The White Blackbird. or "a White
Crow; or. u Tammany Reform
er Show!
Has the age of miracles past? Why
not look for wonders in these latter
days? Tammany reform-why not?
Tweed reform-who doubts it? Nor
rissey reform-see the Saratoga gam

the Democratic party insured their
candidates? They never send out
black ravens. The crows they eat are
always white. No political joke here.
Reformer Tilden! Who can doubt?
After twenty years New York Ring
training. and graduating by the Tam
many Hall University; after half life
time training under Principal Tweed,
Professor Connolly, Tutor Morrissey,
and all of that very learned Faculty,
whose celebrity has made famous
throughout civilization that wide
world-renowned Metropolitan school
Tammany Hall! Why, who dare doubt
bearing in mind the law of cause and
effect, and the fitness of things-the re-
forming fitness of the man SO long and
so thoroughly trained in that Reform
School, Tammany? What better di-
ploma can any alumnus present as a
candidate than that held by that senior
class graduate, Reformer Tilden!
And then remember, Tilden is no
inexperienced tyre, green and fresh
from the schools, but man ripe in ex-
perience OF long years of self-sacrifcing
'Reformp Yes, indeed-twenty years
counsellor for reform societies, as Cred

mining reform companies; fifteen years
experience in rag-money, wildcat cur
rency manufacturing; twelve years
practice in Railroad Bond superinten-

European Lilliputians compared with
this young American Reforner.
That young man Hsyes!-what can
he know? He never rubbed his coat,
even, against such institute as Tsmma-

education in a primary academy of

vitiate Hayes give for the reform of
anything democratically? On the 9TH

the reforming results of Tilden's elec

tion itself. Who>can entertain the
doubt of the pq6priety of voting for
'Tilden and Reform Fling that mot

street corner, and at every cross-road in
the land. There is no charm like it.
Gazing upon it everything is lost sight
of but 'Tilden and Reform'-the train

ture, all lost in the distance. Then,
blest with such sight, to every patriot
in the land at whose door stands the
WOLF that significant sight and the
shout, 'Tilden and Reform will bring

sisted. But his party is stronger than
any man. His culture and instincts
would lead him to defend hard mon
ey and public honor. But if be wants
to be President by Democratic votes
he is forced to acceptas his own the
opinion of the Democratic party. He
has made his choice. The letter of &C.
ceptance was surrender of all opposi-
ton TO the repeal of the Resumption
act. Mr.. Tilden consents to be, and to
the end must be, the mere fgure-head
of that machine whose motive power
is that spirit which sends Western and
Southern Democrats to Congress, and
whose aim is repudistion.-N. Y. Tri-

IT would appear that the Democrats

IT would appear that the Democrats
of Indiana, have not exercised due
caution in making up the electoral
ticket. John S. Scoby, an elector at
large, was charged in 1870 with having
'unlawfully, feloniously and falsely"
forged and counterfeited certain
promissory note for the payment of
money. Judgment was rendered
against him, and an execution issued
to recover the money belonging to eli.
ents which he had appropriated to his
own use. This Mr.. Scobey is strongly
in favor of reform, and is making
speeches in behalf of Tilden and Hend-
Kicks.
