Three Reasons Why Indepen.
dents Cannot Support Tiiden.

I. Because his election would mean
the triumph of soft money. For
months before the nomination Gov.
Tilden had hegun to weaken on this
point, to urge that the currency ques-
tiOn ought to be kept in the back
ground, to insist that it was better to
get control of the Government before
trying to settle the finances. By the
time he came to write his letter he had
resolved to go far enough to satisfy the
infiationists. He did satisfy them.
Gen. Thomas Ewing. jr., The Cincinnati
Enquirer, and the whole crazy crowd
who shouted themselves hoarse in de-
nouncing him before the convention
and sUlked in their tents afterwsrd,
have been hearty and enthusiastic ever
since his letter was published. If he
Isurrenders to them now in advance,
what would he do as President, when
they had a clear majority in Congress =?
II. The election of Tilden would
mean the utter defeat of civil service
reform. He and his party do not pro-
pose to turn Out the incompetents -
they propose to turn out everybody.
Last Winter they began by turning out
men who, under all administrations
and all parties, had been held indispen-
sable because of their work. They fill
ed the most delicate and responsible
places with incompetents, and the
whole capital was overrun with a
horde of ignorant Office hunters,
scrambling for the vacancies that had
been created by wholesale. I'VE can
not help it," said one of the most in
teIligent and conscientious of the Dem
ocratic Congressman. "These men,
and especially those from the South,
are too hungry. No party could resist
them" If such was the invasion pro-
vOked by the paltry patronage of the
House of Representatives, what would
happen with the whole patronage of
Executive in their hands ?-Hayes
would turn out the incompetents and
the dishonest. Tilden would turn out
everybody, good and bad, would make
absolutely every Office in the United
States prize for present party service,
and would thus set back civil service
reform quarter of century.
III. Tilden's triumph would mean
the sectional array of the solid South
once more against the controlling and
better element at the North. The
country is not quite prepared for that
result of the war. 1t would be most in
furious to the South itself, and to the
country at large it would certainly be
perilous.-N. Y. Tribune.

l. II. PATTERSON, ESQ.,, President of the
Narrow Gauge, has just returned from an ex-

A PREPARATION so widely and ia
vorably known as HALLs's NEGETA
BILE SICrLIAN HAIR REVIEWER, need:
few words of praise from US. This
compound has won its way to the
highest favor in the public mind; and
muItitudes, who have vainly used 9TH
er remedies for the restoration of their
hair, have, on trying the Sicilian Re-
newer, been made glad by the speedy
restoration of their gray hair to its ma
tural color, and the thin locks thicken-
ed up, as in the days of early youth. 1t

it soft snd glossy, and is altogether the
best preparation for its intended pur

Complaints are being daily made among our
country farmers, of their neighbors' stock
trespassing upon their premises, and running
at large on the public highways. Their COM
plants are more particularly directed to the
owners Of sheep infected with what they call
foot-rot. They report, that SO common are
flocks of these infected sheep running at large
on the roads, that it is almost impossible tc
pass along their range with a flock of sound
sheep, without carrying the contagion home
to the almost utter destruction of their fine
fiocks. There arc stringent laws on this sub
iect, and any one guilty of said offense, ough
to be prosecuted to its fullest extent. A Wort
TO the wise is sufficient.

WHEN the country was in the greatest peril
R. E. Chambers, the Independent candidate
for Judge, stumped this county for that arch
traitor Vallandigham, and was a candidate
upon the same ticket with him. He favored
the election of traitor to the chief Office Of
the great State of Ohio, when his election
meant the downfall of the Republic. He has
not changed his political opinions since that
time, and. to-day would take the same course
should opportunity offer.
