ThurlOw Weed upon the st. Louis
Convention.

Thurlow Weed was interviewed in relation to
the work at st. Louis by Tribune reporter. He
said that he not disappointed in the result Of
the deliberations of the st. Louis convention.
The democratic party was unfortunate in not hay
ing a strong candidate to pit against Tilden, who
had to some extent been able to carry his manip-
ulstion into other States. lie had the support of
delegations from most of the Southern States.
John Kelly, who for many years had been the
most influential man in the Democratic party Of
this city, did not seem to put his opposition TO
Tilden upon tenable grounds, and appeared to
have lost his temper. The New York Express
would, Mr.. Weed supposed, support the nomina-
ton, but it had furnished the republican journals
with several "trst-ra notices" Of its nominee
for President Tammany Hall, according to i'm
memorial usage would support the ticket, but
the moral and political effect of all the ugly
truths they had been telling about Tilden would
return to plague the inventors. The nomination
was weak one. Gov. Tildens record would not
bear the scrutiny it would have to undergo. Mr..
Weed had not information enough to state wheth-
er or not the Western democracy would give Til
ten its united support. His opinion was that he
could not carry this State. The final result of the
Presidential canvass would depend very much on
the State elections in October. lie had no doubt
that Ohio would go largely for Hayes, nor did he
think 1t at all certain that with hendricks for
V ice President the democrats could carry Indiana.
Most Of the Southern States would vote for Til
den, who made himself popular there by giving a
cold shoulder during the rebellion TO the Union
cause. There throughout the southern, mid
die and western counties Of this State strong and

"ShinplaSter Sam"

This term, "Shinplaster Sam" is not one
invented by Republicans. 1t is the en-
dearing cognomen which the Cincinnati
Enquirer, the leading Democratic organ
of the West, applies to the leading Demo-
crat of the East. Gov. Tilden. In
deed, prominent Democratic papers, like
the New York Express and the Cincinnati
Enquirer, are furnishing the Republicans
campaign tracts by the score to be used in
case Mr.. Tilden's barrel of money carries
off the St. Louis nomination. The En-
quirer says that this title of honor, "Shn-
plaster SAM" is based on an stgation
into the manner in which Gov. Tilden and
other mining spectators flooded the upper
peninsula of Michigan with worthless
and spurious shinplaster currency. There
were fifty-eight ofthese mining companies
and all were engaged in the manufacture
of currency, the returns OF six of which
are thus stated;

would have preferred to remain where he is; for
what he asked, is the honor to him, standing in
the shadow of his desolate homei Speak to the

struggle of young men seeking to make their way !;
years ago he had himself tramped through the
storms and SHOWS of winter to his first district
school in an adjoining town. In the log houses OF
the neghborhood, through the shrunken roofs OF
the humble farmers houses he had, at night, lit
orally been star gaZer; but in his widest dreams
and highest building of castles in the air, great
an honor as that now conferred upon him had
never occurred to him. This result shows
that in this country every man of character
il the equal of every other man. lie said
that political feeling will assert itself dur
ing tic campaign, but he hoped the personal rea-
tons existing between him and the people of his
home would remain unchanged, as his greatest
desire is to retain the esteem of his friends and
neighbors. Mr. Wheeler retired amid hearty ap-
plause. lie was deeply affected as he referred to
the desolation which had come upon his home,
and in the sympathy shown by the audience was
visible the esteem in which he is held here.

Jubal Early i "a bitter opponent of Hayes and
Wheeler.
The republicans of the eighteenth District of
Illinois, have nominated Benjamin l.. Wiley for
Congress.
In the Fourteenth District of Ohio, the republi-
cans have nominated p. S. Grasscup, of Ashland,
for Congress.
The Evansville Courier, the leading democratic
paper Of southern Indiana, refuses to support Mr.
Tilden for President.
And yet, with all Tldens dcxterty and Sey-
mour's speaking, the contest in this State will be
close and doubtful, with the chances rather
against the democrats.-NeW York Herald.
Letters from William d. Kelley and Elisha W.
Davis were read in the republican Convention for
the Fourth District of Pennsy lvania, pledging
those gentlemen to abide by the result of the con-
vention. Mr.. Davis name was then withdrawn as
candidate, and Kelley was nominated by accla-
nation.

for Hayes and Wheeler. because the republican

A telegram from Terre liaute, Ind, says that
the nomination of Tilden is received with rejoc-
ing by the republicans and with dissatisfaction by
the democrats there Three democrats out Of
four say they will not vote for him, and the
Journal, the leading democratic newspaper of the
city, repudiates the nomination.

