How some Democrats Support TlMen
In Jew i-ork. Brooklyn Argus, Dem., Sept. 'SO.
Said a prominent officer in the Tammany
committee to us the other day: "Oh of
course I shall vote for Tilden, but I have
a host of relations who will VOtn for Hayes
or Peter Cooper." Said a prominent Dem
ocrat of Erooktyn to us a few days since:
'Admitting that Grant h.s had corrupt
men in his cabinet, is that not even better
than it would be to have a thief at the
head of the household?" Five-eighths of
the Democrats in the state know that the
reasons why Seymour, Church, West and
O'Conor refused the use of their names as gubernatorial candidates was "because they
had lost confidence in Tilden. The silent
vote against Tilden on election day will be
something never before witnessed . in this
Lmpire state. Vhereiss.S. Cox in this

similar men Ihey are either silent,
opposing Tilden on the stump, or run-
mug opposition to Lim. iwo ot the
above-named gentlemen spoke at a He-
Dublican meeting m this city last week,
and another of them spoke at a Cooper and Cary con ventiou in Albany yesterday.
Specie Payment. Brookb'n Argus. Tilden's Financial Somersault. Tilden is as insincere in his polit
ical expressions as he is in his per
sonal friendships and business obliga
tions.
He started off with being an uncom
promising advocate for a contraction
of a currency, and for a forced return
to specie payments on a certain day.
i he day was fixed by himselt as
January 1, 1879.
Congress passed the Specie Ke-
snmption bill Jannary 11, 1875. Not
to be behind the Kepublican party on this important question, Tilden prepared and had rushed through a Democratic Legislature, an exactly similar measure. He affixed his signature to
the Act March 22, 187P. It is now the
law of the State of New York, and i
