I '- "& M vr v VOL. XXI, NO. 58. ASTORIA, OREGON, FRIDAY; JUNE 13, 1884. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. TILDEN POSITIVELY DECLINES. His Letter Refusing the Demociatic Presi dential Nomination. New Yoke, June 1L The follow iQg'cdmmiinication from, Samuel J. Tuden has been given to the asso ciated press: New York, June 10. To Daniel Manning, Chairman of tlie Democratic State Committee, New Yerk: In my letter of June 18, 1880 addressed to the delegates from the state of New York to the Demo cratic national convention, I said: "Having now borne faithfully my full share of labors and care in public ser Tice, and wearing the marks of its burdens, I desire nothing so much as an honorable discharge. I wish to layTiiown th honors of party leader ship, and to seek the repose of private life. In renouncing renomination for the presidency I do so with no doubt in my mind as to the vote of the state of New York, or of the United States, but because I believe it is a renuncia tion of Te-election to the presidency. To those who think my renomination nnd re-election indispensable to an effectual vindication of the right of the people to elect their rulers, vio lated 4n my person, I have accorded as Jong a reserve of my decision as poBBible, but I cannot overcome my repugnance to enter into a new en gagement wh'ch involves four years of ceaseless toil. The dignity of the presidential office is abovo a merely personal ambition, but it creates in me no illusion. ItsTalae is as a great power for good to the country. THE OLD SETTER 01' ACCEPTANCE. 'I said four years age: 'In accept ing this nomination, knowing hh I do, therefore, from freth experience, how great the difference is between gliding through an official rouiino and work ing out a reform of systems an.l poli cies, it is imperative on me to con template these needed reforms with an anxious sense of the difficulties of tee undertaking. 1C summoned by the suffrages of my countrymen to attempt this work, 1 shall endeavor, with 6o4's help, lo be the efficient in strument of their will.' ."Such q work of renovation, after many years of misrule, such a reform of systems and policies to which I would cheerfully have sacrificed nil that remained to me of health and life, is cow, I fear, beyond my strength." My purpose to withdraw from fur ther .public service, and the grounds on which Jit is based, was at that time well known to you and others, and when at Cincinnati, though respect ing my wishes yourselves, you com municated an appeal fo mo from sny , valued friends to relinquish that purpose, I reiterated my deter minaticn unconditionally. THE BESOLTJTIOX STRENGTHENED. In'the lour years which have since elapsed nothing has occurred to weaken, but everything to strengthen the considerations which induced my withdrawal from public life. To all who-have addressed me on the sub ject my intention has been frankly communicated. The appeal made to me by the Democratic masses, with apparent unanimity, to serve them once more, is entitled to the most deferential consideration, and would inspire a disposition to do anything desired of me, if it were consistent with my judgment of duty. I believe there is no instrumentality so poten tial, in its influence upon mankind, for good or evil, as the governmental .machinery for administering justice, . -fcad for making and executing laws. 2fot all the eleemosynary institutions of private benevolence to which phil anthropists may devote their lives are bo fruitful in benefits as the res-.-. cue and preservation of this machin ery from the perversions that make it the instrument of conspiracy, fraud ' And crime, against the most sacred rights -and interests of the people. For, fifty years, as a private citizen, never contemplating an official career, I have devoted at least as much .thought and effort to the duty of iu "jBuencing aright the action of the 'governmental institutions of my country aB to all other objects. HIS OFFICIAL RECORD. I have never accepted official ser vice, except for a brief period, for a special purpose, and only when the occasion seemed to require from me that sacrifice of private preferences to the public welfare. I undertook the state administration of New York tecau8 it was supposed in that way only could the executive power be ar rayed on the side of the reforms to hich, as a private citizen, I had given three years of my life. I ac cepted the nomination for the presi dency in 1876, because of the general conviction that my candidacy would best present the issue of reform, which the Democratic majority of the people desired to have worked out in the federal government, as it had been done in the state of New York. I believed that I had strength enough then to renovate the administration of the government of the United States, and at the close of my term to hand over the great trust to a suc cessor, faithful to the samo policy. Though auxious to seek the repose of a private life, I nevertheless acted apon the idea that every power is a trust that involves a duty. In reply to the address of the committee com municating my nomination, I depict ed the difficulties of the undertaking, and likened my feelings in undertak ing it to those of a soldier entering bulB, bat I did not withhold the en jtixe consideration of my powers to the public service. A SEVERE TASK. Twenty years of continuous malad ministration under tho demoralizing " influences of intestine war and of bad finance, have infected the whole " jforarnmental system of the United States with the cancerous growths of false constructions and corrupt prac tices. Powerful classes have acquired pecuniary interests in offi cial abuses, and the moral standards of the people have been impaired. To redress these arils isarork of great difficulty and 1 .labor,., and cannot be accomplished tsyitfiout the most energetic and effici- BEN BUTLER. Ben Butler is a cloud upon the political horizon considerably bigger than a man's hand. Not much atten tion is being paid to him by the press at present The noise of the Eepub lican convention has filled the public ar. The rattle will be kept up, and probably will increase, until the. Democratic convention has been held. Then the press and politicians will have a breathing spell, and Butler will become a veryinteresting object of inspection. He has already re ceeived the presidential nomination from two conventions those of the Anti-Monopolists and the Greenback ens. Doubtless lie will go with this backing to the Democratic conven tion, but there is scarcely a possibi lity that he can get the nomination there. If he does not, will he stay in the field? This question is full of serious im port to the Democracy. It is the gen eral opinion that if disturbing forces could be kept out of the contest be