which indicate that he has not always been
hard-money man. We extract as follows:
"The revelations concerning Iilden's shin

the manufacture Of the 'currency' the re-
turns of two of which are thus stated:

"The whole amount of the currency issued

THE Cincinnati Gazette proposes to give
Tweed a chance. 'If he should be per
mitted to return, it says, ''and become
" Governor of New York, he would no
" doubt become a great reformer. He has
" all the money he wants. Tilden gath
GO cred up four million or thereabout from
" the Tweed rings and the famIshing stock
" holders Of broken down railroads, and
&" then, having all the money he wanted,
4" adopted the role Of reformer'' ~
National Republican., 1876-07-03

The RECORD OF IIlden 8 Intimacy with
Boss Tweed is becoming somewhat en-
barrassipg in view of the fact that Tilden
still claims to be the very personifcation of
reform. He not only addressed him as an
intimate friend, but aided him in getting
gangs of Democratic repeaters to go from
Philadelphia to New York to swell the
Democratic vote of the latter city. Be-
sides this he accepted money from Tweed,
knowing that it had been stolen from the
taxpayers of the city. The following let
tiers fully sustain these charges:

mour gave 1t when he counselled his riotous
friends in 1868, and Tilden uttered II when he
urged the adoption of the peace platform in
1854.
Gen. Joseph ]. Reynolds, who did such
effective and valuble work against the Sioux
Indians in the late Big Horn expedition, and
who was recently, through an erroneous news
paper statement regarding certain evidence
given by Lieut.. Col. McCook, last April, be-
fore the House Committee on Expenditures in
the War Department, called before the said
committee and fully exonerated from all
blame of any conduct not becoming an hon
orable officer, is soon again, we understand, to
take the field against our untamed wards of
the West. A very few more such efficient,
brave and discreet officers operating against
the Indians, as Gen. Reynolds has long ago
proven himself to be, and our troubles in that
direction would soon permanently close.
The Brooklyn Argus, Democratic paper,
which was opposed to Tilden's nomination,
has this to say of him since he was selected at
St. Louis: "Where Gov. Tildeu is not known
his word is credited; where he is known pub
lie sentiment is setting pretty nearly one way.
He has lost the confidence of reformers, and
has been brought forward by as bad a set of
men as ever undertook to bribe a sheriff or
knock down a turnkey. The great tide wave
of 1874, which swept Democratic Governor
into power in the abolition State of Massa-
chusetts by change of 81 900 votes in 1875, 900,
or a. change of thirty per cent, also made
Nj. sTildcn Governor of New York by 900
majority on a total vote of $4,000, or a ma
jority of less than five per cent. His ticket
lost 81 900 of this majority in one year. I'll.

vote of the State, gave to Mr. was de-
than one third of his majoEii. A majority

OF lo'UoV "aadpervisors. If there ever was a
eiec'eu Nomination for President of the
Ned States it is the present one. The texts
or antagonizing Mr.. Tilden will be personal
to pledges of reform, Inconsistency
IN the money question, an unsatisfactory rail-
way record and his affiliation with corrupt
ing men. None of these are very hopeful
exits upon which to bid for Republican votes,
which alone can elect any candidate"
National Republican., 1876-07-03

In 1864 with Mcclellan, in 1868 with
Seymour, snd in 1872 with Greeley, the
Democrats promised to carry New York;
and now in 1876. with Tilden, they promise
the same thing, Pie crust.

EDITORIAL POSTSCRIPT.


