The common assertion, that hard things
said Of candidates for Office, are all cam
peign lies, has little weightin brushing
away and disposing of the charges against
Samuel j, Tilden, The charges in his case
stand out In bold rehef-materialized.
Such is their nature that they cannot be
met byany one but Mr.. Tilden himself, for
they are the charges of Mr.. Tlden against
himself. They are solemnly sworn to and
fortified and sustained by the signatures Of
that gentleman himself. They are, too,
heinous and gross such as never before
were laid at the door Of presidential can
didate-no less than fraud and perjury
such as no innocent man would allow te lie
at his door without demand for investiga-
ton and the punishment Of the defamer.
Yet these charges have been made and re-
iterated for weeks by responsible parties,
who challenge and defy legal process and
investigation. They occupy the attention
Of the country. and all eyes are turned up
on the Democratic candidate for extrica-
tion from this dilemma. But the party i'm
plicated-the man whose character and
reputation are thus assailed- is as dumb as
an oyster, and as deaf as an adder to all
calls Of friend or opponent to meet and
squelch these damaging allegations. In
the meantime the campaign goes on, and
the conclusion begins to fasten upon the
public mind, that there is no defense to be
made; and as the aspirant is thus sloughed
over, who cannot but be Stunned by every
honest man and patriot, looks for support to
the venal and corrupt to carry him on to the
White House. Are we ready for the belief
that there are stubborn and shameless par
tizans enough with the aid of repeaters,
ballot box suffers and other corruptionists
in our cities and borders, to give success to
one thus virtually convicted of infamous
crimes? We trow not.

rhe oonredsrate supremacy.

In the reign of the Democratic party be-
fore the War. the Southern wing Of the par
tv claimed and held control Of all the i'm
portsnt Committees in Congress. When
ever vacancy occurred in the Chairman
ship Of a Committee Southern man was
appointed. Douglass, who had been 70
years Chairman Of the COMMITTEES on Terri
tories, refused to vote to admit Kansas un-
der the Lecompton Constitution, aRd was
deposed by vote, and Missouri Senator
put in his place. In this way at last there
was but one Northern man left as Chair
man Of Senate COMMITTEES, and that was
Jesse D. Bright. The past sessions OF Con
gress witnessed the return Of the DemOera-
cy TO power in the House, and Mr.. Kerr
was compelled to award to the Southern
and Confederate members the Chairman
ship Of twenty-{our of the Committees Of
the House to which the Confederates have
been appointed as Chairmen, to the exclu-
sion, Of course, of so many Northern Dem
ocrats. Northern Democrats were not ap-
pointed Chairmen Of more than five Com
mittees having the least Importance or con-
troll Of p.4Olic affairs. This, considering
that it was the first session for twenty years
that the Democrats had a majority in the
House, shows that the Confederates are pre-
pared to claim the same supremacy that
they always exercised when the Democra-
tic party was in majority. The election
of Tilden and the Democratic party to
power is to hand over the whole Govern
ment to the ex-COnfederates.

