given, and the speaker argued that we
could resume now far better than
then. The falsity of the democratic
Argument that the party in power was re-
sponsible for the hard times was clearly
brought out. The depression in business,
said the speaker, was owing to over pro-
duction, wild trading, reckless speculation
and extravaganza. The democratic fnan-
cal policy was neither for resumption. or
against II; neither for initiation or against
1t, but for both, or neither according to the
locality in which its policy was discussed
That in New York they had passed laws
for resumption, while in congress they had
rendered IL impossible to resume in New
York or elsewhere. After some further
discussion of the currency question, the
speaker passed TO the second issue, Ere
form" He said that the democrats do not,
cannot arraign the republican party as
whole, but only as individuals, and that
the reform cry meant simply "You step
out and we'll step in" A comparison be-
tween republican administration and demo-
cratic as regards honesty showed Floyd a

molly, UNPUBLISHED democratic thieves,
while Secretary Bristow has filled the

"wise finance of the democrats had in
creased the city debt of New York from
S32 100000 to $132, 600, 900, an increase of
500 900, 600 in six years. In the matter
of reduction of salaries, democratic reform
was sham, as in the city of Brooklyn
they had appointed three judges, where
one formerly presided, and had raised the
salary from So, 800 to Sl1 900. The claim
| of Governor Tilden, that he had reduced
taxation in New York state one-half was
the merest pretence the reduction was
| owing to the paym ent of the state debt
under the administration of Governor Dix
| The effect of a restoration of the demo-
crazy to power would be to pay claims of
the south for damages sustained during the
war, and bills were already prepared to re.
fund the cotton tax of $7S,000,000. With
a democratic administration, these claims
would amount to more than the national
debt. Under democratic rule the present
system of registry laws would be repealed
| This law, SAID the speaker, secured the
| purity of the ballot in our cities. Their
repeal would again throw open the door
for democratic repeating. With review
of the great acts of the republican party,
the speaker closed amid deafening ap-
plause.

During the dark and gloomy days of the
rebellion, when the life of the nation hung,
as it were, on thread, and the loyal mass
cs were gathering, here and there, through
out the country, in order to give cncour-
agemcnt to the government in Its efforts to
suppress the rebellion, the voice of Samuel
]. Tilden was silent. He never actively
participated in Union meeting during all
those days. He never by voice or vote
aided the government, bid the soldier of
the Union "God speed" or cheered the
heart of the widow and orphan of him who
persisted On the field of battle. HIS SYM
psthes were on the other side Of the line.
Will the people of Vermont aid, by voice
or vote, such man in becoming president

Grand Republican Mass Meeting in
Poultney.

On Tuesday evening of this week the re-
publicans of Poultney held grand mass
meeting in the Methodist church, The hall
not being large enough to accommodate all
who desired to hear the distlngu shed
speaker, Hon. L. d. Culver of Brooklyn,
L. l. At7t o'clock the Poultney cornet
band escorted the president of the Hayes
and Wheeler club, and the speaker to the
church. The church was tastefully deco
rated. Around the gallery was circle of
small flags, ending at the corners by the
altar, where large national flags were
caught up in festoons. Above the speaker
was displayed banner bearing the names
of Hayes and Wheeler. The altar was
also decorated by the national colors and
flowers. The exercises Of the evening
were opened with music by the band, fol-
lowed by q song by the Poultney glee club.
This was campaign song, and was appro-
pirate, and rendered in an energetic and
artistic manner. j. b. Beaman then in
troduced the Hon. Il. d. Culver The
speaker opened his address with recital
of the issues of previous campaigns and
said, that, although these issues were de-
clared settled by the democracy, yet, in
1876 the same enemy and the same issues
confront the republican party, that have
characterized the campaigns from 1850 I'M
til to-day. The issues of this canvass are
narrowed by the democrats to the currency
question and reform, but the republicans
while granting these issues, affirm other
and greater ones, among which is the re-
cognition of the rights Of all by all The
speaker then discussed in logical and meth
odlcal manner the currency question, giving
financial history of the nation from 1860
until 1876, showing what gave rise to our
inflated currency, and detailing the meth
DDS adopted tor the resumption of specie
payments in 1870, and the hindIances
thrown in the way by the democrats. The
public debt was then discussed, and the ne
cessity of its payment clearly shown. A
comparison was then Instituted between
the state banks, of democratic origin, and
our national banks organized by Chase
and execrated by democrats. This COM
parison revealed that bill holders, under
democratic rule, lost $l5 900, 900, while un.
der the republican banking system, no bill
holder has lost one penny.
Said the speaker; The democrats in
1869 opposed the issue of greenbacks, on
the grounds of nconstitutionality, and
now, they not only desire further issue,
but wish to pay the national debt in rag
money. which would be great wrong to
all parties creditors of the nation. The
difference between our liabilities and re-
sources at the close of the revolution, and
at the close of the rebellion, was then

TILDEN AS A RAILROAD WRECKER. ;
Letter From James w. Hickok ESQ.,, of
Burlington.
BURLINGTON, VT, Aug. 16. 1876.

