New York, June 11.—The following letter
from Samuel J. Tilden has been given to
the Associated Press:
New York, June 10,1884
To Hon. Daniel Manning, Chairman erf the
Democratic ffiate Committee of Merc York:
In my letter of June 18,1880, addressed to
the delegates from the State of New York
to the Democratic National Convention, I
said:
“Havliighow borne faithfully my full
share in the labor and care in the public
service, and wearing the marks of its bur
dens, I desire nothing so much tis an hon
orable discharge; I wish to lay down the
honors and toils of even quasi party leader
ship and to seek the repose of private life.
In renouncing there nomination for the
Presidency I do so with no doubt
in my mind as to the as to the vote of
New York or of the United States, but
because I believe that It is a renunciation
of re-election to the Presidency, To those
who think my renomination and re-election
Indispensable to an effoefcu&l vindication of
the right of the people to elect their rulers,
violated in my person, I have accorded as
long a reserve of my decision as possible
but I cannot ovorcome my repugnance to
entering into a now engagement which fn-
Vtilves four years of ceaseless toil.
THE PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE.
“The dignity of the Presidential office Is
above merely personal ambition, but it
creates in me no illusion. Its value is as a
great power for good to the country, as I
said four years ago in accepting the nomi
nation. Knowing as I do, therefore, from
fresh experience how great the .difference
is between gliding through an official
routine and working out a reform of systems
and policies, It is impossible tor me to con
template what needs to be done in the Fed
eral administration without an anxious
sdnse of the difficulties of the undertaking.

