To send troops TO a State contrary

The latest dispatches confirm our
belief that Tilden and Hendricks
have carried 2O9 electoral votes, and
but for the partisanship of the Ad,
ministration the majoritics would
have been so great that not a parti-
Gle of room would would be left for a
basis of questioning, Yet under
Kellogg's machinery majorities are
nothing. AS Packard dictates so
will be the majoritics.

Tilden, the IIessian.

There was an old Pennsylvania Dutch
man, so the story ran, who ia the earlier
days of the republic pestered the treasury
officials not little. He turned up annually
with his claim for pension, but he failed
to make his title clear. Year after year
he presented his petition. At last some
body thought it worth while to cate
chise the old man. What regiment was
he in9 He did not know. Where
did he serve! Well, he remembered serv-
ing in Jersey and about Philadelphia. Per-
haps he fought under Wayne! He did not
remember Wayne. Well, perhaps he
fought under Washington "Vashington!
Gott in himmel, ach mol" spluttered the old
Dutchman actually fought in the war
of the revolution. 1t is true that
he had fought on the other side; but
then he fought. We believe the gov.
ernment did not give him a pension,
simply for the reason that he fought
on the wrong side. But we do these things
better nowadays. We pay men who fought
on the other side $4,000 or $4,000 q year to
legislate for us. And the Democratic party
has a habit of nominating men who sympa-
thized with the rebellion for the highest
office in the peoples gift. We can not re-
gard Mr.. Tilden's claim for a pension very
desperate. 1t is true that he was Hessian.
1t is true that by word and example he dis
cOuraged efforts for the maintenance OF the
Union. But he made some sort of record,
and it will have to stand.-Philodelphia
