Governor Tilden reviewed the process
sion from a large stand erected in Union
Square. This stand was decorated with
flags on top; six great flaming torches
we're erected on posts around the outer
edge, and, as the sides of the stand were
swathed in red bunting down to the
ground, it looked as if grand triumphal
car had been driven up there and stop
ped to take on the corqueror. AS the
Governor ascer ded the steps he was fol-
lowed by retinue of distinguished men,
and a dozen more marsbals wearing
white sashes and carrying short batons,
wound round with red, white and blue
ribons, made way for the Governor TO an
elevation on one side of the stard. In
the excitement and enthusiasm of the
moment balfa dozen men seized hold of
tn e Governor and hoisted him up to the
place prepared for him 10 stand upon
while reviewing the procession. AS soon
as the crowd caught sight of bis calm
face, rear Of cheers went up to the sky,
the echoes of which did not die out for
fully five minutes. At that time there
were probably 10000 persons in and
about Union Square, and the number
was soon increased by at least 10000
more.
A display of fireworks from various
stands added to the novelty and interest
of the occasion. This grand demonstra-
tion carried dismay to Republican lead
ers and inspired confidence in Tilden,

READ AND PONDER-T THEIR LAST
RESORT.

The Republican party has robbed the
Federal Treasury of hundreds ofmillions
of dollars.
The Republican party has robbed the
Southern States of hundreds of millions
ofdollars.'
The Republican party has robbed the
Freedmen of many millions of dollars.
The Republican party has been bank
rupted by the desperadoes who have seiz-
ed the public purse, and now grasp the
sword to defend themselves in its pos
session.
The Republican party originated the
Southern Claims swindle. 1t was organ
lied by Belknap's post trader con6dant.
The claims at the South we're worked up
by that ardent supporter of Hayes, Guer-
rilla Mosby,
These facts having come to light, Gov
ernor Tilden promptly declares that he
will oppose the entire swindle. The
Democratic party sustains him therein.
What does the Republican party do ?

become such through the exertions Of
Mosby, and the promise that if the Re-

publican Congress, and were not paid by

not. On the other hand, Republican

are everywhere stumping for Hayes.
The desperadoes know that these South

selves. They know that the Republican
party is solely responsible therefor.
Governor Tilden has emphatically
placed the Democratic party on the right

The Republican party is already on the
wrong side thereof.

TILDEN, HENDRICKS And
REFORM!

Mean honest and economical govern
ment--the supremacy of law as against
force.bayonet-negro o-Carpet-bag rule just
laws and all equal before the law.
Tilden, Hendricks and Reform then,
mean peace and good will throughout
the land-removing the heavy burdens
that have robbed the country poor, pre-
vented prosperity and brought hard
times"
Democratic Reform means a restora-
ton and recuscitation of the prostrated
industries of the land--means improved
trade and commerce. Justice will then
lead her sway and thus afford that "pro-
lection" that labor requires.
Samuel ]. Tilden's Administration will
be the opposite of Grants in all essential
particulars. In the White House will be
man of thought and correct habits of
life. He will be surrounded by wise and
honest men of large experience, not such
bummers and scoundrels as Chandler,
Delano and Belknap, BabCock and COM
pany. Let every good citizen then labor
for the good cause and thus promote the
good Of the country and his own good,
SO long have bad government and infa-
nous rule continued. The result is man
ifest in our evil times. Let us all labor
and vote for change.

TILDEN, HENDRICKS AND RE-
FORM.

THE South Carolina rifle clubs" which

their counterparts in almost every coun-
ty of the United States. They are SIM

authority of the several Republican Leg

SOUTHERN CLAIMS.

Fearful Burden to be Imposed on
Every Voter.

The last REPUBLICAN Congress pa g.
ed bills for the payment of Southern
claims to the amount Of $5,88l, 900,
These claims were worked up and
owned by REPUBLICAN Southern
Claims Ring, headed by General E, V,
Rice, the contdant of Belknap in the
post. leadership business. Circulars were
sent out by this REPUBLICAN South
ern Claims Agency, calling for the pres
entation of such claims. 1t is estimated
that these claims aggregate over $780,
100000.
Let the voters look at these figures and
answer whether they want to pay the
cost:
Total Southern claims. So, 500, 1929, 1856
Amount to be paid by Ohio, $2l3,659,55O
Amount for every person in
the State. ............... $65
Amount for every voter, ac-
cording to the census,
over. ...... ......... $3.50
About 200 bills containing and provid.
ing for such claims were presented at
the late session of Congress. Several of
them were general bills 10 pay for all
property used or occupied by the Union
army, without reference to the loyalty of
the claimants. These claims were most
ly introduced by REPUBLICAN men,
bers. They found no favor with the
Democrats, who vigorously limited awards
to LOYAL citizens whose claims were in
the hands of the ORIGINAL owners.
The total amount was $74 453-or $5,-
SO6,547 less than was allowed by tie pre-
ceding REPUBLICAN Congress.
The Constitutional amendment does
not prohibit the payment of these
claims-it only prohibits the payment
of the Rebel debt. With REPUBLICAN
success there is nothing in the way.
The Southern Claim Agents are the
most liberal contributors to the Repub-
lcan fund.
Mosby, the guerrilla, now the head of
the Radicals in Virginia, in recent let
ter publicly urged the election of Hayes
so as to secure attention to Southern de.
mands.

ALL FOR UNCLE SAMUEL.

The grandest political demonstration
ever seen in New York city was that of
Thursday evening, last week. Some 50,-
600 citizens bore torches, viz: $4,000
from New York, 10000 from Brooklyn,
5000 from Jersey city, and 1900 from
Hoboken. The scene of rendezvous was
in and around Washington Square, and
the various divisions were arranged in
twenty.three side streets and commenced
moving about nine o'clock.
The transpaTencies and inscriptions
attracted great attention, and cheers af-
ter cheers went up. The Sixth Warders
came with d banner inscribed jackson

THE income SANDER against Governor
Tilden is ausgespiH. Of course the Repub-
lican journals that lied so abominably do
not publish the vindication. The New
York Nation, however, which supports
Hayes, is creditable exception to this
course of gratuitous meanness and abuse,
when" says the Nation, I'VE called on
Mr.. Tilden few weeks ago to answer the
charges of the New YORK Times, we did
80 in the fullest belief that his true in
come, as made out by that paper, was
based on authentic data, or at all events
on reasonably Creditable information.
Now that we find that it was for weeks
calling him a 'perjurer' and 'swindler' on
the strength of an estimate OF his income
which was partly the product of guess
work and partly of invention, we feel as
if we almost owed an apology both to
him and the public for the amount Of
attention the matter has received in our
columns"
