administration under the demorasi-
sing influence Of intestine war and
of bad finance have infected the
whole governmental system of the
United States with the cancercus
growths of false construction and
corrupt practices. Powerful classes
have acquired pecuniary interests in
official abuses and the moral stan.
dards of people have been impair
ed. To redress these evils is q
work of great difficulty and labor,
and cannot be accomplished with
out the most energetic and efficient
personal action on the part of the
Chief Executive Of the Republic
The canvasses and the administra-
tion, which it is desired ! should
undertake, would embrace period
of nearly five years. Nor con /
admit my illusion as to their buzz
dens. Three years Of experience
in the endeavor to reform the ma-
nicipal government of the city Of
New Pork. and two years Of expe-
! rience in renovating the administra-
ton Of the State of New York,
have made me familiar with the re-
quirements OF such work.
AT the present time the consider
atoms which induced my action in J.
1880 have become imperative. i
ought not to assume a task which
have not the physical strength to
carry through. To reform the ad-
ministration Of the Federal Govern
ment, realize my own ideal and to.
fulfill the just expectations Of the
people, would indeed warrant az
they could alone compensate, the .
sacrifices which the undertaking
would involve. But in my condi-
i on of advancing years and declin-
ing strength, / feel no assurance Of
my ability to accomplish those oh
jects. / am therefore constrained
to say, definitely, that I cannot now
assume the labors Of on administra-
ton and of = candidate and Of 4
canvass, underwriting in no wise
that the best gift of heaven, the oc-.
casion and the power, is sometimes
bestowed upon mere individual to
communicate an impulse for good.
Grateful beyond all words to my
fellow countrymen who would as
sign such e beneficent function to
me, I am compelled by the redec-
ton that neither the Democratic
party nor the republic, for whose
future that party is the best guar
antee, is now ever can be- depend
emit upon any one man for their sue
cessfuf progress in the path Of 20,
BILE destiny.
Having given to their welfare
whatever of health and strength
possessed or could borrow from the:
future, and having reached the
term Of my capacity for such labors
as their welfare now demands, Il
hut submit to the will of God in
deeming my public career forever
closed. SAML. J. TILDEH.

A Defamation of the Democratic
Nomination for the
Presidency.
Aduancing Years and Feeble Health
Urged as Reasons for His
Wit1.d,'aaval FROM

Public Life.
New YORK, June 11.-The fol.
lowing communication from Samu.
ell J. Tilden has been given to the
Associated Press:
NEW YORK, June 10, lss4.-To
Daniel Manning, Chairman of the
Democratic State Committee Of
New York: In my letter June 18,
1880, addressed to the delegates
from the State of New York to the
Democratic National Convention, I
said:
"Having now borne faithfully my
full share of labor and care in the
public service and wearing the
marks Of its burdens, l desire moth
ing so much as an honorable dis
charge. | wish to lay down the
honors and tolls even quasi-party
leadership and to seek the repose Of
private life."
In renouncing nomination for
the Presidency, I do so with no
doubt in my mind as to the vote Of
the State of New York or of the
United States, but because / be-
lieve that it is remuneration Of a
reelection to the Presidency. To
those who think my denomination and
reelection indispensable to an eff
fectual vindication of the right of
the people to elect their rulers, vio-
lated in my person, I have accorded
as long a reserve Of my decision as
possible; but / cannot overcome my
repugnance to enter a new engage
ment, which involves four years Of
ceaseless toll. The dignity of the
Presidential office is above a mere
ly personal ambition, but it creates
in me no illusion. It's value is as
a great power for good to the coun-
try.
/ said four years ago, in accept
ing the nomination, knowing as l
do and speaking therefore from ex-
how great the difference
is between gliding through an Off
cial routine and working out the
form Of systems and policies, it is
impossible for me to contemplate
what needs to be done in the Fed
eral administration without an anx-
ious sense of the difficulties of the
undertaking. If summoned by the
suffrages of my countrymen to at
tempt this work I shall endeavor
with Gods help to be the efficient
instrument of their will.
Such a work or renovation after
many years of misrule, such a re-
form of systems and policies to
which I would cheerfnlly have sac
rifced all that remains to me of
health and life, is now, | fear, be-
yond my strength. My purpose to
withdraw from further public SER
vice, and the grounds of it we're at
that time well-known to you and
others; and when, at Cincinnati,
though respecting my wishes your
you communicated to me an
appeal from many valued friends,
to relinquish that purpose, / reiter-
ated nv determination uncondition-

