Snbjw*. lo Democratic Nomination.
Mr. Tilden’it Letter.
Wc present it this morning. It is
a grand letter, full of manly, digni
fied defense of his motives and his
actions, which had lioth been assail
ed and maligned, and a complete vin
dication of his course in regard to
the Electoral Commission. The
great wrong of that commission and
its lamentable results, should it not
be rebuked by the voice of the people,
are set forth in concise but powerful
language.
The whole letter is an able compo
sition. It is unselfish, patriotic,
statesmanlike, and deserves to be
come historic. It doubtless will bo,
and stand upon the records of the
nation as a scathing rebuke of the
foulest crime upon its annals.
As to the effect of the letter it would
be hard to speak. It evidently does
not mean to be a complete renuncia
tion of the Presidency, or to convey
the impression that he would not ac
cept if it were thrust upon him. It
hat undoubtedly tended to effect
revolntion of public sentiment in fa
vor of Mr. Tilden. He puts the case
so clearly, so forcibly, aud so unsel
fishly, that it throws a new light up
on the whole matter, and arouses
afresh the popular sympathy for the
man who has been so deeply wrong
ed. It wili tend, also, to re-establish
public confidence in Mr. Tilden’s
ability. None but a great man and
a grand intellect conld have written
such a letter, and it bring* up again
a review of bis record a* an executive
olfirer. and a public reformer. The
brilliant results of his administration
of all public offices to which be has
been relied, are matters of history,
anil reflect the highest credit upon
his patriotism and statesmanship.—
To bring these anew bpforc the pub
lic mind is to awaken a confidence in
his^power, and his fitness for the high
position to which he was elected, and
of which he was so wickedly de
frauded.
Personally, of late we have not fa
vored Mr. Tilden, but his letter has
given us a much higher opinion of
him as a statesman, politician and
We hardly think lie will be nomi
nated. John Kelly is bitter in bis
opposition, and that will render New
York a doubtful Slate. Wc hardly
think Mr. Tilden could rerry it, and
do not look upon his nomination as
Tery probable.

Mr. Tilden Declines—A Grand
Letter.
New Yoiik, June 18,1880.
To the Delegates from the State of
New York to the Democratic Na
tional Convention.
Yunr first assembling is an occa
sion on which it is proper for me to
state to you my relation to the nomi
nation for the Presidency which you
and your assoc iate* are commissioned
to make in behalf of the Democratic
party of tlie United States. Having
passed my early years in an ntmos
{•here filled witli traditions of Hie
war which secured our national in
dependence, and of the struggles
which made our continental system a
government for tlie people and by tlie
people, 1 learned to idolize the iusti
tuliousof iny country, and wa* edu
cated to believe it tlie duty of a citi
zen of tlie republic to take his lairnl
lotment of care and trouble in public
affairs.
1 fulfilled that duty to the best of
my ability for forty years ns a private
citizen. Although during all inylife
giving at least as much thought aud
effort to public affairs as to nil other
objce’.s, I have never acrepted official
service except for a brief period for a
special purpose, and only when occa
sion seemed to require of inc that sa
crifice of private preference lo public
interests.
My life has been substantially Ihnt
of a private citizen. It was, 1 pre
sume, the success of the efforts in
which as a private citizen I had shar
ed to overthrow a corrupt combina
tion then holding dominion in our
metropolis, and to purify the judicia
ry which had become its tool, that in
duced tlie Democrats of that State, in
1874, to nominate me for Governor.
This was done in spite of tlie pro
tests of I ho minority that the parti
lind borne in those reforms had crea
ted antagonisms fatal to me as a can
didnlc. I felt constrained lo accept
the nomination ns tlie most certain
of patting the power of tlie guberna
lorial office on the side of reform and
of removing tlie impression, wtiercv
er it prevailed, that a faithful dis
charge of one's duly as a citizen
fatal to his usefulness as a public ser
vant. Tlie breaking up of Hie canal
ring—the better management of tlie
public works—a large reduction of
taxes and other refor|ns accomplished
during my administration doubtless
occasioned my nomination for the
Presidency by tlie Democrats of the
Union, in hope that similar processes
would lie applied to tlio federal gov
eminent.
From the responsibilities of such
an undertaking, as appalling as it
seemed to me, 1 did not feel at liber
ty to shrink.
' In the canvass which ensued the
Democratic party represented reform
in tlie administration of the federal
government and a restoration of our
complex political system lo tlie pure
ideas of its founders.
Upon these issues the people of the
United States, by a majority of more
Ilian a quarter of a million, chose a
majority ot electors to cast tlieir votes
for Hie Democratic caiiilidiilcs for
President and Vice President.
It is my right anil privilege here lo
say that i was nominated and elected
to the Presidency absolutely free
from any engagement in respect to
the exercise of its powers or the dis
posal of its patronage through
whole period of my relation to
Presidency.
I did everything in my power
to elevate, und nothing to low
er the moral standard In
tlie competition of parties, liy
what nefarious menus tlie basis for a
false count was laid in several of tlie
States, I need not recite. These arc
mailers of history about which what
ever diversity of opinion may have
existed in either of tlie great parties
of tho country at the Itino of their
consummation tins practically disap
peared.
