In New York Cily, on Saturday
nij;ht, October 27lh, tho Younp; Men'a
Democratic Club aerenaded Mr.Tilden,
ut his rcoiirtfticu''iii tiratnorfjy PutX,
and ho niado n long and carefully pro-
pared speech in response. Dodworlh's
lluml timli a position in tho Park about
9 o'clock, and tho lively music it dis
coursed, together with tho gluro ol the
culcitim lights profusely scattered about
tho neighborhood, soon uttruclcd a
crowd of soiiio 3,1100 or 4,000 poraons.
In addition to tho member of tho
Youim Men's Club, a committee of
gentlemen from tho Manhuttan Club
also attended the serenade, and tho
reception m Mr.Tiltlon'i parlors, which
preceded tho main eTciit. Mr. Tilden,
supported by Mr. William Yun Wyck,
President ol the toiitig Mens Demo
cratic Club, cuino out nnd took his po
sition on tho broad slouo gnurd tu the
doorsteps. Immonso cheoring and
cries of "Throo cheers for President
Tiltlcn " greeted his appearance, nnd
continued for soma minutes. Mr. Van
Wyck, having obtuined a hearing, in
troduced Mr. Tilden on behalf of tho
Young Men's Club, and Mr. Scbell fol
lowed on behalf ol' the MiinhaUun ( lub.
lie till J tho crowd that they had mot
to welcome homo their illustrious lei
low-citizen. Thoy could not do this
without being reminded of a fuel which
hud passed into history. They kne
that he was elected to tho Presidency;
that he had been deprived ol that high
offico by fraud A voice, " They won't
do it again," a tVuu-l which could
nover bo condoned rCbcersland w hich
could never bo repeated. More cheer
ing. Mr. Tilden, when tho noise hud
subsided, said :
Gentlemen of the Yuiimj Men's Demo-
(Tiidc Club :l thank you lor your
kindly welcome. My summer excur
sion, now just closed, had for its object
a season of physical activity in tho
open air in a moderate climate, and
amid scenes interesting by their asso
ciations with our literature, with our
jurisprudence, and with tho origin and
growth of representative institutions
It has rcpuircd us much us threo months
could the waste of six yurs consecrated
to an cfl'ort lor governmental reform
in the city, SuUo and Nation. 1 do
not forget that in 1871 you joined in
iho work, and huvo nover since been
wanting lo it. I am glad hero to night
to minglo my congratulations with
yours on w hat has been done, on the
good align ries for the future, and, above
on tho resolute purposo of tho
young men of our country Unit the Re
public shall be completely restored and
rc-cstnhlisbed according to its original
ideas. Tho contrast which strikes tho
American eyo between tho British Isles
and our own country in tho supply ol
food, and especially cereals, ought to
be the basis ol profitable exchanges
and inestimablo muluul benefactions.
Tho wants of our British cousins
already enormous will rapidly in
crease. They grow, not only with
population, but by an incessant diver
sion of lubor toward tho most profitable
employments. Our means of supply
aro boundless. Wo have immense areas
of fortilo soils cheap peculiarly fitted
for tho uso ol agricultural machinery,
and connected with tho centres of for
eign commcrco by tho great rivers, by
vast inland soas, and by 75,000 miles
of railway. Wo havo a sun in our
heavens, which in tho season of agri
cultural growth,pours down daily floods
of light and warmth, making tho oarlh
prolific, giving abuudanco and variety
of fru i ts, assu ri ng tho w hont crop, yield
ing the cotton in its tone, and ripening
corn everywhere, oven to tho vergo ol
tho farthest North. 1 predict a great
increase in tho consumption of our corn
by Great Britain over tho 00,000,000
bushelB which it renched last year. It
is tho most natural and spontaneous
of our cereal products. Our present
crop ought to bo 1,500,000,000 bushels,
against 300,000,000 of wheat. It is
but little interior to wheal in nutritive
powor. It costs less than one half nn
tho sea board, and much less than ono.
half on the farm. It can bo cooked by
thoso who consent to learn how, into
many delicious forms of human food.
Why should not the British workmen
have cheaper food ? Why should not
our farmers havo a great market? V hy
should not our carriers havo tho trans
portation ? Let us remember that
commercial exchunges must hnvosomo
element ol mutuality, Whoever oh.
structs the means of pay mont obstructs
also the lucililies of sale. Wo must
relax our barbarous rovonuo system so
as not necessarily to retard tho natural
processes of trade. We must no longer
legislate against tho wants of humanity
and tho beneficence of Clod.
The election now impending involves
tho choico of Stato o Ulcers who com
pose tho administrative boards, (iov.
Robinson's administration has been
characterized by incorruptiblo integri
ty, hy wisdom and ability, and by un
swerving fidelity lo tho reforms that
have reduced the Stuto taxes One-half;
that aro rapidly extinguishing tho
Stato debt ; that havo retrenched f 2,-
500,000 a year ol tho expenditures upon
public works ; and havo purified our
great official trusts, ( beers He needs
and has a right to havo tho cordial co
operation of those officers, which In tho
government of tho United States and
other systems, form tho Cabinet of tho
Chief Executive. In my judgment tho
gentlemen In nomination will co-oper-ate
in tho reform policy which 1 had
the honor to inaugurate, nnd which
Governor Robinson is consummating.
A voico " They'll bo oloetsd, suro."
I think that their election and tho
changes that will tako place from tho
Constitutional amendments adopted In
187C will give brtn a mora Vinitod sup
port in tho Canal Board than 1 was
able to rocoire during my adtninistra
lion. Cheers nnd laughter. I havo
the mora satisfaction in allowing this
conviction, bocanso 1 belicvo that any
nominations that did not promise such
co-operation would be disowned by tho
Democratic masses. Tho oloction
though for Stato officers, has rclntions
to National politics to which I know
you will expect mo to allude. Tho con

