OPEy FIRE ALL ALONG THE
LINE!

We hear OF danger to this candidate,
that nominee and the other man on the
county ticket. If there is airy weak
place on the line. don't stop to talk
about it; 60 and strengthen it. If the
dyke is broken or shows signs of leak
ing. get force together, instanter, and
fortify that place. There is no excuse
for the defeat of any Republican named
in Ormsby county. The way to make
this fight is to stand hand to hand and
shoulder to shoulder. every man rallying
to the standard and every man standing
firm and square for every other man Oh
tho ticket. The history of politics in
this county shows what can be done by
thus remaining true to the whole pro-
gramme. Some of our best and most
effective work has been done in the days
when there was no money and nothing
but zeal to inspire the voters of the
county to action. Let each candidate
and each candidates friends stand to
every other candidate, making q true,
brave, honest and honorable fight,
actuated by the spirit of Republicanism,
and there can be 10 doubt Of victory, no
such word as fail! Let us quit shaking
a doletul doubling head over the posi-
bilities Of the defeat Of certain candidates
and all Join hands and swear to support
the whole tickle: and every man on il
from Elector to Constable, and the
Democracy won't get within gunshot OF
q single trick.

The truth concerning the number OF
troops to be sent to South Carolina,
and the feeling among the soldiers in
attendance upon the meeting Of the
Army Of the Tennessee, is described as
follows under date OF New York Octo-
Der 10:
Sensational statements as to the con-
centration Of 10000 troops from the
Department of the Atlantic at Column
bia are made in nearly all the Demo-
cratic papers. They are not tenable.
A staff officer of Sherman's says to-
night such stories are mischievously
false, as there are less than 5000 troops
in the entire Department of the Allan
tic which are available for any pur-
pose whatever. The soldiers at the
reunion of the Army of the Tennessee
are very much excited at the Southern
situation, and there is a great deal of
belligerent talk among them. Some
Of their foremost men say with earn
sotness that if they should ever take
the field again they would follow

lines.
WHY NOT PArRoN1zE NEvADA?-The
Silver State has the following statemen!
and pertinent query:
Among other articles which arrived
here yesterday for the Government post
at Camp McDermit, was car load OF
flour from California. The unloading Of
this flour at the depot led to this in
quiry: why does not our good old
Uncle Samuel purchase flour manufac.
tured in Humboldt county from wheat
raised in Paradise Yalley?'' The quality
of the home made flour is not excelled
by that of California, and it costs less.
It certainly would look a little better on
the part of the Government to patronize
the farmers and millers of the frontier,
who are endeavoring to reclaim the will
derness, than to import -four from an
other State at greater cost, and of no
better quality, if as good.

Washington Special to the Chicago Times-l
1t is only short time since Grants
private parson, Rev. John P. Newman,
returned from a tour around the world,
where he was sent asa General 1Inspec-
tor of Consulates. He had salary of
eight dollars day in gold and all his
expenses. He was also allowed two
thousand five hundred dollars year for
private secretary. This he also COB
bled by appointing his wife secretary.
No one ever heard. of any report from
this expensive ornament. He gathered
up material for several books and lec-
lures, but where the Government was
the gamer by the transaction no one
could see. This appointment of an In
spector is discretionary with Secretary
Fish. One would have thought that
Newman's tour was enough of that sort of
thing until the next Centennial, at least,
but it appears that Fish had started out
Arthur B. Wood, personal friend Of his,
to go roaming about the world, while
the Government pays all his expenses
and handsome salary besides. Secre-
tary Fish, before the House adjourned,
complained bitterly of how his Depart
ment had been crippled by the House
reductions. The above useless appoint
ment, involving large expenditure of
money, shows how the funds of his De-
partment could still be cut down.

Why the People Of Ohio are in Revolt
Against the Republican Party.
New York Sun.l

