A Letter From Mr.. TiIdan-

Hon. Samuel ]. Tilden has written a letter
In response to resolutions presented to him
from the Democratic National Convention.
Like everything that comes from his pen the
letter is statesmanlike and sound in style and
matter. He declares that the supreme need
OF the country is reform in the methods of
government, the restoration of truer princi-
SirSa' .Hfi'ublic action and stricter standard
ofpublic morality. This reform cannot come
from the Republican organization under
which the evils demanding correction have
grown up. 1t can be hoped for only through
the expulsion of that party, corrupted by a
long abuse of power, and the welfare of the.
country requires the election of the Demo-
cratic candidates for President and Vice Pres

He called her from this earthly clay,
Come home and cling redeeming love.

Therefore, prepare to follow me.
