A Graphic Contrast Between the Dem ocratic and Republican Parties Drawn by a Master Hand. New York, Oct. 7. In response to the resolutions presented to him from the National Democratic Con vention, Samuel J. Tilden has written the following letter: Graystone, Oct. 6, 1884. Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee : I thank yon for the kind terms in which you have communicated you nave communicatee me resolutions concerning me adopted by the late Democratic National Conven tion. I share your conviction that reform in the administration of the Y I I M I I reaerai government, wnicn is our great National want, is indeed essen tial to the restoration and preset-va tion of the government itself and can ouiy ueaomcvcn uirougn me agency of the Democratic party, and by in- 1-1 u: j . i. i. .t suuiiug us representative in ineumei - . ... ... a,i . i Magistracy of the United States. The noble historic record of the Democrat ic party, the principles in which it was educated, and to which it has ev er been in the main faithful, its free dom from corrupt influences which grew up in prolonged possession of power, and the nature of the elements which constitute it all contribute to qualify it for that mission. The opposite characteristics and conditions which attach to the Repub lican party, make it hniieless to ex pect that that party will be able to give a better government than a de basing system of abuses which, during its ascendency have infected its offi cial and political life in this country. The Democratic party had its origin in the efforts of the more advanced patriots of the revolution to resist per version of our Koverment from the ideal contemplated by the people. Among its conspicuous founders were jjemainin r raiiKiiu ana 1 nomas uei- ii w i ! i mi w ! I ferson, Samuel Adams and John Han- cock, of Massacusetts ; George Clinton and Robert Livingston, of New York, George Wythe and James Madison, of Virginia. From the election of Mr. Jefferson aS President in 1800, tor 60 years the Democratic party mainly directed our national policy. It expanded the boundaries of the Republic and laid . a J i the foundation ot our uat onal ques tions while it preserved the limits tions imposed by the Constitution and maintained a simple and pure system ofdomestic administration. On the other hand the Republican party has always been dominated by principles which favored legislation for the benefit of particular classes at the expense of the people. It has become deeply tainted with ahuxei which naturally grew up dti- ; ring a long possession of unchecked T . . . mm, m . mm. m m mm, f I as . m A . . Mm . mm. . I L m-m mm m I power, espevraiiy iu u pti ion 01 civil war and false ti nance. The patriotic and virtuous elements in it are now unable to emancipate it from the sway of selfish interests, which subordinate public duty to personal greed. The most hopeful of the best citizens it contains despair of its amendment ex cept through its temporary expulsion from power. It has been boastiugly asserted by a modern Massachusetts statesman, struggling to reconcile him self aud his followers to their Presi- dential candidate, that the Republican - -- ---- party contains a uipiopoi uonaie onaie a s of the wealth and intelligence of the country. The unprincipled Grafton, when taunted by James II with his personal want of conscience answered: MThnt is true, but I belong to a party that has a great deal of con science." Such reasoners forget that the same claim has been made in all ages and countries by the defenders of old wrongs agaipst new reforms. It was alleged by lories of the Amer ican revolution against the patriots of that day ; it was repeated against Jef ferson, and afterwards against Jack son. It is alleged by conservatives against those who,, in England are now endeavoring to enlarged popular suffrage. All history shows that re forms in government must not be ex pected from those who sit ou the so cial mountain top enjoying, the bene fits of the existing order of things. Even the Divine author of our re ligion found his followers not among the self-complacent Pharisees, but among the lowly minded fishermen. The Republican party, largely made up of those who lire by their wits and who aspire in politics to advantages over the rest of mankind, similar to those whose daily lives are devoted to securing gain iu private business. The Democratic party consists largely of those who live by the work of their hands and whose political action is governed by their sentiments or im agination. It results that the Demo cratic party more readily than the Re publican party can be moulded to the support of reform measures which in - vol ve the sacrifice of selfish iuterests. SALISBURY. V.
