And those who had access to him during thoss
tks when the opportunity waited TO be ssize6s
and when the time to,strike fingered, knew that
he was for peace, and that bis counseis were Tho
oounseis Of tranquility. Mr.. Tilden knew that
he was dealing with an oiiemy who knc. nn

methods were employed 40 that the inality wxs
success. And he knew, too, that the only appeal
which could be taken from the greed Of his enc

cowaydiee. There has been no tiwo botween the

power before the majesty If which tha
conspirators would have skunk away appalled,
and glad to escape with their precious neeks mn
harmtd. But MIR. Tilden did not look In the
right direction when he was hunting fer the con-
science OF the country. He listened TO
THE VOICE or CAPITAL

closely surrounded him and listened to the voice

States. Now, Paris may be France; but New
York city, with its meretroious civilization, iss

debauched body and its benunbed soul ID nos
the American republic, nor yet ia Ii the heart
thereof. IL IL simply an ugly, alien, repnlsfve
and leprons fungous growth upon the body of
the aforesaid. And IL the bitter lesson We have
just learned teaches tho people TO amputste this
cancer from all influence In national pglitics tor~
ever, then IL can be said that there ig no great
loss without some small gain.

upon poor Hewitt In the way he did, when know
that he knew Ii his gun had been sighted prog

In that aristocratic square ayoreaaid. I an not
unappTised OF the consf auences which must haya
followed, for hrief seasoD at least the adoption
OF the only policy by which tho enemy could have
been made 10 loosen bis grip. Gold would have
gone up, and securities would have gone To tho
devil Mr. Tild n thought he could at once pre-
servo tho rights OF the people who elected hirn
and keep the gold premium down.

COD AND MAMMos,
with tho proverbial result. Mr.. Hewltisa bian1e.
If he s to be blamed at all lies In the fact That
he WAS Zoo faithfal TO his chief. And when ron
have said that you have said sll. shall expect

hit the real mark. And I object to this optbiDg
fire on the quartermaster when tho cornmabding

the uaual New York methods. Then he carried
ON q New York campaign all over the countrys
except In Indiana, where the boys fJnshsit ont

the State IN spite Of New York--and the RESULT
was he only ca RED four Northern Hates when
he ought to have had seven. He gave The man-
agement OF the Pacific slope to Hwin. That was
about the same as Ii he had employed Hon. JEFF
ferson Davis to manage the canvass cast of the
mountains, and was equivalent 10 giving Califor~
mia and Oregon TO Hayes without struggle.

And now Hewitt gets the kicks. protest. 10 i

Then laid that paper down and picked up the

have no doubt the mare is good one. Hut
have never heard that Mr.. Tilden ss drilling her

Now, then. have discovered that qsso tcdyvantos
