TIE TIMES AND THE REPUBLICANS or
TIE INTERIOR.

Ever since election The New- York Iimes has
contained most atrociOus ana entirely unpro-
voked hbcls on the Republican5o of the interior OF
tbis State. II il commonly supposed that New
York has no more reputable citizens than those
that have their homes in the Mohawk ana
Genesee valleys, along the great southern ter
or in st. Lawrence and the counties OF the
northern secrion. But The Times has
given its readers to understand that these men
and their brethren Of New-YOrk's country dis
tricts so far from being worthy OF confluence
are unmiticatcd scoundrcls. II has wAn;only at
TEMPTED to drag these honest ana unimpeachea
Republicans down to its own level by charging
that a conspiracy was on foot having tor It's oo-
iect the Justification of the election returns
from the INTERIOR and that not Democrats, Dut
Republicans, were the cOnspirGtors.
Itls an absolutely inexcusablc outrage. And
thc fact that The Tim has perpetrated 1t know
inc il TO be just that, shows how exceedingly
anxious il il to commend itself to Barnum,
Manning and its other new Democratic
masters. Its vile accusations have no other
foundation than the gIatuitous assertion
that returns from the interior nave peeh
held back. 1t has labored to produce
the impression that such returns at pre-
vious Presidential elections have arrived
earlier. 1t is only necessary to turn to
n file of The Times to prove that these are
utterly false, preposterous prctenceS. Four
years AGO the Presidential election was held
Tuesday. November 2. Three days atter~drd
the following dispatches appeared in Tie
Times:

WILLIAM II. TEFFr. Editor Chronicle.
On the sarnc day The Times prefaced a table
of New York maiorities with this remark
Later returns the counties in New-fork make the
majority for Garfield and Arthur 81 1855.
On Saturday, November g, tOM days after

In the light OF tls evidence, there can only
be one opinion Of The limess attack up
on the Republicans Of the interior. SO far
from the returns being held back this year, they
have been sent forward with unusual prompt
hess. One would suppose from the talk of The
Times that at previous Presidential eer-
lions everybody was in possession Of all the
figures from all the counties the day after cleo
ton. But we have shown by referring
to The I mess own columns that returns
kept coming into its Office from all over the
State for four or five days after the Presidential
elcctlono of 1850, and that six days after Garfield
had been chosen it was still revising its New
York table according to the latest returns"
This year The Times has tried to blacken the
character of Republicans of stainless integrity,
has tried to render the metropolis ripe for
bloody riot. because, forsooth, all the returns
had not reached its Office the second or third
day after this election.
There is no meaner or more disgraceful chap
ter in the history of American newspapers
The Times in these attacks upon the men who
have heretofore sustained it, and whom it hates
because II betrayed them, touches the lowest
depth
