lGyTiden and Hendricks have been heard
from Their letters appeared on Saturday
last and are longer than the moral law. They
have said nothing new and they said it in
such a way that the wonder is that they
hesitated so long about saying it. Thirty
seven days were occupied in conferences made
necessary by the differences Of opinion that
existed between the candidates. The fight
was a hardly contested one and the victory for
a time doubtful, but the letters show that if
any thing Hendricks and imitation came out
ahead and that Samuel j. Tilden, the i'm
maculate hard money saint was compelled to
join his party in its feast of crow. Both the
writers make a pretense of holding out the
idea that the most perfect harmony prevailed
throughout their several conferences, but if
the assertions Of newspaper correspondents
are true they are the heaviest specimens of
harmonious chair pins the world has yet
seen. If they believed at first what their let
ters representing as believing now they have
insulted their party by not promptly announc-
ing their acceptance within twenty-four hours
after the receipt Of notice Of their nominations.
Instead Of that they have held, their party in
suspense for thirty days, have invoked
Congress to repeal the resumption clause Of
the act of 1875 to make the way smoothe to
them, and did divers other crooked things to
the great disgust of the country including all
the sensible members Of the party. Our dis
tinguished ncighbor over the way will of
course think it all right, but he will find
precious few to really agree with him. What
a contrast between the conduct of Tiden and
Hendrick' ; and that of Hayes and Wheeler

EVERY man, in this land Of the free should
make politics an every day study, and Of
course every man should be politician. In
other countries having those who exercise
political power through the so-called Divine
right, politics may in the private citizen be
looked upon by the rulers as superfuity
Here however the people are the rulers and
the Office holders the servants, though for
want of intelligence properly to exercise their
prerogative, the party leaders have reduced
the fact to mere myth, and in consequence
the servants have in reality become the mas
tiers and control things pretty much to suit
themselves. This is an evil which must be
eradicated if we desire to maintain the idea
Of sovereign people intact, and to this end
every man, no matter what his position in
life, has it incumbent upon him to not only
study the ordinary political lessons Of the day,
but even to extend his researches into the
higher realms Of craftsmanship Needing
this proposition we shall all be better able to
watch the tricks of the political charletans,
and make our government what it was really
designed to be a government of the people,
for the people and by the people.

Ry= We cannot, if we wish to accomplish
any great amount of good politically here in
Monroe this fall, have the general orgainiza-
ton of the party throughout the county per-
pected too soon, and work should be COM
menced having that end in view at once
But our brethren residing in the county
should bear in mind that the duty lies more
with them than with Us Of making prepara-
ton for the formation of clubs and working
the people up to that pitch Of enthusiasm
which viii secure the interest of all in the
campaign. We last week gave a square,
and, as nobody will dispute, fair definition
of modern Democracy. We set forth what
even Democrats will admit, that to be a
Democrat, as understood hereabouts, means
neither more nor less than to permit few
self-constituted leaders who are as ignorant
of the distinctive principles which divide the
two parties as are the persons who suffer
themselves to be led by them. We also set
forth what were the real objects of modern
Democracy and how they hoped to effect
them. This we did so very affectualy that
a doubt need no longer linger on the mind OF
any one, and we conceive that it but needs
that this matter be properly and INCREASINGLY
worked up to draw hundreds of the men who
are at least Republicans from the ranks OF
this body cheats, who have thus far worked
upon the fears and loves Of their deluded
followers for their own unworthy personal
aggrandizement The best means of accom-
plishing this end is without doubt cluL
meetings where sentiments can be exchanged,
and where speeches, documents and free con
versation will be on hand to aid in bringing
the truth squarely forward. In this work
the country must take the initiative, under
the assurance that in every thing needful
they will have the hearty cooperation of the
town club already organized and at work.
VIII our country friends think this matter
over, and prepare for work at once
