who would assign such a beneficent func-

that neither the democratic party nor the

welfare whatever of health and strength I

SIDE OF. REFORM,
to which as a private citizen I had given
three years of my life. I accepted the nom-
ination for the presidency in 1876 because
of the general conviction that my candida-
cy would best present the issue of reform
which the democratic people desired to.
have marked out in the Federal Govern-
ment as it had been in the State of New
York. I believed that I had strength
enough then to renovate the administra-
tion of the Government of Hie United
States, and at the close of my term to hand
over the great trust to a successor faithful
to the same policy. Though anxious to
seek the repose of a private life, I Never-
theless acted upon the idea that every po w-
er is a trust and involves a duty.

New York, Julie 10.—The following com-
munication from Samuel J. Tilden has
been given to the Associated Press :
New York, June 10, 1884.
To Daniel Manning, chairman of the dem-
ocratic state convention of New York:
In my letter of June 18,1880, addressed
to the delegates from the State of New
York to fhe democratic national conven-
tion, 1 said: ‘‘Having now borne faithfully
my full share of labor and care in the pub-
lic service, and wearing the marks of its
burdens, I desire nothing so much as an
honorable discharge. I wish to lay down
the honors and toils Of even quasi party
leadership to Seek the repose of private
life. In renouncing the renomiuation for
tlfe Presidency, I do so Witli no doubt in
tny mind as to thevoteof theStateofNew
York or of the United States, but because
1 believe that it is a renunciation of re-
election to the Presidency. To those who
think my renomination and reelection in-
dispensable to an effectual vindication of
the rights of the people to elect their rul-
ers, violated in my person, I have accord-
ed as long a reserve of my decision as pos-
sible, but I cannot, overcome my repug-
nance to enter into a new engagement
which involves four years ofceaseless toil.
The dignity of
TUB 1‘RliSiDENTIAL
office is above hierely personal ambition,
but it creates in me no illusion. Its value
is as a great power for good to the coun-
try. I said four years ago in accepting
the nomination: ‘Knowing as I do, there-
fore, from first experience, ho# gteat the
'difference is between gliding through an
official routine and working out tlie form
of systems and policies, it is impossible for
me to contemplate what needs to be done
in the Federal administration without an
anxious sense Of the difficulty rif the un-
dertaking. If summoned by the suffrages
of my countrymen to attempt this work,
1 shall endeavor, with God’s help, to be
the efficient instrument of their will.’ Such
a work of renovation after many years of
misrule, such a reform of systemsand pol-
icies to which I would cheerfully have
Sacrificed all that remains to me of health
and life, is now, J fear, beyond my
' strength.’’ Nty purpose tc> withdraw from
further public service, and the grounds of
. it, were at that time well known to you
and others, and when
IX CINCINNATI
though respecting my wishes yourselves
you commtffil'cated to me an appeal from
many valuable friends to relinquish that
purpose, I reiterated my determination un-
conditionally. In four years which have
since elapsed nothing has occurred to
weaken, but everything to strengthen the
considerations which induced my with-
drawal from pulic life. To all who have
addressed me on the subject my inten-
tion has been frankly communicated. Sev-
eral of my most confidential friends under
the sanction of their own naffies have pub-
licly stated my determination to be irre-
versible. That I Live occasion now to
consider the question is an event for which
I have no responsibility. The appeal made
by the democratic masses with apparent
unanimity to serve them once more is en-
titled to the most deferential considera-
tion, to do anything desired of me if it were
consistent with my judgment of that duty.
1 believe there is no instrumentality in
human society so potential in its influence
upon mankind for good or evil as the Gov-
ernment machinery for administering jus-
tice and for making and
EXECUTING LAWS.
Not all the eleemosynary institutions of
private condolence to" which philanthro-
pists may devote their lives are so fruitful
in benefits as the rescue and preservation
Uf this machinery from tlie perversions
that make it tlie instrument of conspiracy)
fraud and crime against the most sacred
rights and interests of the people. For
fifty' years as a private citizen, never con-
templating an official career, I have de-
voted at least as much thought and effort
to the duty of influencing aright the ac-
tion of the government institutions of my
country as to all other subjects. I have
never accepted official service) except for
a brief period, for a special purpose, and
only when the occasion seemed to require
from me that sacrifice of private prefer-
ences to the public welfare, I undertook
the State administration of New York, be-
cause it was supposed tlmt in that way
only could the executive power be arrayed

