Ex.GOy. William Allen.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer
interviewed ex-Gov. William Allen of Ohio,
at Chillicothe. few days ago. We quote from
bis letter as follows:
L asked the governor if he had read Tildeu',
letter of acceptance.
"Yes, shrewd, able, statesnanlike letter.
And it goes step or two further than antici-
pated. IL enunciates policies and precepts that
the Democrats of Ohio were abused and derided
for stating on the stump last fall. 1t is far
more favorable than anticipated, aud con-
tains the germ of a future reform of the cur
rency in the interests Of the people. Why, sir,
he admits fact that stated on the stump last
fall seventy-three times-that the currency,
the volume of the currency, cannot be fixed
and hampered within any circumscribed limits;
it must vary with the demands of the people
and of business. That is the cause of the re-
cent panic and of the present hard times;
there is not enough currency to transact the
business of the country. The - fools, some
of whom, with books, talk about an over-pro-
duction. How can there be an over-production
of anything that is valuable? No, sir, it is
the lack OF sufficient currency to carry on the
business of the country. to meet the demands

ries into fertile farm lands, building railroads
and factories, and tearing wealth out of the
bowels OF the earth.
Agaip, Gov. Tilden makes another state.
ment that uttered on the stump, and that Is
this: Tee government, having monopoly of
supplying currency to the people, is bound to
supply enough. Altogether, the letter is far in
advanc of what hoped and expected. The
outlook is little clearer, and Ohio Democrats
can stand upon the platform"
Governor, it has been thought that you
could do the ticket an immense amount of
good in Ohio by making few judiciously dis
tributed speeches this fall.
"Some gentlemen from Indiana were here
the other day, and were anxious to have me
soeak at Indianapolis at a meeting shortly to
be held there. / said then as say now, win
make no speeches in this campaign. Hence
forward am private citizen. I shall 90 to
the polls in November aud vote the Democratic
ticket Then L will come home aud think. And
that is what great many other Democrats
will do"

No INTELLIGENT man can afford to mistake
the believing for buster. The South is a
unit in this canvass, and in its desperation it
will leave no means untried to once more
secure political control. We know too well
what that means, and the Mobile Register
only speaks the sentiment OF its State when
it says:
The grave question to be settled at much cost
is, What is to be doue to get rid of the negro as
voter? Sooner or later with more or less
despatch, he will be disfranchsed and thrust
out of politics. White men of all parties and
of every grade of religious or moral conviction
may as well come quickly to the consideration
how to get the negro out of politics with the
least confusion and cost. He must 60, and
there is no profit in standing long upon the
order of his going. The question of suffrage
belongs to the States respectively. When the
reorganized Democracy of 1876 20 into Office
each State will be allowed to settle this and all
other social and domestic issues for itself and
in it's own way, without any interference from
the General Government Then. and not till
then, can we begin the work of resetting our
shattered political and our demoralized social
institutions upon correct foundations,

Called to Answer.

Samuel Tilden, Democratic candidate for
| the Presidency, is called upon to answer to
| specific charges of swindling and perjury.
He is accused of having in his possession
many thousands of dollars which rightfully
belong to the United States government.
The facts on which the charges are based are
these: That for the ten years from 1862 to
1872 the average annual income of Mr.. Til
den was not less than $4,000; that during
that period he paid tax only on an average
annual income of SIS, 900; and that therefore
he must be indebted to the Government for
the unpaid tax on at least quarter of mil
lion of dollars; that to the crime of swindling
he has added specific charge OF perjury b,
swearing to two affidavits, one of which
must be false, the first subscribed to in 1865
and setting forth that his net income from all
sources for the year 1852 amounted to $7,11S,
the second subscribed to the present year
and setting forth that he received in 1862
$4,000 as counsel fees for services rendered
to the ST. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute
railroad.
This fee of $4,000 did not represent the
whole professional income of Mr.. Tilden,
and in addition to that income he received
about $4,000 from interest on bonds and
investments. In the whole his income for
1852 was over $4,000, so he must have de-
frauded the government that year of the tax
on $4,000. Succeeding years show quite as
bad a record, and upon them the United
States District Attorney will begin suit
against Mr.. Tilden. Thus this champion of
honesty and reform, the only man whom the
Democracy could find in all their ranks that
was in any sense representative and expon-
ent of the issues upon which they profess to
fight the campaign, stands arraigned as
swindler and perjurer. As yet he lisps not
word of defense.

A Voice from Colorado.

The following letter from Ezra Calderwood
ESQ.,, who moved from this city about two
years ago to Boulder City, Colorado, will be
read with interest by his numerous friends
here. Mr.. Calderwood is staunch Republ-
can and three of his sons now residing in
this city have declared for Hayes and Wheel
er:
The day is not far distant when these noun
tains will be the richest part of our country.
The summer has been warmer than usual. The
nights here in the mountains are cool and de-
lightful Men need not fear to come here on
account of the Indians, as none of the tribes
that are at war come within one hundred miles
of us, and where Crook is fighting them is from
three to five hundrt d miles away. Men soon
lose their love for the noble red man here As
to politics, the men here from Maine will
watch with intense interest for the news from
Vermont and the Pine Tree state, as their cleo.
tions come first. Iregard our country as being in
more danger now from such men or demagogues
as Tilden and Hendricks, than it was when our
soldiers were in the field. have loug since
made up my mind never to vote for man for
President who aided or abetted those traitors
that fired upon the flag of our country, as Til
den and Hendricks did. Who are the men
that make up the Democratic party? Jefferson
Davis and every other rebel, and almost every
Catholic in the land.
And now boys, let me say to you all stand
fast for the right and vote for the men that
have stood by their country in her hour of
need. And when the telegraph bears the news
of the election in Maine to her sons here, let it
bear no uncertain message. We shall make
every effort to carry our new state of Colorado
for Hayes and Wheeler.

IT was undoubtedly the most stupid Mrs.
Harris of the number now engaged on the
editorial staff of the argus who wrote the
following which appears in the issue of yes
terday:
The PRESS referred to 'tthe florrid coantenance''
of Capt. Deering. intimating that he is drinking
man. Now II that is the test, why certainly. Mr..
Dresser, the Republican nominee, is drunkard, for
he has got regular bloater's face, although we do
not know that he drinks anything intoxicating. The
PRESS Is welcome to all 1t can make out of such
nasty personalities in connection with such man as
Capt. Charles Deering.
Now what the PRESS reporter did say of
Captain Deering is as follows:
While the second ballot was pending, the CAPTAIN
pointed out to the delegates and his forid COM
pe1ion won him many adherents, the reformers mis-
taking the results of air and good health for
the effects OF something else.
We have only to remark that no one but
an idiot could have drawn the above infer
ence from the PRESS remark. And we may
further remark that we have known Capt.
Deering for several years and can most cheer
fully bear testimony to his high character as
a man. So far from being drinking man, j,
Capt. Deering is a total abstainer and be-
lever in prohibition, and as his votes while
member of the House in 1872, show. Feb
ruary q, 1872, Capt. Deerlng recorded his
vote for the bill including native wine and
cider in the list of intoxicating liquors, the
sale of which was thereby prohibited by law.
On the same day his name appeared among
those who voted for the "sherff enforcement
lava measure which the rum-seling in
terest have been very eager to repeal the past
three years.

AND now it turns out that the discharge
of the Pittsfeld post Office clerk was in ac-

service reform. The aforesaid clerk was an
uncvl blatherskite who insisted on talking
politics while waiting upon those who called
at the office. 1t was, therefore a most civil
act to remove such a nuisance. 1t would
be well for journals which intend to be fair
to bear in mind that the Bangor Commercial
