HENDRICKS ON THLDEN.

Gov. Hendricks in his recent speech at
Shelbyville, Indiana, said of Gov. Tilden:
GAS Governor of the State succeeding
Gov. Dix, he, Tilden, introduced notable
reforms, and the taxes of New York have
fallen from S16,000,000 to $4,000, 900
No other citizen can bring such evidence Of
his ability and zeal to accomplish what the
people so much desire That fact gave him
the nomination, and conviction of that
fact on the part Of the people will elect
him President"
So says Gov. Hendricks in pleading Gov.
Tilden's cause, and his own as well. But
what are the facts with regard to the taxes ?
In 1869 the county debt was over S25,-
100000. In four years Of Democratic rule
under Hoffman, there were only S5,500,-
600 of this debt paid off. But in the four
following years under the Republican ad-
ministration of Gov Dix, there were Sl9,-
800, 900 paid off, which left less than a
million dollars to be paid. So it will be
seen that the taxes in New York were re-
duced by the Republican administration
under Gov. Dix, by paying off the debt
But Gov Hendrick's says that the taxes
were reduced by Gov. Tilden's introducing
"notable reforms" Now, Gov. Hendricks
knew better than this. Why did not the
Governor tell the truth Why, because ii
don't serve his purpose. He affects to de-
spise lying. Why don't he set an example
of truth telling? The people will not be
deceived. They know who paid off the
county debt and thereby reduced the taxes
and they will not commit the folly of max
ing Gov Tilden President, for doing what
they know he did not
What has Mr. Tilden done as a reformer
After the evidence of Tweed's rascality was
produced by the New York Times and the
Republican party in general, and it became
certain that Tweed was going to be brought
to justice, Tilden fell in and helped to SEND
his old political confederate and friend t.
prison. What next? ? He then took hanC
in prosecuting the Canal Ring? Three
suits were brought, one conviction obtained
one dismissed, and one is pending. Nc
money was obtained from the offending par
ties, but over $4,000 was expended il
trying the cases. Be it remembered tina
these offending rascals were his old politi
cal friends. So his reforming efforts hay,
been confined to his own party, and been
source of expense and no profit.
Now what has the Republican party done
towards reform? The party indicted III
Democratic and Republican whiskey thieves
of whom 133 either plead guilty or wer,
convicted. The whiskey rings were broker
up, and property seized, assessments due ol
crooked whiskey, &c, amounting to owe
1 $2,000,000, and about 100000 of thi
sum has already been turned into mone
and paid into the US. Treasury. Such
Republican Reform.

Bsg~ In our view of justice we think Mon
roe should have had the Congressman this
time and in case the conferees can be
brought to agree with US, or it may be neces-
sary to prevent strife by agreeing upon new
man as a compromise, we would respectfully
suggest that the Democracy would greatly
honor itself by falling back on our distinguish
ed friend and fellow citizen AMANDUs ORE
vUsGREENwALD for the position. He is our
standing candidate, and the permanent sub
ject of our recommendation for any position
the Democracy may have to bestow. We
have supported him for promotion earnestly
for many years, and have only been dilatory
in bringing him forward this fall, because
while attending to the multiplicity Of matters
which have engaged our attention we have
forgotten our duty towards him. Let the
welkin ring for GREENWALD for Congress, by
all means.

HAVE N0U HEARD FROM
VERMONT

The returns from Vermont although not
full, enough is now known to insure a lie
publican majority of 10000 in that State
The Republicans are jubilant, as the gains
far exceed their expectations.
In the corrected figures of one hundred
and twelve towns, the Republican candi-
date received 27,7O2, to the Democrats
14,499 Throughout the State $50 far the
Republican gain has been over 1000, with
the prospect of its being increased when
full returns are received. Indeed, it is now
considered that the Republicans have a
strong probability of an increase of 5000
ever their majority of 1874.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1876-09-07

R9~ General Harrison, the Republican
nominee for Governor of Indiana, is said tc
be adored by his old fellow soldiers, who have
often known him to dismount his horse and
place some footsore or sick man in the saddle,
and trudge along in the mud carrying some
tired fellows musket or knap-sack. Genera
Harrison has a level head on his shoulders and
heart in the right place, and what true
patriot will not rejoice at his success in his
gubernatorial control? Many political judges
think his success a moral certainty; and il
he is successful, Gov. Hayes will have g
gentle walk over the field to the White
House.

6eg-It is with no slight feeling of gratifca-
ton that we feel called upon to announce that
the people hereabouts are drawing into the
support of Hayes and Wheeler Pure men,
whose lives are without stain, and whose
acts have always been on the side of the
country, there is an attraction about them
which honest Democrats cannot resist, and
they are consequently one by one falling into
the Republican line. They see nothing tc
admire in the records of Tilden and Hend
ricks, and nothing in the deeds of Democracy
to advance their election which will at al
bear examination in the light of honesty anc
truth. And as the future promises still fur
ther revelations for their condemnation, i
will not be surprising if here in Monroe th,
vote for Hayes and Wheeler in Novembe
affects Democracy as though thunder boil
had struck them Push On the columr
Republicans, tie f4ht opens brayely.

RS We presume that Tilden is not the
only man who swore to false income returns
but yet he is the only one of his class that
is candidate for president
Just think of it. What a record for a
professed reformer? But then this don't
amount to much, for nearly all his leading
Southern Democratic followers are peUured
patriots too. They swore to support the
Constitution, but tried to destroy it, while
Mr.. Tilden swore that he had made a full
and complete return of his income for 1862
but it turned out to be false oath. What
man with an eye to consistency will say thai
he is not fitting leader of perjurers?
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1876-09-07

Bsgn 1t has been telegraphed all over the
land that Monroe and Pike county Demo
cratic Congressional Conferees had been in-
structed for that jolly son of JEFF. Davis
Democracy, Major Bob Klotz, of Carbon
county. This is not the fact. The conferees,
Messrs. Marsh, Barry and Case refused to
be instructed, and were consequently set upon
the market as open to conviction and conver-
sion. According to the Sunday Morning
Free Press, Frank Beemish's organ, they have
been seen and put through both processes
and are now thoroughly for Collins, the
candidate of the Luzerne county "Molie
Maguires, first, last and all the time. 1t
was said that the arguments which secured
the Monroe county conferees for Collins two
years ago, though not hefty were both bulky
and crisp, whether the same kind of argu
ments produced Kotz's disappointment this
year has not as yet been revealed. 1t is GER
tain that the Major went home impressed
with the idea that he had Monroe and Pike
snug in his breeches pocket, but according tc
the Free Press, and subsequent events he
must have been mistaken. BY the way
where was ''our distinguished neighbor' S
influence, that Capt. Charley Brockway re
ceived no recognition from the Monroe
Democracy.
