TIE true in wardness of Tilden's
campaign tor the capture of the Presi-
oeaev is set forth as follows, by y
Washington correspondent Of the \.
Y. Tribune:
The anti Tilden Democrats are not
a little worried at the attitude which
The sold man. las his followers alice
tionsteiy coll him. has assumed In re-
gard to tbe Presidential pomination.
He seems to have the party sGrrqqnd-
ed. and, If reports from Democratic
soarces cen be trusted, be tbrestens
10 destroy it if be cannot rule it and
ne its candidate 10 1880 HIS agents
are already ia Dssy paris OF the
south. and his is the way in which
they ere said 10 put the case 10 TIE
managers OF the party with whom
they consult:
Governor Tilden is entitled to the
nomination. The Democratic party
il unanimous in its declaration that
he vas cheated out of the ufiee TO
which be Was elected in 1876. and
having once borne tic brunt OF the
fight. and spent his money freely. as
much tor the success of the party &c
Tor his ovn, it is unfair to deny him
the privilege Of acquiring the reward
that was stolen from him. He will
be the strongest candidate the Dem
oereeg can nominate, because the
~neople who voted for him before, and
Wbo we're not allowed 10 enjoy The
fruits OF the victory they fairly Eon,
will raiiy around bis standard again
as thew will sTeGGd that OF no Other
man. But aside from all these con
~siderstioas, the nomipstion of Mr.
Tildep is q political necessity. The
Democracy will be beaten in issi
/ unless il carries New York. We say
thar aasernor Tildeu. If be is noni
mated. can secure the tbirty-ive elee
toral votes Of the Empire Slafe. Nc
other candidate can do il. la fact
The .'old mao" will see that DO othe.
Democratic candidate does carr,
New York II be is beaten 10 the con
yen,ion. You see, therefore. that tb'
suestion to be considered is no
whether go3 prefer Governor TildeI
or some other usr, blt whether you
will go into the esDpsigl with
good chance Of winning With hin
or with certain defeat staring you il
the face With some one else for you
candidate.
To such an appeal as tbis there j
no answer. II j: is said that Nj
Tilden cannot carry the softmone,
States of The West and sonth, BIZ
SCENTS point to the election eturns Q
Is5G, u prove that Democratic in
fstionists voted for him 10 1916
when bis opinion on financial ques
tons were as well known as tbey
are now. while it is morally sestsiI
that no representative of the Ohio
idea" eso carry ether of the Easter
States. Fit ia urged that Governo
Tilden has been damaged by the die
closure of the cipher conspiracy, tb
answer is that the Democratic PaEty
has exonerated him of all partici
patton 10 or knowledge of the doing
of PeltoD, Smith, Weed, Marble an
Woo,,ey, and that at toe worst Ties
men were only striving to obtail
what belonged to lie party. Fit II
suggested tbs. Mr.. 4iidsn woal,
blast bis political future by compass
ing The defeat of the Demoerati
party 10 Sew York under any othe
staudard-besref end would cove
himself with infamy, It is answered
that be has no political future il b
fails 90 get the nomination, aud tia
il the Democratic party is beaten II
New York 10 lsss nobody viii b
able TO prove that Goverso- Tildel
raised bis finger against il. IL Ia,
party does not recognize bis claims
which are stsoEger than those an
man ever bsd before him, its leader
cannot certainly expect that be vii
enter into the campaign With al
much zeal and spend bis money a:
freely as though be had q great per
! senal interest 10 the issue Of it.
1t wal, be seen from the above tina.
Mr.. Tilden has at present "a twist
upon the party of which be is bound
TO take sdEsntsge. and thus far Their,
seem to be no way Of escape. FoI
this reason we may expect to sec the
anti Tilden men grow meeker RgC
neeker from this time until the as
sembiing of the nominating conren
ton. and tber they will swallow
their dish OF crow Iae little men and
good Democrats
