Assaults on T,Iden.

Some Of the Democratic papers begin to
feel solieitous about the amenities of the
canvass, and dep. .ecate the Republican at
tack upon Tilden, especially since Gov.
Hayes has not been assailed by the Demo
Gratis. The reason why Gov. Hayes has
not been assaiied by the Democrats is
because he is inYulnerable, and there
is no spot on his private life or public
career. So far as the assaults upon Tilden's
character are concerned, it should be re-
membered that they originated in the house
Of. his friends. 1t was the Chicago Times
that bespattered him " ith mud, and applied
to him every epithet in the vocabulary of
its Billingsgate. It was the Cincinnati En-
quirer that predicted his Administration,
if he should happen to be elected, would be
the most corrupt ever known in tha.history
of this country. 1t was the Cincinnati En-
qairer, also, that exposed him as a shin
plasters fnancier. Il was the New York
Express, that first published his dealings
with the Terre Haute, Alton & st. Louis
Railroad. It was Democratic newspapers
that bestowed upon him the names Of slip
perry Sam, Railway Shark, ''Shinplaster
Sam, etc., etc. It was such Democrats as
Horatio Seymour, Augustus Schell, August
Belmont, Judge Church, and others, who
ass led him at the outset The Republi-
cans have criticised his public career, as
they had the right. The Democrats origi-
mated the assaults upon his personal char
acter, and first exposed him to the country
in his true light as corrupt politician, a
ballot-box manipulation, and a railroad
shark. Il does not come with a good grace,
therefore, for them to complain of Republi-
can treatment to their candidate. So far as
his public acts are concerned, the people
have right to know their character, that
they may vote intelligently. A candidates
career is and always should be subjected to
the most searching criticism. There is no
safety in any other course, and neither Til
den nor his supporters have any reason to
complain of it. So far as assaults upon his
private character are concerned, the Repub-
icans have not yet made any stlicturcs that
were not first made by some of his Demo-
cratic friends, who have since come into his
support

This is the cry all over the now united
South. as well as in every Democratic
stronghold in the North.
The cry for reform is doubtless IN iini'A-
t;on Of tbe~ resistless demand for reform
tbat characterized the campaign OF lSAO,
-, tbe ery Of '' Harrison and Reform :
oa,-ie5 the election as If by storm, giving
onIr seven states and one-fith the electoral
vote TO the Democratic candidate.
Tilden and his party imagine that the
empty and meaningless cry of reform will
carry the country as in 1s4O. The differ
enee between this election and that lies in
this important fact that the corrupt Demo
cratic party of 1910 nc led reform to such
an extent that we can hardly compare 1t
with the present administration. The
amount Of stealing, PceulatiOn, and official
aafalcation in Van Buren's administration,
according to reliable official tables, was
eighty times ss great as during the last
term of Grants administration, and sixty
four times as great as the ave age Of both
terms. No wonder the people wanted re-
form, when dishonest Democratic officials
were swindling the government out OF more
than twenty dollars in every thousand dis
bursed- The last Republican administra-
tion has been called COZ. .upt by TilGen and
his friends, but no DemOci attic regime has
ever begun 10 approach il in official hon
esty aud faithinlness. True, it has swim
died the public out of iwenty-six cents on
every thousand dollars disburscd, but the
last Democratic administration CGuchan-
ans showed defalcation to twenty-seYen
times that amount. The cry Of reform IS
not applicable to the present time as it was
during Democratic rule, nor will the people
who desire reform again venture to place
that party in power.

Tuden,s Indictment.

The Cincinnati Times has summed up
the charges made against Tilden in the
four weeks which have elapsed since the
nomination. 1t makes no account of mere
campaign stories and rumors, but confines
its list to charges which are susceptible of
direct and positive proof and it finds that
Tilden is guilty, first, of disloyalty to his
country and of such sympathy with armed
treason as to demand an immediate cessa-
ton of the War, and the holding of peace
convention with the rebellious States; Sec
ond, ofmaking an immense fortune through
the instrumentality of railroad rings at the
expense Of farmers and stockholders; third,
of breaches of trust as attorney for individ-
uals and railroads; fourth, of lending his
name and influence to frauds by which
Hoffman was counted in as Governor of
New York; fifth, of being close friend
and political partner of Boss Tweed at the
time the latter was plundering New York
City Of millions of dollars; sixth, of contin-
uing his relations with the most corrupt
members of Tammany after their corfup-
tions had been publicly exposed; seventh,
Of receiving 81, 1000 from Boss Tweed to aid
in the fraudulent campaign Of 1868; eighth,
of refusing to assist in the movement to
break up the Tweed Ring until forced to do
so by the accidental eeuring of the books
Of the thieves by the New York Times;
ninth, of taking no steps topunish the Off
GERS who allowed Tweed to escape, and of
pardoning thieves from the Penitentiary
who were convicted with Tweed; tenth, Of
being the legal counselor and manager of
such frauds as the Erie Ring, the Fort
Wayne Ring, and the Continental Improve
ment Company; eleventh, of being the le-
gal counselor and tl,lstcd adviser of the in
famous Credit-Mobilier fraud; twelfth, of
completely with the wholesale bribery of
the New York press under the.sgt1as OF
Tyc2a and company. These twelve charges
that have already been made are capable of
proof that would be deemed sufficient in
court Of law. There are numerous others
that are matters of public notoriety. No
public man in American history has ever
come before the people asking for Office
with such terrible indictment hanging
over him And yet this man, loaded down |
With corruptions and iniquities, has the i'm
pudence and hypocrisy to talk of reform.
and to ask for the suffrages of the Ameri-
can people upon the ground that he is going
to purify politics!

are vain, commend rs to Slippery Sam.

designations continue to be received by

News from Scranton, Pa, is to the
effect that the organization of miners
known as the Molly Magnires, are again on
the rampage, committing assassinations
and other outrages upon those who dare to
oppose them. Some half dozen murders
have been committed, within short time,
among them the jurors who have given YER
diets against them. There is tolerable
good chance for the use of saltpetre.
There is not an honest man in the land
but that knows that fair and square cleo

South where the ''banditti' congregate.
Therefore, the President has done the right
thing in providing for the protection Of ev
cry man in his right to vote free and un-
challenged on account of race, color or
partisan sympathy. 1t is apparent there
fore, that the Democratic scheme to carry
a solid South next fall by the aid of bowie,
pistol and life has been nipped in the
bud. A Democratic howl will no doubt go
up about military interference.
This is what brought it. That long-de-
layed and anxiously looked for letter of
Sam Tilden-it now appears-was hurried
up by John Keuey-the Tammany chief
tain. The final appeal was made in verse
as fOllows-and it brought it:
1t is all very well in some cases,
To hesitate, ponder and think;
But, Sammy, this case is most urgent,
For the bummers are starving for drink,
The committees will give US no money,
The bar-keepers won't trust dram;
Sure Wen choke while we wait for that
letter.
For PHYS sake write to us Sam.
