For Tilden.

Judge Coop, of the marine court, New
York, has resigned his place on the German
Republican committee of that city and
comes out for Tilden, giving his reasons in
the following letter:
Hon. A. j. Dittenhoefer. Esq. President,
DEAR SIR: Accept herewith my re-
slgnation as member of the German Re
publican central committee Of the city OF
New York. | seek the welfare of the
the union in the election of Governor
Tilden as its chief magistrate, which brings
me in collision with that organization OF
which, with feeble but honest efforts
assisted in laying the foundation in lo4S,
which aided in elevating me to an i'm
portant and honorable position in 1875.
but in repect to which | made a solemn
public promise in 1856 that it ever it
should become as corrupt as the Demo
cratic party then was to oppose it with the
same zeal with which labored for its for
nation.
1t the time to redeem that pledge has
only now arrived, it is because even a
great evil must not be removed to give
place to a greater For months past
nothing but apologies have been offered in
advocacy of the Republican administration
Tor some time even apologies have died
away. At It's convention the party adopted
a confession OF incompetence which alone
speaks its condemnation, and presented
tor popular support two candidates, the
one of whom is recommended simply by
his unexceptionable obscurlty, and the Other
by suspected completely in the very abuses
which most earnestly call for redress.
L shall support no candidate who, how
ever favorably judged by his nearest friends
is not publicly known to possess those
qualities of mind and character which tht
stern task OF genuine reform requires. The
American people cannot now afford to rlsh
the future of the republic in expert
ments on merely supposed virtue OF
rumored reliability or the strength OF
private recommendation. The man to b,
intrusted with the presidency this yea
must have deserved not only the con6denc,
of honest men, but also the fear and hatret
off thieves. The country smust have
president whose name is already watch
word Of reform, whose capacity and cour
age for the work are matters of recor,
rather than Of promise.
Such a man has been found one b,

only been fearlessly undertaken, but tri
umphantly carriedthrough. At the momel
he is entering upon the third and great
est, to oppose him would be in me, in IN
; eyes, a crime; not to follow him, coward
ice
For moment. had hoped that tn
committee might be brought to share thes
views. Itself the product of a struggl
against the trammels Of party. this bod
, has never SEEN cause to admire the work
ing of party dictation. But the upequivc
cal declarations to the contrary, just pu
forth, have dispelled this hope, May tn
time speedily return when we shall be on
in conviction as well as in sentimen;
Very truly yours,

The Grange advance. [volume] (Red Wing, Minn.) 1873-1877, 1876-08-30

Here Is a sworn statement that he re-
received $50, 900 in 1862 for one legal rob,
and yet he returns only $7,118 of
income fer that year! As the New York
Times says:
At that period his professional income
was netsriously very large. He could
hardly have received less than $50, 900
from other sources. On the other hand,
his return for 1863 shows that the entire
amount Of deductions to which he was
entitled by law was less than $4,000,
yet in 1862. if his return was honest,
he deducted at least $4,000, and prob
ably nearly $40, 900 of his income that
year escaped taxation. Moreover, his
return for 1868 discloses about $l3, 600
Of income from permanent investments.
Is it at all probable that he had such an
income from investments in 1863, and
had no income whatever from invest
ments in 1862?-Chicago Tribune.
The democrats are endeavorine
to explain away the above by stating
that the amounts received from the
railway company were earned in
years previous to 1862. A mans
income, however, is what he re.
ceives, not what he earns. If this
rule, now urged in Mi: Z'ilden's ia
vor, is the correct one on which to
base an income tax, it follows that
no man should be called upon to
pay such tax on an income accru-
ing from the earnings of previous
years labors. Were this the correct
method, rich men whose wealth from
which their incomes accrue, have
been previously earned, would al
ways be wholly exempt from pay
ing income tax. Again the affida-
vit above quoted, to which Mr..
The Grange advance. [volume] (Red Wing, Minn.) 1873-1877, 1876-08-30
Coming down to Facts.

The canvass is bringing out the
strong points" of Gov. Tilden's
character: In 1861 he publicly
notoriously opposed the coercion
policy of Mr.. Lincoln's administra-
ton. In 1864 he was still a "peace"
man and declared the war a failure.
This is now denied, and Manton
Marble, the editor of the World,
who then advocated the same doc
trine, and was only restrained from
its continued enunciation by positive
declarations that his newspaper.
would be suppressed by the govern
ment if he persisted in so doing,
comes forward alone and denies that
Mr.. zilden did oppose the war!
Does Mr.. Marble suppose that the
people of the country will accept
his testimony as against the publish
ed statements made at the time and
uncontradicted until now?
Again, in 1864 Mr.. Z'ilden swore
that his income for the preceding
year, subject to taxation, was ST.
118. But, in 1876, in his answer to
a suit commenced against him by
the St. Louis, Alton and Terra Haute
railway company, he swears to hav-
ing received in 1862 some $4,000
from one single speculation! Is it
not fair to question the sincerity of a
professed reformer whose own state
ments prove that he swore falsely,
and, in one year, defrauded the gov
ernment out of the income tax
chargeable upon receipts amounting
to $4,000? Perjury and enabezzle-
ment of the public funds were the
crimes charged against Hill Tweed.
Is this conduct of Z'ihen's any less
immoral?
