Campaign Notes.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has this sugges-
tive remark: "The Steubenville Guzette, one
OF the most pronounced greenback journals in
the State has hoisted the names of Tilden
and Hendricks. The letters did it,"
Pendleton is preparing to take the stump
for Tilden, whom he opposed so bitterly be-
fore the nomination. When asked why, his
response is: because of my admiration for a
man who made millions out of bankrupt rail-
roads while pocketed less than one hundred
thousand"
Retrenchment should apply to Somewhere
else" in the view of these Democratic Con-
gressmen. Fos instance, Mr.. John Goode,
Jr., of Virginia, writes to a friend in Nor
folk: -"I have secured more money for our
district than has been given to any other in
the State-$4O,OOO for the harbor of Norfolk,
$4,000 for the powder magazine, $15,0O0 for
lighthouse at the mouth of Nansemond
river, $4,000 for the Elizabeth river and $4,000
for Nansemond river, besides large appro-
priation for the navy-yard. What more did
my friends expect of me?'

The little unpleasantness at the Maine soldiers
reunion, yesterday, grew out of the unwilingness of
some to let the occasion pass without trying to make
a little political capital. General Roberts, who
kicked up the greatest fuss, was brave soldier and
popular with his men, but he the Democratic
candidate for Governor last year, and it was doubly
bly, thought so before Judge Shepey got done.
Greater men than General Roberts have said things
after dinner they were sorry for in the morning.
Boston Herald.
The Herald and those Democrats who are
excusing Gen. Roberts performance on the
ground that he was provoked to speak as he
did because of the remarks of others, or be-
cause it was ''after dinner" are not in pos
session of the facts of the case. We know
on the authority of Gen. Roberts himself that
he had written out the speech published in
the Argus and which he delivered with few
slight variations at the Chebeague camp fire
to be used on that occasion. This fact, indi-
eating, as it does, that Gen. Roberts came
here prepared to eulogize Robert e. Lee,
takes away the last possible excuse for his
action.
Gen. Roberts knows that Maine veterans
bear the Confederate soldier no ill-will. On
the contrary, they would show their good
will in all proper methods. The Maine SOL
diers as a class, however, do recognize that
there is difference between loyalty and trea-
son, and do think that the distinction be-
tween the two should be so far maintained
that the first soldier of the unhappy contest
on either side to be eulogized at meeting of
Union soldiers should not be the leader of the
rebel armies man who was educated at the
expense of the Union, nurtured by the couu-
try which he assaed after he hal sworn to
maintain its cause against all foes. If Gen.
Roberts and his party entertain opposite
views they differ not only with the greater
part of Names veterans but with the great
mass of the people who were loyal to TIE flag
during the war.
The most striking feature of the occasion,
however,was the fervent approval with which
Judge Shepley's ringing and eloquent rebuke
of the eulogy of Gen. Lee was received when
he told the story of his visit to Lees house in
Richmond, where he found the windows
overlooking Libby Prison, so that the in
mates of the house could not fail to know
Iue dtIoclIies WHICH, "e-e Inelo pefpelraleQ.
1t showed there is no forgiveness in this gen.
Grafton for any man who committed or with
power to prevent) permitted the infamous
crimes against God and humanity which
blackened the'record of the Confederacy. 1t
was the endorsement which the men who
fought give to Mr.. Blaine, to Gen Shepley or
to any man who protests against fraternizing
with and eulogizipg torturers and assassins.

The Louisiana Democrats have prepared
"private and confidential campaign circnlar,
which has Of course become public property
much to the chagrin of lis authors. Among
the recommendations in the document are
the following: "We recommend that in con-
versation with each other no gloomy fore
bodings shall be INDUCED in, and that the re-
suit of the coming election shall be spoken of
as foregone conclusion, as we have the
means of carrying the election and mean to
use them. But be careful to say and do
nothing that can be construed into a threat
or intimidation of any character. You can.
not convince negro's reason, but you can
impress him by positive statements contnu-
ally repeated" Now, when Democrat
talks about the election.as "foregone con-
clusoa," and tries to Empress the negro
by his ''positive statements" an opponent
draws out copy Of the circular and reads
this passage. The effect is not good for the
Democrat.

the Democratic wards, the Democratic cities,

the Hamburg murderers are supporters of
Tilden and Hendricks. / do say that the
haters of liberty---the assassins of colored
men, women, and children---the masked
wretches who ride to the hut of the freed
man and shoot him down like a beast, 6isre-
garding the prayers and tears of wife and
children, I do say that these men are not for
Hayes and Wheeler. do say that the real
friends of liberty are the only friends of labor,
and that those WHO vote for Hayes and
Wheeler are the best friends of liberty, labor,
and law. write this for one reason, and for

one should believe that judge men by their

Tilden's Consistency.