tween the two regular parties the out come would be unpredictable. Party fealty is weak, and at any time during the fight a stampede of voters from one side to the other would surprise no one. The battle will be merely for the offices. It is u matter of small importance to tho country whether the next president shall bo a Bepubli enn or a Democrat. The parties are as nearly alike in their practical poli cies as two parties well oanbe and yet keep up u pretense of having some thing to quarrel over. If Butler should' decide to run without the Democratic nomination, the face of conflict would be changed. Butler s i candidacy would hi all probability ' result in'the election of the Bepubli I can nominee, for ho would draw most J of his votes from tho Democracy. Ho is a platform in himpelf that would ap ! peal for support to the workiugmen, I and men ot every social station who I are tired of the dominance of money and Phariseeism in our politics. The nature of the attack to which he ! would be subjected would strengthen hiin. Ho would be sneered at as a demagogue, and the answer to that would be that he had cmrucd the name by being throughout his long life an aetive partisan of the poor against the oppressions of tho rich. The fact that the factor lords of Massachu setts, tho preachers whoso salaries thev nnv. and the eminently respect- i able class generally, who live luxuri ously on tue lauor uj. iu uivu, nine Butler, would make him the idol of tho multitude in a presidential cam paign. It is his delight to dash into the temple with his whip ot thongs and make it lively for tho pious money-changers. Ho is a terror to the whole tribe of Pecksniffs. But "while they hate, him they are forced to jicknowledge ins nbiuty. iiutier has brains, and he is the hardest man m uublio lifo to-day to discourage. He goes into a losing fight with as much cheerfulness and vim as into a winning one. He loves to be on the stump, and the yells of anger and pain evoked by tho pouring of tho vitriol of his sarcasm upon the flesh of Humbug is music to his ear. On the other baud, he has himself tho hide of a rhinoceros. When the hosts of the Lord come up against him he meets them with a sardonio grin, and routs them with a fire of irony that puts their own pious speeches to shame. Although him self a millionaire, no one acouses' Butler of being in sympathy with the plutocratic spirit On the contrary, he is unceasing in his antagonism to it Ho is a mill-owner, but his tre mendous personal following in Mass achusetts is made up largely of mill hands poor devils who have all the sweetness of their liveB squeezed out of them to swell the profits of their masters. They recognize Butler as their friend. " He goes into court without fee when a workman is his client, and he has always refused to take the case of a corporation. All his life ho has bidden for popularity with the working classes, and ho has got it. This is why ho is called a demagogue. If he had bidden for favor with the employing classes, he would have been known as a wise and conservative statesman. It is always more respectable to serve the power ful than the weak. The Democrats hope that Butler will retire from the struggle, rather than aid in the election of the Re publican candidate. They argue that ho has sinned against the Republican party beyond all bonds of pardon, and that it is to the Democratic party be must necessarily look hencefor ward for preferment He is getting to bo an old man sixty-six and is too shrewd, they calculate, to waste any of his few remaining years of activity in striving to form an inde pendent partj. If they can buy him off with vague promises of good things to be done for him four years from now, they will oheerfully do it But General Ben is too old a bird to mistake chaff for grain. He knows well enough that no Democratic con vention would nominate him unless forced to do it by lear of the harm ho might do if refused tho prize. Politi cal memories are long lived, and all Democratic recollections of Butler arc not pleasant If he should make the run, and prove that his strength before the people is formidable, there is no telling what tho Democratic convention, m its anxiety for success, might not do in 1888. Butler is a natural iconolast, and he would enjoy the fun of bedeviling all calculations this presidential year. Besides, it may be his opinion that the only way to secure the Democratic nomination four rears from now is to show the party that ho is ablo to beat it by running on an independent ticket A knowledge of General Butler's character predisposes us to believe that no solicitude for tho success of the Democratic nominee this year will move him to hand baok the two nominations that have been given him. The Democrats may as well, we think, make up their minds to cal culate their chances with Ben Butler in the sum as a distressing factor. San Franciscan.

The canvass and . administration which it is desired that I" should un dertakoiwouldf embrace a -period of nearly five,yeaxs, nor can I admit any allusion as to their burdens. Three years ""of " experience m an en aeavor to, rewrm me municipal gov ernment of the city of New York, and two years of experience in renovating the administration of the state of New York, have made me familiar with the requirements ol sucn. wort. A POSITIVE REFUSAL At the present time the considera tions which induced my action in 1850 havo become imperative. I ought not to assume a task which I have not the physical strength to carry through. To reform the ad ministration of the federal govern ment to realize my own ideal, and-to fulfill the just expectations of the people, would indeed warrant, as they could alone compensate, the sacrifice which the undertaking would involve, but in my condition of advancing years and declining strength l reel no assurance of my ability to accom plish those objects. I am therefore constrained to say definitely that I cannot now assume the labors of an administration or of a canvass, un dervaluing in no wise that best gift of heaven, tho occasion ana tho power sometimes bestowed upon a mere individual to communioate an impulse far good. Gratified boyond all words to my follow countrymen, who would assign such a beneficent function to me, I am consoled by the reflection that neither the Democratic party nor the Republican, for whoso future that party is tho best guaran tee, does not now nor over can deT pend upon any one man for their suc cessful continuous progress in the path of noble destiny. Having given to their welfaro whatever of health and strength I possessed or could borrow from tho future, and having reached tho term of my capacity for such labors, as their welfare now de mands, I but submit to the" will of God in deeming ray public career forever closed.
