s'The~mOral sense of mankind will
not fail to deliver u Judgment on this
subject which will result in measures
that will render II repetition Ut the
wrong forever impossible. The popu-
lar sentiment on this subject is clear and
strong and almost unanimous. Inllica-
lions come to me every day its grow,
ing universality. The American PEG,
pie feel that the Revolution which
secured our Independence and establish
ed the right OF every citizen to par
tieipate in the government Of the coun-
try was fought in vain, aud the patrio.
tic sacrifices Of our illustrious ancestors
were wasted, if a practice should grow
up whereby men once in possession OF
the Government can hold that pos.
session after the people have ordered
them out.
Here the interview was interrupted
by tile entrance of a large number of Mr..
Tifden's friends who had been search
ing the ship for him. They left hardly
standing room in the saloon, and, rs
all could not gain admittance at once,
many stood in the doorways on either
side. Others still, curious to see what
was going on within, closed the tiny
windows with their heads, so that all
circulation OF air was stopped, and the
room became unbearably warm.
Mayor Ely, heading the throng of
visitors, grasped Mr.. Tilden's hand,
saying, owe are very sorry you are
going, SO far as we are concerned, but
for your sake we are glad.''
/ Mr.. Tilden's friends grasped his hand
in turn, and with each he conversed a
moment.
To one of these friends Mr.. Tiden
said:
"The prospects of the Democratic par
ty are glorious. It's strength in the
South is growing, and everywhere
throughout the land its highest aspira-
lions will be speedily reached"
"What would you say to a Republi-
can, Governor, if he asked which party
is to control the country?" asked {, man
who had previously tleclared: himself q
Republican.
ct am too polite q man: to give my
impressions on that subject to Repub-
iican, -. Mr.. Tiiden replied, = laughing
rs he spoke. D.. %l.i 1T . ''tiiH 90. -
"But I want to know" the Repub-
lican persisted stis the country to be
under Democratic or Republican rule
with the next changes ?''
"Deinocratic, - said Mr.. Tiltlen.
Just before the -Scythia sailed a
beautiful rose was presented to Mr.
Iilden. This he pinned to the lapel
of his coat. Miss Maude Clark, a
young lady passenger, was introduced
by her father, and placed in Mr..
Tilden's charge for the voyage.
At II O'Clock all hands were piped to
the decks, the great bell in the bridge
was rung, and the friends of Mr.. Tilden
and the other voyagers left the vessel
and assembled on the pier. AS the
Scythia swung lazily into the stream,
Mr.. Tilden, leaning upon the vessels
rail, and talking with Mr.. Bigelow
was startled by three loud cheers and
ga tiger" from the throng on the pier.
He waved his hat, the ladies on the
vessel and on the pier waved their
handkerchiefs, and then the steerage
passengers, guessing what the cheering
was for, sent up another three, and
supplemented them with another
