One of our subscribers who is engaged
in selling liquor, sends us letter for
publication. We are acquainted with
him. and we give his letter in his own
words, correcting his bad spelling:

the outside of the STANDARD this week.
They constitute a more powerful lecture
than we could deliver. We do not think
our young friend is as well pleased with
his new made friends as he pretends to
be. According to his account of them,

HONESTY AND REFORM.

The Bristow reformers are making
themselves hoarse by howling about the
corruption in the Republican party, and
they loudly proclaim their own purity
and honesty. and they claim that their
candidate is the only man in the United
States who is honest enough to be Presi-
dent The record Of their candidate in
the mule case is not evidence Of super
ior honesty, and the lies published by
the reforners show that their claim to
honesty is all a sham.
On the 22d of May, 1876, the Cincin.
natl Gazette, in order to satisfy the gen
uine anti islayery Republicans that its
candidate, Bristow, has been an anti
slavery man, said:
In 1850, 800 votes were cast in Ken.
tucky Tor Abraham Lincoln, and one oi
those votes was cast openly by b. II.

IN which we find this:

the field with his regiment, his friends

him to the Senate OF Kentucky. This

had been identified with the old Whil
party, and voted Tor Bell and Everett IN

No amount Of entreaty will pr@r-l &c

back that lie.

The Cincinnati Commercial comes to
time. 1t copies our inquiry, and then
gives the following perfectly satisfactory
answer:
The solemnity Of this inquiry is enough
to draw tears from the hardest hearted
Of men. and we, knowing that we must
reply, reply accordingly. And we will
be perfectly candid with the powerful ed
tor of the Standard We do not know
whether Bristow was for Bell and Ever
EFT in 1860 Further along, we do not
care whether he was for Bell and Everett
in 1860. As a colored man from Ken
tucky said, the other day: The man
who stood up in the Senate of Kentucky
twelve years ago, and advocated a gener-
al system of taxation for the education
of negro children must be pretty sound"
Now let the military editor Of the
Commercial get some colored gentleman
to say that a man who would vote in tine
Senate of Kentucky for the General Gov
ernment to pay the Kentucky slavehold-
ers for their slaves, must be a pretty
sound anti-slevery man. Or man who
who would take from the Treasury of the
United States nearly eleven thousand
dollars for getting claim of over one
hundred thousand dollars allowed by the
Government, which claim he knew was a
fraud, is the only honest man in the
United States.

Simon Cameron, when Secretary Of
War, was the first to propose the en-
ployment Of colored troops. His plan
did not then meet the approval of Presi-
dent Lincoln and his Cabinet, but they
afterwards became convinced of its wis
dom. and adopted it. Colonel Bristow's
term Of military service expired soon af-
ter the latter event. and though this was
at the most critical period Of the war, in
1868, he took no further part in the fight
Il Cincinnati Times.
The only thing that can be said of the
new Secretary of War, ]. D. Cameron, is
that he is son of Simon Cameron, and
that he Cameron senior) was Secretary
of War under President Lincoln, and
had to resign. That is the brightest
page in Cameron's history. He was
ahead Of his times. as Fremont was in
Missouri. when he pronounced against
slavery. 1t is too common to cast aside
the original anti-slavery men. who fought
the battles Of freedom when it cost much
to do so, and take up the eleventh hour
converts, like Bristow.

For five small "puffs" OF Tilden the Advertis-
ing Agency of Bates & Locke, New York, pays
50 50. This is seventy cents per pun. Too
cheap. Publishers Of Chinese newSpa pcrs
couldn't live on that.-lCincinnati Enquirer.
As we do not publish Chinee news
paper we didn't take that advertisement,
which was sent TO US. The Enquirer is
very right.
The above is from the Brown County
News one of the most honest Democrat
ic papers in the State. We have seen in
many Of our Democratic exchanges, no.
tices Of these advertisements for Tilden,
sent out by this New York agency, and
yet the holier-than-thou liberal reiormers
declare that the great moral reformer,
the German refugee, will stump Ohio for
Tilden and reform, if Bristow, the honest
Kentucky muleteer, fail in the Cincin-
natl Convention.

We have always had a good deal of re-
spect for the NJ. E. Church. Some time
since we spoke Of an anti-tobacco resolu-
tion which had been introduced in the
General Conference. and said we did not
know what would be its fate. Since then
we have noticed the following in the tel
egraphic report Of the proceedings

perance. utterly opposing the importa-
tion, manufacture, and sale of intoxicat-
ias drinks, and in favor Of legal prohibi-
tion. and advising all members of the
church to abstain from the use of tobac-
co, as injurious to both soul and body.
was adopted. The report also recon-
mends the Conferences not to pass can
didates for the ministry who use to-
bacco.
That is a move in the right direction.
Let the good work proceed. 1t would
greatly thin out the membership, if car
ried out. and to some extent the minis
try, but the church would then present
an organization OF which no pure man
need feel ashamed.

The address Of the Cincinnati Bristow
Club, in speaking Of their champion,
says
Reared in the political school Of the
old Whig party, he followed with unfal-
tering devotion the fortunes of his great
leader, Henry Clay, and shared with him
his adherence of the evils of slavery,
which was then so blighting in its inhu-
ence upon tho South.
No doubt Bristow is as good an anti
slavery man as was Henry Clay, and has
an equal adherence Of slavery. When
Clay was candidate for President. in
1914, he told the antislayery quakers at
Richmond. Indiana, that he owned fifty
slaves. Worth fifteen thousand dollars;
that they were as fat and sleek, and as
honest, as the quakers of Wayne county.

The Columbus Journal has the follow
ing
The New York Sun is perplexed and
disheartened over the revelation that the
Cincinnati Gazette has a correspondent
named Hellborn c. Miller, and thus
pours forth its lamentations;
The suggestions are not pleasant. but, as Mr..
Miller did not select his own name for himself,
me ought not TO be held accountable for It's ec-
centricity. The most important thing for him,
as ior every other man, N 70 1--we an honest, up
TO any one, and fulfilling every duty. IL he
does this, II makes little difference what his
name is; and, In fact, the act OF giving him n
wicked name becomes perfectly absurd and RI
diculous II his character and conduct are seen
appear that be Is q really depraved man, like
those wicked partners who have
dance OF affiiction, then the name Of HellbOrn
becomes startling from its lurd and awful ac-
curacy. Deacon Richard Smith should at once
20 near from him that MT. Miller Is indeed a
good man, altogether different from each and
all of the wicked partners.
1t is indeed strange how truly good
newspapers like the Journal and Sun
can 20 off upon false premises. Mr..
Miller's name is Hillborn, and not He'll.
born. lie was born in Bloomfield town
ship, at place called Rocky Hill, where
his father was at the time Postmaster;
hence his name.
We can inform the Sun that Mr.. Miller
is an honest man, and good citizen. OF
course he is not truly good man, like
the great Deacon, Richard Smith. There
arc few, if any, such men as the good
Deacon.

cinnati Bristow Club:
In 1868 Mr.. Bristow took the bold step
Of urging the manumission of all slaves
in Kentucky, and thfs, too, at a time
when the advocacy Of such cause was
dangerous.
We thought that slavery had been
abolished on the first day OF the year
1868, by President Lincoln's proclama-
ton, and how could Bristow be wrestling
with abolition after that? But Ken
lucky being a sovereign, independent
neutral nation, perhaps did not recog-
nize the action Of Lincoln's subordinate
government.
