/ RIMBLE'S LETTER.


II. III. Trimblc wrote a letter. He
couldn't think of much to say, so he
thought he would copy an old SANDER
and assail the press of this district as
a "subsidized press" He says near
ly every editor in the district is "a
postmaster. That is wild assertion
for even a Democrat to make. So
tar as we have been able to find out,
and we claim to have a pretty fair
knowledge of the Sixth District,
there are just three out of over thirty
Republican editors in this district
who are postmasters. But even sup
pose they were, does d. 81. Trimble
pretend to say that holding a post
office disQualifies a man from TELLING
the truth as he sees it. We do not
think any one hereabouts will claim
that the HERALD was ever influenced
by that consideration in its course,
but that it hit head whenever one
appeared, if it desired to do so. The
Oskaloosa HERALD and New Sharon
Star, two papers edited by postmas-
tiers, were the first in the district to
declare against a third term Presi-
dcncy, the latter going so far as to
say it would not support a man thus
nominated. That does not look
much like being "subsidized." No,
no, Judge, it is not "pap" that makes
the best papers of tho 9th district
fight Democracy and support Judge
Sampson, but the fact that nearly ev-
cry editor was in the Union army,
wore the blne, fought rebels upon
the field of battle, and do not now
propose to bed with them, and help
boost them into power. 1t is be-
cause we recognize the same old
fight of ls6O-65, and see plainly the
same clements arrayed against each
other. 1t is because we see plainly
that the greenback effort is but a
Democratic dodge to gather votes
for Tilden, with the hope of electing
few Democratic members of Con.
gress in Iowa. 1t is because We see
two color lines--one floating the
stars and stripes, the other the hated
stars and bars. We can SEQ the re-
bel gray and it's Northern doughface
hackers just as plain as we saw ahem
on Southern battlefelds, when our
Presidential standard-bearer led his
Ohio brigade, or our Congressional
nomin &c led his Iowa regiment; just
as plain as we saw them when Tilden
voted for the resolution declaring
the "war four years Of failure" and
jeff Davis, with whom he sympathiz,
ed was ordering the white officers of
colored troops shot down in their
tracks, and all men who wore the
blue starved in Andersonville. These
and kindred reasons, rather than
paltry postoffices, make the editors
of the 9th district, Republicans.

THE LETTER ACCEPTING THE NOMINATION.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug 1.-THE Hon. George W.
Freddy Chairman of the Republican State Com
naittee-DEAR SIR: accept the nomination
rendered by the Committee, and will make
the canvass for Governor. As one of the
Presidential Electors, it was my purpose,
after period of needed rest, to enter the
canvass and give my best efforts toward the
success of our State and National tickets
After months absence. 1 had turned my
face homeward to fulfil this purpose, when
| was met by the news Of my nomination. l
had, and still have, strong personal reasons
for desiring to continue my present most
agreeable professional relations, but the
warm-hearted reception given me at several
places on my homeward journey, and on my
arrival at Indianapolis, together with the
all parts of the State, have overborne my
personal inclnation-I yield to what seems
to be the call of the Republicans to public
duty with a profound appreciation OF the I'M
deserved honor they have conferred upon
me- May not hope that those who have so
earnestly pressed upon me the duty of sacri-
ficing personal interests to what we deem the
public good will feel that this call comes to
them also, and will each in his place give his
time and influence to the success of our
cause? AS soon as some necessary prellmn-
aries are arrrnged, [ will enter upon as gen.
eral canvass of the State as the time and
my strength will allow. | defer until then
an expression OF my views upon the issues of
the campaign.
Very truly yours,
BENJAMIN HARRISON.

Our readers viii notice the phraseology
of the latter. He swears in each place
that this amount ",oas paid" in 1862.
We call especial attention to this because
the Chicago Times, claims the fees above
mentioned were only earned, not paid in
1862, bet Tilden under oath declares
they we're paid in 1852. This expose is
creating great excitement, and the lead
ing German Democratic paper Of New
York, the Stats Atits'mg, says: III Mr..
Tilden cannot give satisfactory explana-
ton of this matter, he is certainly not q
fit candidate for the Presidency" While
others say he must explain or leave the
ticket. Poor Sammy His hatred OF
the Union and his love of money, is likely
to prove his ruin yet

MONROE TIP,
TILDEN AS A PERJURER?

Poor old bachelor Tildeh. He has had
nearly all the crimes in the book charged
to his account, and at last the n. Y.
Times pins down on him the charge of
perjury and swindling the government,
during the war, out of his income tax,
swearing to $1,000, when in reality that
same year he received $4,000 from the
st. Louis Alton & Terre Haute r. X. COM
pany. The latter part of the statement
he has recently sworn to, and some nous
er among the records found he. only paid
on $1,000, that year. The above is the
company thathe swindled out of its bonds,
&c, and the sworn statement, as above
was made In Tilden's answer in the suit
the company made against. him. SO in
one case or the other he has sworn to a
lie, and it makes no particular difference
to US which, though the government will
probably investigate the matter and see it
there is not some income tax coming from
Sammy. AS Tilden was rebel sympa-
thizer during the war, and as the income
tax was a war tax, he may have felt that
it was no crime to swear against that, and
thus sWindle government he had no
sympathy with, but it puts him in a poor
light as a model reformer. The statute
of limitations protects him from prosecu-
ton for false swearing, but it does not
protect him against prosecution for recov-
cry of the tax, and the prosecuting attor-
ney will at once begin suit to recover what
he swindled the government out Of. .
What difference between the twocan-
didates. Thus far nothing has been
charged against Gov. Hayes except that
he is an honest, upright, straightforward
man, was a gallant soldier, and viii make
a pure and able President On the other
hand Tilden has been proven to be reb-
el sympathizer and a soldier hater, swim
der of the government, the companion
and ally !. of Boss Tweed, Tammany and
John MOrrissey, and hundred other
things, anything but reputable. Take
your choice between the two men. We
believe We prefer Hayes ..,s......-.

muIIIgan's standing In boston.

New York, June 1.-The Times has
a special from Boston in relation to the
standing of Mulligan there. 1t says the
effort to impeach Mulligan's testimony
in the Blaine Investigation is looked
upon by Blaine's Warmest friends with
very little hope or favor, as Mulligan is
known as a mar of facts and figures;
clear. headed, cool and consistent; a man
who cannot be bribed, bullied or broken
down; one of the best and most accurate
accountants in the city; a methodical
and accurate book keeper. Mulligan is
a bachelor, has been in this country
many years and stands well in the COM
munity. Editorially the Times says:
" The extraordinary proceedings of yes
terday before the House committee re-
veal Mr.. Blaine in a light which is fatal
to his availability as a Presidential can
didste. That fact will be as serious an
objection to him in the eyes of practical
politicians as a distaste fo- his charac-
ter and associations have already proved
to the thinking majority Of his party. "
The Tribune says: Some explana-
ton about the letters is indispensable, or
it will be believed that they conceal
something which will not bear the light"
