MIsGOvERNMENr IN THE SOUTH,

views of Gov. Tilden of Ssw York.
The following are extracts from the
annual message of Gov. Tilden to the
legislature of New York. January 4,
1876:
MISGOyERNMENT IN THE SOUTH.
1t cannet be doubted that the sys-
tematic and extreme misgovernment
imposed on the states of the South
has greatly detracted from our nation
/ al prosperity. In those impoverished
communities it has not stopped with
ordinary effects of ignorant and dis
honest administration. 1t has infict-
ed upon them enormous issues of
fraudulent bonds, the scanty avails of
which we're wGs ed or stolen, and the
existence of which is public discred-
it, tending to bankruptcy or repudia-
tion. Its taxes, generally oppressive,
! in some instances have cOnfscated the
entire income OF property, and totally
destroyed the marketable value.
ITS EFFECTS.
In region five times as large as the
British isles and three times as large
as France, abounding in all the ~ele-
ments of natural wealth, it has de-
stroyed confidence and credit in all
transactions, diflused uncertainty and
distrust every where, and consumed
existing capital, while rctarding pro-
ductiOn and paralyzing the enterprise
by which such waste might be repair
cd and future growth assured.
HOW 1T Is MAINTAINED
This system, after its character be-
came known to us as well as TO those
directly affected, abhOrred by all
ihes intellect and virtue of the com
munities in which il exists, and
by their public opinion, has been
maintained through long years by the
favor and patronage of the federal
government, by the moral coercion OF
its prestige, by the standing menace
and occasional exercise Of its military
power.
INJURY TO OUR OWN PROSPERITY.
1t is impossible that such wrongs
should not react upon us. The iInme-
diate sufferers by il are the producers
of four-tenths of the exported COM
modities, excluding specie, of our
whole forty millions OF people, aud OF
the most Important raw materials OF
our own domestic manufactures. Thev
are agricultural communities, which
more than any other sell what they
produce and and buy what they con
sumo. They are our most valuable
customers for the products of our own
industries and for our merchandise /;
and they make US factors in all their
transactions. The state of New York,
which contains the commercial me-
trOpo1is, receives the largest injury !;
but its consequences extend through.
out the whole country.

THERE is not much chance for doubt
as to how the Germans of the country
stand. They are tor reform and hon
esty, not only in the abstract but as
practically exemplified in presiden-
tial candidate. They don't want a
man who is merely good because he
isn't bad. They want man who has
had some active Identification with
reform scorh;; and 1t is pretty evident
that if such a man enter the field 1t
makes no difference to them what his
party colors are. In short the Ger
mans have cut loose from clap trap and
bumbug and are terribly in earnest
this year. AS to Hayes they have
dropped him ont OF their attention.

The President has pardoned seven
Evansville men, convicted at Indian
apOlis for connection with crooked
whisky transactions. The second pc
tition for Mex ee's pardon has been
forwarded TO Grant, and the problbil-
tiles are. that he will soon be free.
There is not much doubt that Joyce
and Mcdonald will be set at liberty
before the gift taker leaves his seat.
The pard oning Of the seven Evansville
thieves is notification to the Whisky
Ring that all further proceedings
against them will be stopped. Grant
is getting in his dirty work for the
benefit Of the Republican party, and
his actions show clearly that that par
ty cannot carry the Presidential cleo
tion without the aid Of the Whisky
Ring and its money.

We frevnently hear il said that
there is little or no difference in the
platforms of the two parties on the
currency question. 1t strikes us that
they are in no respect alike. The
Radical platform is utterly silent in
regard to the repeal of the rascally
Sherman Resumption act, while the
Democrats i'm their resolutions declare
most emphaticalIy in favor Of its re-
peal. Let that fact be kept steadily in
mind.

At a Republican ratification lately
held in Newark, Nj. General Kilpat-
rick in speaking of Hayes says:
"lte is six feet two in his stockings,
weighs>one hundred and ninety eight
pounds, and can tie one hand behind
him and lick old Bill Allen in five
minutes. He can throw Sammy Til
den o: joel Parker over IA iye-rail
fence, and that's the kind OF Il Hay
seed he is"
VIII N il is known that General Kill
patrick received 500 for The above, il
will moi sound so sweet.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1876-07-06

A SHORT time before the meeting of
the Radical National Convention Gov
ernor Hayes declared that he was op-
posed TO the repeal of the oppressive
Resumption act unless some measure
which would bring about resumption
at an earlier day can be adopted. Re-
member this fact when the Radicals
attempt to play their double game on
this subject.

Thoroughly Sound but Not Committed"

''ThoroushIy sound but Not COmmitted.'
Senator Sherman on Gov. Hayes .
"IIe was good soldier, though not
greatly disting as such. AS a
member OF Congress, he was not a
leading debater OF manager in party
tactics, but he was always true to the
tendencies Of his party. And on the
currency question, which is likely TO
enter largely into the canvass, he is
thoroughly sound, but not committed
to any particular measure" Did you
ever, i'll the whole course of your life,
see anything that more early re-
sembled an attempt TO damn a man
with faint praise? But, the fact of the
business is, Hayes never did set the
river on fire, and nobody believes that
he could if he wouid.-LoutsUiUeC Cous-

The Truth of Prophecy.


+ On the 26th of April last, our young
friend, Harlan p. Hall, Esq, editor OF
the st. Paul Daily Dispatch, one ofthe
most wide-awake and reliable papers
of the West, made the following
THREE PREDICTIONS. H
"Without expressing any opinion as
TO the policy of making any elaborate
analysis of the '.signs "of the times"
the Dispatch wishes to go on record
as predicting: isi4uI lni tl,i
= "First. Governor II. B. Hayes, of
Ohio, will be the Republican nominee
for President at Cincinnati.
''Second. That Samuel j. Tilden OF
New Y ork, will be the Democratic
nominee for President at ST. Louis.
third. Governor Tilden will be
elected in November ,r.....,. .g.
The first two of these predictions
have already been realized, and the
other only awai1n the lapse of the
proper time. -u,ll5z aaA 200 slls.

my respects to the distinguished citi-
Zens from other states who are on

est political conventions that has ever
held a session i'm this country. These
distinguished men sympathize with us
in the interests which we intend to
protect by the change which is TO take
place at the coming election. believe
at the next election that the people are
going to express what is written i'm

what is written in the history of the
distinguished man that heads the tick

that the platform adopted at ST. Louis
declares that the resumption clause of
the act adopted in 1875 shall be repeal

liiiH We have devoted too much of our

Democratic National Convention to
admit of our indulging in any lengthy

have stricken out. The two great
questions with which it deals are Re-

are the questions most prominently

platform gives forth 10 uncertain
sound, and upon other subjects it is a
bold, open, manly declaration. 1t