have her oicu unlTtiu.
A voice" It's been heard,
iek of iU"
Wu'ro
Another voico" We know you got
robbod."
Mr. Tilden I did not get robbed ;
tho people got robbed. Great cheering
and laughter. The declaration of In
dependence, the Bill of Rights, and the
Stato Constitutions all contain asser
tions of tbo right of tho people lo gov
ern themselves and to change their
rulers at will. These declarations had
ceased to have any meaning to tho
American mind. They seem to bo
truisms which there was nobody to
dispute. Tho contests known to us
were contests betwoon different por
tions of oar people. To comprehend
the significance of these decluratidns, it
Is necessary to carry ourselves back lo
tho examples of human experience in
view of which our ancestors acted.
Thoy bad aeen tbo governmental ma
chine and a small governmental class,
sometimes with the aid of tho army
ublo lo rule arbitrary over millions ot
unorganized, isolutcd utoms of human
society. In forming tho Government
of tho I nited Slutes they endeavored
to take every precaution against the
recurrence of such evils in ibis country
They kept down the standing army to
a nominal amount. They intended to
limit tho luiictions of thu federal Gov
ernment eo as to prevent tho growth
lo dangerous dimensions of au office
holding class of corrupt influences.
They preserved tho State Governments
as a counterpoise to act as centres ol
opinion and as organized means of re
sislunce lo revolutionary usurpation by
tho Federal Government. Jefferson,
tho leader of liberal opinion, in his first
inaugural recognized this theory. Ham
ilton, tho representative of tho extreme
conservative sentiment, in the Fideral
ist, expounded it with cluborato argu
moots. Madison, the father of the Con
stitution, enforced these conclusions.
A voico " There woro no Reluming
Boards then."
Mr. Tilden (excitedly) No, there
woro no Returning Boards in those
days. Tho people elected their own
officers, and the Returning Boards of
Florida and Loulsiuna Cheering and
cries of " Go for 'cm again I " The in
crease of power in tho Federal Govern
ment during tho last twenty years, tho
creation of a vast office-holding cluss,
with its numerous dependents, and tho
growth of tho means of corrupt influ
ence, have well nigh destroyed the bal
ance of our complex system. It was
my judgment in 187G that public opin
ion, demanding a change of administra
tion, needed to cmbraco two thirds of
the people at tho begiuing of tho can
vass in order to cast a majority of votes
at tho election. If this tendency is not
arrested, He inevitable result will be
the practical destruction ol our system.
Let tho Federal Government grasp
powor over the great corporations of ou r
country and acquire tho moans of ad
dressing their interests and their fears ;
let it tuko jurisdiction of riots which
it is the duty of the State to suppress ;
let it find pretexts for increasing I ho
army, and soon thoso in possession ot
tho Government will havo a power
with which no opposition ran success
fully compete Tho cxporienco of
Vance under the Third Napoleon
shows that, with elective forms and
universal suffrage, despotism can be
stablished and maintained. In tho
canvass of 1870 tho Federal Govern
ment embarked in the contest with
unscrupulous activity. A member of
tho Cabinet was at tho head of a parti
san committee. Agents stood at tho
door of tho pay offico to exact contri
butions Iron! official subordinates. Tho
whole ofllco holding class were made
to exhaust their power. Even the army
for tho first time, to tho disgnst of tho
soldiers and ninny of the officers, was
moved about tho country as an elec
tioneering instrument. And hero let
mo say, follow citizcns, that I, for ono,
am unalterably opposed lo any increase
of the army. 1 will never consent to
it never--no, never I Shouts and
cheers.
All this was dniio under the eye ot
tho beneficiary of it, who was milking
tho air vocal with professions of civil
Bcrvice reform lo bo begun after ho hud
himself exhausted all tho immoral ad
vantages of civil service abuses. Pub
lic opinion in some States was over
borne by corrupt Influences and by
Iraud. Hut so slrong was tho desire
for reform that tho Democratic car.tli
d utes recei ved 4 ,300, 000 sti ff rages. Thia
wae a majority ol the popular vote of
about 300,000, and ol 1,250,000 of the
white citizens. It was a voto 700,000
larger than Gonoral Grant received in
1872, and 1,300,000 larger than he re.
coived in 1RG8. Tho step from an ex
tromo degreo of corrupt abuses in tho
elections to a subversion of tho elective
system itself is natural. No sooner
was tho election over than tho whole
power of tho office holding class, led by
a Cubinct minister was exerted lo pro
cure and did procure from tho State
canvassers of two States illegal and
fraudulent certificates, which woro
niado a pretext for a fulso count of the
Electoral votes. To onahlo those ofll
cers lo oxorciso Iho Immoral courage
necessary to the parts assignod to them,
and to relieve them from the timidity
which God has implanted in the human
bosom as a limit to criminal audacity,
delacbmonts of tho army wero sent to
afford them shelter. Tbo expodionts
by which tho votes of tho Electors
chosen by the people of these two Stales
wero rejected, nnd tho voles of tho
Electors having tho illegal and fraudu
lent certificates wero counted, and tho
menaeo of usurpation by tbe President
of the Senalo of dictatorial powor over
all tbo questions in controversy, and
tho menace of the enforcement of his
pretended authority hy tho army and
navy, tho terrorism ol the business
classes, and tho kindred measures by
which the false count was consum
mated, are known. " Tbe result is the
establishment of aprc cedent dwtrnellvo
of our wholo elcctivo systom. Tbo

