One of the. things which will follow
Tilden's election as President, If he
shall be elected, is described as follows
by Tilden organ in the South:
The grave question to be settled at
much cost is: "What is to be done to
get rid OF the Negro as voter? Sooner
or later, with more or less dispatch, he
will be disfranchised and thrust out of
politics" White men of all parties and
of every grade of religion or moral con-
viction may as we'll come quickly to
the consideration how TO get the Negro
out Of politics with the least confusion
and cost. He must go, and there is no
profit in standing long upon til order
of his going. The question Of suffrage
belongs to the States respectively
"When the organized Democracy OF
1896 goes into Office each State shall be
allwed to settle this and other domes-
tic issues for itself and in its own way,
with out any interference from the Gen.
eral Government. Then we can be-
gin the work of resting our scattered
political and our demoralized social in
stitutions upon corrupt foundations.-
Mobile, Ala, Register, (Dem).
To this the Hudson Post inquires:-
How do the people like this program
me? The Mobile Register speaks out
boldly what il knows 10 be the intents
and purposes of the Tilden party in its
section. 1t talks right out the RE
forIa" which is necessary" in the
South. according to its Confederate
Democratic ideas.

A DisgraceruI Spectacle.

The Albany Evening Journal calls
attention to a very remarkable specta-
Gle, and one that has never been pre-
sented before in Presidential canvass.
IL will be remembered that a few days
before Congress adjourned, Mr.. Kas-
son arraigned Tilden in the House for
his unpatriotic record and his hostility
to the Union during the war. Mean
while it was publicly known that Til
den and Manton Marble we're visiting
Tilden's brother at New Lebonon, N.
York. When Mr. Hewitt, chairman OF
the Democratic National Committee,
rose the next day to reply to Kasson,
hu presented the following tolegraphic
dispatch from Marble in evidence of
Tilden's patriotism:
NKw LEBESoS, n. Y, Aug. 15.-To
the Hon. A. S. Hewitt, House OF Rep
resentatives, Washington: Your tele-
gram received and SHOWN NE. Al
though Mr.. Tilden was for the ten
years previous to the war and during
the war in private life, his position in
respect to the war was never open to
the slightest doubt, etc.
MASToS MARBLE.
Note the wording of this dispatch:-
1Our Telegram received anu SHOWN me.
Ii was not sent, therefore, to Marble.
II must have been sent to Tilden him
self. What a spectacle is this? MIR.
Kasson having impugned the record of
Tilden for patriotism, not one OF his
friend can remember an instance in
which he supported the Union. The
House was full OF Democrats. Hewitt,
Cox, Beebe; Wood, Ely and other life
long political friends were there. Not
one OF them knew of patriotic or 10y
al act OF his during the war. The chair
man Of the Democratic National Com
mittee has TO telegraph to Tilden him.
self TO find out whether he was n snp-
porter of the Union and whether he
was really patriotic when the country
was in peril. Do the people of the
United States propose to elect man
to the Presidency whose patsiotism is
so obscure and doubtful that his most
intimate friends never heard Of il, and
that no one but himself can tell any
thing about it? Was there ever more
disgraceful or sickening spectacle in
the record of n Presidential campaign?

IL is less than three months ago that
the Cincinnati Enquirer, Democratic.
told the truth about Gov. Tilden in
this frank and candid way.
I. He cannot carry his own State in
Noyebmer.
2. re cannot carry any SurtiI-ru
State.
3. He is hypocrite, political swim
dler, has long been public plunderer,
and is really the only disreputable can
didate prominently named on the
Democratic side.
4. He has sought this high Office by
methods so unprecedentedly shameless
and disreputable that it would be an
everlasting stigma upon Democratic
convention 10 nominate him, and a
ieproach upon the American people to
elect him il nominated.
The behavior Of those whe speak Tor
Mr.. Tilden, as his especial champions
aud friends, is far more damaging than
the evidence yet adduced. They treat
the matter fhppantly and contempu'
ously, as il IL we're not an objection IN
the estimation Of honest citizens thai
a candidate for the Presidency had
evaded taxes or made false returns
Or they explain that the large sums re-
cciyed in 1862, and subsequent years,
were really earned by many years o.
professional effort. Uuhappily, tins
excuse is SO shallow that II 1t could b'
supposed to be made by MIR. Tilde'

Governor Underwood, of Vermont,
made n speech last week; in the course
of which he brought out n new fact in
Tilden's career, showing Tilden's dis
loyalty during the war. Gov. Under
wood has known Tilden personally for
years; and Gov. Underwood's testimo-
ny cannot be impeached. IL any denial
or explanation is attempted, Gov. Un-
derwood authorized the announcement
that he had witnesses who were pres
ent at the time .he affair occurred. and
who stand ready to corroborate his
statement. That portion Of the speech
making this new charge is as follows:
"Of this doctrine Of Federal Union

