NO TYLER MEN

The Old School Republican contains call for
State Convention of the friends of John Tyler, to be
held at Columbus on the 9th of January, signed by
between nine hundred and thousand names and
says that many more signatures were obtained which
were not received in time for the publication of the
call. We recently noticed similar call for TYLER
Convent in Philadelphia, signed by over three
thousand names. Does this look as though there
were no Tyler men in the country, or if there were
that their numbers too insignificant to be con-
sdered of any account in the approaching Presiden-
tial contest? We trow not. Perhaps the Globe and
Ohio Statesman cypher out how large portion
of those who went with the Democratic party lS4O
it afford to lose and still carry the election in
1914. For ourselves we give itup; the problem is
too mpenetrable for our darkened understanding
and have therefore thought the best policy for
the Democratic party to treat with fairness and to
deal justly by the Administration Of John Tyler and
his friends

CAME HE TO RECEIVE HIS APPOINT
MENT AS MIDSHlPMAN IN THE NAVY

To these pregnant questions we have been
for several weeks prepared to give direct and
emphatic answers but, up to the present mo-
meni, our columns have been so entirely filled
with the Message of the President and the ac-
companying documents, that we have been
obliged to defer what we had TO say on the sub
ject.
"Who is Il of Kentucky'2 and how came he
TO receive his appointment in the Navy 2" have
been several times asked by some of our brother
editors; and insinuations of disreputable cha
racter have been INDUCED in, with regard TO
them. We understand that quite stir was
produced in the city of Richmond, Va, not long
since, by certain ex-member of Congress
John Minor BoHS-who, it seems, not only in
dulged in a wanton, and we had almost said pu-
sanmous, attack upon the character of an abb
sent man, charging him with one of the highest
crimes known TO The law, but also in a strain of
language which, if we are correctly Informed,
none but a desperate and abandoned man would
have used.
So far as Mr.. Bots's private charges are con-
cerned, we have them to be settled in private
manner. Mr.. Langhorne, we understand, is
shortly TO return to the United States, when he
cat speak for himself He boarded in the same
mess with Mr.. Bots, and consequently, how
ever untrue the declarations made by Mr.. b.
may appear from the papers we give, he is pre-
sumed TO be conversanl with the substance of
those declarations.
| But if Mr.. l.. was guilty of the crimes charg-
ed upon him, why should he have been so pow
eruly endorsed by this very mess-by Garrett
Davis, Thomas +. Marshall Gov. Pope, John
White, and all the rest, in addition 10 the Post
master General and his son, Judge Marshas
nephew, &c, &c.
Why, if the young Mr.. Tyers, as asserted,
caused the appointment of MIR. L., does not the
record show it? The only note land all are
called for, as mW be SEEM written by either
of the Mr. Tylers, is short official note from
the Private Secretary, transmitting letter OF
young Mr. Wicklihe TO the Secretary Of the
Navy, without EXPIRE ssing one word in Mr.. LIS
behalf; and we are authorized to say that mel
ther of the Mr.. Tylers exerted themselves in
the least manner to obtain Mr. LIS appoint
mep.
Governor Pope frequently urged it upon those
young gentlemen 10 say something in behalf OF
Mr. L., and their action 10 the matter was en-