Government to porpetualo their own

government in this country will como
to bo determined by fraud or forco, us
it bus been done iu almost every other
country ; nnd tho oxporienco will be
reproduced here which has led lo the
general adoption ul the hereditary sys
tem in order to avoid confusion and
civil war. Thin in.nitinlo of u noliti-
Our greut Republic baa been the only
oxumplo in thu world of a regular and!
orderly transfer of governmental suc-
cession by the elective system. To
destroy the habit ol traditionary ra
sped lor tho will of tho people, as de
clared through tho Electoral forms.and
to exhibit our institutions as a failure,
is the greatest possible wrong to our
country. It is also a heavy blow to
tbo hopes of patriots struggling lo estab
lish self-government in oilier countries.
It is a greater crime against mankind
than thu usurpation of December 2,
1851, depicted by ihe illustrious pen of
Victor Hugo.
Here Mr, Tilden, answering an in
terruption from the crowd, said that il
was Bhown there tbul a despotism
could bo cstublished even under forms
of universal suifrsge ; then, reluming
again to tho "greut crime," bo excitedly
demanded to know of his auditors il
they would over condone it. "You
won't condono ItT1 he oiieil j " You
will never condono it I "
A voico" Never I never ! "
Mr. Tilden Tho American people
will not condono it under any pretext
for any purpose. Young man ! in thu
order of Nature we who have guarded
tho sacred traditions of our free govern
ment will soon leave that work to you.
Within tho life ol most who bear mo

millions of people. Whether its insti

and will continue lo bo a blessing to
tho toiling millions hero and a good ex
ample to mankind, now everywhere
seeking a larger share in the manage
ment of their own affairs, will depend
on you.

thank all in our Slate and country who
havo accorded me their support, not
personal to myself, but for the cause I
havo represented, and which has em

