Achievements Of the Lightning Express.
FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN IN 80 HOUR.
WHAT IT TEACHES.--OUR CENTEN
NAL YEAR.

The accomplishment of the extra
ordinary run from New York to
San Francisco in so hours, and al
most one-third of the entire distance
over the TT. Wayne q Pennsylvania
Railway. was most fitting fulfill
ment of the promises made by the
management of this great line, that
in the One Hundredth year of our
existence as nation, q Railway,
for the completeness of its structure
the perfection of its equipments, the
most exact eXpedients for speed, all
modern improvements for comfort
and ingenious combinations for salty
on the face of the globe, should be
the Great Ft. Wayne & Pennsylvania
Road. How well, truly and faith
fully has that promise been kept,
may be judged by the crownlng tri-
umph in the great race against time
of the Jarrett and Palmer special
San Francisco Train, which ran from
New York to Chicago in less than II
hours-a distance of 9l2 miles. 444
miles between New York and Pitts
burg, was run by one locomotive, AMI
scHhom q sa,qle stop-a feat entirely
without precedent in the annals of
railway history, and teaches us that
nothing is impossible on the Great
TT. Wayne d Pennsylvania Railroad,
and that it has outstripped the pro-
gressive Railway rivals, not only Of
America, but the Old World. For
eign newspaper correspondents, WIS.,
iting our Centennial, overlook the
great Exposition, and its world of
wonders, and fill their first home
ward-bound letters with the advanc-
ed ideas of tn IT. Wayne & Pennsyl-
vania Railway system, and invaria-
bly and unhesi' ati, ely pronounce it
the model railway of the world, and
Americas fitting representative of
rational engineering, shrewd official
observations, and the early adoption
of all ideas advancing the interests
and comforts of its patrons. Pull
mans New Palace Sleeping, Draw
ing Room and Hotel Cars are run
upon all trains, and the line being
many miles the shortest from Chica-
go to New York. Philadelphia, Bal
timore, and Washington, the advan-
tage of low fares are in its favor. 1t
must be borne in mind that the TT.
Wayne q Pennsylvania run direct
to all the above cities, and into the
Centennial grounds. Low fare tick
cts may be purchased at the Gener-
al Office, 6j Clark St, Chicago, or

Cheap Buncombo.

After the Democratic platform had
been adopted some keensighted wire :
puller discovered that not a plank
had been devoted to the soldiers and
sailors. This was an oversight, so
the chairman of the Committee on
Resolutions, Mr.. Dorsheimer, got off
the following bit of buncombe,
Mr.. Discrimination committee
have also had referred 30 them and
recommend the adoption of the fol.
lowing resolution:
ReS0lued, That the soldiers and
sailors of the Republic, and the
widows and orphans of those who
have fallen in battle, have just claim
upon the protection and gratitude
of their fellow-citizens
AS this resolution is rather indef.
mite, not mentioning on which side
the soldier fell, it met with general
support. If the time should ever
come when the heirs of ex Confed>
crates should apply for pension,
Democracy can point with pride at
this resolution as showing its early
regard for the boys in grey. 1t is
possible that Union soldiers were re
fcrred to, but this construction woul d
hardly agree with the Democratic
practice of the House of Representa-
tives, where wounded Union soldiers
were discharged to make room for
those who had served in the Confed
crate army. With such treatment
before them it is hardly possible that
this piece of buncombe will capture q
single vote in the loyal States.

A Bad Look for Tilden,

The Brooklyn Argus the leading
Democratic paper OF that city bolts
the nomination of Mr. Tilden and
speaks its mind with freedom that
is very marked. Coming from his
own State, and from ono of the fore
most Democratic papers of the
country the following certainly docs
not speak we'll for the so-oallei Re-
former. The Argus says.
Where Gov Tilden is not known his word
is credited; where he is known public senti-
ment is settled pretty nearly one way. He
has lost the confidence of reformers, and has
been brought forward by as bad set of men
as ever undertook to bride sheriff or knock
down a turnkey. The great tidal wave of 1874
which swept Democratic governor into pow
er in in the abolition State of Massachusetts
by change of thirty per cent, also made Mr..
Tilden Governor of New York by $4,000 ma
iority on total vote of 794 900, or majority
of less than five per cent His ticket lost 81,
900 of this majority in one year. The city OF
BROOKLYN, which holds one-tenth of the vote
of the State gave to Mr.. Tildcn more than
one third GA his majority. The local ticket of
his delegates to st. Louis was defeated in this
city the next fall. majority of $4,000 was
wiped out, and the Republicans elected mayor,
sheriff and the boards Of aldermen and SUPER
visors. If there ever was a machine nominal
ton for President of the United States it is
the present one. The texts for antagonizin g
Mr.. Tilden will be: personal insincerity to
pledges of reform, inconsistency on the money
question, an unsatisfactory railroad record,
and his utilization with corrupt ring men.
None of these are very hopeful texts upon
which to bid for Republican votes, which alone
can elect any candidate.

