Hnrpers NfefFv. July IT,
Tho charge that Mr.. Tlden was very luke
warm patriot during the War, and that he re-
ported tho famous surrender platform Of tho
Denocsatic Convention OF 1901, has been Iabo-
rtously denied and eyadcd. 1t has bccn alleged
that tho resolution did not express Mr.. Tden's
sentiments. But htr. Tildcn was tho member
OF tho Committee from New York, and he mado
no protest aga!ust tho platform then or subsc-
| qucnt1y, nor was there nnything In the rcsolu-
tton which in any degree inconsistent with his
attitude through tho War. In plain words, Mr..
Tllden wus, tn tho political phrase Of the War,