.
Garfeld's nomination in the face of
his glaring venality is an insult to the
moral sentiment of Ohio without regard
to party. He was caught with the
Credit Mobilier scrip in his pocket, which
was the price paid for his votes on that
and other jobbery. And it was proved
before the investigation, not only by
Oakes Ames's testimony and diaries, but
by his own handwriting, that he COM
mitted deliberate perjury. He swore
positively that he had no interest in the
Credit Mobilier, and that the bribe which
he received was only loan. Yet while
the investigation was actually going on
he went to Oakes Ames and claimed that
he was entitled to more money than had
been paid to him for his share of the
corruption, and made a detailed state
ment of the dividends and cash to estab-
lish his demand. The paper was pro-
duced before the Committee, and Oakes
Ames told how it came into his pos
session.
Garfield, as Chairman of the Appro-
priations, carried through So, 10000 for
the Washinton Ring in six weeks, and
was rewarded not only with a fee of
five thousand dollars for corrupt con-
tract procured by his influence, but
with other substantial tokens of Boss
Shepherds partiality. This man, thus
notorious for venality, for the sale of his
public trusts, and for fragrant jobbery, is
nominated for Congress by the machine
which he has hitherto controlled by the
power of the Administration.
He is an acknowledged leader of the
party, and in the event of success would
aspire to be the Speaker of the House,
which is now disgraced by his presence.
1t is no wonder that honest men in Ohio,
who followed the Republican standard
while it represented principles and in
tegrity, are weary of supporting rogues
and thieves as leaders, and turn hopefully
to the banner of Reform.
They see John Sherman, who entered
Congress poor, and has pursued no pro
fession or business since then, crown into
a millionaire with a prineely income, to
illustrate how profitable are the ways OF
Washington to those who pull the wires
of legislation and change their financial
policy to suit the bondholders and COM
bined capital. They see Bingham repre-
senting the United States in Japan, and
appointed right on the heels of the in
vestigation which proved him to be one
of Oakes Ames's chosen confederates.
There is revolt against these iniquities
now, but there will be revolution in
November.

No Work.

No financial crisis, no money panic,
no long prevalence of hard times, such
as we are now experiencing, has ever
failed to be followed by political revo-
luton in this country. Tne result of an
appeal to the economic aspects of the
campaigns of 1910 and 1860 was such as
is likely to happen to the Democracy this
year, because the present material condi-
tion of the country is more prostrated
than it was in either of those epochs and
because the responsibility for the exist
ing condition of affairs is more directly
traceable to the political party in power
than it was sixteen or thirty-six years
ago. The past few years have been ex-
ceedingly prolific in every branch of
natural increase to our national wealth.
Our harvests have been abundant, our
mines have yielded bonanzas Of hidden
treasure. no unusual calamity has been
visited upon us, and the Republican
party is without any excuse whereby to
account for the prevailing condition Of
things. No influence could have brought
it about except the most fragrant govern
mental maladministration, and for all
that which has occurred for sixteen years
in the general government and in most
of the states the Republican party which
held undisputed power, is to be held
responsible. This is the most significant
aspect of the campaign, it is the issue
upon which it is to be fought, it is the
vantage ground upon which the Democ-
racy will win it.
Every community in the country
bears its testimony to the prevailing de-
preston, and all such testimony is a
powerful argument in favor of a gen.
eral political change. The idle work,
man, the capitalist whose Investments
are crumbling before his eyes, the weary
tramp upon the dusty highway seeking
in vain for labor, are the most potent
stump orators in the land. And wher.
ever they appear their presence puts
the Republican party upon the defen,
sive. A writer in the New York hlde
pendent, lightly sketching the state o.
things in Massachusetts,, unconsciously
presents more vivid picture of the ne
cessity for administrative change thar
we have seen in the words of any pOlit
ical orator. The writer says:
All through the sweet June weather, they
come trOOping up-a tattered, grimy, des
perate, sad, but never a bad procession

Where the Money Goes.

In a remarkable and exhaustive ad-
dress delivered at Saratoga by the Hon.
David A. Welles, this learned political
economist and statistician undertook to
give the causes and remedy for the pres
ent universal depression in business. As
one of those causes Mr.. Wells pointed
out the extrayagant cost of government.
This is a matter to which Gov. Tilden
has often adverted, and it is one that
ought to be kept constantly before the
people, and impressed upon them. This
succinct statement of the facts should be
read and re-read by every voter:
The next item in the bill of particulars to

