The following is Alr. 'Tilden's letter
in full:
GIIAYsTON, October 6, 1881.
Mi. Chair-man and Gentlemen of the
Committee: I thank you for the'kind
terts in which you comlittnicated the i
resolution concerning me, adopted by I
the late Democratic National Conven
tion. I share your conviction that I
reform in the Administration of the (
Federal Government - which is our
great national want, and is Indeed es- I
sential to the restoration and preserva
tion of government itself'-ean only be
tchieved through the agency of' the
Democratic party, and by installing its
representative in the Chief' Magistruer
of the United States. The noble his
torical traditions of the Democratic
party, the principles in which it was
educated and to which it has been in
the main faithful; its freedtom frot
corrupt influences-wlich grow 1p ini
prolonged posaession of power-anld I
the nature of elements which con.t i- 1
tute it-all contraibutte to qualifv it totr
that mission. The oppo)silt cla'ractcr
istics and conditions which attaclh to 1
the Republican party make it hopeless
to oxpect that that party will be able I
to give it better governmet 11innt the
debasing system of abuses which, lr
ing its aenidenc, has infected oflicial a
and political life in this countery.
The Democratic patrty had its ori.rin r
i the efforts of the more advancedl c
patriots of the govertinment frotm tle lI
ILeal contetpliated by the people. (i

[ Letter to the AUguata Chrontle.]
Col.uIIIt31A, S. C., October 7.-The
address of the Rep)blican State Exec
utive Commtittee, signed by Brayt.on,
Chairman, has just beent given to the
bres. It contains very little more
than fle usual stereotyped -ni1isipre
setttations of the Democratic party. All
nanner of "charges" against the Dem..
ocracy are mado and every eti'ort is put
forth to urousu the colored voters.
T1'ht addrese declares that the Republi
cas of South Carolina enter the cam.
paign of 1881 with tnabroken ranks.
"Ih spite of the mlalignait conduct of
thejr adversaries in this Sta.u they
stand together united and deteriniul
to do thei utmost to defeat at home
the organization which, having stolen
power ii !876, has by iisrule, injus
tice and oppression failed to stifle the
cotivictions or silence the protlest of
those people who, through compul
ionl, yielded to a minority of more
thiin 30,000." 'T'he address declares
that the only reason that Itopublicans
have not resorted to other incanis than
the ballot to recover possession ofthe
('rovarunteut, is because "any such
efl'orts us was necessarv to obtain our
rights and right our wrongs would re
sult ink conflicts an'1 conse<luences so
disastrous aid unequal that we could
not do olhlerwise." Surprise i3 ex
pressed Ihat the ''loyal people of the
cottntry' are so ie1(11freent to the poor
iieek, -ion sullerinig South Carolina
I epublicanis. "WVe hail With satisfac
tion the bright prospects of IReplbli
canl success in those portions of the
country where (lie ballot is free, (lie
coutnt is honest and intimidation does
not prevail, niid feel thankful to God
thiit the intalign rule of the solid Sontlh
is not to be extended."
Congress is called upon to eiact
siich laws "as we are confident, Presi.
dent Mlaine wvill recomniicid to over"
cocvin he I ravesty oil free, popular gov
erinient at the Sioutl,'' and the address
goes on to say", 'if' theie be not the
constititioinal powcr to legislate so as
to give all citizens equal rights in State
elect ios, then wedemand that inl Fed
eral elections the registration, as well
as the iu:tm,einienrt of the election
shall he ninler tle snpervision of the
genei'al Govet"ntent.'' Then folIo vs
a long attatck onit the registration ancid
election laws of the State, and an at
tempt is iauule to prove that these laws
were ma:ede solely to keep Republicans
tromi exercising their rights as citi
zen, anid the claim is mnade to prove
that these laws disfranchise 30,000
Itepul icans. The laws are declared
to be miconsltit.utiolal, and the Gov
ernmncut is asked to test the (Iiestion
i ll the % "urts.
The assertion is made that on ae
co0uit 01 its uinaagement of public.
aliirs the '')enocrats ilul thenselves
brought, to ia reckofing anid ntumeri
cally weaker to-day, after nearly v eight
.ve:i s of power, than they were in 1876
for, 1esides utter filure to break the

has beeni rednced by the withdrawal of
a latre nuiher of ten who fe'el b1e

who, with power to do so much for
