Fortune moment, and took to the

an opportunity was given them to es-
cape, and they avaied themselves of it
and broke for the railroad like quarter

them since, it is supposed they took
their departure for parts unknown.
This is cheap aud eficacious way Of

IHE CHINEsE COMMISSIONERS -
The committee appointed by both
Houses Of Congress to investigate the
Chinese question on this coast, passed
here yesterday in a special car. The
election of 1ildsn and Hendricks will
render the labors of that commission
unnecessary, as the platform on which
they stand declares against the impor-
tation of coolies, and the immigration
of Chinese. As that is now insured,
1t matters little whether the commits
sion investigates the question or not.

If Tilden should be elected and
would strictly adhere to the Demo-
cratic platform, bio would be bound
to leave nearly all honest and able
Republican officers in their places.
Is any one so green as to believe
that he would do it? Will he not re-

are now active for his election, and
who have worked eagerly for his
nomination? Will he, therefore, not

EDITOR PEORIA TRANSCRIPT As
a great deal has been said concerning
a few gentle remarks that | made TO-
fore the County Convention the oth>
er day, and great deaf more about
remarks that | never made, / think
it right for me 10 tell what did say
First-I did say that the worst
ward in New York, the ward in
which there Is the most crime, the
most vice, and the most lice, would
give the largest Democrrtic majority.
Seoond-l did say, speaking OF
General Grant, that he had done
more than any other man, probably,
to save the nation and that when
heard dirty, lousy Democrat or
rebel SANDER and curse him felt
outraged.
Third did say that this was a
time of general suspicion-that ev-
erybody suspected everybody. That
if an Office holder had decent suit
of clothes, be was charged with steal
ing them, and that lazy loafers
would sit on the corners With faces
that had not been washed for year,
and denounco every man with
clean shirt as a thief.
Upon the subject of shirts, dirt and
vermin, | made no other observa-
ton.
What 1 did say is bad enough
without any addition whatever but
bad as it il, it is true, and | am will
ing to, and do, stand by every word.
do say that the worst wards, tho
worst cities, tho worst states, are
tho Democratic wards, the Demo-
cratic cities and the Democratic
states. ] DO not cay that the Ham.
burg murdercrs are supporters of
Tilden and Hendricks. | do say
that the haters of liberty-the assas-
sins of colored mon, women and chill
dren-the masked wretchos VINO ride
to the hut of the freedman and shoot
him down like a beast, disregarding
the prayers and tears of wife and
children, | do say that those men are
not for Hayes and Wheeler
| do say that the real friends of
liberty are the old friends of labor,
and that those who vote for Hayes
and Wheeler are the best friends of
liberty, labor and law.
| write for one reason, and for ono
reason only, | am unwilling that
any one should believe that | Judge
men by their condition or position,
instead OF by their heads and hearts.

THE st. Louis Globe Democrat pre-
sents two conundrums and answers
them as follows:
What was the biggest steal in the
history of American political rascali-
tv? The Credit Mobilier steal
Whose fine Italian hand shows itself
through all the transactions of the
Credit Mobilier Samuel j. Tilden.
Comment is superfuous.
But this one is unsolved:
If man can rob railroad com.
pany to the tune of 1000, and
still be the leader of the Reform ele-
ment of the Democratic party, we
would like to see q sum named the
abstraction of which would place him
among the corrupt element of the
same organization. The line must
be drawn somewhere, you know.

dorses tho opinion Of tho Chicago
Times that Sitting Bull Butlor, of
Hamburg fame, ought to be hung by
the neck until he is dead. The
Herald says: "When southern men
discover that tho murder of a negro
means hanging by the neck until
dead, the killing of negroes will be-
come very unpopular. The Den~o-
cratic party is now ieaping the fruit
of the encouragement which, for tho

negroes, in the conviction that the

HAYES AMI IIuDnr
An Iowa Germ an Shows that the Republican
only IL TO be Trusted.

The Davenport (Iowa) Gazette
publishesa letter by ex-senator Claus
sen. as influential a German as Iowa
contains, and hitherto Republican,
except in 1872. when he supported
Greeley. In this letter he discusses
the two candidates for President,
and his views will be found good
reading by all intelligent men. lie
says:
Hayes is evidently an honest man.
He entered the army against the re-
bellion at the commencement OF the
war. and remained in the army to
the end of the struggle. lie had been
wounded four times, four horses had
been shot under him, but still Hayes
valiantly persisted in fighting the
rebels uutil they were subdued. lie
risked his life for the welfare OF
his country. And in his letter OF ac-
ceptance he declares that, if elected,
he will not be candidate for q Sec
ond term to avoid the temptation OF
misusing the office for the satisfaction
of his personal ambition. These
points, it seems to me, arc strong ev-
licences of an honest mind, which is
mainly guided by keen sense OF
duty. Hayes, three times elected
Governor against the strongest can
didates in the Democratic party
Thurman, Pendleton and Allen-bas
shown good executive abilities
What better guarantees can we have
that he will carry out the principles
proclaimed in the Republican plat
form and in Hayes letter of accept
ance in relation to civil service re-
form? Hayes undoubtedly is aware
that in his declaration respecting spe-
Gle resumption by yielding nothing
to the friends of soft money, he has
offended many voters, particularly IN
Ohio and Indiana, and that his ex.
pressed opinions in relation to civil
service reforms are generally ct war
with the ambitions and aspirations OF
numerous influential politicians
But Governor Hayes has the candor
and courage to be perfectly open and
frank, virtue quite rare among
candidates for offices. 1t seems to
me that from the examination OF The
Republican candidate, and from the
principles announced in his letter OF
acceptance, the friends OF civil SER
vice can be satisfied that the appoint
ments bv HAYES. if elected President
| will be guided by strong sense OF
his duty to the country, and bis gooo
sound Judgment, qualities which
have made the administration OF En-
perez William highly distinguished
There is no cause whatever to feai
that any kind of Grsntism will be re.
peated in Hayes administration anc
his appointment to offices.
Now let US see what we may rea
sonably expect from Tilden. Wha'
