SOME TELLING FAc1s-Let me give YOU
some bare facts The Mayor Of New York
i fayorite and tool Of Mr. Tilden. and
upon Mr. Tilden's advice, Mayor Wickhsm
appointed as his private secretary, Burton
n Harrison. who had been the private sec
retarv of jefferson Davis, that one conspicu-
Gus rebel. whom even Southern Democrats
dare not ask Us to forgive. In the last Con-
gress they elected as Sergeant-at-Arms one
Fitzhugh, who had been Sergeant-at-Arms
of the Confederate Congress Another ap-
p0intment was that of man who named his
son John Wilkes Booth, to insult the sacred
memory of Abraham Lincoln. They removed
among the other officers of the House fifty
seven MON soldiers. One, | remember, was
shot two or three times, and he was replaced
by rebel ex-colonel of Ashbys cavalry.
Another was severely shot IN the face at
Lookout Mountain. and he had to give way
to a man who fought on the other side in
that very battle. There are now ifty-seyen
rebel soldiers filling as many OF the places
lately held by the fitty-seven Union veter-
ans. That's civil service. is it :? The Dem
ocratic strength and power lies in the South
ein States, and so sure as the Democratic
party succeeds, will the Southern influence
become the controlling one. They don't
stop to think, they make no appeal to con-
science. they surrender to their passions, to
their love of triumph to their hatred of the
ideas of the North, to their desire to revenge
our victory. Such a party stands by its
leaders under all circumstances. The at |
tempt of the Democracy is to ressurrect the
Southern prestige, and have a mongrel party |
like that which supported Buchanan.-HOn.

A candidate for the Vice. Presidency speaks
under political bonds. He cannot fire the
hearts of his auditors with partisan appeals

Tug New York Herald has been casting
its eve over he political horizon and arrives
at the conclusion that the cause Of the De-
mocracy Is noribund. Ii says
No PARTY could enter upon canvass with
brighter prospects than the Democrats had
three months age All the auguries pointed
to the success of Tilden VI TO whoever the
Democrats would nominate. Why j. il that
these argunes fail the friends Of Tilden
now? 1t Is because the Republicans since the
beginning Of their campaign have, with all
their Obstacles 10 sueCess, made no mistakes
and fought to win. The Democrats, with all
their ho1es and promises Of success. have
made blrnder after blunder and fought to
lose. Tie treatment OF the financial ques-
tion, Of civil service, Of the one term in
Tilden's letter was blunder. There is no
explanation of the surrender Of the Resump-
ton act by Governor Tilden. Ii was the
violation Of 4 pledge, which must run more
than three years before fulflment, of one of
the pledges upon which our national credit
rests, at time when we are trying to borrow
three hundred millions at four and half
per cent This pledge did no: bind Gov
ernOr TIden, because he goes into Office
upon the assurance, triumphlntly repeated
by his friends, that in very short time,
much less time than the resumption act
comedies, he would he ready TO resume
Now. il Mr. Tilden as President is certain
that he oal resume in less than two years,
why Is it tat he throws away the pledge
now Fol no other reason than to oblige
Mr.. Hendricks. Mr.. Pendeton and the in
fationists. In other words this paramount
and osten:atious reformer, who would 90
into office . war upon welcomes, makes
terms in The outset Of his campaign with
the worst feature Of wickedness in the
coantry-tte party Of reputation and inaa-
ton. Cautious, conservative Democrats
who remember how Buchanan was bullied
into secession, even at a time when his heart
was loyal to every star in the flag Of the
Mon, ask if it Is possible that Tilden can
be another Buchanan, with Hendricks and
Ewing to drive him into initiation as Davis
and Slidell drove Buchanan into civil war.

Peter Kline, Garfield township, an ac-
cidcnt of most terrible nature occurred.
The grain was rather wet, and the engin-
eer, desiring as much steam as possible,
tied piece of wood to the safety valve,
hoping to prevent the steam from escap-
ing; the pressure was too strong and an
explosion followed, killing three men
named Isaac Rhodes, Noah Commings
and Charles Fox. Cummings head was
blown from the body. and the bodies Of
the others were horribly mangled. Jere-
miah Fox was wounded in such man
ner that he cannot recover. Isaac Rho

leaves a wife and several small children.
Charles and jeremiah Fox are brothers
and resided at Garfield. Both are young
men and unmarried. 1t was just supper
time when the accident occurred, or else
it would have been much more fatal in
its consequences, as number Of men
were around the machine all day.
