iu loudon mr tildeu made it a rule not to ... it to dinner parties both because he valued his own health and because the parliamentary session was then near its close and the members were very busy ami really unable to spare the time for iill'airs it was these gentlemen he was especially anxious to meet he had tu make several exceptions however to this i lie tin most notable one being to untn mr v k forster's where he met the marquis of hart iugton and many other well-known libei il statesmen he also became acquainted with some uf ihe con set vative chiefs and so learned both sides of british

english tildens mr bigo low said were found thoroughly acquaint ed with their american kinsman's career and took great pride in bim as also did tlieir neighbors mr tilden himself spoke quite enthusiastically of his visit to this section of england and said it w.is one ot the plcasantest of the many pleasant re collections he had brought with hint ai t'i leaving there they started for the french capital lirst they attended m thiers funeral joining in the procession which followed the remains to the grave tbey remained in paris three weeks mr tilden taking a course of gymuastic exer

manner were g&mbetta louis blanc grevy and others "' ic republican party the elections to cchamber of deputies were then tho absorbing topic and the french lead c'r8 spoke freely of their plans and pros gambetta mr tilden said is 1 the most fascinating men i ever hand i have not the least doubt that be believes ardently in republican insti *• and that he is more anxious to tobluli them firmly in the hearts of the 11 ,;''!: people so that they must be be fi to after generations than to either lame pr position for him governor tilden thought that the mac i'tiun government had done its very ut "'""' '" force the republicans to some ""'" revolutionary act which would suf ll'ils tut excuse lor using the most op ' v measures against ihem that lng had been done in the way of a li of tho peace with all the provoca 0,1 that had been given showed the fla niiiable self-control of the republican party which no doubt would have its reward that the mass of the french ; people were firm believers in a republican government lie considered proven by the ! result of the elect ions the government ' used till of its enormous power to secure i ■i i the election of its candidates excepting i the falsification of the returns he said j with some bitterness they may get to \ that at the next opportunity and if so j there is no telling what may happen as to what would be done when thc new ! chamber meets be would not hazard a guess the republicans he was convinced ; were prepared to submit to a good deal to avoid a conflict still it might come to thc point where force would have to decide i whether the country is to have a constitu tional government or be subject to the arbitrary rule of one man in which case no one could foretell the result whether the army under macmahon's direction would crush the people or the people crush the army a ringing speech from cov tilden on saturday evening gov tildeii was serenaded by the voung men's democratic association of new vork he made an off-hand speech of great excellence from which we extract the following embrac ing its features : the elect inn although for state ollicers has illations to national politics to which 1 know you will expect me to allude the ] condemnation by the people of the great est political crime in our history by i a hieh the result of the presidential elec tion of ls7 was set aside and reversed is general and overwhelming a voice we know you got robbed mr tildeii excitedly i did uot get robbed the people got robbed cheers i li;nl before me on one side a course of laborious services on wliich health and even life might be periled and on the other a period of relaxation and case but to the people it was ii robbery of the j dearest rights of american citizens ap j pluuse and cries of that's so !" that's ' ! so from the crowd • * the de | claration of independence the bill of j rights aud the state constitutions all con [ j lain assertions of the right of the people i to govern themselves and to change tlieir ' rulers at will these declarations had i ceased to have any meaning to the ameri j can mind they seemed to be truisms which there was nobody to dispute the contests known to us were contests be | tween different portious of our people to comprehend the significance of these declarations it is necessary to carry our selves back to the examples of human ex perience in view of which our ancestors i acted they had seen the governmental j machine and a small governmental class sometimes with the aid of the army able to rule arbitrarily over millions of unor j gauized isolated atoms of human society j in forming the < rovernineut of the uuited states they endeavored to take every pre j caution againsi the recurrence of such j evils in this country they kept down ; the standing army to.-t nominal amount i they intended to limit the functions of the federal government so as to prevent the growth to dangerous dimensions of an office-holding class and one of corrupt influences they preserved the state i government as a counterpoise to act tis centres of opinion and as organized means ! of resistance to revolutionary iiurpation by the federal government jefferson the leader of liberal opinion in bis first inaugural recognized this theory hamil ton the representative of the extreme conservative sentiment in the federalist expounded it with elaborate arguments madison the father of the constitution enforced these conclusions a voice how about the returning board .' mr tildeii — there were no returning boards in those days the people elected their own presideut and there were no louisiana and florida returning boards to rob them of their rights several voices let's have the elec tion over again we want a fair show • go for tin agaiu !" mr tildeii the increase of power in the federal ( iovernment during the hist twenty years the creation of a vast office holding class with its numerous depen dents and the growth of the means of corrupt influence have well nigh destroy ed the balance of our complex system it wtis my judgment in 1876 that public op inion den iand ing a change of administra tion needed to embrace two-thirds of the people tit the beginning of the canvass in order to cast a majority of votes at the election if this tendency is not arrested it inevitable result will lie the practical destruction of our system let the federal government grasp power over the great corporations of our country ami acquire the means of addressing tlieir interests iiiii their f.