INC" lOih "Oliu-l
We have received the following letter
from Mr.. Charles Gardner, of Cincinnati,
dated September 8:
In your issue of yesterday, you say:
MIR. Hayes assures us, over his own sig
nature, that he deeply sympathizes' with
a movement for an amendment limiting
suffrage to persons born in this country, or
of American parents and the choice of
fAmerican-born citizens only to official posi-
tions.' Mr.. Schurz had better announce this
to his German brethren, and prevent them
from being caught with chat, as he has
been."
L don't believe Mr.. Hayes, over his sigma
ture, or in any other way, ever said any such
thing. If you can prove it, do so, and make
one vote for your trouble, for, though Re-
publican, | shall vote for Mr.. Tildsn il what
you say OF Mr.. Hayes is true.
We think that Mr.. Gardner will vote
for Tilden, and this is why: -...
The American Alliance" adopted a
series of resolutions which said of the
nominations of Messrs. Hayes and
Wheeler that they were "hereby in
dorsed by the American Alliance Confer
ence," and the Alliance earnestly ad-
vised all who are in favor of American
principles, as advocated and set forth in
these resolutions, to give these nomina-
ton an active and determined support"
"These resolutions" were sent to Mr..
Hayes, who returned hefollowing reply,
dated July 5, 1876, addressed to Samuel
J. Tyler" Secretary of the American
Alliance"
have Just received your letter informing
me of my election as member of your ad-
mirable Alliance. Return my thanks to the
Alliance, as deeply sympathize with its
principles. Iremain your feLlow-citizen,
R. B. HAYES.
Now here is one expression Of the
"principles" of the Alliance of which
Mr.. Hayes is proved to be member and
with which he " deeply sympathizes."
can amendment to the naturalization
laws limiting suffrage to persons born in
this country or of American parents;
the election of American-born citizens
only to official positions in this country
opposition to the Interference of the
Roman Catholic organizations in the
political affairs of the nation, and oppo
sition to the formation of political organ
izations composed exclusively of foreign
born citizens"
We may add to this that ten days age
foreign-born citizen of Brooklyn wrote
to Mr.. Hayes if it was true that he held
to such Know-Nothing views, and thai
Mr.. Hayes had not thus far deigned tt
reply-or to return the stamps incloseC
him for an answer.
And now will Mr.. Charles Gardnel
not give us that vote for Tilden?

An Independent Opinion.

1t is the West that is the most unjust
and illiberal in this campaign. Massa-
chusetts has the brains to see the folly of
the reckless and wicked course which
many speakers and newspapers have
pursued, and she talks out her opinion
freely. Says the Boston Globe, an inde-
pendent Republican journal: 1t is diff
cult for men who are not carried away
by the Fictitious excitement engendered
in a political campaign to understand
why so much stress shol Id be laid on the
sectional issue in this canvass, especially
by stump orators of the Republican
party. Such men know full well that
there is no real occasion for the appeals
in behalf of the preservation of our lib
critics or the representations of danger
to the Union from unrepentant rebels"
which make up such large proportion
of the campaign speeches. The people
generally dislike this continued conten-
tion over dead issues, and this attempt
to keep alive the antagonism between
North and South. They want peace and
tranquility for the whole country, and
they believe that their fellow-citizens of
the South want the same thing.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-09-21
The Income Question.

Henry Ward Beecher, who is Hayes
and Wheeler Republican, is disgusted.
with the course pursued by the over
Jealous Republican partisans on the sub
ject of Governor TIlden's income, and
thus talks about the matter in his paper,
the Christian Union:
The Times finds fault with our last
weeks paragraph respecting malicious
story about an evasive income return by
Mr.. Tilden several years ago." 1t is
quite within the range of possibility
that the originator of the charge was
actuated by the noblest of motives, but
the truth may be spoken in malice as
well as in love; and the manifest delight
with which the charge was taken up
and amplifed by the partisan Republi-
can press was a sufficient evidence of the
degree to which the comments were
pervaded by a Christian spirit. The
Democratic journals have now a chance
to return the compliment, since the
Toledo Sunday Democrat has drawn up a
statement, which it says is from official
data, showing that General Hayes's in
come returns are not all that they
should be. Our last weeks refer
ence to the Tilden story in con-
nection with an absurd charge against
General Hayes seems to have conveyed
the impression that we are inclined to
treat lightly of serious matters. Any
sense of amusement which that para
graph may have indicated was aroused
by the ingenuity evinced by campaign
scandal mongers, not by an underesti-
mate of the gravity of the ofenses
charged, should they prove true. Most
citizens will be glad to rest assured, how
ever, that the charge against Mr.. Tilden
is without just grounds. The Commercial
and Financial Chronicle, of September 2,
shows clearly that the income tax was
levied. not on moneys received but on
moneys earned during the year. The
instructions from the Internal Revenue
Office were explicit. ga merchants re-
turn of income shonld cover the business
of the year 1862, excluding previous
years. Uncollected accounts must be es-
timated." We should have supposed our
selves that all income tax was a tax on in
comes; but surely no man can be charged
with fraud and forgery for accepting the
official decision of the government, and
making the return on his earnings. And
it appears from Mr.. Tilden's published
affidavit that the $4,000 paid him in
1862 were for services rendered in 1859,
1860 and 1861. The Times, we observe,
has not vet seen this article in the
Chronicle. We quote, with emphatic in
dorsement and approval, the declaration
of the Chronicle, which we commend to
the attention of the Times: "When'a
character has stood the test of three
score years, every individual has 8
personal interest in it, reaching fal
beyond the passing political excitements
of the day."
