desert, in all respects, Of the Democratic
candidates. We shall return to the
consideration Of these letters from time
to time again.
The New York Evening Express.
The letterof Mr.. Tilden is marked
with all the peculiarities Of the man.
1t is instructive, terse, timely and
complete in the discussion of topics
which now interest republic.
The letter of Governor Hendricks
generalises where Gov. Tilden coudenses
upon an enlargement OF the topics dis
cussed. Both are in hearty scco
with the platform.
THE BUSINESS INTERESTS.
New York Evening Post.l
AS what may be COMPREHENSIVE
called the business interests of the
country are now suffering from un-
Eprecedented depression. that part of the
letter which treats of the causes of the
depression and the remedies for it viii
be read with the greatest interest; and
both branches of the subj ct are treated
with a clearness which comes only from
a thorough understanding of all that
relates to the subject.

In conclusion, we can only renew
our expression of the high appreciation
we entertain of the noble, wise and
patriotic utterances of our standard
bearers, whose timely words are now
being caught up and pondered by
Thoughtful men, all over this broad
land, consecrated to liberty, without
license !; to freedom, without anarchy,
and to be governed by legal restraints,
without tyranny and oppression.
THE WISDOM OF CRAFTSMANSHIP.
Albany Argus (Dem)]
In it the wisdom of the statesman
land the candid simplicity of private
citizenship are blended. No man can
read it without feeling the conviction
that Governor Tilden realizes the fact
that he has been nominated for the
Office of President, not to secure the
success of party, but to promote the
prosperity of people, to enforce in
their government the adoption of sonnd
principles, to insure the prosecution
of a sagacious policy, to extend proper
and equal protection to every individual
and every interest, and to inaugurate
necessary reforms in all departments Of
the public service, and his record affords
abundant guarantee that these great
ends will be attained under his admin
istration as President.
REFORM VS.. CORRUPTION.
findianap oils Sentinel
These two letters are in striking con
trast with the feeble uiterances of Hayes
and Wheeler Their letters have already
been forgotten, while these letters con
tain the shibboletbs of the coming
reform campaign. The party of reform
is, now properly before the country.
Our platform is written, our candidates
define their principles and purposes.
and the people are now invited to make
their decision between the perpetuation
OF corrupt administration and the
party Of reform.
PAIR OF STATE PAPERS.
Newark On. j. Journal Dem)]
We have before us a pair of state
papers fit to rank with those emanatir q
from the ablest statesmen the republ c
has produced. We will not say they
are not equaled, but we do say thai,
taken for all in all, they are not excellea
BY any similar documents produced by
our political system.
MASTERLY LETTERS BOTH.
Philadelphia Chronical Dem)1
We advise every Democrat, and
every other well.wisher of this country,
to read this mastery letter, as well as
that of Governor Hendricks, which
accompanies it. and with which it is in
perfect accord throughout Both are
statesmanlike and scathing reviews of
Republican policy, and each will furnish
incontrovertible arguments which can
be used with telling effect in the
campaign before us.
