Senator Booth, of California, for
Hayes and Wheeler.

Gen. Benz. N. Harrison, Republi-
can candidate for Governor of Indi-
ana, began his canvass of the state at
Danyille on the 18th. After Gen.
Harrison had addressed the vast con-
course of people, Senator Booth, OF
California being present, was next
called out, and made a brief but very
effective speech. He said

Sammy Tilden's War Record.

Immediatly on the close of the rebel
lion in 1865 there was published In
New York volume of some five hun
dred pages called the Tribute Book.
Its object was to make and preserve a
record of the munificence of the
American people during the war for
the Union. In its pages are presented
copies of every subscription paper
known TO have been made to help the
good cause.
The first paper of the kind was in
aid of the Seventh Regiment of New
York on the 18th OF April, 1861. The
first name was Moses II. Grinnell,
70 llowed byW. NJ. Evarts, Hamilton
Fish, Royal Phelps A. V. Street, and
forty others, each 500. In this the
name of Samuel J. Tilden does not
appear. although many of his political
and personal friends and associates
inscribed their names on this Roll of
Honor. Bear in mind that Mr.. Tilden
is estimated to be worth nearly $9, 900,
600. Had the contributions been to
enable the regiment 10 go on en- ex-
cursion he would probably have been
among the first TO sign.
On the 22d day of April came the
great subscription to the Union De-
fense Funds" William B. Astor led
off with $4,000; a. T. Stewart put
down $40, eco; James Gordon Bennett,
$1,000; August Belmont. 81 900; Oliver
Charlick, $500: William G. Hunt,
$3.50. and four hundred others appear
in like sums. Here again we find
the political associates of Samuel J.
Tilden. but his name does not appear.
On the same day there was a patri-
otic meeting of the bench aud bar of

If these figures nre kept in view
one can readily see the hollowness of
this Democratic howl for reform, but
they will fail to find the measures of
relief which the country had right
to expect from men who saw so
plainly how deplorably all things
were-from men who claruored for
power so bravely one year ago that
they might restore the nation TO its
wOnted prosperity-frou3 men who
were placed In power because they 80
plainly saw, and SO largely promised,
and yet after nine months haYs failed
to make a commencement. They
now ask us to trust them with further
power. They have failed to use the
power given for any wise purpose,
and what then has the nation to hope
for from them in the fure? Simply
further failures. We see, then, no
good reason for granting their re-
quest. -

The New York Herald says

Our advice To Bluford Wilson, after
reading the Plaisted evidence, is that
he should abandon politics and Presi-
dent-making and resume agricultural
pursuits. The United States does not
regard the President as O thief, and
the more his enemies try to prove him
to be SO, the more the people like him.
1t would not surprise us to see the
President go out of office as popular
as when he was first elected. Twenty
thousand committees sofinvestigatiOn.
each with n special Bluford Wilson
swearing to all he knows, will not
blot out the memory of AppomattOx
Court House and the famous apple
tree.

New York city in aid of the imperiled
country, although lawyer Of emin-
ence and accustomed to participate in
public meetings of the day, the name
OF Samuel j. Tilden does not appear.
| A subscription was started In New
York, in May, to help Frank Blair
raise regiment in Missouri. Again
We find the names of Belmont, Phelps
and other democrats among the con-
tributors. Here was case commend
ing itself to Democrats. But the
name of Samuel j. Tilden does not
appear.
Samuel J. Tilden, remember, was
among the millionaires of New York
city. Commodore Vanderbilt, q
more patriotic millionaire, gave a
steamboat worth about $3.50, 900.
1.-THE Tribute Book" makes a record
of numerous public meetings and fairs
TO raise money for the Union but in
all the five hundred pages of this book
the name of Samuel j. 1ilden does not
appear. Thousands of good names do
appear, and we hardly recall the
absence of another prominent citizen.
In March, 1864. the great Metropoli-
tan Fair was held in New York.
"The Tribute book, contained twenty
pages of the names of the contributors
several thousand. At this fair every
trade and profession was represented.
A. T. Stewart, again, $40, 900 James
Lennox, 5000; Morris Ketohum. S5,-
600; and other daily associates of Til
den, in smaller contributions. The
aggregate was 81 ,351 ,2T5 "a, and not
one dollar from Samuel j. Tilden !!
What shall we say of very rich man,
who saw, every day almost, other
rich men, his neighbors, giving fnon-
ey by the thousands to save our coun-
try, and he refused to give a cent !!
His name is Samuel J. Tilden. Sew
enty millions of dollars, Ii Is stated,in
this book, were voluntarily eontribut-
ed in the northern States ofthe Union.
Many thousands of names of those
who in some way helped to raise this
great sum appear in this volume.

