ANOTHER REASON WHY.

u FL " 70 H
New York Sun: In the last. few
months influential newspapers and pub
lie men IN many states have given ex-
preston 10 the wish that Mr., TIlden
might again become the candidate Of
his party. II was no new opinion that
II it were possible for the Democracy
to be strengthened by the use for a
second time of his name, no other name
was 10 be thought of. But the events of
the last three months have made the
minds of thoughtful Democrats revert
with stronger interest to their most
illustr:ous leader.
Tue fierce enthusiasm with which a
part of the Democracy started out in un-
tried paths has been sadly chilled by ex-
perience. Ii becomes evident that the
old economic policy OF the country,
right or wrong, is too stroug to go down
in a day; and even Col. Morrison has
brought In a protectionist tariff bill that
Is likely TO increase the revenue rather
than reduce it! This shows sad vacll-
latien Of purpose, with more or less
certain apprehension Of fatal division.
The result of passing over the issues
upon which alone tue party could act
unitedly, haYe made and are making
men long for return to safe principles
and n sure leader.
That they shouts look to Mr.. Tllden
was natural, retired from pubic affairs
IS he is. The mention of his name un-
der these circumstances is proof OF
continuing public confidence and re-
gard such ss any man might be proud
OF, and it is much more than that. II
shows that the party is sick of the un-
ceItantIes and cross purposes which
have recently distracted It 1t is proof
that Democrats now appreciate the nee
essity OF entering upon reforms which
are practicable. we 9
Ii is q splendid though an Insufficient
recompense to Mr. TiIden for past ser
vice That in times of doubt and danger
the party inst:nctively turns TO him II
the Democracy is to succeed in the con.
test that is now so near at hand. II will
succeed because it again asserts the
principles which he represented In
