NO GLIMPSE has yet been had into the pri-
vate life Of Gov. Hayes that did not show
him true to every profession of his public

Towards biography, which was written to
Gen. James A. Garfield in March of the pres
ent year: "My notion is that the true con.
test Is to be between imitation and sound
currency. The Democrats are again drifting
all to the wrong side. We need not divide
on details, on methods, or time when. The
previous question will again be irredeemable
paper as permanent policy, or policy
which seeks return to coin. My opinion is
decidedly against yielding hairs breadth.
We can't be on the initiation side of the ques-
tion. We must keep our face. our front,
firmly in the othe direction. NO step back
ward must be something more than un-
meaning platform words. 'The drift of SEN
timent among our friends in Ohio,' which
you inquire about, will depend on the con-
duct of our leading men. 1t is for them to
see that the right sentiment is steadily up
held. We are in condition such that firm
ness and adherence to principle are of pecu-
liar value just now. would Consent to no
backward steps. To yield or compromise is
weakness, and will destroy us. If better

AN EMINENT jurist, now on foreign tour,
for many years nominally a Democrat, bnt
taking no active part in the politics of the
country was recently asked what he thought
oil the political outlook. The questioner, be-
ing fully aware of the Judges aversion to
politics, hardly expected any well-digested
response, although he we'll knew that if his
query had been in regard to law point, he
would have been favored with clear and
decisive answer, phrased in the tersest lam
guage. What was his surprise therefore,
when the Judge raised his eyes from the
American journal in which he had been
perusing the action of the ex-Confederate
House, and said: "I have just discovered
the mission of the Democratic party of to-
day." 'Tndeed! am surprised" ''Yes, L
have though. II has puzzled me long, and
has in quiet way occasioned ME at times no
little concern. But now that is all dispelled,
and the whole thing stands out as clear as
sunlight" "And what may this mission be,
pray?" "Why, it is simply to keep the Re.

Tilden and Reform.

During the summer call was made by
some citizens of Penobscot county for the
publication of the amount of fines collected
by the county officers in order to meet a
SANDER of Marcellus Emery's organ. The
officers not only published the amount Of
such fines, but in addition thereto gave the
names of those who paid them. About the
same time call appeared in the CONNER
cial with quite large number of signers for
the organization of Tilden Reform club.
Of the signers over fifty appear to be the
same names which appear in the criminal
list of the prosecuting officers. This is a
beautiful Illustration of 'Tilden and Re-

Campaign Notes.

The LogansportInd) Star has kicked the
Democratic ticket overheard and come out
squarely for the Republican ticket.
The Democratic detection to Peter Cooper
is so serious in Indiana that Hendricks be-
gins to have doubts about the State. and the
Republicans are sure oft.
The emblems of the Hayes and Wheeler
club at York, Pa, are pitchfork and wheel
to pitch into the canvass and wheel out
heavy vote.
The Lawrence american says: "We be-
ieve that Mr.. Adams would prove as popular
as an iceberg at Christmas, and run just
about as WE'LL"
There was very quiet election in Arkan-
sas. Under the shotgun rule of the Democ-
racy the negroes keep away from the polls,
and all is peace.
Prominent Democrats boast that Tilden Is
worth $5,OOO,0O0, and that he will spend
$1,000, 900 in this campaign- rather than be
According to the Philadelphia Times
(Ind.) there is ''indubitable documentary evi-
dence" to prove that Tilden defrauded
the Government of income tax on
more than 100000.
"Out of his own mouth'' Mr.. Tilden
stands charged with deirauding the Govern
ment and committing perjury. II is not be
meath his dignity to explain it. if possible, and
he should speak.
No more conclusive evidence of the i'm
proved financial condition and better credit
of the country is needed than the fact that
whereas Government was obliged to pay
seven and three tenths per cent. for money
at one time during the war, it can now get
all it wants at four and one-half per cent.
Hendricks declaration that no man should
be put in office "who has furnished money
to corrupt elections" cuts himself of, for he
furnished to his subordinates the $4,000
that was furnished to him to corrupt the elec-
tion In Indiana in 1872. 1t cuts Tilden of,
too, for he has furnished and is furnishing
money to corrupt elections in every doubtful
state.
The great Republican victory in Vermont
takes the wind out of the Democratic argu-
ment that the hard times were due to Re-
publican mismanagement. If that style of
argument could prevail anywhere 1t would be
listened to in Vermont. That the people
utterly refused to be guided by it shows how
little confidence they have in the possibility
ofany benefit from Democratic success.

The Bloody Shirt.


The only reason the Democratic party has
Tor existence is the prevention of the estab-
iishment of equal rights for all men. This
purpose is freely avowed by Democratic jour-
nails in the South though feebly disguised by
Democratic leaders in the North. The pur-
pose, often openly avowed, everywhere Sc
cretly entertained, is the elimination of the
negro as a voter. On the one hand the Re-
publican party represented by the govern
ment feels itself oEce more called upon to
maintain the rights of the enfranchised COL
ored man as set forth in the constitutional
amendments. On the other hand the De
mocracy, refusing to make the bestIof the sit
uation. grumblingly acquiescing in what can
not Immediately be helped, but steadily bent
on return to the old order of things, are
working with all the energy and hope which
come of fanaticism to overawe the colored
vote and to reduce the negro to condition
OF peonage. Pretending to accept the sit
uation they do not accept. All through the
South wherever the blacks are in a numeri-
cal majority intimidation of voters has been
practced. 1t is within reason to assert that
there is not one Southern state in which a
fair ballot will be taken next November,
should the Northern October elections show
that ''united South" will secure the elec-
tion of Tilden. The plain truth of the mat
ter is this: the ''bloody shirC' has been lifted
up by the ex-Confederates of the South, with
the stains of Hamburg upon it. The men
whom the Republican party have enfran-
chised are calling for protection, for an op.
portunity to cast their ballots for the candi-
dates of thoir- -ohoioe,-~aa-t tho -Rer~biivun
party can do no less than heed the cry. If
this be "faunting the bloody Shirt then
Republicans plead guilty to the charge, and
Democrats are welcome to all they can make

duty it is to equalize the appraisement of

in reducing the appraisement of the Water

Ine opJect tnat LOOK This Democratic
county clerk to Louisville is obvious, though
he tells the Democratic candidate for the
Vice Presidency that ''t is not necessary
that you should know the Details" Of
course Gov. Hendricks clearly understood the
nature of the business in hand. But did he
expose the rascal and put an end to the nefa-
rious scheme? Not bit of it. The Demo-
Gratis have had much to say about Gen. Kill
patrick lately, but now that the General has
unearthed this precious little document While
hunting for the thief who stole his letter they
will doubtless be anxious to drop the subject.
1t is not an edifying sight to see '.reform''
candidate for Vice President mixed up in
this manner with contemplated. frauds and
crimes upon the ballot.