trymen to attempt this work I shall en
deavor with God’s help to be the efficient
instrument of thoir^vill. Such a work of
renovating after many year ofsu hare-
from of systems and pvmuiea to which I
would cheerfully have sacrificed all that-
remained to me of health and life, is now,
I-fear, beyond mystrength.”
My purpose to withdraw from further
public service, and the grounds of It, were
at that time well known to you and to oth
ers, and when at Cincinnati, though respect
ing my wishes yourself, you communicated
tb me an appeal from many valued friends
to relinquish that purpose, I reiterated my
determination unconditionally.
THE PAST FOUR YEARS.
In the four years which have since olaps-
cd nothing has occurred to weaken, but
everything to strengthen the consideration
which prompted my withdrawal from pub
lic life. To all who have addressed me on
the subject my intention has been fairly
communicated. Some of my, morejespeclal
friends, under the sanction of their own
names, have publicly stated my determina
tion to bo irreversible. That I have oc
casion now to consider the question is an
event for which I have no BBsponsibility.
The appeal made to me by the Democratic
masses, with apparent unanimity, to serve
them once more, is entitled to most defer
ential consideration, and would inspire a
disposition to do anything desired of me
if itwero consistent with my judgment of
my duty. I believe there is no instrumen
tality in human society so potential in its
influence upon mankind, for good or evil,
as the governmental machinery for admin
istering justice and for making and execut
ing laws. Not all the eleemosynary insti
tutions or private benevolence to which
philanthropists may devote their livos are
so fruitful in benefits as the roseue and
preservation of this machinery from per
versions that make it the instrument of
conspiracy, fraud and crime against the
most sacred rights and interests of the
people.
FIFTY YEARS IN THE HARNESS.
For fifty years'a private citizen, never
contemplating an official career, I have de
voted at least as much thought and effort
to the duty of influencing a right action of
the governmental institutions of my conn
try as to all other objects. I have never
accepted official service except for a brief
period for a special purpose, and only when
the occasion seemed to require from me
that sacrifice of private preferences to the
public Welfare. I undertook the State ad
ministration of New York because it was
supposed that in that way only could the
executive power bo arrayed on the ride of
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 a general conviction that my
candidacy would best present the issue of
reform which the Democratic majority of
the people desired to have worked out in
Federal Government as it had been in that
of the State of New York.
A STRENGTH WHICH IS Otete.
I believe that I had strength enough
then to renovate the administration of the
government of the United States, and at
the close of my term to hand over the great
trust to a successor faithful t* tho same
policy. Though antioas to seek the repoee
of private life, I nevertheless acted upon
the idea that every power is a trust and
invoves a duty. In reply to the address
of the committee communicating my nomi
nation I depicted the difficulties of the un-
- dertaking, and likened my feelings in en
gaging in it to those of a soldier entering
battle, but I did not withhold the entire
consecration of my powers to the * public
service. Twenty years of continuous
maladministration, under the demoraliz
ing influence of internecine war and of
, bad finance, have infected the whole
■ -
governmental system of the United States
with cancorous growths, false construc
tions! and corrupt practices. Powerful
classes have acquired pecuniary Interest i
in official abuses, and the moral standards
of the people hsvo been impaired. To
reform these evils Is a work of gro&tdifflcul-
tlee Red labor, and cannot be accomplished
without the most energetlo and efflotenf
and personal action on the part of the Chiet
Executive of tho republic
THE TASK FOB WHICH HB IS UNEQUAL. ,
The canvass and administration which
it la desired that I should undertake would
embrace a period of nearly five years. Nor
can I admit any illusion as their burdons’,
Threo years of experience in endeavoring
to reform the municipal government of the
city of New York and two years of experl]
once in renovating the administration Of
the State of New York have made me
familiar with the requirements of such
work. At the present time the con
siderations which Induced my actions In
1880 have become imperative. I ought not
to assume a task which I have not the.
physical strength to carry through. Tw
Tcform the administration <fc the Federal
Government, to realize my own ideal and
to fulfill the just expectations of the peo:
pie would indeed warrant, os they could
alone compensate, the sacrifices .which th&
undertaking would involve, but in my con
dition of advancing years and declining
strength I feel no assurance of my ability
to accomplish these objects. I am , there
fore constrained to say definitively that I
cannot now assume tho labors of an ad
ministration or of the canvass.
HIS GRATEFULNESS AND RETIREMENT.
Undervaluing in no wise that the best gift
of heaven, occasion and power sometimes
bestowed on a mere individual to oommui-
cate an impulse for good, gra&Mi beyond
all words to my fellow countrymen who
would assign such a beneficent function
to me, I amTconsoled by the reflection .that
neither tho Democratic party nor the rqr
public, for whose future that party is tho
best guarantee, is now or ever can be de
pendent upon any one man for their suc
cessful pj-ogress in the path of noble des
tiny. Having given to their welfare
whatever of health and strength I possess
ed or ccmld borrow from the future, and
having reached the term of my capacity
for such labors as tbeir welfare now de
mands, I but submit to the will of God
in deeming my public career forever closed
Samuel J. Tilden.
flaking a Farm Self (Support
ing:.
The great secret of all successful farm
ing, fcfiyF r«b exchange, is to make the Vdild
produce sufficient for the outlay of capital
and labor, and have a balance; on hand
each year. This is business ana landing
for profit. When a farmer finds that his
land is not paying Interest on the capital In
vested he should take a candid view of the
situation, and ask himself the cause, and
by thus doing ho will arrive at the solu
tion of why farming does not pay or is not
self-supporting. The primal cause he wiH
find is poor land and badly cultivated soil.
There te no use, gentlemen, going through
the mechanical operation of plowing har
rowing and sowing seed on land that .lias
not.got the proper elements for plant foed
to raise a crop. It Is very little use of a
man to buy costly and numerous machines^
as he must at the present' time, to far hi
poor land. The same machinery is only
required to raise 50 bushels to the acre
that would only bring 10 bushels on poor,
undrained and badly kept land. Poor
farms, improperly cultivated and man
aged, won’t pay for the implements and
Labor, and hence cannot.bd self-supporting.
It is a great fallacy tS think afty man oa n
farm and that any man can make money
out ofta farm. Tho greatest diligence must
bo thrown into it. Like every otfreifcaUing
the profits aro Increased according to the
business tact and intelligence of the opera
tor. But there is more certain money in
farming than any other business. The
returns may be slow, but they are sure
and certain, and not only should they, he
self-supporting but by proper manage
ment, a good margin of profit can be had.
Slow to iffiake Pickles,
Nbw is the time to put up cucumbers and
other vegetables tor pickles. Instead of
paying seventy-five cents per gallon for
pickles next winter, you can have all you
wait: at the cost of a little trouble. Place
a layer of sail in tho bottom of a barrel or
keg, then a layer of cucumbers; then i
layer of salt, and so on, until the receptacle
is filled. Then pour in enough water to.
dissolve the salt, hold them under the.
brine, and they will keep for years. To-i
matoes, beaus, okra, cabbage, onions aqdt
various other kinds of vegetables can be
pickled in the same manner, the only cost,
being tho barrel end salt. When you want
to use them, take out what you want, soak)
t hem in cold water to get the salt out
then put in vinegar. Our people
only put up enough pickles for their
use, but could make a nice sum by
them up for sale.

liable to go ragged, hungry and dry for 4,
very long period. And yet the woods ard
full of people who want to be editors.
The platform anounced by the late
Chicago convention is like unto all the pee-,
ceding ones. It contains a profusion off

four years, and, that: has been
promises only to break them
this time, to say that its legislation.
be of benefit to the working man
he country at large, is as absurd at
silly. Nobody is going to believe it.
