The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1876-10-28


State of New York. Gov. Tilden knows
that if he does not carry that State he can
not possibly be elected He goes to the
Liberty street political bureau every day
and gives his personal attention to the de-
tails of the campaign. This might be re-
garded by some as rather unbecoming in
candidate for the highest position in the
Republic, but Tilden is troubled by no
upon which he refused to pay the income
tax, is drawn upon lavishly for campaign
purposes, and money is sent without stint
to every point where it will do good. The
such that it is hardly possible for Tilden to
carry the State on a fair vote. The ma jor-
ity for Hayes in the State at large will GER
tainly be greater than can be given for Til
den in New York and Brooklyn by any
lawful means. Effort is being made by the
Democrats to pile up a majority for Tilden
in those cities in the same way that was SO
etfectual in the hands of Tweed in 1868,
when Tilden was chairman of the Demo-
cratic Committee and the State was carried
by fraud for Hoffman and Seymour. There
are better safeguards now than there were
then, and fraud is more difficult.
WE don't believe that the workingmen
Of this country are so hopelessly blind to
their best interests as to permit themselves
to be led by that blindest of all leaders of
the blind, the hungry, yelping office and
spoils seeking pack of Democrats consti-
tuting the body guard of Mr.. Tilden, the
"sham Reformer." To the poor man above
all others is the circulation and use of capt.
tai in domestic industries important, and
any cause that would have the effect of
locking up the capital of the country, and
thus depriving him of its benefits, should
be bitterly opposed by him. We commend
to the poor man the careful perusal of the
following extracts from letter to late
New York paper:
BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. e4.-Another very
encouraging sign, which has been very
past two weeks, is the large number of
business men and capitalists who are COM
ing out from the Democratic party and
announcing themselves for Hayes and
Wheeler. One of the largest manufactur
ers in Buffalo, well known as Democrat,
lately came forward and voluntarily put his
name down to liberal subscription to the
Republican campaign fund. Business men
say that with the manifest tendencies of
the Democratic party and the encourage
ment that their success would give to the
lawless element in the South, they can have
no confidence in the future peace and sta
bility, and consequently no encouragement
to invest their money in business enter
prises if the Democratic party should come
into power. A gentleman in the little town
of Clean, Cattaraugus county, told me that
he knew Of $175, 900 lying idle in that viii
lage awaiting the result of the Presidential
election. If Hayes and Wheeler were
elected it was to be Immediately invested
in a new industry there, and not otherwise.
In all the large cities this same view of
the situation has recently been taken, CAPT
taists tell me, and there is no class of peo-
pie in this country SO deeply interested in
the success of the Republican ticket as the
mechanics and laborers who are asked to
vote for Tilden and Hendricks on account
of the i" hard times"
