PUBLIC OPINION.


, His (Tilden's) honesty and integrity
lift him above the foul atmosphere In
which they plan their nefarious pur-
poses. 81 Brooklyn On. " Argus 1nd.
Rep.)
Let every man who wants thorough
overhauling OF the accounts In Wash
ington. who wants the books searched,
who wants jobbery and corruption ex-
posed and punished, enroll himself Mt
once under the banner Of Tilden and
Reform. The moral effect of one bold
utterance Mt the present time Is worth
ten votes on election day.-[Utica OBJ

We believe Iowa could be carried on
Tom Ewing's minority report against
the resumption act and demanding its
immediate repeal. This Is not hard
money State, and Congressional candi-
dates would do well to make note Of
it. Burlington Ua.) Gazette Und.)
He CTildenl has always had the repu-
tatiou OF high personal character, and
his opposition To the Tweed gang Of
thieves has even placed him In some de-
gree among political reformers. Mr..
Tilden is a man OF great wealth, and Is
generally recognized, we should say, as
a thoroughly safe conservative person

The Republicans have promised to
resume specie payments Janaary /.

not keep the promise. And that is the
extent of their devotion to "sound
currency. Watertown Dispatch Dem.
The notion that there can be no infla-
ton OF hard money is too weak to de-
ceive even children. To take our gold

cents in silver as dollar Is an imitation
OF 25 per cent.-[Cincinnati Gazette

Senator Sherman lays it down that
no position taken by the Democratic
party since 1916 can be defended before
the country. He is mistaken. In 1S47
the Democracy expended only $53, 801,-
900; in 1s4S only $45,227 900; making Il
total for the two years of the Mexi-
can war about 800, 0O0,0 900. This Is only
about half as much 1914, 118, 900 as the
Republican party expended in the single
year of peace, 1874. That is one thing,
at least, the Democracy can defend be-
fore the country.-ISt. Louis Republi-

Gov. Chamberlain, OF South Carolina.
made great mistake politically when
he broke with Patterson and Moses.
Now when he wants to wave the bloody
shirt and call for troops and re-elect
himself, he finds that this plan OF cam
paign Is patented, and that the patent
ees are not disposed to assist him.
There have been but few more ridicu-
lous occurrences than the snubs re-
ceived by Mr.. Chamberlain, who went
to Washington with an undoubted out
rage in hand, expecting deferential
treatment according to his deserving,
and Is politely sent back with instruc-
tons to redress it himself. Il Harrisburg
Patriot (Dem)
II President Grant wishes to pardon
Avery, let him not stand upon the order
of his pardoning, but do it at once. The
report that he is waiting for adjourn
ment OF Congress ought to be absurd. |
But it is unhapply quite probable that
the President intends to liberate, not |
Avery only, but other friends who have |
fallen victims to the base conspiracy"
against whisky thieves, and found a
lodgment in the penitentiary. Possibly |
the President fears that the Democrats |
might fail to appreciate the purity of
his motives and the beauty OF his friend |
ship, and might ask inconvenient ques-
tions. We can safely assure him that |
they will be altogether too well pleased |
to interpose any objections. III there is
one.thing more than another for which |
all Democrats long at present, it is to
see the whisky thieves pardoned.- IN.
