Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Writings and Speeches of Samuel J. Tilden, Vol. 2 of 2 The services which Mr. Tilden had rendered in purifying the judiciary and in sending to prison or into exile the gang of rogues who, under the lead of William M.Tweed, had been plundering the treasury of New York city and debauching the members of our municipal and State legislatures, and to a greater or less degree the public Press, naturally concentrated upon him the eyes of the New York Democracy as the most suitable candidate for governor that the party could provide in 1874. The Democratic State Convention assembled at Syracuse on Thursday, the 17th of September of that year, Horatio Seymour presiding. Mr. Tilden was nominated on the first ballot. In the evening the citizens of Syracuse, despite a furious rain storm, assembled in front of the Vanderbilt House to serenade him. In an interval of the music Mr. Tilden was conducted to the balcony and introduced to the assembled multitude by the late Attorney-General Pratt, of Syracuse. The brief speech which Mr. Tilden made, after silence and order had been re stored, gave the keynote of the campaign, - retrenchment in public expenditures, reform in the public administration, stricter accountability of public officers, and uncompromising resistance to the bad ambition of a third term, which was then imputed, with only too much justice, to President Grant and his intimate friends.
