THE REPUBLICAN ADDRESS.

The Republican National Committee have
put forth an address TO the people of the
United States, begging them 10 renew the
party's lease of power for two years longer,
by next fall electlng another majority of re-
publicans to congress. They beg this favor
of the people, not on the ground of any pres
ent merits of the party or its leaders, or that
they have any promises to make for future
Improvement, but the hackneyed plea is re-
produced, that the republican party ought TO
be retained IN power for what they did ten
years ago-put down the rebellion and set the
niggers free Very probably if the temper
ance party, or the workingmen's party, or
even the democratic party with Douglas rs
President mad been in power by the same
accident that elected Lincoln in 1860, the re-
bellion would have been put down all the
same Crushing the rebellion was the work
of the northern people, and party affiliations
certainly had very little to do with 1t.
But the notable part of this address is the
facility if not shamelessness with which II
ignores and tries to hide out of sight all the
really living and vital issues of the day. II
utterly ignores the declarations of the Phila.
delphia platform in favor of return to spe-
Gle payments, and CLOSES that vital question
over as if it cut no figure in the politics of
the day. In the same way it is silent as 10
the great question OF civil service and Gus.
toms revenue reform; and ignores the whole
question of tariff robbery; and the malad-
minIstration Of the southern states and the
relations Of the federal administration 10 their
governments. The only point in the address
that has positive look about it, is covert
effort 10 commit the Republican party to
gigantic system Of internal improvements by
the general government. But tue manner in

TIE FALL OF BEECHER-

The BeecherTilton scandal, which broke
out with such renewed virulencc few weeks
ago, has rapidly eliminated In reaching the
object which DR.. Bacon probably had in view
in forcing Its rcviyal-to WIT the crushing of
Henry Ward Beeoher. The statement Of
Theodore Tilton, read before the examining
committee Of Plymc3t church on Tuesday,
and published in Wednesday, papers, seems
to close up every avenue Of Becchcrs escape
from conviction. lhe-statemcnt is so backed
up by documentary Gvidence-lettcrs from
Bcecher and his ewr bosom friends, that urey
must either prove HE guilt or that Titon is
the most conssmmate iorger and perjurer the
world has ever produced.
The statement of Bsccher is substantially
this: That ever since the marriage of TLco.
dore Tllton and his Elizabeth in Becchcr's
church ia 1867, The strongest friendship had
subslsted between the young couple and the
BeecherS, and that Hensy Ward had free &C.
cess TO Tilton's house AZ all hours and was in
and out almost daily. That in 1868 Beecher,
by employing suck arts 81 he was capable of
using, seduccd Mrs. TiltO2, and for year and
Il half afterward continued TO maintain i'm
moral relations with her. The charge was
confessed both by Mrs Tiltons.nd Mr.. Beech.
er and both expressed the greatest and most
sincere repentance for the act Moved by
various considerations, among which were
Nhe belief that his wife w&s more sinned
against than SHINING, and desire 10 avoid
public scandal both on his 0wn account and
tilat OF Mr.. Beecher, Mr. Tllton cundoned his
wiie's ohense on her expressing sorrow at
her crime, and accepted a written apoloey
from her seducer, and Tie matter was tor n
tine hushed.
Numerous letters from BeecLcr are ,ro.
duced TO back this statement, in which he
repeatedly confesses the great wrop,,n he
hss done his friend, admits that his cynosure
wogil crush him, that he would rather com.
nit suicide than face the shame, &c, &c
Yc. the day after this paper was laid be.
fore tie committee Becoher sends in a replv
1t is lsief, and he says il is only preliminary
10 fuller reply in preparation, the only oh.
ject of this brief one being at once to break
the force of Tilton's statement so far as il af.
fects the reputation of Mrs. Til,on, about,
which Beecher processes 10 be more con.
cerned than his own. The substance of his
story is, that his frequent visits at the Tilton
mansion, to his establishment, having greatly
excited the Jealousy of Til,on and caused an
estrangement between man and wife, he had
made an earnest effort 10 reconcile the two,
but had so badly failed IN this effort as to
make matters infinitely worse, and il was
in view Of this failure, and not his own
siniulness, that lie had feel; all that con.
triton, humiliation and shame of which
there is so much in his letters which Tilton
produces. This story looks entirely too thin

BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS.

