Samuel J. Tilden has spoken and in |
unmis'akable language. His letter de-
olining TO be a candidate for the Pfasl.
deney is given in full elsewhere and is
deserving OF aud will receive q careful
reading by every one who takes any in
terest in the national government by
those who win accept his uttsrsnces SIS
the renunoiation by one who Was elected
to the Presidency eight yeArs ago Of an
almost certain vindioAtion Of his rights
at the hands OF his oounirymeu, SIS well
"a by those II there be any such, who
really believe that Hayes was rishtiully
seated aud that the electoral commission
acted honestly and wisely.
The greatness OF this renunoiation
rounds of sloriously the political career
of this remarkable man, That one who
had fairly earned and had been fairly
chosen chief magistrate Of the United
Stst0s man upon whom the American
people had conferred the highest. noblest,
grAndest prize attsiusble by a. American
oiiizsu who, when swindied ont of that
prize by partisan commission, bowed to
the unjust verdict because he felt
that the general welfare Of the
whole people would be othe,wise i'm
perilled that this II an should now,
when the sentiment OF SO large an
element Of his own party aud the dssen-
sions Of HE political opponents render it
almost certain he hsd hut to pnt forth his
hand sn5 accept reelection and con.
demua;ion Of the fraud OF 1876 that he
should nov decline to become the standard
bearer with victory aud Justification in
view marks the greatness OF rsnuue's-
ton almost unparalleled in history.
While thousands OF Mia personal spd
party triends throughout the couniry will
regrg, Ny Tildsr's irrevocat,s dscliua-
tion Of the honor they wished to confer
upou him, yet there is no question hut
that lie mas served his party grsnlly in
making it. H.s Withdrawal from the
field leaves That party free to devote more
attention to The vital issues OF the present
and to nsma another standard bearer
who, while no, less acceptable to Demo
orsls will not, as MF Tildsn would hav,
done, sutaEoniza that large and growing
independent element which the uomins
tiOn OF Blaine hss compelled 20 ies7e tn
Republican party.
