The people are In earnest this year,
whether the politicians are or not.
Those who imagine that the injection
OF tho customary clap-trap into the
party platform is all that IL necessary to
secure popular support, are very much
mistaken. The reform parsnips of 1876
are not to be buttered by fine phases. .-
Hartford Courant Rep.)
Large numbers Of the shrewder and
more sensible negroes are declaring for
| Tilden and reform. This fact sounds
| singular, and to many will need the
strongest confirmation to be believed
but we are satisfied that it Is true and
will be found growing sentiment -
Atlanta Constitution Dcm.)
With theexception of Godlove s. Orth,
the candidate for Governor, the Repub-
lican State ticket Is good one. With
Orth's manifold sins to carry, the sue
cess OF the Republican State ticket Is
endangered by the nomination Of Hen
bricks. There Is no disputing the fact
that Hendricks Is popular man.

The Democratic party Is thoroughly
national In its aims, and the Republi-
can party is entirely sectional. II the
former Is successful, the Government
will be administered for the good OF the

the secret of his success thus far. He
works continually and vigorously, never
depending on chances. If he has an
end TO accomplish he uses the means at
hand which seems best calculated to
effect his purpose.-[T Troy Times (Rep.)
With that class OF citizens who care
more for reform than the other issues
Involved in the contest, Tilden cannot
fail to be the favorite, and in his selec-
ton the Democrats have acted more
wisely than the Republicans. who did
not dare to nominate their best men,

In this State Mr.. Tildeu was the
choice OF a large majority OF Democrats.
Some thought Hancock u more avail
able man, and some thought Parker
better suited to play the role that Gov.
Hayes played In the Republican party.
But Tilden was the first choice, and the
courage shown in his nomination in
spires enthusiasm. Dispatches come in
from all quarters representing the Dem
ocracy as jubilant over the result. San

The Democrats are disposed just now
to bring forward their best men. They
will assajl every weak place in the pres
ent Administration. The Republicans
can only reach success now by keeping
in the rear the entire brigade of Office
holders. all the doubtful men, and all
who have made themselves obnoxious
to the people. They win, il at all, by.a
new and radical departure. San Fran

1t is q rather too careless charge
which is brought against the Democrats
by their opponents, that in nominating
Tilden they surrender Ohio and the
Western States to the Republicans.
Why? IL it is because Tilden's hard
money principles. do not suit those
States, then the Republicans, in claim
ing them so readily, confess at the start
that they expect TO carry them on soft
money grounds. That is equivalent to
a plain declaration on their part that it
is as soft money party that they claim
Ohio and other Western States. Their
financial plank is all punk wood, in
serted TO make hard sound under the
feet Of the East and soft one under
those Of the West Bost. Post Dem
AS the Government will need the bulk
of its troops to carry Mississippi and,
perhaps, other Southern States for
Hayes, it is not probable that the expe-
dition against the Indians will be suf-
ficiently reinforced to prevent the re-
currence- Of such disasters. In the
death of Gen. Custer there will be to
the White House Republicans at least
one cause for quiet satisfaction. His
honest, straightforward testimony as to
corruption in the matter OF the furnish
ing OF army supplies, etc.. will reveal
their tenderest points no longer. His
accusing voice has been Silenced.-

On the subject, 50 important to this
coast, of Chinese immigration, the st.
Louis Convention takes high ground.
The Chinese are recognized as race SO
dissimiar to the Caucasian that ming
ling of the two is undesirable. The
plank demands such modification Of the
Burlingame treaty as may prevent the
further importation Of Mongolians.
This position is more positive than was
expected, and dispatches are already re-
ceived in the Cal office expressing the
satisfaction Of the people without dis
tinctioh OF party. With an anti-Chi-
nese plank in the platform and a re-
former like Tilden to stand upon it, the