Fort Worth Convention.
Fort Worth, Tex., June 12.—The con-
vention assembled lit 9 o’clock, Joseph D.
Sayers in tlie chair. A motion was mad?
to reconsider tlie vote by which Mr. Tii-
detl Was declared thechoiceof the conven-
tion, but on call of tlie counties it was
tabled. Tlie following was adopted:
Whereas, since the meeting of this con-
vention we have learned witli profound re-
gret that the lion. Samuel J. Tilden, of
New York, has declined to accept tlie nom-
ination of President of tlie United States
by tlie democratic party if tendered to him;
and whereas, this convention by resolution
adopted has expressed preference far him
for said position, thereby virtually instruc-
ting its delegates to tlie national conven-
tion to support him ; therefore, be it
Resolved, That tlie democratic party of
Texas, in convention assembled, reposing
faith and confidence in our delegates to
said national convention, we do hereby
send our delegates to Chicago uiitram-
meled, without instructions, but wc re-
quest and direct that they use their own
judgment in the election of a candidate for
president and vice-president of the United
States, having in view the success of the
great democratic party, and the prosperi-
ty of the country. Signed, J. J. Faulk:

• ENTERING A BATTLE.
But I do not withhold the entire consecra-
tion of my power? to the public service:
Twenty years of continuous liialadminis-
tration under tlie demoralizing infltielice
of internecine war and of bad finance have
infected tlie whole Government system of
the United States witli cancerous growths
of false constritetfons and corrupt practi-
ces. Powerful classes have acquired pe-
cuniary interests in official abuses and the
moral standards of the people have been
impaired. To redress these evils is a work
of great difficulty and labor, and cannot
be accomplished without tlie most ener-
getic and efficient personal action Oh tlie
pArt of tlie Chief Executive of tlie Repub-
lic. Tlie canvass and administration which
it is desired that I should undertake would
embrace a period of nearly five years. Nor
can I ad tn it my alluSioii as to their bur-
dens. Three years ot experience in tlie
endeavtir to reform the municipal govern-
ment of the city of New York, and two
years of experience in renovating
Tire ADMINISTRATION
of the State of New York have made hie
familiar with tire requirements of such a
work. At the present time the considera-
tion which induced my action in 1880 have
become imperative. I ought not to as-
sume a task which I have not the physi-
cal strength to carry through. To reform
tlie administfati'ori of the Federal Govern-
ment, to realize my own idea and fulfill the
just expectations of the people would in-
deed warrant, as they could alone compen-
sate, tlie sacrifice which the undertaking
would involve, But in my condition of
advancing years and declining strength I
feel no assurance of my ability to accom-
plish those objects. I am, therefore, con-,
strained to say definitely that 1 cannot as-
sume the labors of the administration or
canvass. Undervaluing in no wise that ,,uur(.ssuu tuv
best of Heaven’s gifts, the occasion and . Q-iddinffs and Silas Hate, wild spoke

Hon. Geo. Pfeuffer then introduced the
follow, which was adopted:
Resolved, that the democracy of Texas,
in convention assembled, pledges itself to
the grand principles embodied in the Mon-
roe doctrine, .and demand of the Federal
Government adequate protection for its
citizens abroad, and that Our delegates be
requested to give expression thereof be-
fore the National Convention at Chicago.
- The following was then read and refer-
red to the committee on resolutions:
Resolved; i’hat it is the sense of this
convention that it is expedient for the
Legislature to submit to the people a con-
stitutional amendment providing for a dec-
imal census to be taken alternatetly witli
the United States census; provided, that
if such amendment be adopted, the first
State census under its operation be taken
in the year 1887, the second in 1895; find
every ten years thereafter. Otis Eaton.
'Did Committee on platform and .resolu-
tions was then called together and report-
ed in favor of submitting tlie census reso-
lution to tlie State Convention at Houston
for action.

thdianaplolis, June 11.—Hon. Thomas j
A. Hendricks, in an interview concerning ,
the letter of Tilden, declared it was no
news and no surprise to him, for when lie 1
visited Tilden in August hist that gentle- ,
man very firmly announced his intention
to remain permanently out of politics. On
his succeeding visit in April last the same
determination had been expressed. Hen-
dricks thought there was little doubt that ,
the old ticket would have been unani-
mously nominated at Chicago if it had not
been for the declination to-day. He said
that the demand for it among the demo-
crats was almost universal and greater
than any movement of the kind that had
ever been seen in politics. Personally be
felt no great disappointment, He did not
want tlie office of Vice Prresident eight
years ago and did not want it now. If the
old ticket had remained in the field, he
should have considered election to that
place a great honor conferred by tlic'peo.
pie as a rebuke to what they consider a
great wrong. It would have prevented
the Seatiiig of Hayes in 1876 from becom-
ing a precedent for future elections. Mr.
Hendricks added thatKonly as an expres-
sion of the indignation of the people would
lie have regarded his election to the vice
presidency as an honor to be sought.
MRS, StlRRATT’S SLAYERS.
American Register,
Nearly all the men who wercilctive agents
or accomplices in the murder of Mrs. Sur-
ratt, are dead; nearly all died by their own
hands. One still lives, and lias recently
spoken upon tlie subject through the me-
dium of the press. It is said that he does
not sleep unless the lanlps are lighted in
his room of nights, but by daylight lie
talks and writes as if his couscience was
not cankered. Speaking of the slaughter-
ed woman, lie says: “Mrs. Surratt was
tlie master-spirit among tlie Lincoln as-
sassins. She was a woman of unusual
nerve, also of unusual intelligence. Dur-
ing that trial her behavior was firm, her
nerves unshaken, and she saw her danger
and the methods of meeting tlie graver
evidence. I believe flint she kept those
men up to their work—that Booth himself
was inferior to her in purpose.” Age and
experience should have taught Judge
Holt discretion if not intelligent decency.
Tills slur and sinful slander upon a mur-
dered woman is all the more so'lcinnly
vile, coming from one whose Aliitc hairs
should reasonably command reverence.

bring tlie delegation to Chicago ou the
6th, hVo days before the Convention meets.
Twenty rooms are id b’e secured for the
delegatesand six or eight members of tlie
Texas press who accompany them.
THE PLATFORM OF THE FORT
WORTH COXVFXTIOX,
The night session began at 9 o’clock,
when the committee on platform reported
as follows:
We, the democracy Of Texas, ill coiivem
tion assembled; tehew our allegiance and
our devotion to the principles of the parly
founded by Tlios: JefferSon, which, so long
as they prevailed ill the government of the
United States, maintained purity in the
administration of public affairs, command-
ed the respect of foreign nations, and- se-
cured peace, happiness ahd prosperity to
the people of all the states ill tlie union.
We demand a return to tire practices,
methods and republican simplicity of
tliti fathers of the cdnstitiitltiti-.
Resolved—1st. No government has the
right to impose taxes, direct or indirect in
their nature, lor any other than strictly
public governmental purposes." No gov-
ernment has tlie right to fost'er monopolies
or to encourage any industry, at the -ex-
pense of others. It is the duty of every
branch of the government to enforce and
practice tlie most rigid tieotioniy in tlie
conduct of our public affairs, arid no more
revenue ought to be raised than is re-
quired to defray the necessary expenses
Of government, and for the gradual but
certain extilictirili of tlie public debt.
2nd. No duty should be iliiposed Upon
imports except to raise revenlte necessary
to the maintenance of an economical gov-
ernment and the payment of . the public
■d’ebt; and no discrimination Should be
made in the imposition of duties for tlie
purpose of protecting any industry. A
tariffforprotection,is unconstitutional, un-
just, and in conflict witli the genius and
spirit of free government. We denounce
tlie present tariff as a scheme for the pro-
tection of monopolies, and a nlaSter-pieee
of injustice and false pretence; It has des-
troyed American commerce, and has de-
molished the agriculture. It has enslaved
American labor, under tlie false pretense
of its protection. It lias enriched a few at
tlie expense of the maSs of the people, un-
der the false pretense of this deyelOpment
of the country’s good.
3rd. We earnestly endorse the action o?
the democratic represcntatiA'es of Texas iu
congress oil theii1 vote in favor of the Mor-
rison bill. While we favor the education
of the masses bj’ every legitimate means,
yet we regard the educational bill pend-
ing in congress, whieli proposes td appro-
priate irioney from the Federal treasury
for educational purpose? within the states,
as an unconstitutioiiril and dangerous en-
croachment upon the rights of the states,
and is another gteat step toward the cen-
traiiriatioh of all power in the Federal gov-
ernment, and tlie destruction of the repub-
lic; and we heartily endorse the action of
tlie senators in opposing tlie passage of
the bill.

MAS K1LLEIJ HEIt GOOSE.
From tlie Palestine Advocate.
We clip the following from an ex-
change :
“Thebottom has fallen out of wheat.
The price of flour is down. Olie Would
suppose that we would have cheaper bread
—that is, orie who lias' Hot lived here long
enough to kilow that bread only follows
flour in its upward nitfVements, butstiorns
it when it backslides. It would bfe liitei^
esting to know why bTead is always dear-.
er here than in St. Louis.”
Is there licit such a tiling as killing the
goose that laid the golden egg? Two
tilings in Palestine strike the new comer
as rather queer, arid somehow it appears
to him that tine is tlie natural consequence
of tlie way that merchants and grocer?
have of killing the goo’sc that laid tlie
golden egg, The new comer from St.
Louis says.: “ I can buy 14 pounds of su-
gar in St. Louis for $1. Here tlie same
sugar can only be bought 9 pOuhds for $L
It will pay me to buy my groceries’ there.”
The new comer from adjoining counties
says, “ Why, Palestine is a railroad cen-
tre, and I thought I could-live cheaper
hei'e, but I find groceries, dry goods, and
everything else as dear here as in the little
villages away from the railroads.”
G’o to the postoffice any morning and
watch the stream of money pouring into
the money order window. Where does
all this money go? It is stated that $2000
o'f $3000 goes monthly for retail groceries,
beCadse they can be bought at discount
and expressed to this place cheaper than
they can be bought here. Another one or
two thousand goes to dry goods dealers
of the North, who sell their goods cheaper
than our merchants.
Old ZEscp was looking a.Way ifito tlie
centuries when lie wrote about the goose'
thal laid the golden egg. It is a truth-re-
vealing fable, and its moral is being felt
every day in the little city of Palestine.
