Illinois is one of the States that has
realized the folly Of sending democrats to
Congress to represent the State. With an
actual republican majority in the State Of
10000, there were by the neglect, apathy
and quarrels of the republicans. in 1874,
democrats sent to Congress from thirteen
of the nineteen districts. Eight republic
can districts elected democrats TO Con-
gress. Since. however. they have seen
the doings Of the ex-Confederate House,
they have had enough Of democracy, and
are fully alive and determined to clean
them out and send republicans in their
places. Nothing has done more to unite
and enliven the republican party of the
West than one years experience OF demo-
cratic rule In the House.

Some of the Southern demo cratic papers are

The colored people Of Charleston, S. c., held an

this meeting they would lose their employment,
but about one thousand according to the News

If Congress should repeal the act providing for
the resumption Of specie payments, Mr. Tilden
must ret from the candidacy which he has in
formally accepted. If it refuses, Mr.. Hendricks
must decline nomination which he would gladly
accept as a stepping stone to future power and

From the New York Herald.
A Feeble Presidential Canvass.

Governor Tilden's menace in his little
speech at Albany, just after his nomina-
ton, that the campaign would be "aggres
sive," seems an addition TO the long cata-
logue of instances in which the vigor Of
the war did not come up to the pomp OF
the manifesto. The canvass has been al
dead halt since the nomination Of the
candidates. Instead of the vigorous ag-
prompt to threaten, he and his party are
acting with the timidity which is the nat
ural consequence Of divided counsels
We do not doubt Mr.. Tilden's disposition
to "move on the works" of the republi-
cans, but he is threatened with FIRE in
the rear from the soft money column of
his own party. His aggressive cam
paign" reminds us of General McClellan's
dilatory strategy in the first year of the
civil war, when the staple announcement
on the bulletin boards of the newspapers
was, "All is quiet on the Potomac" Gov
ernor Tiden dares not publish his letter
of acceptance, lest it should be stultified
by the action of the democratic members
of Congress. He has evinced less than
his usual boldness in quailing before such
an obstacle. II he had come out in a pow
erful letter, without waiting to consult
with Hendricks and without giving time
tor the Hendricks intrigue with Western
members of Congress to ripen, he must
now be master Of the situation. When
he had formally promulgated his views
no section OF the democratic party would
have put itself in opposition to the demo-
cratic candidate; but his appearance OF
vacilation emboldens the bad elements of
the party and makes it more and more
difficult for him to prosecute an "aggres-
sive campaign" Immediately after his
great triumph at St. Louis he should have
taken the imitation bull by the horns by
publishing such manifesto as would have
compelled the ihllalionists to "hide their
diminished heads" His delay and the in
trinity of purpose it discloses give free

by just such measures as this republican admins
tration has seen fit to use.
Shame on such me as S. S. Cox and his North
ern dough faced allies who attempt to make light
of this massacre, and paliate the crimes of the
South SO often manifested after this manner.
Should not their brazen faces hide in shame when
even Lamar, true-born Southerner acknowledges
with humiliation the foulness Of the deed and ad-
mts the necessity Of punishment! What kind of
party is this democratic party to put into pow
err, when such men as Cox, Wood, Randall and
their like are the spokesman
The lesson, then, of this Hamburg Massacre
is, that the spirit of revenge, rapne and murder is
still the controlling spirit at the South; that il
must be met firmly by the power that once defeat
ed it that the republican party is the only one
that can be trusted to execute this power, and
that if that party is defeated at the polls the
policy of the South will be practically restored and
will effectuslly control the democratic party as al
ready shown by the acts and speeches Of its lead

Are the American people ready for such q
change? Are they willing to give back all that
they have gained for the cause Of Liberty Lei

These figures are their own best comment.
They will surprise those who have been listening
to all the stock denuncatons of the adminlstra-
ton. The net proportional loss Of the "good old
times" when the democratic party was IN power,
from eight to twenty times much as during Grants
administration. The net loss of the last demo-
cratic administration inaugurated twenty years
ago, was IS II. The next administration was
publican, and the loss was reduced to 500
clear reduction of $6.40 on every thousand. The
loss in Grants first term Sl.59, less than that
of Lincons or Johnson's. The loss during the
second term was 81 .0l, the lowest on record. The
gross loss" has fallen off equally with the net
loss, it being during Grants second term only
about twenty six cents on the thousand, which is
only about one-eightieth of the total in Van Blu
ren's time, and about one-thrtieth of than in Blu
chanan's. Figures more eloquent than these are
not often produced. A second table gives the loss
on each thousand dollars in the different depart

Tilden's letter OF acceptance which he
has not written has caused considerable
inquiry and speculation in political circles,
not much to the credit of The democratic
candidate for President. Reformers are
not generally timid or slow in coming to
the front with their ideas if they have any.
Say something. Mr.. Tilden. 1t cant make
you appear worse than you DO to keep

scope IN the Hendricks intrigue, and ii is

scope to the Hendricks intrigue, and it is
possible the soft money Congressman may
put the party In such position that Gov
ernor Tilden will be compelled to "speak
with bated breath" He could have tore
closed and shut off this facilitating mud
die in Congress had he taken time by
the forelock." He could have made it
impossible for the soft money democrats
to carry on their intrigue without placing
themselves in direct opposition to the dem
ocratic candidate. The timid, dilatory
course he is pursuing is making his men
ace of an aggressive campaign ridiculous.
If the democratic Samson dallies with the
perfdious Delilah until she cuts off his
locks there will be a long farewell to all
his hopes of ian aggressive campaign
We are beginning to get some informa-
ton as to where Mr.. Tilden's "barrcl of
money" came from. During the years
1867 and 1869 he received $1,000
600 for alleged services from the Erie
Railroad at the hands of Fisk and Gould.
He was also largely en- gagged in Credit
MobiIierism in the West. Concerning the
latter class of transactions the Chicago
Tribune says:
l2 900 900 and SIS 900 900 account of railroad
snbsc, iptons that wee swallowed up by MIR. Ill
denis patent process. Large amounts OF money
have been taken from the people OF Ohio, Indiana
Michigan Wisconsin. Iowa, Allnnesota, hansas'
Nebraska Missouri and other States of the West
Northwest and Southwest in the same manner.
of all this Mr.. Tilden has received his full snare
He was the lawyer who devised the means where
by these frauds were worked out, he counsecd the
active manipuators at every stage OF the opera
tion he acted as the agent for winding and re-
organizing the companies, and he pocketed
large part of the plumber. There Is scarcely
railroad this side of the Allegheny mountains IN
which there was not at least one, and many IN
which there were several, credit mobilier schemes
Manipulated BY Sam Tilden for the proht OF him
self and those associated with him. This is how
he made his millions, and the people of the West
who contributed the money are particularly in'er-
| ested in understanding and remembering II.
The democrats cannot tell until alter
| Congress- adjourns whether their ticket
| will remain Tilden and Hendricks or not.
That Saratoga conference developed an
unpleasantness which may be so far az
erayated by the action of Congress as te
