Governor Tilden's Canal Record.

To the charges that Tilden was
hand-in-glove with Tweed, Jay
Gould, Cakes hmes, and others of
that stamp, and made his fortune by
devising ways and means of fraud
without breaking the latter of any
law, the usual answer is that what
ever ho may have done as a private
citizon and the Chairman of the New
York State Democ attic Central Com
mittee, his record as a Governor is
good enough to make amends for all
proVi0us sins. When pressed for
particulars, wo are referred To his
canal record. La no other respect
has there been so much as the show
ing of reform. What, then, is his
record in this particular? The New
York Times sums it up as follows,
beginning with his Inauguration and
coming down to date:

GEN. FUTILE, of Iowa, says that be
does not pronounce against the Dem
ocratic ticket because of the suppos-
ed attitude of tho Democracy on the
currency or the tariff question. He
abandons the Democracy because 1t
has abandoned itself TO the old rebels,
and because he knows the nation
would be in peril in its hands.

THURLow WEED does not think
Tilden would make good President
even if he could be elected, as he
could only be by the union of the
Democracy with rebellion-a union
which if successful, would throw the
Government into the hands of those
who attempted to destroy the
country.

GENERAL Crook and his command
in the Indian country have at last
been heard from, and their safety
assured. General Crook is prepar-
ing to cooperate with General
Terry to strike the hostile Sioux
hard. 1t is reported that 800 Chey-
ennes are on the move to join the
latter. General MERIT with the
Fifth Cavalry, has moved from Fort

The Times explains the first of the
foregoing items by saying thst I" it
can not be said that these suits
" were commenced, as one of these
{: three was the old suit commenced
" by Attorney General Barlow, and
=" finally abandoned by him as hope
F." less. This is tho one which the
court dismissed"
1t is not strange that Blanton
Duncan, although Democrat, should
say, as he did in letter to the edit
or of Democratic paper in Indiana,
" the fraud and hypocrisy of the Til
Z" den ticket needs only exposure to
+" drive from it all honest me1." The
most monstrous fraud of all is the
claim that the head of the ticket is a
reformer.
The foregoing summary, with the
details in support OF it, were publish
cd several days ago. We have care
fully watched the columns of our
Democratic exchanges to soc what
answer, if any, they would mako to
this exhibit. If it were Campaign
lie" or inaccurate in any particular,
Tilden's hackers would have rushed
to his defense. And not a peep has
been heard. They hope that silence
on their part will breed indifference
on the part of the public. They are
mistaken. The people can not be
deceived by any such trick. They
know perfectly well that if the
charges made against Tilden are
false, they will be refuted. The
truth is that his record is so very
bad that it is utterly lndefensible,
and even his best acts are feeble and
abortive. The canal ring has not
been assisted at any time, so far as
we know, by Samuel J. Tilden. That
is the most that can be said in his
favor. If it bad not been for Covers
nor Dix it would now be in full teath-
err. Tilden deserves some credit for
not undoing what his immediate pre-
decessor had done. That is all. But
because man cannot be condemned
in every point is certainly no reason
why he should be set down as trust-
worthy. A thief is no l9ss a thief
because he never stole every thing he
could get hold of.

The Convention.

The District Convention yesterday was
composed of men thoroughly in earnest and
having intense feeling for their favorites. The
claims of section more than all else tended to
embitter the contest. The result naturally
caused feelings of deep disappointment to
some Republicans as a different result would
have done to others. 1t is quite natural that
this should find expression in strong words.
But no one who knows how steadfast these
men have been in the support of Re-
publicanism the past twenty years and how
materially they have aided in securing its
brilliant victories, can do them the injustice
to disbelieve in their fealty to the Republican
party.
1t is not necessary at this time that we
should speak of the nominee of the Conven-
ton. The friends of Mr.. Reed who have
rallied to his support believe that he has a
special adaptation for the position for which
he is named. No man in the Convention
opposed Mr.. Reed more strenuously than did
Col. Burbank of Saco, yet that gentleman
took occasion to declare that he had known
Thomas B. Reed for twenty years and he
could cheerfully bear testimony 10 his high
character, his superior abilities and eminent
fitness for the position.
Mr.. Reed goes to the Republicans of the
District an unpledsed man. He has not
made promise to any man and has declined
to allow any one to hold out any inducement
of political preferment as reward for
services rendered him.

