THE latest report from the Demo-
cratic nominees is to the effect that
there is an irreconcilable difference
between Tilden and Hendricks on the
currency question and that they can
not agree and that's what's the matter
with the expected letters of accept
ance. Hendricks letter will probably
not be written.

THERE is already much bitterness
cropping out between the head and tail
of the Democratic ticket. Tilden has
sent his instructions to the Democratic
committees in Congress commanding
them not to report on the bill for the
repeal of the Resumption act, while
Hendricks is as actively engaged in de-
manding its repeal, even intimating
that he will not accept unless that part
OF the st. Louis platform is adhered to.
Altogether the Democratic situation
promises to become interesting.
The Findlay Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Hancock County, Ohio) 1870-1881, 1876-07-21

THE Democratic House has not yet
repealed the Resumption act. AS
Tilden and Hendricks are at logger
heads about it, they don't exactly know
what course to take. Tilden don't
want it repealed; Hendricks does, and
the happy family are very much
troubled about it.
The Findlay Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Hancock County, Ohio) 1870-1881, 1876-07-21

THIS is a very neat paragraph from
the Chicago Times, reliable Democratic
authority:
Tilden and Hendricks, two mere pro-
fessional party men, representing in
combination nothing but the "time-
honored" habit of the Bourbon party
to worship Good Lord and Good Devil,
would constitute probably the weakest
ticket it would be possible to concoct
at st. Louis. IL would be, on the very
face of it, an advertisement of total
political depravity. So palpable a
fraud would disgust both the friends of
honest money and the devotees of the
wretched legal-tender swindle, and re-
ceive the appreciation of none but po-
litical hucksters.

Dreaming TO a Purpose.

III the Boston Traveller we find this
statement: The brigantine Fred Eu-
gene (of Portland, Me.), Capt. Adam S.
Sma!ly, sailed from Bordeaux Nov. "a
for Key West, in ballast. On the night
of the twenty-ninth, when about six
hundred miles from land, Capt. Smalley
dreamed that he saw number of men
III peril, and could save them. He went
on deck, and ordered sharp lookout
kept, but saw nothing; then he went
below again and turned in and slept.
The dream was repeated, and again he
turned out. 1t was still dark, the vessel
was going free, but he changed her
course two points nearer the wind. AT
daylight he went aloft and saw vessel
to windward with signal of distress
flying. He Immediately close hauled
his vessel; the wind was blowing gale,
but he increased sail and commenced
beating to windward, but what he made
on one tack he lost on the next, for his
vessel was flying light. At last he de-
termined to make long stretch. calcu
After considerable time he had an i'm
preston to stay, and shortly afterward
observed three boats pulling toward him.
He hove to and received twenty one men
on board, the crew of the ship Sparken-
hoe, Of Dublin, which they had aban-
doned, unmanageable in a sinking con-
dition. A fierce gale followed, which
continued four days. When it abated,
Capt. Smalley put into Gibraltar and
landed the men, but by doing so lost
twenty-seven days. Freight8 during
this time declined, much to the injury of
the owners of the brig. The British
government made Capt. Smalley pres
ent of chronometer gold watch and
chain, with this inscription on the watch:
" Presented to Captain Adam S. Small
ley, of the American brigantine Fred
Eugene, in acknowledgment of his hui
manity and kindness in rescuing the
crew of the Sparkenhoe, of Dublin, on
the thirtieth of November, 1875" Capt.
Smalley is native of st. George, Me-,
and went to sea when only eight years
of age. At nineteen he was captain, and
since then has never experienced any Sc
rious accident to any vessel under his
charge. He has sailed many years for
Hon. Nehemiah Gibson, of East Bos-
ton, who speaks of him in high terms.
