TIIiOBNa VINDICATION.
Mr. Manton Marble, former editor
of the New York World, and a very
special friend of Mr. Tilden, has
written a long and interesting letter
to the New York Sun in defence of
bis chief. It is understood that the
arguments and facts are Mr. Tilden's,
although the scribe is Mr. Marble.
TheTdefence' will possibly create a
good deal of disoussion. It is not
improbable that it may lead to angry
words. We will" not Undertake to
ay that Mr. Tilden's defence is com
plete, but we may -say that it is ex
tremely plausible, and is fortified by
telegrams that show him to have
been not only prompt " but firm and
determined in the maintenance of
l.u rJcrhta. The following are some
a aw j
of the telegrams:
To the argument of haste Mr. Tilden re
plied: ' " J . ,
"There is time enough. It is a month
before the count. It had best be used, all
of it, in making the people and their agents
fully acquainted with their riguis ana au
ties." 1
To the statement that the Senate commit
lee would not delay ; for this to present
their bill, with the unanimous approval of
' its three Democratic members, to the Ile
publican Senate, Mr. Tilden replied:
"It is a panic of pacif actors. They will
act in haste and repent at leisure."
To Mr. Hewitt's representation of the
danger of a cotlision of force with the Ex
ecutive, Mr. Tilden replied:
"Nevertheless, this action is too precipi
tate. The fears of collision are exaggera
ted And why surrender now? , You can
always surrender. That is all you have to
du after being beaten. , Why surrender be-
fore the battle, for fear of having to surren
der after the battle is over? J
"VVith both the vital points left at loose
ends you cannot succeed. You cannot
'. afford to concede, and you can exact (1) the;
'selection of good men to compose the tri-
bunal, which is the controlling point, and
(2) the nature of the function to be per
formed by the tribunal, which is next in
importance. 1
"Fix these two points good men, ex
plicit powers and you might possibly get
through. Leave them doubtful and it is
happy-go-lucky the shake of a dice box."
The scheme which Mr. Hewitt had
brought contained in its first draft a pro
vision by which six Judges were to be de
scribed in the act, one of them then to be
-ETtminated bv lot. To this Mr. Tilden's
objection was peremptory. Said he:
"I may lose the Presidency, but I will
not raffle for it." ; !
The generally cautious Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun says that the defence will excite
surprise in many quarters. He says
of Mr. Tilden's course, which some
how does not dovetail very well with
the above telegrams: j
"It is well known that' Mr.Tilden invited
some of the leading Democrats to visit New
York in November, 1876, on the eve of the
meeting of Congress. They went there.ex
pecting to find some plan of action either
matured or prepared for consideration. To
their astonishment Mr. Tilden had no defi
, uite or indefinite proposition to offer, and
no plan of any kind appeared to be formed
in bis mind. ... j I 1
"He had a vague hope that Mr.Conkling,
Gen. Butler, Mr. Drexel, the banker, and
others, who from their position in the Re
publican party, or their personal L relations
with Gen. Grant, would, be able to exert
, such an influence at Washington as to pre
vent the consummation of the conspiracy
iu Congress, s At that time he certainly did
not suggest any mode of unifying Demo
cratic action or confronting the Republican
leaders with a settled - and positive pro
gramme of policy which would draw the
line distinctly between the two parties,and
enable public sentiment to crystalize on one
or the other." . i ,
silent.
.1" !,'''
UUUIIl tun
this statement of his attitude and show that
his views were expressed with a plainness
of speech and clearness of purpose for
which he has not received credit j in any
Quarter, completely disproving thei charge
that tbe Democrats in Congress were
.obliged to act in ignorance of his plans or
wishes, ilia suggestions are prompt, curt
and to the point, and his instructions are
marked by a decisiveness and fighting
spirit that utterly dissipate the suspicion
that he was timid in the assertion of his
claims. If there was indecision! at this
point, it is plain that the responsibility does
not rest with Mr. Tilden. He had no parr
in the Electoral Commission, and! did his
best to make a straight-out fight for the
Presidency." ' I
The times wero extraordinary, and
... . i I
tViPTft was rreat apprehension felt

that Grant would undertake to over
throw the government. We all know

and mediation was accorded. The respon

their shoulders, and theiif shoulders are

one of the extremest of Radical pa-

South really only so far as it can' be
used as an instrument to fasten Grant
ism and its horrors upon the country?
Is it not patent to all that such pa
pers are watching the growth of new
parties in the South in the hope that
it will so split up the Democratic par
ty as to restore the Radicals to pow
er ? He is indeed a blind man who
r r . : ....
cannot see this.
If you doubt this read the last para
graph in the Press's editorial:
"On the whole enough has transpired to
nuzzle the Tilden . slate-makers over the
coming Congressional elections. There is

How much influence

fortunes in the future - we cannot un
dertake to say. That he will have
many strong backers in the North
for the nomination in li $80, isj almost
certain. We do not be ieve that the

body is willing that he should enjoy?
to the end of his days, the distinction
of being the only American who was
elected President of the United
States and defrauded of that exalted
office. Beyond this the Democraoy
cannot afford to go. The South, in
particular, only assented to the nom
ination of Mr. Tilden as a necessity,
and has had more than jenough of
him.1 We must have, as the next
Democratic candidate, a man of large
ability, lofty character, pure record
and game to the backbone; one who,
