Reform Refrom Reform That's
the word Consult your dictionary on it
pin it to your sleeve, insert be it on your
banners, cry aloud and spare not, let it
| be the watchWOrd of the canvass, every
body takes it." the TiIden men like it and
are resolved to work for it. 1t Is becOn-
ing as familiar as the word "Centenni-
| al" and will be coupled with it in the
years to come. With Hayes and the
| 79, 999 Office holders whom, if elected, he
wi i "inheriC" from Grant, there can be
no real reform. These plunderers have
! fastened themselves upon the very VitaIs
| Of the GoeYrRment and nothing but the
success of of the Democracy in NCvem-
| Der can shake them of. Hayes stands
| on a platform which cordially cndOr. es
| Grant and his thieves, and the re Is no
avoiding the conclusion that the system
OF robbery as organized under the latter's
administration will be continued under
that of the former.
If Their be any Indifferent Democrats
in Hardeman, let them read the evidence
in the case of Robson, the present
Secretary Of the Navy, and be convin> ed.
L is what may be termed a Touchdown
argument for Tile AM reform. How
it is that candid AMI sensible Republi-
cans cannot see that their leaders and
highest officials have br0u 5ht repTOacl
upon Us as people and dissracsd Us as a
nation. Is entirely beyond my cOmpre-
hersiOn. The little squad OF white Re
pubIicans in Hardelau are not of the
kind to be convinced By reason, numeri-
cally considered, they are not worth
noticing, as in their late conventIO 1t
seemed they Only numbered fire in clud
ing their only new recruit, BarTett, who,
as was predicted by the BULLETEH two
years ago, has been pulled from the IN
dependent horse, which he was then
most ungraoefulIy endeavoring to stride,
by the radical mule to which he had his
tow-Iine attached, and which he knew
would not fail him when the worst came
to the worst, and Barrett could get no
crumbs by duplicIty and deceit. But
pshaw! pshaw his name Is only worth
mentioning as going to show what kidd
of recruits the radicals are drumming up.
| Excuse me, excuse me, thousand
| times excuse me
The Democracy at the county seat
| deserve great credit for inauguraUing
| the campaign by the formation of Til
/ den and Hendricks Club so respectable
/ we'll for the Tilden and Hendricks men
in every district to go and do likewise.
There is great need of thorough organ
ization, for disorganizeTs, sore heads and
| disappointed Office seekers are abroad in
! the land. Thank Heaven, we have few,
if any, of that sort in Hardeman, but
! the Democracy of the 10th Congressional
! District viii expect US to roll up a tre~
! mendOus majority for the nominee to be
named on the 7th of September. Let US
! 20 to work and do it.
! think many of our citizens will be
! present as delegates to the Convention
on the 5th. They will be certain to enjoy
the Observation-Disclosures = on Sa.-
urday evening, as the TiIden bhoys will
no doubt spread them selves to make it
| grand success, Let the pele to be erect
J ed pierce the heavens and the flag at its
apex bear on its graceful folds the proud
names Of Tilden and Hendricks and the
| countersign of the Democratic army,
! Reform.
