ported an address TO the Democracy OF the
State and nation. The address 6eDlores the
division OF the party in New York, which,
it says, they could not prevent and cannot
heal without sacrificing seIf-respect and the
Democratic cause. "This unhappy divi-
sion," the address says, "results solely
from the determined and persistent efforts
OF samuel j. Tilden TO secure the Demo
cratic nomination 10 the presidency. FOT
this end he has conspired and contrived to
get control OF party organizations, which
be has converted into personal machines
and used in bigh-banded and INSCRIPTIONS
ways, In total disregard OF the wishes OF the
people"

contest between the rilden and anti-Tilder
factions i'm New York, the address, speak
ing for the Democracy Of the Empire State
says: ave protest against the nomination
OF Samuel j. Tilden for the presidency be-
cause he Is unfit for the office, and bis e'ec
ton 10 IL would be a national calamity
because his nomination would defeat anC
disgrace the party beyond recovery, anC
because his nomination would deliver
the country over to another four years
OF Republican extravaganza and mis-
rule. We protest against his DOmina-
tot because his record is not clean
because bis political career has been marked
with sel6shness, tTeachery, and dishonesty
because he has lost the respect, confidence.
and friendship OF many OF the best men in
the party to whom it looks for guidance
because he has damaged the Democracy
more than any other man in the country
because his name Is irretrievably con
nected with an attempt 10 bride elect
ors, and with scandals brought to light
by cypher dispatches; because hun
dreds OF thousands Of Democrats can
not conscientiously vote for him, and bis
nomination would sound the death.koell o.
Democratic defeat. The situation calls FOL
the ablest, wisest, aud best leadership The
party can have. We appeal 10 you TO senC
unpedged delegations OF representative
men who need no instructions to select as
the Democratic standard-bearers men who
will unite the party, inspire public conf
dence, enkindle popular enthusiasm, and
lead to victory"
