dent of the United States, Mr.. Tllden, and
with your clear head and practical mind you
ought to see this, as everybody else sees it.
You have, doubtless, certain power in your
party, for you can probably ruin it's chances
if you want to by forcing it to take you or
by leading faction to defeat it if it refuses
to submit to your demands. Either would
be fatal to the Democrats next year, and the
first, in our belief, even more certainly so
than the last. You cannot be President.
but you can be something else. You can re-
sign your pretensions to the nomination,
publicly take leave of public life, and in this
retirement you will discover you possessed
more influence over your party, and
would have greater or, at
least, to man of ideas, more desirable posi-
ton, than you have ever had, or than the
Presidency. if you could achieve it, would be
for you. You cannot be President, for
number of reasons. We will not here refer
to certain disagreeable events in your career,
because that would be upkind, and we are
now addressing you in the most friendly
spirit. We will not allude to your unfortu-
nate income tax suit, with it's painful adj
juncts, nor the still more unfortunate cipher
dispatches, to your sometime relations with
William NJ. Tweed, nor to your relations to
certain shipwrecked railroads. It is far
from our purpose to revive in your own
mind the recollection of events which never
theless are fresh in the public mind, and
which all sensible Democrats very we'll
know their opponents would, if you
should have the ill-fortune to prs
cure yourself to be nominated,
take care to advertise abundantly to pnblic
which, though it may not be squeamish in
its own pursuit Of fortune, is perhaps for
that reason the more rigidly particular about
the character of its servants. There ara
other reasons besides these to prevent Won
from ever becoming President. You are
undoubtedly an able man, but your action in
partisan politics is disastrous to the party
you seek to control. You follow your own
career with such unfaltering determination
that you VIGOROUSLY forget everything else
and politician of whom it is generally sus
pected that he means to either rule his party
or ruin it, cannot expect long continued
success. You succeeded once. You became
Governor of New York. You ought to have
seen that this was properly the end of your
career as ah Office HOLDER
The Herald seriously appeals to Tilden to
publicly withdraw to private life, as Wash
ington and Grant have done, and thus to be-
come the sage of Gramercy park and of the
Democracy.
New York Sun, July 49,
The Herald of yesterday morning volun-
teers full column of advice to Mr.. John
Kelly. It can all be summed up in three
words: Fight Mr.. Tilden. Such q contest
the Herald points out as the sure road to
victory for the Democratic party. Here are
two bulldogs, on the same side, from petty
lriitations glazing and growing at each
other. The Herald rubs the ears of one and
says est boy" to set him on his comrade,
and declares this to be the true way to over
come common enemy.
Logical, is it not!
Now the Erpress, the avowed organ of
Tammany Hall, copied the article In the
Herdtd, approvingly, last evening, preceding
it with the remark "Tilden means Tilden
always, everywhere and at whatever peril
himself and nobody else. = His
election would be an unspeakable ca
lamity to the country were it possible, but,
thank heaven, it is not" The Express then
goes on to predict the defeat of Robinson
and Tilden as certain if they are candidates.
1t is matter of considerable interest and
Importance. both to John Kelly, alias Tam
many Hall, and to the Democracy of the
State of New York and of the United States,
to know just what the fulminations of the
Tammany organs mean. Do they mean
that Tammany will 60 into the State conven-
ton, if admitted, and nominate its own can
didate, if possible, and if he is nominated,
demand the support Of the Tilden and Rob-
lnson mon; but if Robinson is nominated,
then defeat him at the polls?
"Heads win; tails you loose;'' is that the
Tammany game?
We say it is time this whole matter should
be thoroughly sifted and perfectly under
stood.