The first issue of this rag money was IN
1868, and up to 1874 over $l00.o0o,0oo
had been issued At first these notes re-
sembling greenbacks were given i'll pay
ment for labor. As a natural result this
bastard currency drove all legal money
ont Of circulation. In 1874 some one
counterleited the Tildcn shinplaster and
was tried for the alleged crime, but Judge
O'Grady TUNED the case out OF court on
the ground that the Tilden mining shin
plasters could not be made the subject OF
forgery because it was a spurious and
bastard currency and utterly worthless
for the purposes of circulation About
this time the revenue officers began to
look after the circulation of this currency
for the purpose of collecting the tax.
which in the twelve years previous
amounted to several millions OF dollars.
But, bv some means Tilden's friends got Il
bill through Congress the night of March
3. 1875. renting all of the tax on this
great circulation except for the last year.
In June, 1870, just enc year ago. Mr..
Tilden paid into the internal revenue de-
parlmcnt Sl3l25, being onc-twelith of
one per cent tax on the 1878 900 of shin
plasters issued by his company alone in
the seven preceding months before it was
stopped. Compelled to take this bogus
currency, the laborers of these companies
have been compelled to purchase their
supplies at Mr. Tilden's stores at the most
exorbiiant prices, whereby the great Re
former has been enabled to pocket very
handsome profit out of the toll of the poor
men. OF late the companies have not
been allowed to issue their shinplasters,
so the poor miners have not been paid off
in three months, but compelled to get
credit at the stores of the companies
where they have to pay twenty per cent
more than cash prices. Thus the laborers
are kept in state no better than serfdom.
This is a beautiful picture the great
Democratic apostle of hard money, the
issuer of Unlimited shinplasters--the loud
ly proiessed champion of the laborer, an
oppressor and swindler of whole COM
munity of defenceless poor men in his
business dealings with them.
Don't say it comes from republican
sources. 1t does not 1t comes from the
leading democratic paper of the southwest,
the Cincinnati Enquirer, and is youched
for by that paper as entirely correct. The
above, however, is mere trifie compared
with his railroad transaction, which the
democratic New York Express pronouuces
"another Credit Mobilier."
Yet this is the great and shining light Of
the democratic party-the sole represen
tative whom they dare name "Reformer.'

Facing Both Ways.

The democratic ticket is made to face
both ways on the currency question. Ill
den is placed upon it as the representative
of hard currency, and Hendricks, the
leading infationisi Of the West, is joined
with him to representa- the soft money side
That these two men are committed to
Numerically opposite policies on the
money question Is too notorious to admit
of denial. Mr., Tilden is on record as an
advocate Of hard money, and Hendricks
is on record as friend of soft money.
Tilden sought the support of hard money
men in reaching for the Presidential NOM
ination, while Hendricks appealed to the
rag money side for support Tilden
waged war against VIM. Allen in the Ohio
campaign last year. while Hendricks
stumped the State in favor of Allen the
soft money plank in the platform being
the cause of the opposition of the first and
the support of the last to venerable Uncle
William. II Mr.. Allen is not too old to
be amazed at anything which may occur in
democratic politics, he must be astonished
at the union OF the names OF Tilden and
Hendricks on the democratic ticket, re-
membering in what relation they stood to
him last year when he was a candidate
before the people of Ohio.
The currency issue is one of the most
important involved in the present cam
paign. The republican party in nominal
ing Hayes and Wheeler. and by its decla-
ration. of painciples, took its stand in IA
vor of hard money. 1t made no attemp.
to play q double part. Mr. Hayes was
put forward and elected Governor of Ohio
last year as the representative of hard
money. in campaign where the currency
issue was the principal one, and William
Allen was his competitor. OF the opn-
ions of Governor Hayes there is no room
to doubt. And Mr.. Wheeler is as decid
eddy in favor of hard money, of a sound
currency. Of an early return to specie pay
ments. as is Mr.. Hayes. The republican
LiCAct tucIctOIc Is AL uohcot tiOhCt' iChCet-
ing fairly principle. The platform. too,
Is in harmony with the candidates.
But the democratic tickets so composed
that it represents nothing but desire to
cheat and catch voters. If Tilden is for
hard money Hendricks is for soft. You
pay your money and take your choice. II
you turn to the platform for help in the
endeayor to find out where the democracy
stand on the currency question, you are
more puzzled than before, for you find
that the currency plank is "compro-
mise" which was at first opposed by every
Eastern State as submission to the rag
baby, and then accepted at last by them.
By their own protest the declarations of
the platform are condemned.
The attempt to run such ticket on such
a platform is a more audacious attempt
than to run Horace Greeley as demo-
cratic candidate. The fraud is so trans
parent that few will be cheated. Those
who desire steps towards sound currency
would never think of carrying such
ticket as Tilden and Hendricks on a soft
money platform. for the compromise
makes it that and nothing else. In sup
porting Hayes and Wheeler men have a
clearly defined principle in the ticket, not
a sham and delusion.
