build the Democratic canvassi If so, 90 on
We wash our hands Of the responsibility"
FROM THE NEW HAVEN UNION"
"Governor Tilden meets with admirable sue
cess in capturing Democratic conventions in
States where the party has virtually no exist
ence. The sure Democratic States are all Bit
terly opposed to Tilden, so far as public senti-
ment is concerned, but Tilden's money has 4
perceptible influence on the delegates. IL
would not surprise us in the least should Tildeu
pull through. He is utterly INSCRIPTIONS, and
by his lavish expenditure Of money now, he is
raising hope in the breasts of i~mpecunious
strikers that money will flow like water if he
becomes the standard bearer"