since elapsed nothing has occurred
to weaken but everything ia
strengthen the consideration which
induced my withdrawal from public
life. To all who have addressed
me on the subject, my intention has
been frankly communicated. Sew
eral of my most confidential friends
under the sanction of their own
names, have publicly stated my de-
termination to be irreversable.-
That I have occasion now to con.
slider the question, is an event 70,
which ! have no responsibility
The appeal made to me by the De.
mocratie masses, with apparent
unanimity, to serve them once more,
is entitled to the most deferential
consideration, and would inspire a
disposition to do anything desired
Of me if it were consistent with my
judgment Of duty.

kind for good or evil as the govern
mental machinery for administering
justice, and for making and execu-
ting the laws. Not all the elemo-
synary institutions ofprivate benev-
olence to which philanthropists may
devote their lives, are so fruitful in
benefits as the rescue and preserva-
ton Of this machinery from the per-
versions that make it the instrument
of conspiracy, fraud and crime
against the most sacred rights and
interests Of the people. For fifty
years as a private citizen, never
contemplating an official career, I
have devoted at least as much
thought and effort to the duty of in
Auencing Alright the action Of the
governmental institutions of my
country as to all other objects. I
have never accepted official service
except for a brief period for spe-
cial purpose, and only when the &C.
casion seemed to require from me
that sacrifice of private preferences
to the public welfare. #
undertook the State administra-
ton of New York because it was
supposed that way only could the
executive power be arrayed on the
side of the reforms to which as a
private citizen, I had given three
years Of my life.
I accepted the nomination for
the Presidency in 1876 because of
the general conviction that my can
didacy would best present the issue
of reform which the Democratic ma
jority of the people desired to have
worked out in the Federal Govern
ment as it had been in the State of
New York I believed that I had
strength enough then to renovate
the administration of the Govern
ment of the United States, and at
the close of my term to hand over
the great trust to a successor faith
full to the same policy. Being an
xious to seek the repose of private
life. I nevertheless acted upon the
idea that every power is q trust and
involves a duty. In reply to the

way done much to alleviate the misery
Of brutss who might otherwise have

Miss Welton, who was frozen to death
while ascending . mountain in the West,
bequeathed the society 100000, and
now another maiden lady, Miss Assig,
who always had q weakness for dogs,
has committed suicide on the continent
and left $4,000 of effects to the society.

believe how much misery in the human

the brute, to remember their fellow man.

THERE II considerable wholesome
magnetism in the address of the Demo-
cratic national committee, the major
portion Of which Is printed elsewhere.
Tho warning voice Is raised against the
frauds perpetrated by Republicans
acting under the guise of deputy mar.
shals, the successful practice Of which
enabled the Republicans to save Ohio by
. narrow majority. The address
distinctly defines the duties Of these
officials, what manner of men they shall
be, and how far their authority extends
in cases where voters right of suffrage
isin dispute. The address Is very
timely one, and Is intended to meet the
desperate measures contemplated by the
Republicans In New Jersey, Indiana and
Connecticut. They will find Demo.
cracy f0rwarned and forearmed. 1t is
unQuestionably the sentiment Of the
country that the Republican party
must 90. and fraud will not be permitted

the light has been an abomination
and desolation-an abomination in its
binding effulgence and desolation in

presume that IL still entertains it. But
1t thinks now that the company which
has thus afflicted Lancaster is as good

inherent in the light which,
Notwithstanding its Internal mean
ness, is better than the still
meaner gas or gasoline. We cannot be
induced to defend the gas or gasoline of
our town. They are not good /; but then
they cost little, comparatively and what
light they give they give constantly /;
and they do not blind one with their
glare, II it does take candle sometimes
to find them. AL these are advantages,
especially the cheapness. When we pay
twenty thousand year or so for a
light we ought to have it. Not having
the bump of hopefulness and trust
developed sufficiently to expect that a
