I
Daniel Mnn-G:i, Chairman ot tiic j
DcnMiciMtic Sta'e C'mtiittee of !
New York, in which he reiterates in !
emphatic terms h determination to
withdraw from public life. In this
letter Mr. Ti'.den reviews his public
services, his efforts in behalf of pure
and iust "ovtrnment, and his devo
tion to the cau-e oi reform . It is a
masterpiece of composition. No
one can read it without realizing its
sincerity and ieclinjj the inspiration
ot integrity and noble purpose which
courses through every line. How
ever this document may be accepted
by the Democratic party, it is cer
tain to increase and intensify the
esteem in which Mr. Tilden is held,
to warm the corner in the heart of
j the great organization in which he
abides. Great always, and wise,
and far-seeing, Mr. Tilden's power
and fitness as a leader never appear
ed to better advantage than in this
letter, and it is in the compietest
sense a justification of the confidence
reposed in him by his party. The
concluding lines are lull ot pathos,
are tinged with a sentiment which
will move all hearts. 'Having given

torever closed." These are words
that will live in history."
THh Sl'N'.
The Sun says: "The honor that
if the rich reward of noble services
taithfullv rendered was never bright
er than at this hour. Mr. Tilden
has once been elected President of
the United States. Superior to all
thought of personal ambition, he has
twice declined a re-election and the
years of life that still remain to him
will be made haopy bv accumula
ting acknowledgments ot the nations
I debt of profound gratitude and ven-
eration."
THE TIMES.
The Times says: "It would be
but a slight recognition of Mr. Til
den's motives and of the circum
stances under which his letter is
written to ray that his act is an un
selfish one. It is more than unsel
fish. In the present divided condi
tion of the Republican party it is an
act of great moment and promise.
It removes from the Democratic par
ty a prospective candidacy which it
seemed to desire to consider inevita
ble : a candidacy sure to be welcome
to a large portion of that party, but
obviously not equally acceptable
to the independent vote which the
Democratic party can Bring into al
liance with itself in the coming can
vass.
THE HERALD.
The Herald s;iys: "Mr. Tilden's
candidacy would have been given
especially great prominency in the
canvass to the villainy and corrup
tion of the Republican party and
have made that the h ading issue,
and his name would have had n
overwhelming force as the champion
of the cause of the people against
an official oligarchy determined
to hold on to power at anv price.
For that leason it would have been
well it he could have accepted the
nomination, and we do not believe
that his age would have unfitted him
for a vigorous discharge ot the du
ties of his office. But it it is doubt
ful whether any other candidate can
call out so absolutely the whole vote
i ot the Democratic party, it is certain
that some others, perhaps only a tii
fle less satisfactory to the Democrat
ic opinion, will be a great deal more
satisfactory to a vote that is to be of
much moment m this election the
vote of the independent Republicans.
Consequently Mr. TildcnV refusal
may not prove an unmixed evil xo
the Democrats-"

best men on economic principles,
which includes both the Democratic
and Republican parties' best men.
In the Republican party there are
hosts heading to the old traditions ot
the Whig party, he thought, who fa
vor revenue tariff. In contradiction
to this statement there are hosts ot
the best men in the Democratic party
who lavor protection. In view ot
these two points Mr Stevens believes
that a party without a nominee can
be organized to take in both these
classes, based on economic principles
Mr. Stevens concluded that there is
no national question which now di
vides the two parties and he does not
believe that any question of personal
nominees will enter the campaign.
NEWSPAPER OPPOSITION TO BLAINE.
Newspaper opposition to Blaine
grows stronger daily. Last evening
The Post, which bitterly opposes him,
printed a list of the independent and
Republican papers which are openly
committed against him. It now
stands: New York Times, New
Tersev and Nevada are now in the
hands of the democracy with good
working majorities, not to mention
Ohio with its 23 votes, which state
is in the hands ot the democracy and
is a decided advantage in a close
contest.

publicans, with California, Connec
