on his way home, but it will be something
like a month before his arrival-too late for
utilizing as campaign document.
That income matter is now in a fair way
to be ferreted out. The Int. Rev. Commits
sioner has taken the initiative in the way
Of development.
II the Confederate Democrats were not in
earnest about collecting rebel claims, why,
in the name of common sense, did they in
troduce bills into Congress that would, if
passed, call for $2,5OO, 600, 600?
Gov. Hendricks personal canvass is ex-
citing so little interest that his meetings are
scarcely ever reported, even in Democratic
papers. Last week, at Lafayette, he spoke
to less than four hundred persons.
Hon. Carl Schurz speaks in Massillon
Oct. 9th, and in Akron on the following
day. What was it the Democratic papers
and spouters were saying about Mr.. Schurz
having been Withdrawn from the stump.
Tilden has explained, but the great
trouble with the thing is, that no one but
Tilden or his private secretsry-Judge Sin
nat-has the key to it. The Brooklyn-N.
Y.-Argus GALES the explanation, Tilden's
evasion.
1t must be painful for Boss Tweed to
dwell upon the uncertainty. and doubt Of
his reception among his old friends. VIII

tai man be vain2
Some of Tilden's friends, in the face of
such positive evidence against him, insist
that he is an honest and respectable gen.
tleman.f If there is any respest to be paid |
to these claims, is it not too bad that the
record sticks so closely to him, which enti-
ties him to preferred place in the peniten-
tiary?
A secret Tilden circular, having for its
object the securing of a solid South for the
election Of Slippery Sam, has been unearth-
ed, the cSief injunction Of which is to Gear
ry every Southern State, at all hazards.
This injunc ton is being carried out, and
scarcely DAY passes that does not witness
the breaking up Of Republican meetings,
and the killing and wounding of negroes.
In the course Of Carl Schurz's recent
German speech in Milwaukee some one in
the audience cried out: ''Did Mr.. Schurz
know all this when he went with the Demo-
eratsY' ''No, sir" replied Mr.. Schurz,
you have it wrong. In 1872 the Liberal
Republicans led the way and the Demo
Gratis followed. In 1876 the Democrats
lead, but the Liberal Republicans refuse

The Northfeld robbers have been brought
to bay, and four of the gang captured.
They were chased into an open prairie, and
bad hard fight in which one was killed
md two were wounded. Two of those cap

we're connected with the train robberies Of
Missouri.
There is a curious and characteristic diff
erenee between the declaration of Govern
" Hayes and Governor Tilden on the sub
eet Of second Presidential term. Gov
'rnor Hayes, in his letter Of acceptance,
ays: 81 desire to perform what regard
duty, in stating now my infexible pur- I
ose, If elected, not to be candidate for
e-election to q second term" Governor
'lldsn, 10 his letter, says: '1t might en-
ourage delusive expectation if withheld cc
ERE the expression Of my conviction that !

lete and permanent until its chief magis- 9
rate is constitutionally disqualified for re-
lection" The one, frankly and openly, I
'romises not to be candidate for second S
erm. The eothsr, eunningly and with men J
a. reservation, says he thinks there should 7

President from reelection. The differ
