Tue Baltimore Gazette compares Mr.. Tilden to
Moses, and is reminded by contemporary that
Moses never reached the promised land.
Democratic Reform means "to the vctors be-
long the spoils," as indicated by Tiden aud Hen
bricks "Reiormer" in Washington recently.
New York Graphic -" wild geese are flying

insidious allusion to the Tden arbitrators -
Chicago Inter-Ocean THE democratic coun-

correspondent of the st. Paul Mimi Pioneer
Press writing from Shakopee, MINI, states that
after careful investigation of facts he is satisfied
that Catholic priest in that city stood at the POLL
all day on election day and inundated members
Of his flock into voting for the democratic nomi-
nee for district judgeship.
The natural love Of a democrat for the negro
bubbles out on all occasions. The Cleveland Plain
Dealer recalls the days when every friend of abo-
liton was met with the whitening conumdrum
"Do You want your dater to marry a niger I"
by this amiable observation: "The democracy
ask for nothing but the right. They demand
fair count and no cheating. If they are beaten
honestly they will yield gracefully. But no two
niggers will be allowed to make a President for
forty millions of people,"
There has been great joy at the Corners, fol-
lowed by an awful revusion and suspense, Nasty
tells us in the Toledo Blade. When the news first
reached there on Wednesday, that Tilden was
elected, the whole population began to get its
"clsms" ready for presentation to Congress. The
whole amount reached $500 900, and it was decid-
ed to sell them TO an agent rather than run the
risk Of having them all eaten away during their
passage through Congress. Nasty proceeds:
"The spekilator footed up the amount and drew up
his pockit-book to pay em off at the rate NV thirty
per cent 1t wuz critike period. Bascom sot