-ars let if take jurisdiction of riots whieh it is the duty of the state to suppress let it find pretexts for iucreas i iug the army and soon those in posses | sion ofthe government will have a pow i er with wliich no opposition can success fully compete applause the exper ience of prance under the third napoleon shows that witli elective forms ami uni versal suffrage depostism can be estab lished and maintained in the canvass ot 1870 the federal government embark ed in the contest with unscrupulous ac tivity a member of the cabinet was the head ofa partisan committee agents stood iit the doors of the pay officers to exact contributions from official subordi nates ihc whole office-holding class were made to exhaust their power even the army for the lirst time to the disgust of the soldiers and many of the ollicers were moved about the country as an elec tioneering instrument all this was done under the eye of the beneficiary of it who was making the air vocal with professions of civil service reform to be begun after he bad himself exhausted all the immoral advantages of civil service abuses pub lic opinion in some states was overborne j by corrupt influences and by fraud but j so strong was the desire for reform that the democratic candidates received 4,'l!j0 [ quo suffrages this was a majority of i the popular vote of about 300,01)1 and of 1,250,000 of the white citizons it was a vote 700,000 larger than general graut i received in 1872 and 1,300,000 larger than lie received in ldtid for all tbat the rightfully elected candidates of the dem ocratic party were counted out and a great fraud triumphed whieli the american peo ple have not condoned and will never condone prolonged applauseand cheers yes the crime will never be condoned and it never should be i do not denounce the fraud as effecting my personal inter ests but because it stabbed the very foun tains of free government loud cheers 1 swear in the presence uf you all and i call upon you to bear witness t the oath to watch during the remainder of my life over the right of the citizens of our coun try with ti jealous care such a usurpa tion must never occur again anil 1 call upon you to unite with ine in ti.e defense of our sacred and precious inheritance the government of the people must not be suffered to become only an empty name loud applause the step from an extreme degree of corrupt abuses in the elections to a subversion of the elec tive system itself is natural no sooner was the election over than the whole pow er of the office-holding class led by a cabinent minister was exerted to procure and did procure from the state canvassers of two states illegal and fraudulent cer tificates which were made a pretext for a false count of the electoral votes to enable these officers to exercise the im moral courage necessary to the parts as signed to them and to relieve them from the timidity which god litis implanted in the human bosom as a limit to criminal audacity detachments of tlie army were sent to afford them shelter the expedients by which tlie votes of tiie electors chosen by the people of these two states were rejected and the votes of the electors having the illegal and fraudu lent certificates were counted and tiie menace of usurpation by the president of the senate of dictatorial power over till the questions in controversy and the menace of the enforcement of his pre tended authority by the army and navy the terrorism of the business classes and the kindred measures by which the false count was consummated are known the result is the establishment of a precedent destructive of our whole elective system applause the temptation to those in possession of the government to perpet uate their own power by similar methods will always exist and if the example shall be sanctioned by success the suc cession of government in this country will come to be determined by fraud or force as it litis been in almost every other conn try t and the experience will be reproduc ed here which litis led to the general adop tion ofthe hereditary system iu order to avoid confusion and civil war the magnitude of a political crime must in measured by its natural and necessary consequences our great republic bas been the only example in the world of a regular and orderly transfer of govern mental succession by the elective system to destroy the habit of traditionary respect for the will of the people tis declared through tlie electoral form and to exhib it our institutions as a failure is the great est possible wrong to our country it is also a heavy blow tothe hopes of patriots struggling to establish self-govern ment in other countries it is a greater crime against mankind than the usurpation of december 2 1851 depicted by tin illus trious pen of victor hugo the ameri can people will not condone it under any pretext for any purpose cheers voting men ! in the order of nature we who have guarded the sacred traditions of our free government will soon leave that work to you within the life of most who hear me our republic will embrace a hun dred millions of people whether its institutions shall be preserved in stib stanceor barren forms and will continue to be i blessing to the toiling millions here and i good example to mankind now everywhere seeking a larger share iu the management of their own affairs will de pend on you will you accomplish that duty and mark these wrong-doers of 1s7 with the indignation ofa betrayed wrong ed and sacrified people ? a voice — vou bet we will laughter i have no per sonal feeling but thinking how surely that example will be followed if condoned 1 can do no better than to stand among you and do battle for the maintenance of free government i avail myself of the occasion to thank you and to thank all our state ami country who have accord ed to me their support not personal to myself but for the cause i have repre sented and which has embraced the larg est and holiest in interest of humanity continued applause got his reward on the 26th august after making some comments upon mr stoughton's reply so called to judge black's terrible article on tlie electoral commission we said we venture the prediction that in less than ninety days from the appearance of stoughton's article he will be appointed to ti high and honorable position by mr hayes mark the prediction that the observer can sometimes tell what is going to happen iis well as what has happened though not by any means iu mr hayes confidence any one who doubts may see for himself by reading in our telegraphic colums this morning the announcement that mr hayes has ap pointed mr stoughton minister to russia lint we take no credit to ourselves for the prediction for any man who helped hayes to be president in spite of the shortness of votes cast for him is sure of his reward mr stoughton was one of the new orleans visiting statesmen was of counsel for mr hayes before the com mission and then put himself up to be slapped over by judge black and of coins he must come iu for something handsome bal observer the negro speakers who are going through the country fooling and hum bugging the negroes about going to libe ria should be looked after by
