"a financial reform depends upon the
ipfiu.rce Of the President, it could be
nlscad In nc safer hands Regarding
reform in genera, Mr.. Tildep expresses
himself with all the warmth which
could be looked for from this tried
champion Of reform, and he treats the
subject Of civil service reform in tone

question he speaks with sucS decision
That the WaYers OF the bloody shit Will
find it very difficGlt to make their bissi-
ne:s profitable during the coming CAM
paign. Mr.. Tilden must have strength.
ened himself in the good opinion and
appreciation Of the American people,
and he stands out more absolutely than
ever before the reform candidate"
THEY SMELL OF THE LAMP.
Philadelphia Press (Rep)! "At last
MESH. Tilden and Hendricks have
inslly given out their letters OF accept
ance. Anxious Democrats can now
draw long breath. There is nothing in
them important enough to justify such
an inordinstely long Incubation. Yet
they certainly smell strongly OF oil.
They have evidently teen carefully elab-
to say something adapted to each of the
various incongruous elements of the
party, and to say nothing offensive to
any. As result, there Is an utter lack
in them of heartiness and spontsneity."
MANLY AND STRAIGHTFORWARD.
st. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette dem. J: "In
another column will be found Governor
| Tilden's and Governor Hendricks let
tiers, accepting the nominations of the
| Democratic party for the Presidency
and Vice Presidency. They are manly,
straightforward documents, and the I'M
mistsksble expires sions regarding the ne.
| &C sity OF reform will be received with
appro baton by all those who have the
| best Interests of the country at heart.
The financial quo ntion is sensibly dis
| posed Of, and each letter is such IS to
a. ure all parties alike that in commit
ting the le- defship into the hands OF
suoh man Ss Samuel ]. Tilden and
Thomes A. Hendricks the people have
not erred"
LOYAL AND SENSIBLE VIEWS.
Pitt1burg Chronicle (Rep.): at is
| the conspicuous merit of Governor TIL
| den that no has ever been on the side Of
sound and honest finance; thst he hrs
seen the great danger, il once the road
| of initiation was entered upon, and that
he hes constantly warned the pG )ple of
| toe ruin and disgrace sure to be met with
at the end of that road. His most i'm.
portant service rendered to the people is
| that he has brought the great political
| party in which he is the first among
| equals to the same sound, loyal and
sensible views on the subject
FOOD FOR REFLECTION.
Cleveland Plaindeoter (Dsm.):
"There is food in these letters for much
reflection on the part Of our Republican
friends. They had f1attered themselTCJ
into the belief that the delay in their
appearance augured q radical disagree |
ment; the Letters now exhibit our can
didates In perfect harmony on the me IT /
important que stion Of ths campaign, 2 !
well rs in accord with the soundest |
financial thinkers of the world IS to the |
essential principle Of the question. The |
situation is, therefore, propiiious for |
the Democracy IS it could b. There is /
no longer any doubt that the party is in |
step with the prevailing sentiment OF
the country. Both candidates re-echo |
the demand of the ST. Louis convention |
for repesl of the resumption.in-IS79 /
law, ana the demand is now seconded
by the bankir e and currency committee
OF the house"
PRoLIX AND DULL.
Baltimore Anae1 lean (Rep): ''Mr.
TiIden Is prolIx as usual, and il the
heading were stricken out, his produc-
ton would pass for stump speech Of
average dullness."
NOT AMBIGUOUS.
Baltimore Gazette Dem.): cit is clear,
earn. st and forcible, and carries with It
a weight of conviction that will sink into
the minds of the people. It's style is
somewhat cumbgous, but it is not in the
least smbis lous."
FALSE AS THE ST. LOUIS PLATFORM.
Cincinnati Gazette R>p.): "His fig
ures of national taxation are S9 false as
that of the st, Louis platform, which it
is probable he furnished through Marble,
and, 90 every intelligent person knows,
they were an astonishing performance
in lying"
MARRIED BY EXTRACTS.
Cincinnati Commercial Qud }: "Gov-
erDOr Tildeh's letter is marred rather
than helped, r. 3 d5eur ent Of SYM
metly and style, by the numerotis ex-
tracts it contains from the governors
utterancC ', and it WIS not worth while
now to at such pains to prove to the
soft Demo cracy that their candi-
date hes long been hard-money man."
NO EXCUSE FOR A THIRD PARTY.
Cincinnati Enquirer fDsm.) J; t'If any
western Democrat had been nominated !
for the Presidency it is doubtful if he
would have put int his letter of accept
ance such pronounced profee ions in
favor Of the western belief concerning ,
the currency, We do not thiLk that |
any western candidate who could have |
been nominated would have been in his :
accepting letter so brave in defense of the |
friends OF currency reform as Mr.. Tilden :
his been generous and stStesmanlike. I
BE he's left no excuse for a third party. [
He ha1 LETT no excuse for bellion or /
boiling among Democratic rahas. He I
has made noble and stat Jmanlike con- 8
cessions to the Democracy Of the west, 7
by reason Of which he deserves their 8
II there are any who are dis (
satisfied with the letter 9f Mr. Tilden, it c
must be the bulliOnists Of the east, Under
whose appreciation he has. serenely
tested. Upon all other topics the letter
)f MIR. TIlden is excellent"
REFORM IN EVERY DEPARTMENT.
Philadelphia Chronicle. Gas ives to v

reform in the scale OF public expense, Q
Fe ieral, State and municipal, and in Z

)sToN BRAINS CAN'T UNDEF STAND IT. u
Boston Journal (Rep.), THE letter r
tself is singular mixture Of ruth, Ell. g
or and sophistry: Many of the truths n
re simple truisms, such as have been in n
he mouths of every body, whether sin
erely tered or not. Live within @,

hreges, wholly unlike the clear and e