A quarter OF million Of dollars Is
what is placed in the hands Of the
Democratic State Executive Commit
tee OF Ohio, in oader to carry out the
principles OF Reform. This fund is to
purchase votes for the Democratic Re-
form ticket. Tilden and Tammany
know no other method of carrying cleo
tions. They have been in the ballot
box stufiiugbusiness so long, aud have
been SO successful in New York with
their scheurcs of corruption, that they
think they can successfully employ the
same corrupt means in Ohio. IL is i'm
portant that fraud and corruption
should be used to carry out tho great
principles of Bourbon Reform. They
know they cannot win by honest means,
and il viii rest with the honest citizens
of Ohio, whether they shall be permit
ted to win by dishonest and dishonor-
able means. Forwarned is forearmed.

From the Albany Journal,
Gov. Tilden says in his letter OF ac-
ceptance: "The present depression in
all the business and industries OF the
people has its principal cause in exces-
siye governmental consumption"
The absurdity OF this declaration is
apparent from moments considera-
tion. What is "the governmental con-
sumption?" Plainly what the Govern
ment consumes in taxes. IL can't con-
sumo any more that it thus collects.
And what are Federal taxes? First,
the tariff duties, which are wholly lev
led upon foreign imports and not upon
domestic articles at all. Second, the
internal revenue taxes which are levied
only upon spirits, tobacco, ale, bank
deposits, aud capital, together with
stamps upon matches, checks. aud one
or two other articles-all told about
Sll0, ,000, 900 a year, and almost entirely
upon whisky and tobacco. That is all.
That is the whole governmental con
sumption" How many leaders OF this
article pay a single cent to the General
Government? And yet Gov. Tilder
displays hisprofound wisdom and seeks
TO arouse popular prejudice by assert
ing that "the present depression in al
tho business and industries of the peo-
pie has its principal cause in excessive
governmental consumption In viev
OF the facts the assertion is simply pre-
posterous.
But il is more than that-it is no
only preposterous but fiat contradic
tion OF what Gov. Tilden has himsel
said under other circumstances. Th'
Democratic State Convention at Syra
cuso last September was absolutely un
der his control. He dictated its nomi
nations and its platform declared
The present depression OF business !
caused by reduction from the unhealth,
stimulus OF an excessive, deprecated
and irredeemable currency" Not
word here about excessive govsrnger
tai consumption. An entirely differ
ent cause is assigned, and uDquestior
ably the correct causc. The Syracus
platform was right, and Gov. Tilden'
present assertion is wrong. III it b
true that the depression is due 10 n
action from a deprecated and irr'
deemable currency, as Gov. Tildtn d.
clared last September. then il is M
true that ID ia due to excessive go'
ernmeutsl consumption. as Gov. III
den now declares. The two assertion
directly contradict each other.

Strange EuIogIes.

A few days ago the Senate paid its for
NAL debt Of respect 10 the late Senator O.
;. FERRY of Connecticut. He was OF a
limited circle in public life, attached to the
dominant party; man whose acts were
consistent with professions OF integrity,
who lived uprightly in the midst of sur
rounding corruption, who spoke his
mind Independently, who scorned TO
whltewash or excuse venality, and who
held his political associates TO the fulfil
ment of their obligations.
1t is not surprising that he should have
challenged the general respect and conf
dence and won for himself an enviable
position in the public esteem. Tho oonsti-
tuition of his mind and character, strength
enod by earnest convictions Of duty, led
him to oppose with vigor the jobbery OF
the Administration; TO condemn its scan
dals, and to separate himself from the body
of the Republicans when they sustained
the san Domingo scheme, upheld the
frauds and impostions OF LEFT & STOCK
ING, justified the speculation of selling
arms to France, and endorsed other
enormities.
His conduct was living reproach to the
degradation OF ms party, and stern re-
buke TO the majority Of Senators who have
betrayed their trusts to bask In the sun
shine Of Executive favor. The sterling
truths that he uttered ranked deeply in
the minds of some of his associates, who
even in the solemn presence of death do not
seem TO have moderated their resentment.
Mr.. Howe Of Wisconsin was one OF the
Senatorial "eulOnistsn md said among
other things of Mr. FERRY;
lie did not always step with the party In which
Pc tWilcd nut Dee never deserted It. Occasionally PER-
nut lhlhA he never meant 10 mperil its hua triumph"
Even the sanctimonious FRELMGHuYsEN
could not let this occasion pass without n
fling AT the dead Senator. His opinion was
pretty plainly spoken, and with the usual
dash of egotism;
did not always ihlnk him fighf, but always felt
reassufel where found myself voting as he voted"

take exception TO any act or wish Of

They swallowed all his prescriptions from
san Domingo down to the meancst Of
BABcoCks jobs, without changing Il
muscle. and stood up before the country