Congress was called together spe
cially on account ot the' failure to ap
propriute money at thu lust session for
the support of tho army during the
current fiscal yeur. But for Ibis fact
there would havo been no necessity for
the present extraordinary session.
Therefore, tho first business lo bo con
sidered is the army in all its aspects,
and the acts of tho Administration in
carrying il on iu defianco of law, Mr.
Hayes insists that Congress shall take
tho figures ot tho War Deportment,
rote all tho money asked tor the year,
make no investigation, and go about
its business when these orders havo
been obeyed.
This sort of summary proceeding
would suit that class of Republican
managers who seek lo avoid a rupture
in tho party, and lo preserve tho ex
ternals of harmony until a collision is
lorccd by circustnnces. But the con
dition of the country demands that
this whole subject shall bo turned in
side out beforo any appropriation is
made. It involves Iho gravest ques
tions that separate Ihe Exerulivo and
Legislative departments. If a stand
ing army can be kept up for six months
without any check by Congress on its
numbers or cost, what becomes of the
restraints imposed on tho Executive by
tho Constitution ? The danger of such
a precedent is too plain lo bo discussed.
This is the first attempt under existing
lawa to defy tho will of Congress and
to support tho army by a flagrant
abuse of tho public credit.
There is no urgency lor passing Iho
appropriation, even il there was no
serious dispulo about tho items of the
bill. Congress has assembled to legis
late for this object, and no legislation
will meet tho public expectation that
is not prccodod by the lullest scrutiny.
Tho country looks particularly lo tho
House of Representatives for Hostility.
and oxpects tho pledges made in Mr.
Randall's address on taking tho Speak
er's chair to be redeemed by the ma
jority that elected him. No backward
step will bo tolerated hy tho people.
Tho appropriation for the fiscal
year which on (ltd on tho 30lh of June
last was much larger than Iho House
intended for tho army, and was voted
solely from the apprehension of a great
Indian war, then supposed to bo im
pending. The army was maintained
at its present maximum of 25,000 men,
anil a force of 2,000 additional cavalry
was added for temporary service De
ception was practiced on tbo Houso to
carry that scheme through, and tho
troops thus obtained, instead ot being
used against tho Indians, wero gath

Here is a half million in round
numbers above the appropriations for
last year, when Congress, with mis
taken liberality, voted everything the
department and the military chiefs
asked for, under the belief that their
statements woro true, and that there
was immediate danger of an Indian
war, when nono in fact existed, and
the wholo outcry was gotten up by
selfish interests, After tbo experience
wo havo had, the House is especially
bound to Investigate thoroughly, and
to doliborato well, boforo voting tho
people's money away for a atantling
army. Members had better study the
figures and consider tho millions. If
thoy expect lo be retained in Congrea.
At this time every voto will bo watched
with keen eyes, and the record will

JUSTICE BRADLEY' H DE-
I'ESSE.
Mr. Juslieo Bradley is thinnor skin
ned than we supposed, and in k letter
to tho Newark (N. J.) Advertter bas
made a bold denial of the charges
originally bronght against him by the
New York .Sun, and inferential! cor
roborated by J nsliro Field. Mr. Ilrad-
but that ho has no recollection ol even
expressing one, while if he did it must
have been "suggeatively or in a
hypothetical manner," and not intend,
ed as a committal of his final Judgment
or action. Ho pronounces as a false,
hood, furthermore, tho story that sev
enteen cumugcB surrounded bis resi-
fc'ja-a. Jitt!Vl- VI
my hotiBo that evening." Thia ispv n
and to tho point. Justice Bradley had
an tmdw,t!l rljjht.U) change his mind
as often as he pleased ; it was tho in.
dticcmcnt to change it w hich consti
tuted tho alleged criminality in his
conduct ; and tbe essential element in
tho accusation against him was that
this inducement wus a bribe. It, there
fore, il is truo that outsidu influence
was not brought to bear upon him, no
charge of actual corruption can prop
erly lio against him. In this respect
Mr. Bradley's defense seems to us to bo
a sufficient ono, and should be accepted
as such until it shall bo shown that the
facts a re not as ho states them. A t tho
sumo time it must bo admitted that
what bo says about his method of ar
riving at a conclusion on the Florida
question is a virtual confession of his
weakness as a man and incapacity as
a Judgo. Ho says he " wroto and re-
wrolo the considerations on both sides
an they occurred to him, sometimes bo
ing inclined to ono view of tho case
and sometimes to tbo other," but he
docs not explain how il camo about
that lie voted with tho Democrats to
hear evidence on iho eligibility of Elec
tor Humphreys, whose eligibility was
nover really doubted, und refused to
hear it in the case of tho Louisiana
Electors, whoso ineligibility was obun
dually capable ot prool. Hero was an
inconsistency which tho vucillution to
which he says ho was subject does not
at all explain, for it is impossible that
bo could have honestly believed that
tbo principle of law was not tbe same
in both cases, since both were identical.
Mr. llrsdley, sitting ou the Supremo
Bench, would never dure to commit
such an absurdity. Tho truth of the
mutter is that whatever his secret ro
tations to tbo Republican conspirators
may have been, Mr. Bradley displayed
from tho first, not a desire to get at
the truth, but to discover sumo plausi
blo pretext for abutting il out, and it
was tbo difficulty of doing this which
gavo him so much anxiety. It was
because he found tho arguments of tho
Democrats so terribly straight to the
mark thut ho wavered that he "wrolo
and rewroto th considerations." This
was not tho vacillation of ignoranuo,
but tho adroitness of partisanship, and
it wus thia pbaso of Mr. Bradley's ac
tion w hich aroused tbe indignation of
Judgo Black, and which he denounced
with such wilhoring scorn. It is this,
too, which the country refused to lor-
get, and will never forgive. Baltimore