If the charges of corruption preferred against
the Surveyor General of Washington Territory
are not satisfactorily and fully denied by the
incumbent the Interior Department has but
one course to pursue, and that is to request
his removal from Office. Reform within the
party ranks is by large majority the best
reform.
GAS between Gov. Hayes and Samuel j.
Tiden,' shouted the Brooklyn Argus before
the nomination of the latter, "there is not an
Independent paper in the State of New York
that will not support Gov. Hayes as a matter
OF patriotic duty" The Argus is a good jour
nal, and we like to see it join THE REPUBLI-
CAN in such a frank and honest way.
That Democratic ticket is wrong en- to.
The second fiddle is really the first fiddle. 1t
is case where the tail will wag the dog. 1t
is splendid subject for Mast. He can re-
verse the ticket, and pin Tiiden to the coat
tails of Hendricks. What a mixture that
would be. Tilden, the candidate of the Wall
street ring, tackled to the coat-tail of Hen
bricks, the dry nurse of the rag baby. 1t is
one of the choicest slices of consistency ever
cIlppeO OH Dy pOiulcal convention.
The New York Tribune wisely says "A
President is not what he chooses to be he is
what his associations and circumstances make
him." Therefore if, in the course of human
events, Jsmuel J. TiIden is elected President
of the United States, what will his associa-
tions be? The Southern clement has always
ruled the Democracy whenever that party has
been in power. This being the case, the natu-
raj conclusion is that Ben. Hill, Tucker and
Co. will be the power behind the throne, and
that which the Confederacy lost at the gun
muzzle they will gain at the ballot-box.
After the adjournment of the St. Louis con-
vention Mr.. Preston, of Kentucky, made a
speech, in which he said, "The Democracy was
expelled from power when the people lost
their reason, and would now be restored to
power, as the people had gained that which
they lost" In other words. Mr.. Preston would
have us believe that the loyal people were
crazy when they.ssved the Union and manu-
nitted the slave. Its the same old yell. Sey-

Fatal ARRAY.

On Thursday evening last about dusk,
Mr.. JOHN ~ScHEADLER, of this place, and
a young man by the anne of GREEN
FIELD, who has been working for farm
ers west of Eaton close to the State
line in this county, for a couple of
years, but whose parents live near SOM
~erville, Butler county, me- on the side
walk by the Court House, both were
under the influence of liquor, and some
words passed rather in a jockular or
bantering way, when Scheadler struck
at Greenfield and knocked his hat off.
AS the latter raised from picking up his
hat he hit Scheadler somewhere about
the head, knocking him down, ardin
falling his head struck heavily against
the paving. He was picked up insens-
ible by some witnesses of the affair and
carried across to the Drug Store of Mi
chael 6 Son, and from there conveyed
to his home in the north part of town,
where he fingered in the same appar-
emily unconscious state until Monday
morn ng about 5 O'Clock, when he died.
The Coroner summoned a jury and Drs.
| WELSH, BRUCE and QUINN held 4 post
norton examination, which revealed
a fracture of the right temporal bone
of about az or 8 inches in length, also
a clot of blood about the size of a hen
egg beneath the skull on the opno lite
side of the head. There was also a Sc
we're congestion of the blood vessels of
the brain. In accordance with these
facts the Coroner's jury returned a YER
dict that the deceased came to his death
from a blow dealt by Greenfield. A
warrant has been issued for his arrest.
The deceased and Greenfield were
strangers, having probably never met
before. Greenfield was put in prison
the same evening but released next
morning-placed i'll again the same day
but turned out in the evening, as 10
complaint or warrant had been made
against him.
1t was first thought by some that ii
was a political quarrel, Mr.. S. being
Captain of the Hayes and Wheeler gun
squad, and the affair occurring close by
the cannon which had been used the
day before ver Hayes supposed cleo
ton. He (G.) fought to be hung" re-
marked some Radicals, but it was soon
discovered that he too was a Republi,
can, and that business was very uncer-
enormously dropped.
Mr.. S., when at himself, was an hon
est, good hearted, industrious and hard
working German, and well-liked by all
his neighbors, and his unfortunate death
is very much regretted by L citizens
generally. He leaves a widow and sew
eral children to mourn over his sad and
sudden demise.

Hero is something new for our
Young folks. "Wristlet parties" are
an invention which has recently been
introduced in society at Buffalo. The
ladies furnish the wristlets, and each
pair Is numbered. One of each pair
with the number is put into a box and
is sold 10 the gentleman by a commit
tee, and corresponding wristlets with
the numbers are worn by the ladies.
The fun begins when each gentleman
buys a wristlet, and finds the owner
of the mate to it, to whom he is to
pay attention during the evening.
