SAMUEL ]. TILDEN STARTS THE BALL WITH A
FEW REMARKS.
The democratic campaign in the state Of New
York was formally opened In New York last
night by very largely attended meeting at the
Academy OF Music over which Hon. Samuel J.
Tlden presided. Mr.. Ttlden was enthusiast
cally applauded, and on taking the chair. said:
l thank you, my fellow Citizens for the cordial
ity of this greeting. have come down this eve
ming from my country home to join with you
In expressing and declaring the purpose OF
the democracy Of New York In sustaining the
nomination of Hancock. / have come under
stipulation OF your committee, In conSe-
quence Of my hoarseness of voice, that
! would not pe expected to make a speech.
What l have to say, therefore, wifi be but
briefly to touch upon two points. The welfare
OF the people OF the United States demands
change in the administration of the federal
government. Reform Is necessary to remove
the abuses which have grown up during twenty
years OF continuous power, prolific of false
principles and bad councils. The republican
party, sitting its conscience, has made itself re-
sponsible for the intrusion, under color OF
law, to the chief maglstracy OF our great re-
public OF 5O.oOO.Oo0 OF people, man who was
not elected by the people. They have set an ex-
ample which, unless condemned by the people,
ana signally condemned, too, will Subvert
we are SO proud, aud substitute In its place a
rule and dynasty Of office-holderS, holding over
against the win of the people. The complete
overthrow owe , OF the republican party in the cleo
t1on OF 1850 will be retributiye judgment and
Will prevent repetition hereafter Of the crime
OF 1876 against the sovereignty of the people.
