Much has been said I'm regard to Mr..
Tilden's war sentiments, and 1t has
been fully established that he was not
only opposed to the war but was OPP
posed individually to those who took
bart In it. Selfish and tyranical III his
disposition, his hatred followed his vic
tim beyond the grave, even though IL
were IL near relative. AS an evidence
of this we suljoin the following state
ment of Lieut.. Miller from the Press
and Standard, published In Sullivan
county, Penn. Lieut.. Miller Is gentle
man of vcracity, and can bc implicit
IN relied upon. The following Is Mr.
Miller's statement:
"Oliver S. ridden was the nephew
of Samuel J. ridden. He mustered I'M
to service on tho 18th of June, 1861, as
CAPTAIN of Co. T.. 3Sth Regt., n. \.
Vols. Samuel J. Tildcn opposed his GO
| ing into the war and used every effort
| To prevent him. Failing in doing TINS
he insured his life for 81 600 to he paid
TO his family, which consisted ola wife
and two children.

ridden did and mustered in az aprivatc

: raised $50 and sent the body to me
writing at the same time that hi
uncle samuel j Tildcn would pay tn
remainder. After the body came
went to- Mr.. Tildcn and told him tn
circumstances. He was very indii
nant, said he had done all nc intcndc
to for Oliver, that he went into I'll
| war against his wishes, and that Il
: would not bc liable for any expense
ItoId him that Mrs. Tilden had aske
for the body, and that IT was in r.
sponsc tn that request that tho Office
y had forwarded It. Mr.. Tilden sa
I. that he did not care, that he was ~

lars for her support. The money HAS
never been paid to me.
Senator Sargent, who Is now Mt his
home i'm California, writes TO gentle
man i'm this city ms follows:
"Thc political prospects here are
bright for Hayes and Wheeler. The
Republican party IL better organized
thnn ever before. The spirit Of 1861 Is
alive. We shall certainly elect three
out of four congressman, with good
chance for the fourth, while the State
Is good for six thousand on the Presi-
Dental ticket. AS goes California 80
goes Nevada, and our friends arc also
hopeful in Oregon. l do not think
Tilden will have an ELECTORAL vote
from the Pacific States, and have good
reasons for my belief"
Senator Sargent Is u sagacious ana
shrewd political calculator, and his
| predictions may be considered reliaoie'
A gentlemen of this city has just re-
ccived from California strong docu-
mentary evidence of Governor Hen
cks'cOnnectiOn with UNDERSTANDING
cases In that State. These papers
which are most damaging to the repu-
tation of the Democratic candidate for
the Vicc-Presidency, will be MADE
public i'm few days, and will show
dishOnOrable efforts OIL the part OF Mr..
Hendricks to deprive honest settlers ol
their homes and farms after being lc'
gally obtained and greatly improved
A man who would steal another mans
farm and improvements Is hardly
fit person for Vice-President OF thi'
great country.
The attempt to connect Gov. Hayes
with the so-called "Amcrican Alliance
has met dcnials from the hahds OF MI
Schurz, by one of his own neighpors
, IA foreigner, and by the n. Y. Mefotta
in the following language: "lhe al

Owing to the ''mixed condition
CT political affairs in Lake county
this Fall, it is with much embarass-
mcnt that we approach the subject
through the columns of our paper.
Under the circumstances, it seems
TO rs useless to talk about voting
straight tickets. Our government
is for the people and by the peo-
pie, and so it becomes proper that
they should elect who they choose,
regardless of the action of political
caucuses and conventions. While
we desire, in accordance with our
political belief, to see the election
of Republicans to Office, yet a mat
ter of greater Importance to the
people is the election Of honest,
capable men. 1t is the duty OF
every voter to weigh we'll the char
acter of the men asking for his bal
lot in their favor. Determine in
your own mind as to whether they
arc the men you want for your SER
wants. Put aside personal feeling
and prejudice, if any exists, look
fairly and candidly at the past rec
, ord of the men, their present char
actcr, and consequent assurances
: of the future, and then vote for tn
honest, capable men, and tor 1T
| others.

AS the day of election draws
nearer it is we'll to remind Rcpub-
licans of the necessity on their
part of united, earnest action III
behalf Of the State and national
tickct. Remember that the con-
tiaucd prosperity ofour country
depends upon the success OF our
efforts to elect Hayes and Wheeler
the honest lsyal ca,ali,ns OF the
masses Of the people. See to II
that every Republican voter is out
at the polls, aud that he is supplied
with the right ticket. Work as
YOU can a,rl should work, and sic

EprToR STAI:-Pcacc is what the
country calls for now as it did IN
1776. England granted 1t then;
the South pretended to a few years
ago, at the end of q long struggle
(after being overpowered by Elm
coin hirclings," who polluted the
sacred SOIL" as it was sometimes
called during the days Of the re-
bellion) to compel them to acccdc
to the wishes of the administration
then in power. They arc as full of
disobcdicnco now as then. They
have been trying to work themselves
into position SO as to be the lead
ing power again. They, with a few
hungry and dirty politicians who
call themselves Democrats from the
Northern States, commenced their
dcvilishncss by removing the Grip
pled soldiers from the positions they
held, and placing in their stead
those who fought against the gov
ernmcnt in that shameful riot, such
as was never known upon tho Amer
lean continent before. Peace !!
what the nation wants; but war II
what it will get before many years
unless the voters are careful anc
widc-awakc.
The Southern Democrats ask II
to pay war claims; and if they go
into power would surely pension
their own soldiers, or cause the sol
diers who fought with the govern
> ment to release their claims agains
the United States. AMncsty wa
granted those who now are seatc
in the halls of legislation. Thcl
action is primat acia evidence th'
they cannot or will not keep the

their indebtedness and grant an
