When that old bachelor, Buchanan,
was President of the United States,
the government owed less than 100
millions of dollars, yet its credit was
so bad that it could not borrow q
few millions at better than equal to
II to Is per cent. per annum. Now
that the credit of the government is
good, and money can be borrowed at
4 per cent, and the national debt
is being paid off steadily, the Demo
cratic party, that went out with Blu
chanan, proposes to come back and
spoil things, under another dried up
old bachelor. This country has had
enough of the Democratic party, and
enough of bachelor Presidents

Democratic Newspapers
ForSaking kr. TiIden-The
Lesson.

Another New York newspaper
has followed the example set by the
Argus and repudiated Tilden. The
Graphic, Democratic, was one of the
first papers in the country to hoist
the Tilden flag. 1t has ably sus-
tanned his candidacy in its editorial
and illustrated columns, but becom-
ing convinced of Tilden's want of
integrity, the Graphic heroically
says:
"We are frank in confessing it, that
Mr.. Tilden has failed to be the pop
ular candidate we supposed he would
become. In view of his utter break
down as candidate, we seriously sug-
gest that he would take counsel with
his friends and resign the Democratic
nomination for the Presidency"
The Staats Zeit,sug, edited by Os-
wald Ottendofer, has virtually gone
back on Tilden since his record has
been inquired into The New York
S,t1e is in about the same condition.
The only out and out Tilden papers
in New York City now are the
World and the Express, and both of
these journals bitterly opposed him
until after his nomination. Both
changed hands prior to the Conven-
ton, and it is well known that the
principal owners of each of them are
hostile to Tilden; and did not be
lieve he could be elected when nomi-
mated.
Instead of being an aggressive re-
former" Mr.. Tilden has found him
self in the vitness-box and defend
ant on more indictments than were
ever brought against any man.
Hence do we see newspapers like
the New Haven Union, the New
York Herald, the Stats Zeit,tgag, the
Graphic, the San, and the Brooklyn
Argus, fall away from him Hence
do we see fourteen Democratic pa
pers in the single State of Indiana
repudiating Tilden and coming out
boldly for Cooper and Cary And
hence do we see statesmen like HOr-
alto Seymour, and -Sandford E.
Church, refusing to be candidates for
Governor of this State, the effect of
their acceptance being to strengthen
Tilden.
Tilden is still busy sending off
documents and disbursiDg the mon
ey which he became possessed of
through swindling the Government
and getting relief bills through Con-
gress. All this will do him no good.
He might as we'll undertake to row
up niagara rapids as to stem the
wrath of the American people when
thoroughly aroused against traitor,
a swindler and a hypocrite. The
Graphic is wise in joining the ArgAs
and other papers in protecting the
Democratic party against the ruin
which threatened it and in saving
he country from the despOtism
which Tilden, if elected, and his cor
rupt hackers would involve it in
= The people are too seD-
sible to be humbugged with the thin
veneer of reform put on by Tilden
between the time he dissolved part
nership with Tweed on the 18th Of
1871, when the papers
were destroyed, and the date when
he hired Bates & Locke to insert his
personal puffs in five hundred news
papers at so much per line Brook

The Old Issues.

As the campaign progresses, it is
wonderful how the issues which both
parties deprecated come to the front
The questions of civil service reform,
a tariff for revenue, the currency, and
all other issues of real Importance,
give way to the more serious one Of
turning over the control of the Gov
ernment to a party that will be man
aged by the men who sought by force
to destroy the Union. The depen-
denee of the Democratic party on the
South, before the war, It's helpless
ness while the war was in progress,
because its Southern wing was cut
off aud engaged in fighting to destroy
the Union, and its growing conf
dence and arrogance, now that it
feels that it has solid South as a
basis of operations, all contribute to
excite distrust, and intensity the con-
viction that the time is not yet ar
rived to restore the Democratic par
ty to power Commercial.

The Centennial Exhibition is not
to be extended beyond Nov. 10, the
time originally set for closing it.
The managers expect that the chilly
weather of October will make the un
warmed buildings uncomfortable for
visitors, and, consequently, the pres

this month.

that Messrs. Boutwell,, Cameron, Wise,
Oglesby, Bayard, and Mcdonald were

Dur neighbor of the Courier thinks
that if the Democrats of Findlay had
worked as hard as the republicans last
Monday. their entire ticket might have
been elected. There was enough work
done Fred. by your folks, but many of
them very sensibly worked for the Re-
publican ticket.

last Monday to little over 5000.

A religion that chastens the people, says