pOTTTTcAT

The Declination of Seymour has demor-
allied the democracy of the state. 1t was
a trick of Tilden to get man of his own at
the heed of the ticket, but like good
many of the operations Of smart men it
hasn't worked, the decent democracy saw
through it, and they blocked TiIden's little
game by demanding a re-assembling of the
State convention, and deal from fresh
pack which had not been so carefully stock
ed. Who the coming man is no one can tell,
but it will not be mere tool of Tilden's;
that is, he will be supposed to be free from
the Tilden influence. This distrust Of their
presidential nominee seems curious to peo-
pie outside; but it is well understood in
New York where he is well known. No
one has confidence in him. He is known
as sly. underground, selfish, ambitious
man, who has not a thought outside of his
own advancement, and man who would
sacrifice his nearest friend to make a step
for himself The Democracy feel that he
has thrown away all hope of carrying the
State, and have virtually given up the Pres
idential race, unless it can be carried by
some gigantic fraud. But they are doing
desperate work, and warn the Republicans
of the country that it is not safe to sleep.
The Mails are burdened with documents
the committee in this city have lists Of eE-
cry voter in the country, classified 'Demo-
cratic" Republican" Doubtful" and
documents prepared for each are being sent
out by the million. They are working
with more system and energy than ever.
This sly, underground, silent work is Til
den's best card,-it is the one he has always
played, and because they are holding no
big meetings and making no great outcry,
don't fancy they are doing nothing. Til
den trasts nothing to committees. he is
in the fight to win-he is playing for the
patronage of the government, and he is su-
perintending it all himself. He writes his
own pamphlets, and sees that they get into
proper hands. ''To your tepts. oh Israel"
1t is notable fact that the Democracy
of the East dare not do a thing till they
have asked Tammany. The proposition to
nominate Charles Francis Adams for the
governorship of Massachusetts was held in
allegiance till boss Kelly of this city was
heard from. The partner of Morrisey
thought the matter over, and finally said
be was willing and accordingly he was nom
mated. As As-Tammany furnishes the mon
ey to carry New England States, as well as
the repeaters, the propriety of consulting
Tammany is apparent. Butthink of de-
scendant Of John Quincy Adams asking
permission of New York spokesman to bea
candidate. The bones of the "Old elo-
quent" must have turned ever in their .eqf-

Tho troublesome charge Of perjury made
against Tilden, and the inability and ap-
parent indisposition to attempt an expla-
nation Of it, has put the Democracy to its
wits ends. Seeing no way of dispOsing OF
it, they have put their invention to work
to bring similar charge against Gov.
Hayes. Though the Hayes tax matter had
not even the basis Of a reasonable specula-
ton, Gov. Hayes has not hesitated to make
a clear and convincing exhibit of his perso-
nal property. The matter has been inves-
tigated by the Board of Equalization and
county officers, made up of his political
opponents, and they attest to the fact that
he paid tax upon all his personal proper
ty at valuation above its worth. The
Democratic paper at the home of the Gov
ernor declined to publish the libel from
fear Of the recoil. This foolish and wanton
charge was first started in Toledo paper,
and has received but little attention from
others, excepting, perhaps, the Chicago
Times Now that the charge of perjury
against Governor Tilden cannot be dispos-
ed of by the effort to put Hayes into the
same category, is it not about time for him
to give the public some explanation Of the
antsgonistic oaths? He has, however,
threatened in his home organ the Albany
Argus-that suit for libel against the n.
Y. Times might be instituted. To this
threat the Times makes reply, ''We need
hardly add in reply to the bluster of Mr..
Tilden's home organ, and other idiotic
critics, that the Times has made its charges
against Mr.. Tilden with full knowledge
of their fitness to serve IS the basis OF an
action for libel, and with entire readiness
to give Mr.. Tilden all the facilities which
he may desire for such q suit. y
The New York ITnesis a journal Of
character and recognized responsibility,
and able and desirous of making good its
allegations. Whythen, does Mr.. Tilden
hesitate to vindicate his innocence? Why
not give US Judicial demonstration before
election. and avail himself of its sdvan-
tagesP By his silence, the country is left to
settle down upon the conclusion that he is
guilty--guilty of an. Infamous crime that
exposes him to penalty and confinement.
Governor Hayes has put his heel upon the
serpent at once and established the falsity
Of the charges laid at his door, in the opin-
ion of every fair minded man, and yet we
wait fof Tilden.

Ameng the recent failures was that of

to take fifty yeents on the dollar. They owed
about million, and had goods to nearly
that'amount. When their affairs were in

A firm living in that way might reasonably
be expected to fail-it colld not beexpect-
ed that they could go on very long in such
times. But this is a fair sample of New
York habits. The wives of the members of
the firm were high-fiyers, who had aequir-
ed habits of expensive living in times that
would justify it, and they found it very in.

came hard, and their husbands were weak
