Moo YORK, April 20, 1870. /
am more and more impressed, cz
time flies on, with the greatnis and |
patriotism NV Sam. j. Tilden, the Great !
Defrauded. His entire devoshun to his |
common kentry, his utter simplissity NV |
caracter, the gilelisnis NV u materially !
simple nacher, which contact with the !
world hez never corrupted, and his !
general child-like trust in the jestis NV
his fellow-men, all combine to make
him man wich TO see is to love, and
wich to be in confdenshal relashuns
with him, in a monetary way, is to be !
supported.
hey bin for several weeks residin at
the Harp NV Erin Tavern, hard by
Grammercy Park, arrangin Kentucky
for the sage NV Moo York. 1t is need
lis to add that | don't pay my own
| board. In the interests NV his common
kcntry, the good Mr., Tilden has the
bill sent to hisself, for he recognizes the
fact that the labrcr for his common
keutry is entitled to his daily bred, and
libral allowance for likker and the
other nessaries NV life. The good Mr..
Iilden hcz ten or dozen patriots NV
my kind at the same place, and life
with us is not altogether gloomy. We
/ all sleep in one room, but there are
three meals day, and unlimited credit
/ at the bar. A man witch cant live on
that is Sybarite wich hez no place In
