Political Items.
GEN. JOE HOOKER is the only hooker
that's for Tilden.
GUERRILLA MosBY will stump for
Hayes and Wheeler.
TILDEN is a bachelor. The last Presi-
dent the Democrats elected was a BACH
elor. Straws.
T1LDEN and Reform will sweep the
country like a 'whirlwind. The two
words are inseparable.
GOVERNOR SAMUEL JONES TmDEN is
a descendant of Oliver Cromwell-a fact
hat his special New York friends point
to with pride.
MATILDA FLETCHER, of Iowa, who did
a good deal of effective stump speaking
for Grant in 1872, has declared for Til
den. Hurrah for Title.

Philadelphia Times.
LOUISVILLE Comier-JouRdl: The
friends of good government everywhere
will accept the nomination of Gov. Til
den as an earnest of the Democratic
effort in behalf of administrative reform.
The Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent is a true Democrat of the old
school, and a polished gentleman, scholar
and statesman, whose State papers would
do credit to a Jefferson, Webster or a
Clay.
Gov. GUSTAV KoERNER, of Illinois,
finds the New York Independent Con-
ference address leads him logically to
the support of Tilden, and he invites his
liberal Republican German associates to
follow him in his support.
ST. LOUIS Times The record of Sam
uel J. Tilden needs no defense whatever.
He smashed the Tweed ring in the great
city of New York, and smashed the
canal ring in the great State of New
York, and has reduced the taxes of that
State in two years from sixteen million
to eight million dollars.
The present prospect is that Tilden
and Hendricks will prove to be the
strongest ticket nominated by the DEM
ocrats since the election of Andrew
jackson. It looks like a clean sweep of
the Republican party from power-as
overwhelming as tho defeat Of Goneral
I Scott IN 1852.
HARRIsBURG Patriot: The nomination
of such a man as MI. Tilden at such a
time is an suspicious and encouraging
event in the history of the coun-
| try. 1t shows that the Democratic
system may be depended upon in an
emergency to rise superior to all hind
RANGES, and make plain and straight for
the feet of the people the path of pru-
dence and safety.
NEW YORK Tribune At least one Re
publican journal sees the absurdity Of
trying to defeat Governor Tilden by
calling him a sham reformer." The
Boston Advertiser says frankly: "He has
done good work as a reformer, and is en-
titled to all the credit of it." The tax.
payers of this State know that a reform
which reduces their taxes is not a sham.
The canal ring gentlemen know there is
no sham about it, too.
IN Cleveland we learn that such men
as Governor Mueller elected Lieutenant
Governor of Ohio on the Republican
ticket with Noyes), Jacob Schroeder
ESQ.,, Gustav Schmidt, A. Theme, Esq
"a Grant Presidential elector), and
other prominent and influential Ger
man citizens, are for Tilden. In Illinoi,
Governor Korener, Gen. Leib, and Other
distingued German leaders are for Til
den, and in Wisconsin Hayes has scarce
a follower among the Germans.
LOUISVILLE Courier-Journal Governs
Noyss says that while the members o
the Ohio Legislature are in the habit o
riding from the depot to the Capitol ant
back every day, Governor Hayes, though
worth million, always makes it a poin
to ave his dimes by walking. 1t mus
be a soothing thought to him, Will,
trudging along through the mud, that h,
is making a dime or so by it; but hoy
, fierce and bitter the pang which shoot
through his gigantic soul when he re
fleets upon the wear and tear of hi
brogansl
THE Republicans having defeate'
Bristow for President, because he wa
too much of a reformer to suit them
Grant now takes his cue from the actio
: of that convention and forces Bristo,
f out of his Cabinet. This ends the a
E tempt to reform the party within tn
party. The New York Custom Hous
ring and the Cameron ring of Pennsy
: vania, were the potent influences ths
d nominated Mr.. Hayes. They "place
e their votes where they would do the moi
4 good" and they are not trembling i
their boots for fear of disturbance frol
= Hayes, should he be elected.
New YORK Herald: The Republica
organization has become a party of bee
eaters. When we think of this party
it came into being twenty years ago, i
leaders men like Sumner, Seward, Chas
Lincoln; its platform universal freedo,
u and the integrity of the Union; when '
d think of the great soldiers and state
men who have been proud to enrc
