TILDEN VS.. TAMMANY.

The defeat OF Tammany seems to give great
relief to Mr.. .Tilden and his friends, but the
gain to them has almost destroyed the party
in New York-defeated six Democratic mems
bers of Congress and insured Mr.. Conk ling's
return to the us. Senate. This man of all
others in the Radical party should have been
left at home he is one of the most extreme
men in verything save that which effects his
personal interests. aud this he plainly showed
the country by his cowardly conduct during
the electoral fraud, He admitted that
fraud bad been committed upon tho people
by the counting in of Hayes as President.
yet he could not rise above party feeling and
honestly denounce the crime Of which he
knew his party to be guilty, simply because
it effected his political interests with the
Radical party of his State; and this is the
man Sam'l j. Tilden, by his contemplate
desertion of principle aud party, sends back
to the U. s. Senate to punish, as he supposcs,
the Democratic party for some imaginary
wrong done him by the party in New York.
But his crime has brought with it tho pun.
ishment he deserved. II able supporter all
through his political fight, the N. Y. Sun,
nowiieaves him in his glory, denouncing him
as q political coward and very weak leader.
The Democratic party throughout the country
and That of Now York, should set down On
D-. Tilden and his pretentions to any claim
upon those whom he has 80 bssoly betrayed
in their hour of need. His organ the N. Y.
San, during the late canvass, put forth the
cry, mo King. no Clown, to Rule" Better
for New York had she an honest clown to adj
minister her laws than the corrupt king Dir.
Tilden and his friends have given her The
Tiden Democrats, it would eeem, are doing
their very best to verify the prediction made
by Grant, that the blunders and discussions
of the Democratic party would always defeat
and keep them from power party.
The local control of the Democratic party
in New York can be of little value to those
who have it, when it has disguised the whole
country and destroyed whatever influence it
might have had in the National Convention
We must look to the West for standard
bearer, and in the Hon. Thomas A. Hem
bricks, of Indiana, we can find the man
whose sound principles of justice and right
will be acceptable to the whole party. His
financial views are sound, and of that char
acter which will command the support and
allegiance of the whole party without com
promise, and he will carry our banner vic
toriously in 1880. We can expect nothing
from Mr. TiiGen and his friends, their prin>
ciples of rule or ruin cannot be tolerated by
the party of truth and justice We hoist
the banner of Hendricks, of Indiana, and
Davis, of West Virginia, as our leaders in
1880, and feel confident of the endorsement
of every Democrat who has the good of his
country at heart. y y y