The Democratic attempt to prove that Mr..
Tilden opposed in committee the peace plank
OF the Chicago platform of 1864 is not an un-
mixed success. But granting for the mo-
ment that he did oppose that plank in COM
mittee he still stands in an unenviable light,
for he promptly discarded his convictions,
did his best through the campaign TO pro-
mote the success of candidates nominated
cpon the peace platform, aud never once
raised his voice in public in denuncation of
the infamous and reasonable surrender to
the Rebels. His opinions were on the right
side, his practical efforts were given to the
wrong. Yielding TO party pressure he care
fully abstained from the expression of his
convictions, and labored for the promotion OF
policy which he believed to be unwise and
reasonable. He knew that the rebellion
would be successful should the government
pass into the hands of the peace Democracy,
but still he worked for the success of the
peace-at-any-price party, for the destruction
of the Union. He proved himself entirely
unable to resist the demands OF his party.
Will he be any stronger if elected in Novem-
ber? Will he not in 1877 as well as in 1864
yield his convictions to those of the party
leaders? Will he not surrender to the spoils-
men and repudiators in the Democratic past
as he once surrendered to the traitors?
Last winter at the instigation of Gov. Til
den the Democrats in the New York legisla-
ture introduced, and the Republicans of
course supported, resolution deprecating
the repeal of the resumption act of 1875.
Mr.. Tilden believed that repeal meant vio-
lation of plghted faith, initiation, repudia-
tion. To-day he surrenders these convic-
tions as be surrendered his convictions in
1864, at the dictation of his party, and en-
dorses repeal and policy which he believes
to be unwise, dishonest and fraught with
danger to all the material interests of the
country. He has found himself entirely un-
able to resist the demands Of his party. Will
he be any stronger if elected in November? !?
Will he not in 1877 as in 1876 yield his coz
victions to those of his party leaders? Will
he not again surrender to the repudiators in
The Democratic party?
In view of Mr.. Tilden's repeated surren-
der of principle to party it is absurd to think
of him as a man of will AMI convictions
strong enough to enable him to resist the
dominant sentiment of the Democratic party.
He always has yielded to party camor, and
he always will. He is not of the stuff of
which reformers are made.

They express themselves as satisfied with

themselves in the Democratic party in rela.
tion to the currency question, and say that
they will soon get all they want from that
party, and that there is no use of affiliating
with men in support of candidate who has
been Republican. They state that Tilden
was obliged to admit the anti-resumption
plank in the st. Louis platform in order to
get the nomination, and that Tilden's letter
was delayed because Hendricks refused to ac-
cept the nomination until the Democrats in
the House of Representatives had COM
mtted themselves in favor of the repeal of
of the resumption clause. These things
showed that Hendricks was stronger than

THE National Board of Steam Navigation
holds its fifth annual meeting at Baltimore
on September 9th. The chief object of the
meeting is opposition to the steamboat law of
1871, the Board holding that its oppressive
exactions demand that earnest and persistent
endeavors shall be made to. secure such nec-
essary and practical legislation, in the shape
of notifications of the Objectionable law. as
is essential to the safety of the millions of
people annually transported on steam vessels
as well as to the protection Of the vast capi-
tai invested in steam vessel property. The
Board has for the past four years been striv-
ing to secure the needed amendments, and
believes great progress has been made in
awakening public opinion to the necessity of
the change. TIE executive committee, one
of whom is Capt j. B. Coyls OF this city,
aim at securing legislation which shall give
greater security to the travelling public and
at the same time relieve an important inter-
est of unnecessary and obnoxious burdens.

SCOTT LORD has developed an astounding
amount of brains for a Democrat, and sue
ceeded in frightening his associates for
time out of what few wits they had Though
they have said in their conventions that
they accept the constitutional amendments
they always speak right out and deny it when
taken by surprise. Mr.. Lord really ought to
have been more considerate and not have
given Cox, Morrison and others such fright
and led them into the mistake oi attempting
to dodge resolution setting forth that the
Constitution should be maintained and the
laws enforced. For few moments the "true
inwardness'' Of the Democracy was painfully
apparent. 1t was acknowledged in effect
that Democrats do not condemn fraud, vio-
lence and intimidation of voters, nor desire
the punishment of those guilty of such acts.
