&" The Tall Sycamore

This sole orator of the Democracy
in the West spoke in Plymouth en- the
occasion OF the late visit OF the la
mented Blue Jeans" To attempt
to notice all his points" wouldbe a
useless task. for he skipped SO rapidly
from one honeyed flower OF Demo
cratic delectation to another that the
sprighliest imagination faltered in
pursuit. We will content ourselves
with giving some specimens OF the
harangue, for it was not an argument.
Mr.. Voorhees, tried to convey the
impression that the State and National
Democratic platforms were harmoni-
GUS on the finance question, while
the Republican platforms were not
II the honorable gentleman had taken
pains to read the read the report OF
the late Massachusetts Democratic
Convention he would have found
among their resolutions one denounc-
ing the Republican party for its fail
ure to carry out its financial policy OF
an early resumption of specie pay
ments. How does this "consist
with the St Louis platform? There
is no more harmony on the financial
question among the Democrats than
among the Republicans, and we think
we can say not as much, and hence
this assertion was a mere trick of an
artful demagogue. This reckless
manipulation Of facts also dwelt with
strong emphasis on the economy OF
the late House in cutting down ap-
propriat.ons some s3O.OOO,OOO. 1t is
an accepted fact, we think, among in
telligent politicians that this pre-
tended act OF saving the peoples
money was only campaign subter-
fuge-a trick OF most despicable
character. The House OF Represen-
tatives cut down the appropriations
for public buildings s2,500,0OO. These
buildings are partly finished and will
have to be completed next year or
the year after At least ninety-five
per cent. of this reduction, or $3.50
600, represents the labor that would
go into the erecti on of these buildings,
and is just that much taken out OF
the pockets and mouths Of laborine
men. Talk of the economy of the
late Congressl 1t was nothing but
deferring pay day" until after the
election in order to hoodwink the
honest people; and yet this Prince OF
Sophistry will stand up and exclaim:
See Democratic reform and economy
See how we love tax-burdened peo-
pie, and what mighty efforts we have
made to save co their money! This
political chameleon didn't think to
say anything to the dear people about
those bills introduced by the Demo-
cratic House to pay Southern war

ing in the aggregate to the snug little

TY<ER CITY.

TYNER CRY, Sept 10Th, 1876.
Times are not as lively in and
about our vicinity as they have been,
owing to the removal OF some of the
liveliest avocations.
Mrs. DR.. Swyhart has returned
home from visit to her relatives at
Warsaw, Ind.
Miss Ida Harris has gone to Lo-
gansport to visit her relatives.
Mr.. James Tyner and wife are
visiting relatives in town. Mr.. and
Mrs. Tyner were formerly residents
OF this place, but after the complies
ton of the b. & o. II. r., Mr.. Tyner
received the position OF Mail carrier,
whence he removed to Shelby, Ohio,
where he now resides.
There seems to be a great deal
OF sickness at present throughout
the country; as may be inferred from
the daily parade of physicians -
Farmers are mostly done cutting
corn, and are busily engaged in cut
ting and putting up marsh hay.
Mr.. Gate, formerly resident OF
this place, and a great man among
the laboring class, has removed to
North Liberty, thus depriving the
city OF one OF its greatest advantages
in the lumber business.
On the eve of the 7th inst, the
citizens OF Tyner and vicinity had
the pleasure OF listening to an able
address upon the political issues of
the day, delivered by Mr.. VIM. Ken
dali of Plymouth. Thanks to the
worthy gentleman for his compli-
ments. After Mr.. Kendall's speech
the stand was occupied by the Rev.
II. A. Snepp, who not only enthused
his hearers, but showed himself
worthy of the office he aspires to.

attorney We sincerely hope the
young mans efforts will be crowned
with success. b. Il. Wizard.

Tilden's War Record.

The Hon. Emory A. Storrs, OF Chi
cago, made stirring speech at Free
port, ILL.,, on the 18th inst, from
which the following eloquent extract
Is taken. 1t is the best war photo
graph Of Samuel J. Tilden that we
have yet seen, and its reading makes
the loyal blood Jingle to the ends of
our fingers:
Il ask this simple question Of him:
Mr.. Tilden, where were you during
the WARP What were you doing dur
ing the war? 1t Is an important ques-
ton for us to ask. / ask the loyal
men to-day, whose hearts and all
whose sympathies and feelings were
with and are with the great cause,
where was he? Now and then we
have an affidavit from some incon-
spicuous Individual that Samuel j.
Tilden quietly, modestly, unobtru-
sively was, away down at the bottom
OF his little corporation heart, genu-
Inc. all-wool, yard-wide, patriotic
man. / have never found 1t out. I

stealthy. do not believe In loyalty
that Is so shy. / do not believe In an
as great as that was that
made so good man hide the whole
Of his patriotism under so small c
bushel.
take the case home to yourselves.
/ ask every man here-I ask every
woman here-if there was, during the
dreadful period of war, in the neigh
borhood where you live one solitary
about whose position there
was any doubt? Do you know man
so fnconspicuous, so obscure, so little
that had not his position dur
ing the war absolutely and clearly de-
fined? And yet. In the presence OF
this great rebellion, when armies that
millions were making the
whole continent rock beneath their
tread, when the very globe paused
the thunders of that mighty
conflict, when the whole heavens
were redeemed with the flames Of this
great rebellion, this great corporation

party, this head OF New York, this
Chairman OF the Democratic Com

Let US not abate one jot or little OF

white and black, shall alike have alb
