The Uattlc Ground.

In spite Of nll that the Republicans can
Dc Ivy bayonets and bribery in the South.
and by braI"u fulsehoods on the stump
and a large corruption fund in the North,
II Is certain that HAYES will he defeated
unless he can carry either New York or
the three states of Connecticut, New
Jors5y, and Indiana. Now. thOugh it is
quito probable that the Democrats three
weeks ago were SO weak IN Indiana az 10
place II among the doubtful states, yet
the recent election has proved that 1t is as
ure to go for TILpEN in November as
Kentucky Is. This fact. therefore, makes
New York, Connecticut. and New Jerscy
The battle ground Tor the remaining two
weeks of the campaign.
The frie ids of HAVE AMI corruption
will struggle desperately To capture New
York aud the two adjoining States. IL is

they will fight with the energy OF despair.
Nevertheless. We are confident that the
supporters Of TILDEN and Reform will put
forth such energy during the coming two

country from another term of Granti>m,

Dclano e. Calvin.

Our esteemed neighbor, the World SAYS
that If The SUN believes that Mr.. CALVIN
Is u corrupt man, and has good evidence
for believing il, The Sun does quite right
in opposing him for Surrogate.
We do believe Mr.. CALVIN to he cor
rupt man; we have good evidence for be-
licving it: and we esteem ourselves happy
in having the appreciation OF the World in
the course we pursue.
We consider the SrARrN award conclu-
sive evidence of Mr.. CALvIN's corruption,
quite as decisive rs any evidence there was
against TWEED or CONNOLLY. 1t was an
attempt-it looks very much like con-
spirncy-to defrnud the city ont of nearly
Four Hundred Thousand Dollars. IT does
not relieve the transaction Of one shade OF
its darkness that the fraud was to be pcrpC-
trated under the forms of law. The dis
Euise was thin and transparent only
changing the act from "a bold robbery to
assimiate it to that of sneak thief. No
man with n clear Judicial head and an en-
lightened conscience could ever have made
that award To contend that Mr.. CAIvIS
did it honestly is to concede that he has
not head enough to tend litter Of kittens.
Our esteemed neghbor fears that our
course In the matter may he hasty. ON the
contrary. IL Is well considered. Never
since the STARIN award have we intended
anything about Mr. CALvIS but to oppose
him. We should have denounced his
nomination earlier and Oftener and more
earnestly had we supposed it probable or
even possible. OF the iueffabe stupidity
Of the Tammany managers We had seen
abundant evidence; but that any party
should be so brainess and constituencies
as to set CALv up for Surrogate in the
face Of his SrARIN award, we were not pre-
pared to believe.
And now rs TO the effect on the Demo-
cratic prospects. about which the World
seems anxious: We wish TO see Mr.. TIL
DEN and Mr.. ROBINSON elected, aud
we have right hand which we
value; but we would sooner see
that right hand cut of than that
it should write one line, one word. one
syllable, In favor of the election OF any
candidate If it could not be accomplished
without dragging into Off Ice with him au-
other candidate such rs the man whom we
regard rs made Infamous 10y the SrARIN
award. That is where We stand. We are
uualternbly opposed TO restoring the old
Ring power, either under an old or new
leader; and if KELLY can elect CALVIN
Surrogate, he may as well make TWEED
Mayor and CONNOLLY Comptroller. The
Democratic party would be far stronger
to-day, in the city and in the State, with
all such candidates shaken from its skirts.
II CALVIN is TO be regarded us its strength,
then rs strength must be weakness indeed

We have trustworthy information that
the carpet-baegers In Florida are practising the
same desperate game that their fellow roguos
in South Carolina have put IN play, namely. in
citing Republican negroes to acts OF violence
against those Of their own color who propose to
vote In November for DREW, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, man who was an out
spoken and earnest supporter Of the Union at a
time when It required great courage to take
that ground in the southern States. In some Of
the counties whs-. the negro population is the
most dense, reign OF terror has been instituted
by threatening death to the colored supporters
Of DREW, and by the rough usage accorded to
those who were suspected OF an intention to
abandon the Republican party. In spite OF this,
however, the Democrats look for heavy col
ored vote for all their candidates.

Ohio newspapers continue 20 throw out
hints about the truly good Deacon RICHARD
SMITH Of Cincinnati and the disappearance Of
several thousands Of dollars Of a campaign fund.
1t Is almost needless for us to say that such
charges are entireiy without foundation. Dea-
con RICHARD SMITH Is a comparatively poor
man, and there Is no indication that he has ao-
CURED Illegal wealth from campaign fund or
from any other source. Nor has he any wees in
which he could have used up the money unob-
served by the world AZ large. IL "a true tn 1t for
some years past the Cincinnati Gazette has not
paid dividends, and but for the true goodness
OF Deacon RICHARD SMITH 10 might be supposed
that the campaign fund had oecn absorbed In
keeping up tue paper. but IL the money was
stolen and used for that purpose II was certainly
done oy Deacon RICHARD SMITHS wicked part
ners, and without his knowledge or consent. We
have as yet seen no evidence TO STAKE our 1rm
faith Ia the true goodness Of Deacon RICHARD
SMITH Of Cincinnati.
