piece of composition. No one can read it
without realizing its sincerity, and feeling
the inspiration Of integrity and the noble
purpose which courses through every line.
How, Yer this document may be accepted by
the Democratic parry, it IS certain to in
crease and intensity the esteem in which
Mr. Tildcn is held to warm the
corner in the heart of the great
organization in which he abides
Great always and wise, and far seeing NJ.
Tilden's power and fitness as leader
never appeared to better advantage
han in this letter. And it is
in the completc't sense a justification
of he confidence Icposed in him by his
party. The concluding lines are full of
pathos and are tinged with sentiment
which will move all heels. Having given
to the welfare Of the Der )cratic party and
the Republicans say NJ. TilIen, what

money matters, but strange TO say when lie