Tilden, as we'll as Hendricks, was O
secessionist in principle before the
war. a lengthy letter written BY
. him, addressed to the Democracy, ia
1850, in opposition to Lincoln, snys
the election of Lincoln would
be sufficient good reason for the De-
mocracy of the south to carry out
their threat of disunioD. No Demo
crat living is able to show by any act
of his or scrap of history that he was
net a secessionist at heart. But there
are many acts of his of commission
and omission, and incontrovertible
history, going to show that he was a
secessionist Theoretically, and always
a consistent Democrat, IN that respect
And therefore We cannot believe there
lives a man on the face of the earth
soldier or civilian, who opposed seces-
sion and rebellion from pure and pa
triotic motives, and now desires the
election of Tilden. Their support OF
such ticket as Tilden and Hendricks
gives the lie TO all their pretensions
or avowels of loyalty. If the coun-
try should again be jeopardized as it
was in the days of Buchanan, Tilden
believing in the right OF State to
seeede at pleasure. would not oppose
it in any way, and every intelligent
man. of whatever party he may be,
knows ii. 1t looks reasonable to US

1t is very common thing to have
Tilden pettifogers speak of him as O
great reformer and refer in a general
way to the official thieves he has pun
ished. Bat did you ever hear any OF
these fellows give any specific cases ?
Did you ever hear them name over a
long list of individuals whom the old
savages relentless reformer had pun
ished? We guess not. They don't
talk about it in that way. for the very
good reason that T1lden never pun
fshed anybody. Not a single Tam
many or canal thief has suffered in
the least by any act OF Governor Til
den. He has not been instrumental
in sending any of them 10 prison or
in obtaining a dollar for any crooked
ness. The most important thing he
has done was to set his old friend
Tweed at liberty, after a Republican
court and jury had convicted him.
That's theklnd Of o Teformer TildeB

Reform and Democracy.

A Democratic House of Represen-
tatives at Washington has now had
nine months In which to institute and
prepare wise measures of reform.
The House. under the constitution,
has the exclusive right 10 originate
bills to reduce taxation. They passed
no bills for this purpose, and never
had but one such before them, and
this one was never taken up.
Hendricks, one end of their Presi-
Dental ticket, in his letter Of accept
ance, charges that the business de-
pressions throughout the entire cOun-
try is owing to the mismanagement,
corrupt and unwise policy of Repub-
licans. And yet during nine
months trial the Democratic Con-
gress did not originate and pass sin-
gle act to insure better times In our
business affairs not one act to revive
our dropping commerce; not one act
10 reform the abuses of which they so
long and SO loudly complain. 1t has
Investigated, and for this purpose has
had thirty committees at work. The
result thus far has been to besmirch
Secretary Belknap and that distin-
guished Democratic gentleman George
II. Pendleton. They tried Secretary
Robeson, but failed. They did, how
ever, find some of their own appoint
ees unfit for the positions in which
they were placed; and to sum all,
they fall back aud say, "Well, we did
reduce the appropriations several mil

Above is given the expenditures of
the Government for several years
during years, too, of high prices
showing in the aggregate large re-

departments were under the control
of Republicans, and not only were the
expenditures reduced, but at the same
time taxation was correspondingly re-

preparations amounting to SHY, 722, =
