st. Louis and Cincinnati.

The St. Louis ticket ought to be beaten.
The convention completed In the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Hendricks the evil which it
began in its compromise with the
inhationists Mr.. Hendricks is an
able and worthy gentleman, but
there is no use in Disgusting the fact that
his chief popularity now comes from his
financial heresies, and that he is nominal
ed less because he is a good man than be-
cause he is acceptable to the regulators.
Eastern democrats may amuse themselves
with the pretense that they have demol
ished the rag baby, but the whole country
nevertheless perceives the truth. Cheering
themselves hoarse over the threatened re.
peal of the resumption clause, paltering
with attacks upon the National credit and
naming for Vice President and possible
President of the United States one Of the
most conspicuous paper money statesmen,
the democracy in spite of the empty pro-
LESSONS Of the platform sets its face in the
direction Of reputation.
We have cordially recognized Gov. Til
denis great services to the State and his
eminent fitness for the highest office in the
land, and we rejoice that the democratic
party has been driven to nominate so adj
mirable a candidate. But yoked with Mr.
Hendricks and INSTRUCTED by bad plat
form, Independents cannot take the risk
of voting for him. The election of Presi-
dent involves the triumph Of party in
Congress and throughout the country and
if the inflationists who cowed'the conven-
ton and forced upon it a policy which a
majority of the delegates knew to be false
should gain possession of the House Of
Representatives. not even the firmness
and ability of President Tilden could
save the Union from enormous disaster,
The republican professions are weak, but
they are sound as far as they go, while
the character of the republican candidates
gives them a significance which they have

Tildcn's Centennial Message.

Gov. Tiden made Centennial speech
on Thursday evening which proved to be
a stump speech for himself. He never
loses an opportunity to make an "honest
penny politically, though the word IRE
form" emblazoned upon the Tilden banner
is explained by some Tilden men as be-
ing entirely opposed to that kind of thing.
The New York Times takes the Govern
or pretty severely to task for his speech,
reminding him that his record as Re-
former will not stand investigation. "For
the real evils" says the Times, on which
the st. Louis candidate expends some
rather turgid rhetoric, what remedy has
he or his party TO suggest Reform
reform of the public administration The
formula is compendious enough, but what
of the men who propose to do the work
Should We get an oflice-holding class less
numerous, powerful, and inscriptions"
from the party which originated the
spoils system, which gave us the old Tam
many and cherishes the new; whose lat
est reforms of the civil service produced
Fitzhugh, the Door-keeper, and Harring-
ton, the Clerk of the House? Would the
man who issued canal reports to serve as
campaign documents and employed his
Canal Commission to intrigue for their
own election be likely to frown upon the
interference of office holders with the ex-
ercise OF popular suffrage? The earnings
of labor have been diverted into the
pockets of plunderers by instrumental
ties Mr.. Tilden helped to foster, and by
methods to which he owes the creation of
his own fortune. There is hardly rail-
road corporation in the Northwest which
squeezes from the farmer or the forward
er toll which is augmented to meet the

One marked characteristic of the St.
Louis convention was the entire absence
of colored men among the delegates.
Not black man was among them. There
were members of the Confederate Con-
gress and Cabinet and plenty of men who
fought in the Confederate army, but not
a solitary black man was there. 1t was
a convention that gave the mos, indubita-
BILE evidence by the exclusion of black
men from the members, that all which is
said ia democratic platforms and in
democratic newspapers about the accept
ance in good faith by that party oil
measures adoped for the enfranchisement
and Improvement of the colored race is a
lie and delusion.

to hold out any longer on the Appropriation bills,

penses of the incoming year would seriously dam
