REPUBLICAN TICKET.

RUTHERFORD b. HAYES,
Of Ohio.
For Vice President,
WILLIAM A. WHEELER,
of New York.
lor Representative in Congress-Firss District
MARK H. DUNNELL.
REPUBLICAN TICKET.
TlLDEN.

The democrats are preaching "reforma-
ton" They talk and write almost con-
stantly of reform They allege that the
government under republican control has
become corrupt in all its departments, and
that nothing less than change il the adj
ministration can save it from disgrace
and destruction. In pursuance of their
wish for reform they have nominated Mr..
Tilden as their candidate tor President
claiming him to be suitable representa-
tive of the honesty of the American peo-
pie. Confident that his record was clear,
they were loud in their praises of MIR.
Tilden, claiming him as the great reform.
CT of the State of New York, and The in
vincible champion Of popular rights; but
while the democracy have been thus laud-
ing their candidate, others have been ex-
aiming the records, and hunting up the
facts, and the results are disclosed by the
New York Times, being as follows, viz:
In 1852 Mr.. Tilden made sworn state
ment in which he set forth the amount of
his income for that year which was subject
to IN "Income Tax" for the support of the
government-fxing it at $7,11800. 1t
now transpires that in suit at law against
. him by railroad company that he makes
under oath an entirely different statement.
In his answer to the complaint he alleges
that in the year 1862 he received from one
set of the bondholders of said road &c.,.
600, and that of another set of bondhold-
ers of the same road he received $4,000
more, all for legal services. This sworn
statement of having received $20,000OO
does not harmonic we'll with the story
told to the Revenue Assessor, giving his
taxable income as $7,11800. This appar.
cnt perjury creates a deep sensation all
over the country, and depreciates Mr.. Til.
den in the public estimation very much.
In the light of these facts he does not
seem to be just the man to put forward as
q, pattern of reformation.

Wet Grain.

A correspondent Of the Prairie Farmer
has novel way of protecting victor damp
grain from injury while in the bin. We
give it for what it is worth. He says
1.-THE remedy for these troubles is a few
stones scattered through the bin, or better
yet, few bricks. They will absorb the
moisture and the grain will come out like
shot. Try it, brother farmers, there is no
patent on 1t. This one item will be wortl,
the cost Of several years subscription to

by the New York Times regarding Mr..
Tilden's alleged perjury. Whether he
can explain the matter in any way re-.
mains to be seen. 1t looks like case OF
absolute! and undeniable guilt, and if 50
will prove q terrible blow to his pros.

may be the evidence against him.-Intcr

very significant one when taken il con-

viz: that III Democratic candidates
discouraged the war, and clamorcd for

who proved their Loyalty and their pat

Mourued BY Soldiers.

The Fitchburg (Massachusetts) Sentinel,
speaking of the recent death of the wife of
General Benjamin F. Butler, says:
The officers and soldiers of the Thirty
first Massachusetts and the Thirteenth
Maine regiments will hear with profound
regret of the death of this estimable lady.
The companion of their distress and ship
wreck upon the Inflated Mississippi, her
GOODNESS and resignation amid tho breakers
of Cape Hatteras. in that terrible night.
her heroism on the following day, when
the noble ship, in the broad sunlight,
and in sight of the Carolina coast, ran hard
and fast aground on Frying Pan shoals,
will never be forgotten. The shout of
Rladness that went up from 1900 voices,
when, against her will, she was safely
transferred to tho friendly deck of the
gunboat Mount Vernon, is still ringing
In my ears. Her genial presence dur
ing the exile upon Ship Islaud, the
only woman in ths department., and
afterward in New Orleans, boiling and
seething with the impotent rage of rebel
women, is remembered a. q solace and q
benediction. The mitigating influence of
the true wife and mother was felt upon
moro occasions than one. Not only the
soldiers of the Union, but rebels as we'll
were the objects of her care. General But
Ter and his children, in their sudden be-
reavement, will have no sympathizers more
sincere than the Old New England Divis-
ion, and in particular, the two regiments
which embarked upon the voyage of the
Mississippi"
