A SELECONFESSED SIAN.
DERER.


If the reply Of the Tribune to Judge
Sinnott's rctutal of the Times ISLANDERS
is amusing, the reply of the Times is
pitiable. 1t is perfect jumble of re-
fractions, reassertions, corrections and
contradictions, The Times actually
confesses that it charged respectable
citizen (never mind his candidacy for
the Presidency with perjury" be-
cause he did not, as the Times does,
confound "earnings' with "roccipts."
In relation TO one OF its charges, the
fifth, il admits That il has nepg had any
proof Of that charge tchateper, and yet
has never ceased to reiterate it in and
out of campaign supplements" and
elsewhere. Here are its own words,
the italics being ours
"Fiith-It is asserted that the Toledo
& Wabash railroad company never was
a client of Mr.. Tilden, and that neither
in 1862 nor at any other time did he
receive any fees from it. That we
must accept as conclusive Proof of
our charge pdS promised from authorities
in which zoe had confidence, but IN its db-
sence that item must be ioithdrdon"
Must it, indeed Hero is a public
journal openly coniessing that it made
a charge of perjury and swindling
against one Of the most eminent citi.
zens Of the United States not in the
least on proof but on the promise of
proof which promise having never been
fulfilled, the calumniator, upon being
confronted by the object of his calum-
ny, magnanimously withdrew" the
charge
Is it necessary to add one word to
the damning picture which tho Times
here paints of itself2--N Y World.

land oil political midnight darkness is
showing signs of returning common
sense, wonderful as it may seem. The
Radical idol out in Allegheny county
is being poorly worsbiped this year,
notwithstanding the $4,000 majority
for Grant four years ago. On Satur-
day evening week, the Democrats Of
Pittsburgh and Allegheny City inaugu.
rated the campaign by torchlight
procession which took the city by sur
prise. There were nearly 5000 men
in the line of procession, which was an
hour and five minutes in passing the
City Hall. 1t was the largest demon,
stration OF the kind ever witnessed
there. The streets were swarmcd with
people who turned out to witness the
procession. The procession was fully
four miles long and had twice as many
men in rank as the late Republican
gathering. Many private dwellings
along the route of march were illumi-
mated and there was a profasc display
of banners, transparencies and other
political devices. The turn out was
nearly as great as the whole vote for.
mcrly pollcd by the Democrats in those
cities.

Remove Them from the Ticket

1t is said that there are two mem
bers Of the Republican state ticket who
are scsDdalizsd by the presence of Orth's
name at the head, and demand its re-
mOval. This Is a high handed measure,
and these men, If they can be discovered,
should be removed from the ticket them
selves. Tney are out of place, and do not
represent the Republican party, If tney
have quslms of conscience about the little
matter of personal honor and integrity.
The party that solemnly in convention
Endorsed the Grant administration, have
made mistake if they have nominated
men who are distressed over Orth's ras-
cality. Grants administration with the
advice and consent of Morton made
pet of Ortb, and gave him
one of the best Offices in its gift. The
State Convention Endorsed Grant, Morton
and Ortiz. These recslcitrsnt candidates
with tender consciences had no right to
mix in with the party and secure a NOM
instion. They are out OF place. They are in
the wrong crowd and should be in the re-
form party. Let them stop at once their
warfare upon Orth. The Republican party
should demand this. They have made q
mistake In nominating thess men, and
they should relieve the party of their
presence on the ticket. Orth has the best
right to stay. His Venezuela record seals
him ss representative man, while those
other fellows have never swindled
widow. lobbied for subsidies, sold their
officisl influence or received seven thous-
and dollars for swiDdIing foreign gov
eminent. Let them get out of the way.
Ortiz is the true representative man of the
party.

The Opponents of Ortiz.

The Inconsistency of those Republicans
who are demanding that Orth shall be
taken from the ticket will appear when it
is considered that the state convention
which nominated Orsh Endorsed Grant and
his administration. Now, what sort OF
fairness Is there In supporting the Repub-
can platform of this state and still oppos-
ing 0rth? Ifsny principle of honesty i'm
pels these men to oppose Orth on account
OF his corruptions, it would coDstTsin
them also to repudiste the state conven-
ton and the party that has Endorsed Grant
aud all the corruptions of his administra-
ton. Every reason that these men can
urge for taking Orsh off the ticket
condemns the party of this state,
and indeed the national convention of
the Republican party. What justice is
there In setting up code of morality for
Mr.. Orth to conform to, when the state
convention with its eyes open. in the very
face OF the Bslknsp and Bsocock ex-
posures, Endorsed Grant and his sdmiuis-
psople? II Grants doings are worthy of
commentator, and we have not heard
that the convention Will be recalled to
repudiste him. then Orth il not too bad to
lssd such party. The Evansville Journ sI,
the leading paper In the state that opposes
Orth, not very long since rasped its name
sake here for lis attacks upon the presi-
d mt. II the Journal here were consistent,
1t would denoui ce Orth as well as Grant.
IT the Evah sville Journal were consistent,
1t would den ounce Grant as we'll as Orth.

Ing igridcance. The Republican party
In the coming canvass has deliber-
ately and consciously accepted the
responsibility for the conduct Of the
government in the eight years inst
closing. 1t has commended Grant AMI in
dorsed his administration and in effect
points to its past record as q sample of it's
manner of governing the country and -
an earnest of what may be expected If the
power is again intrusted to it's hands. In
this connection ex-S0licitor Wilson's ex-
posture of the inner workings OF the gov
eminent may we'll commend itself to the
thoughtful consideration of every intelli-
gent voter. The report of the special com
mittee should tell very materially upon
the vote for Gov. Hayes In November. The
personal good character of the Republican
candidate can not conceal the TACT that he
g0es into the race burdened and weighted
down with the odium of a long roll of
deeds of corruption and infsmy, upon
every one of which his party has placed
the seal of its Endorsement, and not one OF
which has been condemned or repudisted
by any word of his. 1t is Hayes and not
Grant that is injured most by this new ex-
posure, which adds a new and heavy bur-
den to the load of damaging responsibility
under which he was already staggering.
This new revelation OF the manner and
methods OF Republican rule does not tell
so severely against the old, decsyed, dis
honOred administration OF Grant as it does
against the prospective administration
of the new chief of the Republican rings,
which is to be avowedly founded upon and
continuation OF the old one. 1t is in this
light that the Wilson evidence has the
most Significance. 1t is in this connection
that the country will receive it, and it is
in this connection that 1t will contribute
TO the defeat in November, in one fell
sRoop, of Grantism, Republicsnism
whisky lings, Indian rings, revenue frauds
and post leadership steals, and inciden-
tally to the discontinue OF the personally
inoffensive genetleman who has kindly
consented to act as respectable figure
hesd to the Republican p'rstical craft.