Two weeks ago, in alluson to that massive
and expensive fraud played upon the people
of Illinois under the name of revision of
the statues we stated how ring at Spring
field, after carefully taking out two or three
hundred bank charters under the old free
banking law Of this state had Struggled a
repeal Of thai law through the legislature
under the revision dodge wthou. the mem.
bcrs so much as finding it out. These char
ters, especially should the currency clause of
the National Banking Law be repealed, VIII
become very valuable. and the ring, at the
head OF which seems to stand Senator Short,
of Vermilion county, will make fortunes out
Of them. ..|.....
But it seems the ring were not sharp alone
in the matter of bank charters, but came the
same dodge on the building associations. The
law for the organization of building associa-
uons in this state was passed but two years
ago, and thus far not over half dozen had
beel formed under It. But the law was
good one, and as people became more &C.
quainted with the nature Of these assocla-
tons, the probabilities were that they would
be organized with great rapidty, as they are
in many eastern states, where they haye be.
come very popular.
The Springfield ring also saw this, and
what did they d.? They struggled into the
Revised Statues" Il clause repeating the
Building Association Act, though not soul
in the state had asked for such repeal, and
not member of the legislature outside of a
bribcd tool of the ring probably ever had the
rcmotest suspicion that the law was to be re
rcalcd. The repeal, like the banking law,
took place in March, but was hot 10 go into
effect until the lst of July. Meantime the
ring took out charters tor building associa-
tions in almost every village in the state, half
dozen charters having within the last four
weeks been placed on file in the La Sale
County Recorders office, for building asso-
Citations at Peru, La Sale, Ottawa, Mendoza
and Sueator The object is palpable enough.
When the mechanics and working men of
Peru, La Sale, &c, desire TO organize build
ing association, they will find the law author
izing them repealed; but for a hundred dol
lars or two, they can buy charter of this
ring, For of course all associations for
which charters were procured before the law
was repealed, can go on the same as if no re-
peal had taken place.

THE COLLEGE BOAT RACE.

! For months past the chief topic Of Interest
among the sports" and the advanced students
of the leading eastern colleges had been the
proposed boat race TO take place Onthe nth
inst. on Saratoga lake, between the boating
clubs of the aforesaid leading eastern col
leges. In point Of fact, 1t was looked upon
as mainly an affair between the respective
boat clubs of Harvard and Yale, but the clubs
of other colleges were invited to enter the
contest to give 1t bigger name and prestige.
1t is said at the time appointed for the race,
1900 persons had gathered to see It, includ.
ing President Grant and all the leaders OF
the sporting circle" that usually surround
him There were two days delay before the
waters of the lake were in proper condition
for the contest, so that, instead Of taking
place on Wednesday of last week as appoint
ed, it took place on Friday, The delay great
ly diminished the crowd In attendance Boat
ing clubs from nine different colleges en-
gagged in tie contest, to-wlt: Harvard, Yale
Columbia Princeton, Cornell, Wesleyan
Dartmouth, Trinity and Williams.
The waters OF the lake were pronounced to
be in a proper condition and a start was OBJ
tained at AZ A. NJ. Al the signal al the
boats got off in fine style, Harvard took the
lead, with Wesleyan second and Yale third
followed by Columbia, Trinity, Williams
Cornell and Princeton in the order named
The Harvard boys rowed thirtyiour strokes
to the minute and kept :up. The Yale crew
rowed about thirty-twn strokes TO the minute
Williams was not faster, but Trinity's stroke
was very much quicker.
In the second mile collision occurred be.
tween Yale and Harvard boats, during which
Yalcs rudder was injured, and she had an
oar broken.
Yale at once fell behind. The Harvard
crew asserts that the collision was Yale fault
as she took Harvarl's water Captain Cook
denies this, and genera! testimony supports
him, The feeling between the two crews IS
very bitter.
7 While Harvard and Yale were tangled, Co.
lumbia shot ahead AS the boats entered the
finish the scene from the stand was very ex.
citing. Columbia led all finely by more than
a boats length, with Harvard second, and
Wesleyan, generally mistaken for Yale third
Within a short distance Of the stake boat the
Wesleyan crew made splendid squirt and
drew ahead of Harvard, taking the second
place. Others came in at different distances
behind. The Wesleyan crew claims foul on
Columbia. The general result is unsatrsfac-
tory. Yalc's failure to come in takes great
part of the interest away, and her friends all
claim the race to be fairly hers.
No official time was taken The following
time was taken on the signal-boat by Com
modore Brady:
Columbia, 1G;42; Wesleyan, 1914; Har-
ward 1864; Dartmouth, 17:0S; Williams,
1871 Cornell, 10; Trinity, IS :23; Princeton,
1888. 1891 ., p w. 1913
The unplcasantness between Yale and Har-
ward is said to be of old standing and either

beat in this race, so that the collision between
them was preconcerted affairand its occur
renee inevitable.
