~ we preeent 70 tpe readers OF the REG |
.IsrEst thin morning 4 astatement from |
Gov. THEN an d bis confidential bust
ness clsfk that sets forever at rest the
Infamous falsehoods of the New York
Times and the pepurers and suborners Of
perjury who invented it. The whole
story is proven to be a mere tissue Of
lies from beginning to end, and eleven
of the thirteen pretended items OF false
returns are pure fictions.
1t did not even require this convinc-
ing statement to satisfy the honest men
of this country that Mr.. TILDEN had
been most toully slandered by the lying
scoundrels who are controlling the Rad
ical campaign. But having been called
ost by the persistent falsehoods of such
men as Bliss and HARVEY, acting in
concert with certain parties in the
Treasury Department at Washington, 1t
vmdicates the honor Of Gov. TILDEN,
and makes it shine with resplendent
lustre. .r
1t will make him tens of thousands Of
votes among honest Republicans, who
will no longer hesitate to vote for the
pure statesman and distinguished Re.
former, who has been 50 UNANIMOUSLY
slandered by the desperate leaders of
Rsdicalism, in the vain hope that there
by the people might be mislead into
granting new lease Of power to the
plundsrers who have well-nlgh reduced
the people of the country to beggary.
This mastery exposition of most
famous falsehood needs no comment.
1t speaks for itself, and we refer it to
every reader for perusal. 1t leaves not
even shred 0! the foul calumny with
which the Originators can conceal their
hideous leprousy.
The Philadelphia Times, Independent
with Republican leanings, comments
IN this emphatic manner upon the sub.
ject:
TILDEN's MAsTERLY, vINDICATIoN
At last, and none too soon, we have the
answer OF Governor TILDEN to the grave
accusations made against the integrity OF
his income return for 1862, and the dis.
passionate reader will be amazed, after
perusing it, at the mendacity that has
characterized his accusers. Coming from
journal of assumed and hither-
to acknowledged respectabillty, the
country paused to consider the
charge, and had it not been
conclusively answered it must have cost
Mr.. TILDEN tens of thousand of votes;
but we now have the answer, item by
itcm, with n minutencss of detail that
torbids the possibility of evasion or con-
cealment, and no unbiased mind will fail
to regard the Democratic candidate for
President as fully vindicated. Not only
does the letter OF Judge SlNNoTT clear
the skirts OF Governor TILDEE of all
reasonable suspicion OF classifying his in
come returns, but in connection with the
predatory letter Of Mr.. HEWITT, il places
the national authorities as well AS
the New York Times in the most
pltiable position before the country
While Mr.. HEwITT's formal applica-
tions to the Treasury Department were
not only unanswered, but unnoticed in
any way, and all access to the records
practically denied HIM, those who were
fAbrlcating the falsehoods were permit
ted TO gsrble the official accounts and
photograph such as served their studied
efforts To defame an honest citizen.
Taken all in aIl, the assault upon Cover
nor TILDEN has been the most systematic,
malicious and atrociOus ever invented in
the desperation of u political campaign
and it will cost n journal like the New
York Tm', many years to recover the
character for candrr and manlinc,s il has
lost by its mad partisan defamation.
