GOVERNOR T7LDENS CHARACTER

Radical papers designate the Demo,
cratic candidate for President as "Thiei
Tilden," and in every issue attempt to
prove that he is dishonest man. We
reproduce from some of the most re-
spectacle New York Republican papers
their opinions of Governor Tilden:
An admirable man for public office.--
IN. Y Evening Post, Rep. M
Personally he is honest enough.-[E
Y. Commercial Advertiser, Rep.
Mr.. Tlden has fairly earned the favor
of his party.-fSyracuse Journal, Rep.
| Samuel j. Tildeh we believe to be a
thoroughly honest man.-[N. Y, Journal
OF Commerce, Rep.
In public and private life. as a Demo
crat and as citizen, his record challenges
sCrutiny.-[N. Y. Mail. Rep.
| We have nothing to say against Tilden
as man, an exemplary, citizen and a
Democrat,-[Lockport journal, Rep.
No one will deny his eminent respect
ability, or vel ture to cast any doubts
upon his, integrity. Brooklyn Union,
Rep. rE ~- -aH'
Mr.. Tilden is gentleman of culture
and refinement His has been busy

Rep.
We have respect for Mr.. Tilden. We
utter nothing in disparagement of his
character or his worth,-[ Albany Journal
Rep. .'.tl-.- QUO.
His honesty and integrity lift him
above the foul atmosphere in which they
plan their nefarious purposes.-]B Brook
lyn Argus, Ind.
Mr.. Tilden's personal character is so
for above reproach that it will reflect
credit and honor upon his associates
N. Y, Tribune, Ind,
We respect Mr. Tilden personally, and
are glad to have an honorable opponent
in the coming campaign,-[Bufalo Ex-
press, Ind.
Mr.. Tilden is highly respectable can
didate, and no man in the State who
wishes to see the return Of the Democrats
to power need be ashamed to vote for
him.-[N N. Y. Times, Rep.
We congratulate our Democratic
friends on being led by so respectable a
standard bearer as Samuel ]. Tilden. 1t
is good sign Of the times when even
the Democracy can nominate such a
man. Poughkeepsie Eagle, Rep.
He is man of ability and integrity,
and his selection by the Democracy as
their standard bearer is an evidence that
character and capacity are still thought
to be worth something as qualifications
for office.-[N. Y. Graphic, Ind.
He has always had the reputation Of
high personal character, and his opposi-
ton to the Tweed gang of thieves has
even placed him in some degree among
political reformers. Mr.. Tilden is a
man great wealth, and is generally re-
cognized, we should say, as thoroughly
safe conservative man. Troy Wing,

TIE Democrat is opposed to civil SER
vice reform. 1t wants all the appoint
ments in a district left entirely to the
members of Congress, as is now the GUS
tom, and is opposed to having the Presi-
dent making the appointments as the
Constitution provides, and as Washing
ton, Jefferson and the earlier Presidents
all did, till the Democratic doctrine of
"to the victors belong the spoils" became
the rule, Hayes proposes to restore the
rule of the early Presidents Repository,
The DEMOCRAT wishes honest men ap-
pointed to position, not Belknaps, Bah
cocks, Boss Shepherds, McKees, Joyces,
Macdonalds, &c. Isn't that civil service
reform? The people are going to elect
Tilden, when we shall have genuine re-
form. Hayes promises no change in Of
fetal appointments at all.

AS matters stand, how do the Repub-
licans propose to win? There is but one
chance, Unless they cut loose from the
Administration so completely that they
may enjoy its unconcealed hostility, they
are scarcely likely to find the returns
satisfactorily. Y. Tribune.
The Tribune ought to explain how the
party can spew itself out of itself after
saying in its platform:
"The National Administration merits
commendation for its honorable work in
the management of foreign aud domestic
affairs, and President Grant deserves the
continued and hearty gratitude of the
American people for his patriotism, and
his immense services in war and in
peace"
The Tribune realizes the difficulties in
the way of Hayes's success, and as that
paper earnestly desires the election of
Hayes, it speaks out.

POLITICAL POINTS.

Horatio Seymour will probably be
Democratic candidate for Governor of
New York.
Senator John Sherman assailed Tilden
in speech in the United States Senate
the other day. Better Sherman than a
better man.
II Hayes is a reformer, why does he
permit Zach Chandler, Secretary of the
Interior, to neglect his public duties to
assume the position of Chairman of the
National Republican Committee?
The Republicans have control of the
government of South Carolina. If they
are such great friends of order as they
pretend, why did not that government
disperse the rioters before the collision
took placeP The only answer is. that
they wanted riot to help manufacture
political capital in the North.
Twelve out of the eighteen German
papers of Iowa support Tilden. One is
for Hayes, and the other five are on the
fence.
Pittsburg Post: Tilden, in the matter
of reform, backs his profession by prac-
tice, and gives token of the faith that is
in him. Hayes only promises. They are
cheap.
Congress may adjourn next week.
The President has signed the silver
bill at last Now for some silver.
A committee of the British Parliament
are investigating the causes in the de-
cline ofsilver.
1t is said the best feeling does not ex-
list on the part of Grant & Co., towards
Hayes and Wheeler.
Gen, Franz Siegel votes NIT Tilden.
John Quincy Adams spoke for Tilden
at Portland, Maine, last Saturday.
Cassius NJ Clay is for "Tilden, Reform
and Constitutional liberty"

Congress, and in subdued tone submit

proper method to pursue is to turn out
all whose dishonesty has been proven
and retain all whose honesty and ability
have been thoroughly established. ?

The Republican party acts directly
contrary. Itturns out all men who have
proven to be honest, and retains only
the dishonest ones. Witness the sum

the retention of Cameron, Chandler,
Robeson and that class of thieves. Why

Basket.WiIlOW Culture.

We received, some time since, ques-
ton as to the best method of cultivating
basket-willow. This was referred to q
gentleman who had at one time been en-
thusiastic in this direction, but no answer
was received. We find the ground COW
cred in an article in the Rural Neu Yorker,
and present the main points:
The culture of osiers or basket-willows is
exceedingly simple. Low, moist soil is,
of course, preferable to that which is
high and dry. The land should be as
thoroughly prepared as for any other crop,
that is, plowed and narrowed until all
weeds and grass are killed out Then set
the cuttings a foot apart, and the rows
from four to six feet, in order that the Gull
tivation may be continued among the
plants for the first two or three years, as
we'll as to give room for passing between
the rows in gathering the crop. The cut
tings should be about a foot long, and set
in the spring as soon as the ground is
sufficiently dry for the purpose.
The heading back, or pruning should
commence the second season after plant
ing, in order to secure a number of shoots
from each root, even if the first seasons
canes are not long enough to be of any
value. The second season a light crop
may be expected, and should be taken off
at time when the bark will peel off
readily. The peeling may be done with
a machine or by hand, according to cir
There have been hundreds
of willow plantations started in various
parts of the country, though few now
remain in productive condition. Willow
culture is not profitable, except where one
has good home market. -Ch5caqo