1 refused to ransom front tlie re
turning boards of the Southern States
documentary evidence, by tlie sup
pression of which and by the substi
tution of fraudulent and forged pa
pers, a pretext was made for the per
petration of a false count, and Hie
constitutional duty of the two Houses
of Congress to count tlie electoral
votes ns east, and give the effect to the
will of the people as expressed by
tlieir suffrages, was never fulfilled
An electoral commission, for tlie
existence of which 1 have no respon
sibility, was formed, and to it both
Houses of Cougress abdicated tlieir
duty to make a count, by a law
acting llmt the count of the commis
sion shall stand as final, unless over
ruled by tlie concurrent action of the
two Houses,
Its false count wns not overruled,
owing to the complicity of a Repub
lican Senate witli a Republican ma-
« of tho commission, controlled
Republican majority of eight
lii seven. The electoral commission
limited out men elected by tlie pco-
dc, and counted in men not elected
ly the people.
The subversion of tlie election cre
ated a new issue for the decision ol
the people of the United States, trans
cending in importance all questions
of administration. It involved the
vital principle of self-government,
through election by the people.
The immense growth of the means
of corrupt influence over tlie ballot
box, by which it is at the disposal of
party having possession of the ex
ecutive administration, had already
become a present evil aud great dan
gcr, tending to make the elections ir
responsible to public opinion—ham
pering the power of the people to
change their rulers and enabling men
holding the machinery of the gov
ernment lo continue and perpetuate
tlieir power.
It was my opinion in 187U, Hint tlie
opposition, attempting-to change the
administration, needed to include at
least two-thirds of the voters at the
opening of the canvass in order lo
retain tlie majority at tlie election.—
If. after such obstacles had been over
conic and a majority of tlie people
had voted to change the administra
ion of tlieir government, men in of-
fiec could still procure a false count
foundeil upon frauds, perjury and
forgeries, furnishing a pretext of
elocunicutnry evidence on which to
base that false count, and if such
transaction were not only successful,
but, if, after the allotment of its ben
efits were made lo its contrivers,
abettors and apologists by thu chief
beneficiary of the transactions,
were condoned by Die people, a prac
tical dcstriirliou of elections by t lie
people would have been accomplish
cd.
The failure to install the candidates
elected by tlie people—a contingency
consequent upon no act or omission
of mine and beyond my control, lias
thus left me for the last three years
aud until now, when the Democratic
party by its delegates in national
convention assembled shall choose
new leader—the involuntary but nec
essary representative of this inomen
tons issue.

STILL THE BEST!
As such, denied the immunities of
private life—without Hie powers con
ferred by public station—subject to
unceasing falsehoods and calumnies
from the partizans of an administra
tion laboring in vain to justify Us ex
istence, I have, nevertheless, stead
fastly endeavored to preserve lo tlie
Democratic parly of tlie United
States the supreme issue before tlie
people for tlieir decision next No
vember: whether this shall be a gov
ernment by the sovereign people
through elections, or a government
by discarded servants, holding over
by force and fraud ; and I have with
held no sacrifices and neglected no
opportunity to uphold, organize and
consolidate against tlie enemies of
representative institutions, the great
party which alone, under God, can
effectually resist their overthrow.
Having now borne faithfully my
full share of labor and care in tlie
public service and wearing marks of
its burden, I desire nothing so much
as an honorable discharge.
I wish to lay down the honors and
toils of even quasi parly leadership,
and to seek the repose of private life.
In renouncing a renomiuation for
tlie presidency, I do so with no doubt
in my tnind as to the vote of the
Stale of New York, or of the United
States, but because I believe it is a
renunciation of a rc-cicctiou to the
presidency.
To those who think my nomination
and re-election indispcnsiblc to nn ef
fectual vindication of the right of tlie
people to elect tlieir rulers violated
ill my person, I have accorded as long
n reserve of my decision as possible;
but I cannot overcome my repug
nance to enter into a now engage
ment, which involves four years of
ceaseless toil.
The dignity of the presidential of
fice is above a merely personal am
bition, but it crcntcs in me no illusion.
Its value is ns a great power for good
to the country, ns I said four years
ago in accepting Die nomination ;
“Knowing, as I do, therefore, from
fresh experience how great a difi'er-
eucc there is between gliding through
an official routine 111111 working out a
reform of systems and policies, it is
impossible for tnc to contemplate
what needs lo he done in Hie federal
administration without an anxious
sciiscjof tlie difieultics of tlie underta
king.
If summoned by the suffrages of
my countrymen to attempt this work,
I shall endeavor, witli God’s help, to
lie an efficient instuincut of their
will.”
Such a work of renovation, after
many years of misrule, sucli a reform
of systems and policies, to which 1
would cheerfully have sacrificed all
that remained to me of health nud
life, is now, I fear, beyond my
strength.
Witli unfeigned thanks for the honors
bestowed upon me—with a heart
swelling with emotions of gratitude
to tlie Democratic masses for the sup
port which they have given the cause
I represented, and their confidence ill
cvry emergency, 1 remain, your fol
low citizen,;