Democratic Reasonings,

The nation is in need of reform
therefore the nation is III need of De-
mocracy.
TIE nation is burdencd with a
heavy debt therefore it should be
saddled with Democracy.
The nation is suffering from hard
times therefore it should accept De-
mocracy.
The nation ought to have better
currency therefore it ought to have
Democracy.
Everybody should have all the
money that is wanted !; therefore
everybody should support Democ-
racy.
Every passing ill has its anti.
dote, and this antidotc is Democracy.
From black spot in the civil service
to a hole in a mans hat the only
remedy lies in dose of Democracy.
We may suffer few ills as people,
but good men will pray that to those
may not be added tour years of De-
mocracy. The West may have its
grasshoppers, the East hard times,
the South its Ku-Klux, but of all
these combined in one plague could
not equal the evil effects of single
term of Democracy. The Lord spare
the land this severe affection !!

1t is perfectly obvious that the
plan was to count votes enough in
New York city to make up the
necessary majority for Seymour and
Hoffman, and it was SUGGEST III, too.
Although defeated by decisive ma
jority in the State, more than 10000
votes were added to the Democratic
side, and tho State vas given to the
Democracy. Hoffman was elected
by it, but Seymour was not. And
yet the organizer of these villAinies

the Far West, which left the mouth of
tho Big Horn at IL O'Clock in the
morning on Monday, arriving here,
travelling 900 miles by steamer in
less than SO hours. The Indians lost
heavily in the battle. When Terry
reached their village the camp was
strewn with robes gaudily painted,
with finely dressed hides and interest
ing or valuable Indian trinkets. In o
burial tent they left nine of their
chiefs, whose spirits had flown TO the
happy hunting grounds, arrayed most
gorgeously. In the ravines the dead
was abandoned by the Indians, evil
IDENTIFY in their solicitude for the
wounded. Here was found the Grow
scout who survived the battle by
hiding in ravine. lie believed their
loss to have been greater than the
loss OF the whites, for in tho battle
they were so much more numerous
and were the assaulting party after
the first dash Col. Reno and his
officers agree with this estimate.
The village numbered 1900 lodges,
and many willow tepees had been
added within a few days. 1t is be
lieved by those who fought that the
warriors must have numbered 1000.
Gen. Terry feels deeply the loss, and
feels the more keenly as Gen. Custer
was directed to find and feel of the
Indians but not to fight them unless
Gen. Terry arrived with the infantry
and with Gibbons column. He had
arranged to reach the mouth of the
Little Horn on the evening of June
90, when Custer was to communicate
with him and be governed by his dl-
reotions in the fight to follow. Gus
ter attacked on the 25th, and after
ono hours fighting no man of those
who fought so CALAMITY under him
was left to tell the story. Gen. Terry
has submitted, through Col. Smith,
his plan of campaign to Gen. Sheri-
dan, and the action TO be taken will
depend upon the answer. Meanwhile
Terry awaits supplies of provisions
and clothing, to which his command
is nearly destitute. The names of all
the officers killed or wounded are
given above. The casualties foot up
26l killed and so wounded. Thirty
eight of the wounded were brought
to Fort Lincoln, and the remainder
excepting the three that died, were
cared for in the field. Charley Rey-
nolds was also killed. Reynolds,
with Kellogg, De Wolf, Reed, Bos-
ton Custer, and Lord were the only
citizens killed.

Tilden's friends clam that he
carried the State in 1874 by $4,000
majority. His vote was 100000
against $4,000, which gives him q
majority of $4,000 only. Last year a
majority of 1850 is claimed for his
ticket Ills vote was 10000 against
$4,000, which gives him some 1000
majority. 1t is well to state the
figures accurately, as they take down
the lofty pretension of Governor
TIlden's popularity, and show that he
has fallen far short of his claims to
public confidence. lie will find that
a revolution has taken place since ii
was seen that he wore only the mask
of reform, aud that New York is good
Tor $4,000 against him, of which
Kings county will furnish 10000.

General Stoadman, of Toledo,
Ohio, is sort of wheel-horsc demo-
crat. lie was interviewed at st.
Louis before the nomination of
Tilden, and said: Under no cir.
cumstances that could be imagined
would we accept Tilden. If Tilden
should receive the nomination, Hayes
would beat him in Ohio by 10000 to
$4,000 majority, aud in Indiana he
would be beaten by from 10000 to
$4,000 If any other man that has
been named should be nominated on
o platform declaring in favor of an
immediate repeal of the resumption
act we can carry Ohio by $4,000
majority. We would not even accept
Tilden on platform with that plank
in it, because the man and the plat
form would neutralize each other.
