Congressional Nominations.

The Republicans of the Fourth Dis
trict, Thursday, nominated Hon. Sam,
uel Craighead, of Dayton, for Con-
gresham, on the fourth ballot. Mr..
Craighead is one of the ablest men in
the District.
In the Eighth District, the Republi'
cans nominated j. w. Keifer, of Spring
field, for Representative in Congress.
There were forty-five ballots, and the
contest was lively one. General
Keifer is AN excellent and very accept
able candidate, and he will, undoubt,
ediy, be elected by triumphant ma
jority.
The Republican Convention in the
Twentieth District, Cuyahoga County,
nominated Amos Townsend by accla-
nation. A stronger nomination could
not be made, and his majority will
probably be not less than 5000.

Another Democratic BoIter.

The Steubenville Gazette, a lifelong
Democratic paper, bolts the nomina-
ton of 1ilden. 1t says:
As for Mr. f'ilden, we have frequently
said that if he were nominated we
would not give him our support, and
nuw that ne has been chosen IS the
Democratic candidate for President,
we declare freely and unequivOcally,
that unless something beyond our pres
ent knowledge conspires To change our
opinion of the man and his position,
we W II do nothing whatever 10 fur
ther his election. We do not now con:
slider him Democrat, fer no Demo-
crat would have used his influence
and money 10 defeat the election of
Wln. Allen to the Governorship OF
Ohio, as did Mr.. Tilden last year. Af-
ter having worked So earnestly for the
success of the Democratic greenback
cause last year, and placed ourselves
,quarely upon similar platform this
year, we believe it would be self-stulti-
iication for US to support the man
whom we blame more than any other
IN the country for our defeat. In our
action upon this nomination we feel
that we have the sympathieS of great
% 4jority of the Democrats of Jefferson
county and expect them to give us a
hearty support. We are standing by
our own and their record, and feel as
sured that they will do likewise.

of Hancock, whose army services wo'd
cover up the reasonable part of the
party in the war; or of Judge Davis,
who, being a Republican, would be
used to mask The reasonable character
of the party. Before the fact they re-
yarded the nomination of Tilden as the
before the Convention.
Cincinnati Commercial
The Democratic masses would have
preferred Thurman to Tilden, but
when bis own State instructed against
him, and for his venerable and delIded
uncle, there was not base of operations
for Thurman's candidacy, and the en-
tire hard-mOney strength concentrated
upon Tilden. Thurman was at st.
Louis as Washburne at Cincinnati, a
strong man spoiled for the race by the
opposition OF his State. 1t is the old
story of assassination by small men.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer has special
telegrams from various points in Ohio
on the nominations, of which the fol-
lowing sentences are condensations !:

these are now lying in political graves.
In the Republican party not one of
them could be nominated for any office.
But now the Democratic party brings
forward Samuel j. Tilden, who helped
breathe into the fraud the breath of
life, and stood by the cradle of the ba-
by, as candidate for President of the
United States in the Centennial year,
when there is on the part OF the people
a universal demand for honest men.
Now mark the difference in the
course of the Republican and Democrat
ic parties. Blaine was the leading cam
didate of the Republican party, and
would have been nominated but for
jobbery in which he had been engaged;
yet what are his offenses compared
with those of Tilden? The Republi-
cans defeated Blaine. The Democrats
nominated Tilden. 1t now remains
for the people TO reject the sham re-
former, with his ill-gotten gains, and
to save the Nation from the disgrace
that the Democratic party would fasten
upon it Cincinnati Gazette.

JOHN MoRRIssEY, the New York
prize fighter, was Governor Tilden,s
chief backer for President in the st.
Louis Convention, and John @. Jacobs,
of New York, a notorious protege. Of
Tweed, was the prompter of the @m-
porarys Chairman in addressing the
convention and in making the rulings
which shaped its permanent organiza-
ton. And now is it likely that the
most notorious gambler and ex-bruiser
of the United States, and the conseder-
ate of the great New York thief, will
be apt to favor the election of any man
capable of giving the American people
the kind of reform they pretend to
seek. Telegraph.

THE Liberal German press is very
generally supporting the Republican
ticket. The Chicago Tribune prints
list OF twenty three daily German pa.
pers which have come out for Hayes
sud Wheeler. The cordiality of their
reception of the Republican ticket is
largely due to the fact that they have
no hope of any reformation in the
Democratic party. 1t is incapable OF
rising to a higher political plane, or
take advanced position upon any great
public issue; but like a drowning rat it
clings TO the old Democratic hulk OF
the past with desperate tenacity. In
the past record of the Democracy there
is nothing inviting to the earnest, hon.
est reformer. As the st. Louis Vet
Liche Post, perhaps the most influential
paper in the West, tersely expresses it,
that "party cannot show itself without
revealing It's real form and subs ance;
it cannot open its mouth without
scorching it; it cannot do homage TO the
truth without damaging itself; it uso
not refer to the history OF its glory
without evoking the memory of its
disgrace" The same paper further
says:
"a party which, to go back no fur
ther for the present, nominated prom
inent leader in the war against the
South, upon a platform that branded
the war as IA failure; a party which af-
terward united itself with the indepen-
dent movement for the sole purpose of
betraying it, and of laying everywhere
its own cuckoo-eggs in the all too-gen
erOus nest prepared for them; a party
which means one thing at the South
and an entirely different thing in the
North; one thing in the East and an
other in the West; a party which in
one place cries for hard money, and in
another dandles the rag baby on its
knees: which rides the free school nag
here, and cooks Irish and Catholic por-
ridge there, such through-and-
through shabby and cheating party has
no longer the shadow of right to ex-
istence, before the tribunal of sound
political morality, and to join in the cry
for Reform in It's name is nothing but
the shalIowest hoco-pocus and trick

THE DEMOCRATIC CANDI-
DATE.
What is Thought of Him.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
The platform was made for Mr.. Til
den, and it would have been foolish to
place any other man upon it. The
plan of Mr.. Tilden's canvass has been
TO adopt measures looking to success in
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
California and Oregon the South be-
ing relied upon to give its support to
any man named. 1t being demonstra-
ted that Tilden's reform and hard
money record would carry him through
in the Eastern and Pacific Slope States
named, the South readily fell in with
the arrangement, and hence we have
Tilden on purely Tildenish platform.
The nomination will fall heavily upon
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas and
some other Western States. There
will be revulsion all along the center,
for the party, in its wisdom, has virtu-
ally abandoned these States. The Con-
vention adjourned without naming a
candidate for Vice President. If a
Western man is nominated to-day a
better feeling may be produced in this
section. Mr.. Tilden's nomination has
been bitterly opposed by his own State,
and unless something is done to allay
the spirit ofopposition among his own
brethren the empire State may be re-
garded as doubtful. But Mr.. Tilden's
friends have pledged themselves to
carry New York, and they will certain
ly do it.
Cleveland Herald.
The result suits us exactly. OF all
the candidates for nomination., Tilden
icyf hn in, f.,lI
the candidates his record is the most
vulnerable. His history has been writ
ten to our hand by numerous lead
ing Democratic journals, SO that our
labor of finding campaign material has
been materially lightened. As be-
ginning we give this neat testimonial
from the Brooklyn Argus, whose De-
mOcracy is unimpeachable and whose
influence as a Democratic organ is un-
questionable. The Argus says: "Sam-
uei j. Tilden made an assault upon the
rings of the State OF New York to gain
the reputation of reformer. He now
bargains with them for Their support
for President. He is known to be a
fraud by the people of his own State,
and, if nominated, will be beaten by
10, 900 majority in Kings county, and
by $1,000 in the State.

We suppose that if the question be
solely with regard to the ef-
iect of the nomination on the prospects
1f the Republican nominee, Republi-
;anS could not have selected a more
candidate than Tilden. They

sa.mueIJ. Tt,Ieu-.His Record.

We reproduce this morning, from the
New York Express, one of the Demo-
cratic organs of New York City, edited
by Erastus Brooks, some leaves from
the record of Samuel J. Tilden, the
Democratic "reform" candidate for
President of the, United States, which
will attract general attention, and sur
prise many people, who, in ignorance
of the mans true character, have look
ed upon him as reformer. The ex-
tracts we print. were made up from le-
gal documents and official records, and
are copied from Democratic newspa-
per of wide circulation and good stand
ing in the city of New York.
The rascalities, the open robberies,
with which Tilden is shown to have
been connected commenced fourteen
years ago, and have been continued up
to within recent period. The old
man having accumulated millions in
this way, became reformer when the
Tweed ring was broken up, and upon
this latter record he is now placed be-
fore the country as great reformer.
Loaded down with money fraudulently
obtained, he now uses his ill-gotten
gains and his sham reputation to place
himself in the highest position within
the gift of the American people, and
this, too, at time when citizens de-
mand genuine reforms, under leaders
whose character is without blemish.
There are many jobberS in this coun-
try. There are men who nave amass-
ed colossal fortunes by means that
would send ordinary persons to a felon's
cell, but we ask the public, after read
ing Tilden's record, as herewith print
ed, to point out, if they can, any man
who has been more unscrupulous or
more successful, or who has impudence
to present a boider face TO the Ameri.
can people than Samuel j. Tilden.
But bad as this record is, the hall is not
told. This story Of the life of an un-
scrupulouS man is TO be continued, and
before the campaign is over the people
of this country will "know enough to
know" that Tilden is the worst man
that could possibly be named for the
high position to which he aspires, and
for which he has been nominated by
the Democratic party.
The following is partial list of rail
roads he plundered: Galena & Chicago
Union Railroad, and Kenosha & Rock
ford Railroad, Chicago 4 Northwestern
Railroad, the Peninsular Railroad the
Continental Improvement Company:
st. Louis, Terre Haute & Alton Rail.
road Belleville IL Southern Illinois
Railroad. These were all broken down
and plundered by Tilden and his asso-
ciatcs, and in all cases Tilden Was the
leading spirit.
Like the buZzard that smells carrion
from afar, Tiiden had an instinct that
brought him into connection with
Iswindling schemes. When that rascal
iy organization, known rs the Credit
MobilieT, was concocted, for the rur-
pose Of robbing the government and
stockholders, Tildcn was. there. From
the testimany of Oakes Ames before
the Credit Mobiier Investigating Com
mittee, we learn that Tilden advised |
its formation, and pronounced the ring
legal. He, OF course, got his share of
The swag. That organization drew
many public men Into its trap, and |
