SAMUEL

SAMun1a ~ 144sOnn
The Hour, in a very forcible yet tenn
perate article, brings forward Mr..
| Tilden's name as q candidate for the
presidency in 1884. Its arguments are
familiar ones, and have been advanced
BY many democratic papers before.
The Intelligeneer during the last can
vsss Tor the nomination favored DIR.
Tiiden. while not going to the extreme
OF say ing that he raj the only man that
could be elected. The very slim major
ity against Gen. Hancock. and that pro.
cured by the ~trsachery in New York
City OF the man who was placated by
the rejection of Mr.. Tllden. proves that
our position vas the correct one. We
believe that Samuel j. Tilden 10 the
greatest American statesman now liv-
iug-she brainiest and the bravest. We
do not think he ever swindled in q rail-
road or any other private transaction /;
or that he had any scorrups knowledge
OF completely In cypner dispatches. We
firmly and sincerely believe that his
cha, acter has been Iassailed In both
these respects by a syndicate OF liars. 1t
is the m,stortune Of our politics (maybe
not peculiarly of ours) that no mans
character is safe from attack who be-
comes q candidate for Office; and OF all
the manufacturers OF Islander none have
been 70 bold, so virnlent aud 8 unre-
ienting as the New York Tribune, MIR.
Gould's organ. Mr.. Tilden has been
the most able and valiant smasher Of
rings that this country has ever produc-
ed. hence the opposition to him by cer-
tain manipulators of syndlcates and
rings. .,oi,If
I, While, our opinion Of Mr.. Tilden 10 -
here stated, II is useless to concesl the
tact that there are many, very many
good democrats who think differently-
they believe him to Do vulnerable.
There il one way to settle this point;
and so Tar as we see only one. Lst Mr..
Tilde1 become q candidate for governor
Of New York next year In that can
vass he would have the opportunity to
sweep ous Of existence the slandersio OF
his eune1liss.1 ln,hisi election he would