BURLINGTON, VT, Aug. 10, 1876.
PETER BUTLER, ESQ, BosToN
My Dear Sri have written this letter
simply Tor the purpose of presenting what
| regard as tine just views of Gov. Tilden's
relations, so far as ! know them, with
bankrupt railroads. You well know that
am republican. have been such since
the formation of that party-slnce 1872 a
liberal republican. On the issues pending
in the present campaign adopt the views
of the Hon. Carl Schurz in his recent let
ter, and intend TO vote in November for
Hayes and Wheeler
One of the correspondents of the New
York Tribune of Aug. II, uses this lang
uage, of Gov. Tilden: "We must lay bare
his true record-call it personal attack if
you please-but above and beyond all, let
the truth be known, though the heavens
ana all political parties fall ia conse-
quence."
In this spirit the New York Times and
other papers attack the railroad record of
Gov. Tllden, charging 'that he has grown
rich out of the spoils of bankrupt roads"
THAT he has levied upon them enormous
and extortonate fees" that he has swim
died and impoverished many small stock
holders Of Galena and Chicago railroad
company by consolidating that road with
bankrupt western road; that he has stolen
$500, 900 from the Terre Haute, Alton .and
81. Louis railroad company" A recent
Boston Journal puts this question: .If a
man who steals 100000 Is to be made
President, how much must man steal to
be sent to the state prison ?"
At a republican meeting held in Bur-
lington on the 10th inst, the Hon. e. w.
Stoughton of New York charged Gov.
Tilden with dishonorable railroad practice
generally during the war. AS reported by
the Free Press on the 18th, he said: "Til-
den in that time continued the practice of
his profession, and they were practices of
a very peculiar kind, such as many repu-
table members of my profession declined
to enter on-wrecking railroads." pro-
cess which Mr.. Stoughtcn described at
some length, "Tilden made himself rch."
To those who know the two men 1t
seems quite In keeping with the self-con-
ceit and arrogance of Mr.. Stoughton that
he should, as he did during his speech, as
sumo for himself higher level of char
acter than Gov. Tilden. ! cannot fancy to
myself Charles O'Connor or VIM. M. Ey-
arts thus pluming themselves. With re-
spect to integrity and delicate sense of
professional honor, Gov. Tilden, in the
judgment of the bar of New York, prob
ably ranks as high, IL not higher, than the

GIVE US A DEMOCRAT"

We wish to call the attention of our lib
eral republican friends, and independent
voters generally, to very suggestive part
of the proceedings of the New York state
democratic convention. The convention
had assembled to nominate candidate for
governor, one upon whom all democrats
could unite, one who should be represent
ativc man of the party, and it was under
stood that Tilden's man should be the can
didaic that Tilden should name the can
didate, and then that the convention should
60 through with the farce OF making it a
nomination. 1t so happened that the en-
tire convention was not in Tilden's brecch-
es pocket, that there were a few indcpend-
ent men, few so.called liberal republicans !;
and one of these, Mr.. Hubbard, nominal
ed William Dorshemer as candidate for
governor. Now, Mr.. Dorsheimer, down
to 1872, had been republican, but, in that
year, went into the Greeley movement,
and, two years later, became the nominee
of the democratic party for lieutenant gov
ernOr. The nomination was made az q
concession to the liberal republicans, and his
subsequent election transferred him bodily
to the democracy.
Since 1874, he has been Tildens right
hand man. When Samuel j. Tilden took
snuff, it was in order for William Dorshei.
mer to sneeze. He went to st. Louis in
| Tllden's interest, and labored with all his
might for Tiden's nomination. TO secure
it, he even assented to the "step back.
"ward" on the financial queotion but as 0
salve to Tilden's conscience "protested'
against the concession contained in the de.
mand for the repeal Of the resumption act
Poor man, he did not understand how
easily Tilden would take water, how CON
clusively he could demonstrate that @
''step backward" was, after all, only @
"steady step toward"-and this, perhaps
may have been his undoing He went into
the convention with Horatio Seymour
certificate of his democracy in his pocket
and this Hibbard, poor fool, nominated

What followed? Let the record answor
1t is as follows: "Mr. Cooper, of New
" York, arose, but was interrupted by
" cries Of Seymour; great confusion pre-
vailed, in which there were cries O.
GIVE us democrat; Seymour 'Sey

all rules of order, in spite of the fact tina
four other candidates were before the con
vention, they got democrat" they nom

democrats. That this Is true cannot be
honestly questioned. We have no desire
or intention of exagerating-it needs no
exagcration to show the shameful trick
played on Rutland republicans by political
tramps. 1t is fact, which cannot be hon
estly questioned or denied, that the so call

by men who weic not republicans, by men
who never voted and never intend TO vote

When the loyal people of the United
States were contributing according to their
means-the wealthy citizen his thousands,
and even the poor widow her mite-for
the preservation OF the Union; when every
dollar was needed for the support of the
army in the field, and the relief of the
soldiers family, or his widow and orphan,
at home; Samuel j. Tilden voluntarily
contributed not one cent to the cause, and,
even, endeavored to cheat the government
out of his income tax. Do the people of
Vermont desire to contribute to the sup
port of such man, and to aid in making
him president of the United States Re-
member, then, that a vote for William Ii.
Ii. Bingham is such support, such aid.

Samuel j. Tilden declared that the war
for the suppression of the rebellion was an
illegal and unconstitutional war; that every
act of the Union army was an act of tres.
pass; and that every Union soldier was
trespasser and liable, as such, at common
law, for all the damages sustained by the
south or any individual rebel. la vote for
William II. II. Bingham is an endorsement
of this monstrous doctrine. A vote for
Horace Fairbanks is declaration that the
government was justified, both by the con-
stitution and laws. and in morals, in sup
pressing the rebellion.

from the charge of being a "rairoad

to see that i. has rather a significant bear

and swindling the government out Of

The republican rational platform de-
clares that the United States is nation,
not mere league. This implies that il has
power to preserve its own existence, to sub
due rebellion, to punish traitors. If the
people of Vermont so believe, they will
vote for Horace Fairbanks; otherwise, for
William II. ii. Bingham.