This is an auspicious timo for inau
gurating a new Indian policy. Of all
tho hoatiles which have taken up arms
against Ihe Federal Government since
the first ol the year, nono now remain
on the war path. They havo cither
surrendered voluntarily, or been sub
dued in battle. Even Silling Bull is
practically at peace with us, lor al
though be scornfully rejected the over-
lures or the commission, he at Ihe same
timo announced his determination to
remain on the Canadian side of the
bordor, and tho Dominion authorities
have notified him that il he should fail
to keep his word thoy will make com
mon cuii so with our own Government
against him. Tho prospect for a pro
longed pence on the bonier was nover,
indeed, so promising as now. This,
therefore, is a good time, aa we have
said, for inaugurating a new Indian
policy. It is a good timo lor eubsti.
luting honesty and mutual confidence
for Iraud and mutual suspicion ; a good
timo lor pruning ihotorvicoot corrupt
officials, for dismissing thieving agents,
bogus contractors and in trigu i ng clerks;
a good timo for breaking up tho Indian
ring in all its ramifications. Tho time
has como when wo can no longer afford
to maintain an Indian policy which, in
itself vicious, bas required lor eight
years a strong standing army toenforce
it. Wo cannot afford to repeat tbe
blunders which brought on thcSioux
and Nea l'erces wars, and which have
cost us more iu blood and treasure
than all tho advantages sought to be
wrested from tho Indians Lavo boon
worth, many times over. In short, we
cannot afford to niuku treaties which
wo do not intend to observe. Tho
change, to be effective, must be radical.
Tbe first thing to be done is to reform
tbe service aa it now exists. This
duty belongs to Secretary Schura.
When ho first entered upon bis offico,
mora than six months ago, the press
genorally called his attention to tho
deplorable condition of the Indian Bu
reau ; but beyond instituting two or
throo potty Investigations, which have
so far been barren of results, ho has
done absolutely nothing. The Indian
ring la almost as strong to day as it
was in Delano's timo. It is plain,
therefore, that unless ho at once grap
ples with the evil personally he will
never accomplish anything. But while
it is evident that reloim must begin
here, it is equally clear that to secure
a permanent reform the wholo policy
ol the Government must be changed.
So long as we recognize the tribal sov
ereignty in tbo Indian It will be im
possible to civilise him, and we shall
never be done with fWhtinit him.
If ho refuses to go on bis reserva
tion we can, indeed, make war, but
that is no punishment for his disobedi
ence Sooner or later tho Indian must
be ron verted into an American citizen,
mado amenable to our laws, Insured
their protection and brought within
reach of their penalties. Wo shall then
be ablo to denl with him through the
civil authorities, and so hedga him
about with tho restraints of socioty
that he would bo unable lo cast them
off. When once Congress reluses to
recognize him any longer as a tribo,
but simply as an individual, there will
bean end at once and forever of Indian
wars.
