Voting for "a Chance"

It has been frequently urged upon
Republicans that they should vote for
the election of Tilden in order to effect
''a change" in the general administra-
tlon of the Government, and that such
change will be more effective when
made by the Democratic party than if
made by Gov. Hayes. The necessity
for this change is put upon the direct
ground that there has been 50 much
robbery, fraud, defalcation, and gen.
eral misconduct during the Republican
administration of the Government,
that a general publication of the Gov.
ernmental service, it is said, is demand.
ed. Have Republicans, who are urged
on this ground to vote for Tilden in
preference to Hayes, ascertained the
truth on this subject? Let us see
what the facts are.
In the first place, Gov. Hayes has an.
nounced that if elected he will devote
his single term to the elimination from
the public service all incompetency, un-
fitness, and dishonesty that can be dis.
covered, and makes integrity and com.
potency the standards of official en-
ployment, making no distinction polit.
ically between those appointed, or re.
tanned, or dismissed. Gov. .Tilden,i in his
letter, proposes a general dismissal of
all %hOoo r0vr, IN n,,1n1;o nor~,: m ooo,,,,o
ing them all to be Republicans the
appointment of new men, all Demo-
Gratis and then the publication of the
new force in the course of time.
These are two plans proposed by the
persons who are candidates for the
Presidency, and we submit that no
man who desires reform for reform
sake and not merely a bestowal of
party patronage, can for a moment re-
ject that of Gov. Hayes for the wild,
partisan spoils-system proposed by Mr..
Tilden.
But the facts do not warrant the de.
mand for any general change such as
made by the Democratic party. The
Republican party. upon the very in
slant Of its accession to power, was en-.
countered by q civil war Of long dura-
tion, involving an expenditure of
money, an increase of revenue, and an
expansion of debt and the issue of pa
per.money to which the nation had
been previously stranger. The loans,
revenues, and expenditures during
that period frequently exceeded dur
ing q year three thousand millions Of
dollars that is, that amount Of money

Q following is the, comparison

It will be seen that the Republican
party has so reduced the percentage of
fraud that now, under Grant, it is only
26 cents on the $1,000, while under
Buchanan it was 1881, and even under
Washington was as high as 2.22. We
submit this as the actual fact taken
from the record Of the Treasury De-
partment, and we ask Republicans who
find themselves urged to vote for a
general change in order to get rid Of
dishonest officials, to consider what
the change will probably result in.
Mr.. Tilden in his letter, avows that he
will reform the civil service by dis.
missing every man in the public service
and replacing him with Democrat.
Considering that Mr.. Tilden is the
chief of Tammany Hall, and will owe
his election to that organization, we
submit that the honesty of the public
service whose losses are. reduced to the
infinitesmal quantity Of % cents per
81 900 per annum, can hardly be re-
formed by such a 'change'' as will
be accomplished by the removal of
&C, 900 officials, most of them men of
experience and undOubted integrity,
and the substitution of an equal num-
ber of polititions selected for their
''hard work for the party" We SUBJ
NIT these facts to the consideration of
Republicans who are asked to vote
for Tilden for the sake of "a change -
A Carnival Of Fraud.
The Democrats, sailing under the
false colors of Reform, are making
a desperate fight for life. 1t is recog-
nized and felt by the ex-Rebels of the
South that, unless they succeed in
gaining power this time, they can
never again be banded together on a
sectional basis, but that men will di.
vide up among the different political
parties south of Mason and Dixon's
line as they do at the North. It is
recognized and felt by the Tammany
politicians of New York that there will
never be another opportunity for them
to get an immediate representative
in the White House. It is recognized
and felt by the greedy Democratic
wolves in all parts Of the country that
there will be left to howl in the will
derness forever unless they can break
into the doors of the government this
year. There is nothing in the record
of their past to which they can point
as an earnest Of their professions of
good faith in the future, and there is
no important issue of the time about
which they are not quarreling among
themselves. But there is one unfail.
ing Democratic resource which they
hope to use in the present election
more extensively and effectually than
ever before, and this is fraud. There
is scarcely section or district in this
country which the Democrats cherish
the smallest hope Of carrying where
they are not making preparations to
poll9te the hallot.box in ono way or
another, H.. H. =. ~

Balky Horses.


The Kentucky Home Journal gives
the following directions for breaking
up the baking of a viciously stubborn
horse: '*Put on your harness and hitch
him to anything you desire, either sim
gle or double, as you feel disposed,
and give him the commanding word to
90 ahead. If he goes, you have moth
ing to do or say but let him 60 on and
do your work; but if he refuses to go,
take him out Immediately. take all the
harness off except the bride, and take
IA small rope the size of plough lire,
and tie one end to the bit on the right
hand side, and pull it through the ring
of the left under the chop, pull his
head around to his left side, and slip
the rope under his tail like a crupper
and make it fast, keeping bis head
tolerably close to his side. Now all Is
ready, so let hun go and take good
long whip and make him 60, talking
kindly to him all the time. He will
travel like dog after his tail, for he
can travel no other way, but after
"a while he will fall down, when you
will Immediately let loose the rope and
let him get up; now talk kindly tc
him and caress him. Your work is
now half done. for you have only tc
+;o tho rnDo tn tho Ofhor side IF the
bit, and pull his head around the other
way, and make it fast like a crupper
the same as before, and start him of
again and let him go till he falls down
a second time let him get up imme'
diately and hitch him up, and you will
probably never have any more trouble
with him."

Is THERE ANYTHING CROOKED" IN SET
TLING A. 7. STEWARDS ESTATE ?-Some Of
the New York papers are talking rather
obviously about the manner A. T. Stewards
estate has been hurried up by Judge Hill
ton since his death. According to the
accounts we have seen, it appears that
while the late merchant prince still Law
robed for the grave in his house on Fifth
avenue, New York, an inventory of his
property, and especially the goods in his
stores, was taken, the amount, according TO
current but perhaps accurate report. being
found to be something like TWENTY-FIVE
millions of dollars. On Good Friday the
day after the funeral, his widow sold the
entire property, only excepting the real
estate in New York City, to Judge Hilton
himself, receiving in payment the million
of dollars which the dead man had left tho
Judge for his service in managing. closing.
and winding up the partnership business
and affairs. Such hasty change of owner
ship, such lively deal of so vast an estate
looks rather gigantic under the circum.
stances, and some of the papers are calling
for an explanation. Says the n. Y. Tribune
of Monday:
There was given to the public. with the
