III Mr.. Tilden should be elected
PRESIDENT, and should carry out to the
ietter the programme which he out
lines. ne would be the best and greatest
president that has ever been in the
White House. -[Philadelphia Telegraph
Rep. ,...
Dy less than one-eighth of the voters OF
the district, obtained by persistent can
vasslng, and we are only surprised that
SO many voters wanted to be repre-
sented by such a man, whose letter
shows that he is always demagogue,
ana never can be anything else. Bos-
ton Herald und)
The Democrats in this State have not
been so confident OF success since 1860.
We believe they would elect their ticket
II the election took place to-day
Any one who will go around among the
people will be astonished to find how
many there are who seriously believe
that "a change" IL all that is wanted to
restore good times. indianapolis News

The letter carriers OF the Postoffice at
evansville are engaged in canvassing
that city In the interest of the Republi-
can party. The Democratic business
men are inquiring IL they are to be taxed
by the Government to support these
runners Of the party. It is a disgrace
ful prostitution Of a public office to party
ends. New Albany Ledger Dem)
We cannot help begging the gentle.
support Hayes with as little cant and
hypocrisy as possible. The Democrats
have done nothing In their investiga-
tions OF which the Republicans have
not shown themselves fully capable, and
have set on foot no investigation for
which there was not probable cause on
. fair view Of the condition Of the pub
lie service. The Nation und).
The Republican party is dead, 1t was
nothing more than the Abolition party
under another name. II abolished slav
cry and made citizens Of the slaves
That fact Is accepted on oil sides, and
there is no longer any dispute about any
OF the rights that have been guaranteed
to the newly enfranchised. d.-[Troy Press

In the face Of two hostile and threat
ening branches OF the Government, the |
Democrats In Congress have executed
their trust with fidelity. Dispatch is an
entirely secondary consideration. They
have broken up the schemes OF third |
term by a single blow; they have shown
mitted to the people In the Government
expenses they have opened the way to
publication and reform In administra-
tion, and they appeal to the Judgment
OF the people for q favorable verdict
Boston Post Dem
There were two sides to the Hamburg
affair, after all, aud now that one side
has been held up TO the country for a
month. 1t is to be hoped that the other
side will be shown. When sworn afIl-
davits show that the negroes fired first
haf tri, ys,t hal k haf |
shot WIS fired by the whites, and that
the negroes had publicly threatened to
''clear out" the whites from that sec
tion, 1t looks rs IL Senator Patterson
would show the part Of wisdom by not
Insisting on any further Investigation.

Grants recent letter to Governor
should not be misunder-
stood by the people OF the North. It Is
. declaration Of war against the people
Df the South. 1t is the first bold out
,ropping OF Radicalism, and shows the
desperate straits in which that dying
party is placed In order to prolong
power. It Is covert threat that the
sntire people of the country shall not

The Republicans are much disap-
,ointed at the action of the Democrats
n the House upon Blaine's school
amendment and that OF intimidation
md outrage In the South. They had
repaired q circular which would have
'een circulated by the ton throughout
he entire length and breadth of this
ountry as soon rs Congress should ad-
Durn. In this circular It was stated
hat the Democrats had deliberately
Blaine's school amendment,
nd that they had gone away without a
vord upon the subject Of the freedom OF
be ballot In the South. The recent ac-
lon OF the House upon both OF these
uestions has negatived all the essential
oints In these circulars, 80 that Zach
will have to sell them as waste