The st. Louis Platform.

Manton Marble is an expert platform car
penter, and the piece of work he has done to
the acceptance of the St. Louis convention is
handsome though rather cumbrous speci-
men of political furniture. There is much
more putty and varnish about it than good
solid work it is true, but that is the fault of
the mean material and not of the carpen-
ter.
Those who read for enlightenment and in
struction will object to the weaIlsome verbo
sity of the document which the Democracy
have put forth as declaration of principles; !;
but an attempt to say nothing well, necessi-
tates the employment of many words. The
platform trainers acted in the spirit of Tally
rand's famous maxim that the use of language
is to conceal thought, and they reasoned that
the more language they employed the more eff
fectual the concealment would be. The decla-
ration is made up of glittering generalities,
1.-THE glitter is of brass) of certain principles
of reform which no one disputes and which
the Republican party has made actualities,
and of several mendacious statements. The
preamble is in the main constituted of estab-
lished truths which are as generally accepted
in this country as is the theory of gravita-
tion, and its only noticeable feature is the
declaration against sumptuary laws. The
divine right of man to get drunk when he
pleases is affirmed, and the right of another
man to sell him liquor is defended-for that
is what the clause means, Free trade is de.
manded; but the demand comes with bad
grace from party which four years ago
chose for its standard-bearer the leading
apostle and lifelong defender of protection,
and whose leader in the House is of the
Pennsylvania school of political economy.
In the face of persistent opposition to re-
sumption by the Democracy the platform de-
nounces failure to make good the promise of
the legal tender notes. 1t demands the res
toration of public credit, credit which has
only been weakened by the constant men
aces of the Democratic party. The country
is asked to retrace the only step which it has
taken toward resumption, and contraction
of our paper currency, wthou. which
resumption is well-nigh impossible, Is
denounced. In face of prohigate expendi-
ture in every S tate and city which the De-
mocracy control retrenchment in public ex-
penses is besought. Forgetful that the first
gift OF public lands to railroads was made by
the Democratic party through the instrument
tality of Stephen A. Douglas, land subsidies
are unsparingly denounced. The old Demo-
cratic hatred of the Negro is transferred to
the Mongolian, and government is asked to
shut our ports against every Chinaman.
Thus this country is to be no longer refuge
for the oppressed of all nations. The ''liber-
ty-loving German" is patted on the back, and
the liberty-loving IIishman is dismissed in
contemptuous silence. But both German
and Irishman know that they would be un-
sparingly denounced were that denunciation
necessary to Democratic success. In face Of
the shameful appointments made by the
Democratic House, civil service reform ID
ambiguously endorsed. The sting of the

VEGETINE
Will Cleanse ScrOfuIa from the
System.
HONEST OPINION.

MIR. Fl, R. STEVENS
DEAR SIR-This is to show that my son was taken
sick in January, 1864, with Scrofua, which came out
in large sores and ulcers his leg and hip His leg
was swelled more than twice its natural size. He
had several doctors of high standing in their profess
sion-two from Boston and three from CharlestOwn-
without getting bit better. He was obliged to lie
wherever he was placed, for he had no use of his
limbs whatever. When we had given up all hopes of
his living were told to try VEG GETINI, the great
blood remedy; and he had taken it but short time
before we could see great change The sores so
bad that we had to change the cloths four or five
times day. Still, he was getting better; for he
could move his limbs and help himself little. He
able to sit up in bed, and, by constant use
of VEGETINE, it has cured him. He has lame
leg, which he will probably have for life but we all
honestly believe if we had used VEGETINE before
we had bothered with those doctors, it would have
saved the of his leg, and restored it to natural
health hope all those troubled with Scrofula will
read this testimony of me and my son, who is now
well and able to speak for himself.
CATHERINE MAHONEY,
DANIEL MAHONEY,

The above plain but honest statement conclusively
shows the quick and thorough cleansing effects of the
VEGETINE in Scrofula.
VEGETINE is acknowledged by all classes of people
to be the best and most reliable blood purifier in the
world.
Vegetine is Sold by all Druggists.
