a,,Itn Al aagacio,1s, NJ reasons why he should
nnot be nominated. / will briefly set forth the
reasons why MIR. Tiiden should be fenoinin-
ated or rather the things which may amount
Co reasons. They are
First-Because Mr.. Tllden's candidacy
would minimize the antagunism OF
THE MONEY POWER w
to the success OF the Democratic party. This
In an important fact; for II makes a va6t dlf-
ference IN a campaign In this country vNethei
the Radical party can draw on the great
nanpyrtl interests for millions or only upot
Its own poverty stfieken office holders for
thousands to be used In buying votes and cor
r,,ptipg things generally.

all events II y fair t2 suppose ne would run
and better than any Western candidate. This
ia a consideration Tor the South exclusively.
That section has q. certain electoral vote
which must be reinforced by. o certain mum
l,e, of electoral votes from the North III or

apce Of power In the convention and can
name the candidate, 1t Ia Tor her 10 choose

Of March, 1881, the Presidency Into the hands

These. | take 1t, are considerations, the
yalidlty. of which, not even the eneinie OF
MI n. ftIlGaE yEtIl n1Hh1tn && M@
But these considerations must be weighed
calmly and With respect To other and uppo-
elite ones. Where ~ q great deal Of ground
to be covered II making UP . presidential
four years. II may BE- that by the time the
convention meets In 1880, Mr.. Tilden will
have ceased to represent anything. but g re-
ininisence, and an unhappy one at TINT; " -
more than probable that at that time the true
policy of the Democratic party, Instead Of
being To minimize. the antagoiiism Of THE
money power, will be to bid Ii do Its worst
To declare. war against 1t g routrdnee. ia
that eyent1t IA plain thet MI. Iflden cannot bt
the proper man To bear the Democratic stand
ari.
Il ID quite possible that, in 1880, the pivot
| will ha found west instead of east Of the Ale
ghanies. And In that event Mr.. Tilden VII
not be tho man.
la 1880 the beauties OF poetic justice will hayt
I'd be sacrificed to the utilities OF SUCCESS, II
which case Mr.. Tilden will certainly have Il
20 and meet the noble army of martyrs.
AL aIl events his friends must run him upu
hia merifs. They do him no good by at
tempting to give him u distance-statt over
his competitors from the score. And abov'
ali they ahsnldly damage him by setting W
the cIaim that his nomination should be lilad'
la the form Of penance tor sins committed b1
Democrats themselves
Mr.. Tilder may be nominated. But II he is
/ venture to say, II will not BE- done BECAUSE
OF MIR. Blair's allegations touching
THE ~so-oALLt5p t'BA1eaA1N All wORMLtY's.
Neither will he De run III over the track o
any opposition line I'd Tom SCOTS real 0

To show the utter abslrtity Of MI Blair
allegations on this point II Is only necessar,
to remark that Henry WattefHon, WHO totll
