REPLY.

we Will Dfleny answer, our cores
pondent's questions as far as it is il
our power to do so.
1. Mr.. Dickey's general habits
have been incorporate for many
years past. This is well known, but
his friends claim that for a year or
more he has been trying to reform.
We fear, however, from the evidence
of his recent conduct in Greenfield,
his reformation" is far from being
thorough or satisfactory.
2. We have frequently heard it
stated, and have no doubt it is true,
that while in the Legislature, Mr.
Dickeys habits were very intemper-
ate, so much so as often to render
him unfit for business.
8. The same may be said of his
habits while County Turnpike Engi-
eer. We have been told by respecta-
bic citizens, that when superintend-
ing the construction of the pike, he
was often so much under the infu-
ence of liquor as to be unable to at
tend to his duties properly, and that
the contractors took advantage of
his condition to slight their work, to
the great injury and loss of the peo-
pie of the county.
4. We are not able to say whether
whisky was used to secure Mr.. Dick
ey's nomination; but reliable
citizen of this place has stated
through our columns, that Mr. Dick
ey had a tolerably large liquor bill
to pay at the Ellicott House bar, the
day after his nomination.
We agree with our correspondent,
whose questions we have answered,
that it is of far more Importance to
the people to know what Mr.. Dick
ey's general habits have heretofore
been, than to know whether he was
or was not intoxicated at any partic
ular time. If he has been in the
habit of getting intoxicated for
years, until his townsmen and neigh
bors are compelled to regard him as
a confirmed inebriate, he is certainly
not fit man to represent the peo-
pie of this district in Congress. He
may have been trying to reform for
the past year, as his friends claim,
but even admitting this to be true, it
is running too great risk to send
such man to Washington, where
he would be exposed to tenfold great
er temptations than those which now
surround him-especially when there
is good reason to believe, that since
his nomination he has been unable
to resist even these lesser tempta-
tions, and has violated his solemn
pledges to his friends that he would
entirely abstain from liquor if he re-
ceived the nomination. We believe
the time has come when the people
should imperatively demand, that all
public officers, and especially repre-
sentatives in Congress, shall be men
of strictly temperate habits, men
who can be depended upon at all
times and in every emergency to dis
charge their official duties with clear
heads and honest hearts, and any
candidate who does not come up to
this standard is unworthy the snp-
port of the people.

of doubt, almost Immediately relieve and
permanently cure all of these distressing
symptoms We know of thousands who
are willing to testify thai what we say is
true to the letter. We know that if you
will give it fair trial you will let us add
your name to the ''cloud of witnesses.

from the Belknap affair, as far as the
President is concerned, simply in this,
that while Belknap allowed his wife
to sell traderships and apply the
money to his household expenses, the

them and keep the money himself.

The St. Louis Candidate.
Iparke Godwin's Letter. j

The Democratic Convention met in st.
Louis ON the 9th of June. 1t differed
from all previous conventions of the
same party, according to a writer in the
Tribxle, in this remarkable particular I:
1t was composed mainly Of young men,
or Of those who had grown up since the
time when that powerful unity, max
ing its fatal mistake on the slavery issue,
was broken into pieces, and a large frag-
ment went wandering into the wilder
ness. The friends Of Mr.. Tlden, the &C
knowle6ged New York reformer, easily
obtained the organization, and from be
ginning to end held the upper hand in
all the proceedings. Only two ballots
were taken-the first merely formal and
eomplimentary-when Tilden was
unanimously nominated. He was, how
ever, not pnopposed in spite of his as
tendency, but the opposition to him
came chiefly from what are regarded a:
the most questionable elements of his
party the representatives of Tammapy
Hall at the East, and the abettors o
financial eeeentricity at the West. Thus
by the manner of his selection, Mr.. Til
den became not simply the candidate o
a faction Of his party, but the exponen
Of a principle.
Who, then, is Samuel j. Tilden?

A Canard Exploded.

The New York Sun, an independent
sheet thus explodes another mean, con-
temptible canard:
II is an instructive circumstance that
the chief means of warfare employed by
the Republicans in the present campaign
is personal abuse to the Democratic can
didate. Here, for instance, is an inquiry
which we yesterday received from 3
young man in a large establishment Of
this city:
aPlesse instruct me what truth Is
there about the million dollar steal said
to be committed by Mr.. Hlden seven
years ago? Our manager, who is q Re
publican BY birth, VINO wss for Blaine's
nomination under all circumstances, and
who is now for Hayes anyhows caDvssses
this assertion whenever an opportunity
offers, and this is the only point he has to
make against Mr.. Tlden.n
We answer our young friend that th6re
is no truth in it at all. 1t is pure lie
Mr.. Hlden never stole anything in his
life and neyer let anybody else steal if
he could help il.
