To THE PoINT.-Samuel Tilden claims credit
for exposing Tweed and bringing him to punish
ment. 1t is a well.knowu fact hat TiIden presi-
ded at Democratic convention wherein Tweed
made speech in favor o. reform nearly one year
after the New York Times exposed his rascalty.
E. A. Storrs, in speech At Chicago, hit the nail
on the head when he said
"This Mr.. TiIden, the Reformer, after having
for years and years come at the beck and call OF
Mr.. Tweed, after Tweed bad been exposed by the
Republican press and the Republican party, jumps
on to the carriage when it is all ready to 60, and
the streets in good order for travel, and takes a
ride on it at Republican expense. Loud cheers
and laughter Let us have it out. Tweed was
tried by Republican judge, before Republican
jury, prosecuted by Republican attorney gen.
eral, convicted in the good old Republican way,
sent 10 Democratic Jail, Laughter, in charge
of a Democratic jaor, and escaped in the old
Democratic style Renewed laughter Thus
ends that lesson Of reform -

that speech:
"We got good many honest fellows into the

Are Ineu Gonna Bock?

A great many Democrats in this county, but
mere particularly in this town, try TO comfort
themselves with the thought that nearly all the
Democrats who last year supported the Reform
ticket are now ready and willing to go back and
Join their old allies-in other words, vote with
the new-fangled Reformers. In this they are
destined to disappointment, and it only needs
little time to prove conclusively to their minds
that what we assert in this particular is an in
ccntrevertable fact. We know that in this as
well as in other counties Of the State, berculean
efforts are being put forth to induce these Demo-
cratic Rvformers to return to the old party and
support Tilden and Hendricks. The kind of sue
cess they have met with has been clearly illustra
ted by an occurrence in this vicinity, besides
numerous others we might mention. Some of
the most steadfast and uncompromising Hayes
and Wheeler men can now be found among these
Democratic Refermers, fact which was amply
proven on Monday night last when the meeting
to form Hayes and Wheeler club assembled
here. These men were among the frst at the
meeting and were not afraid TO come forward
and show their hands. We have assurances
from other sections of the county that what is
true Of this section is true also of Others
Will some of the new-fangled Reformers tell US
what progress they have made in proselyting at
Woodbury., for instance? Have they met with
the encouragement in th't quarter they antici-
pated? The same might be asked of other thick
ly populated sections OF the county, and the an
swer would be invariably the same.
Towsontown is sort of head-centre-a place
where the issues of the day are oftener discussed
than at any other point in the county; and in
keeping their candidates constantly before the
people these modern 'reformers' are making
considerable noise and bluster, but are they
gaining any votes2 That is the question:
We have scanned closely the members of their
clubs in this place and we have yet the first
man to see among them who did not last year
support the old ring Democracy. Taking this
place as guide-and if they can't make head
way here they can't elsewhere-we don't see
where their boosted accessions are coming from.
Reformers, don't put any dependence in their
Boosting. 1t is all done to catch the unwary,
and to make you believe, by u great flourish of
trumpets, that their party is once more united
and now presents an undivided front. 1t is not
SO, depend on it, and coming events will prove
the correctness of this assertion.

GC- The editor of the Journal does not like
the style of language used by c. Irving Dirty,
Esq, in addressing Hayes and Wheeler club
in the city. We are not at all surprised at
this. Mr.. Dirty was a rebel soldier, always a
Democrat until last fall when he came out
manfully for the Reformers and against the
infamous Democratic State and city rings
Before he took this noble stand, he was, in the
opinion of Democrats, gentleman and schol-
ar. Now, since he comes out boldly against
Democratic rascalites, he is a man of little &C
count. worthy to be spat upon. Verify, con-
sistency thou art Jewell

FROM TILDEN's HoME-NoT A FAVORABLE OMEN.


"A correspondent of the New York Herald,
writing from New Lebanon, Columbia couRty,
(Tilden' home, gives some incidents in the early
life of the sham reformer, and tells some things
which are not very fla tering to the Governor -
Referring to conversation with two prominent
business men of New Lebanon the correspondent
alleges that these men "affirm that the reports of
large accessions TO the Tilden ranks from the Re-
publicans to be unmitgated fabrications, and
they furnish names and facts iu proof OF what
they assert. They give the names of Republic
cans who are said TO have gone over and who re-
side in the border towns in Berkshire county,
Massachusetts, and deny the reports IN toto in
terms that exhibit not very high respect for the
veracity of those who circulate the Statements
They even 60 further, aud aver that Columbia

by from 800 TO l 900 majority, will disOwn the
birthplace of Governor Tilden and cast its vote
for Hayes and Wheeler Now whether This prog
nostication prove true or not, there is one thing
certain, and that is thu, so far ms outward dis

-Tildeu is the first candidate for President
who has ever appeared in a court of justice on
charge of swindling. And this charge was
brought long enough before he was nominated
too.

GsD-I In one thing the Executive branch of
the Government is in accord with the House of
Representatives. Mr.. Scott Lord, of New York;

claring that call attempts by force, fraud, ter
ror, intimidation or otherwise to prevent the
free exercise of the right of suffrage in any
State should meet with certain, condign and
effectual punt SHINE emit" The Secretary of War
has accordingly instructed the General of the
Army to hold his force ready to protect citizens

pected by the Democrats when they passed it..

cylinder exploded, throwing the main body of
the cylinder beyond the horse power on the

of the machine, was oling the machinery at

was announced it caused general gloom
