THE RADICAL GAME.
The Independents as Allies Of the En-.
emfes of Good Governments
ThOmas's Part in the Con.
spiraey against De.
mOcraeg.

We find the following In a recent
number of the Cincinnati Times, q paper
filed every day with malice and false
hoods against the south, and which
more than any other is clamorous for
our reconstruction according to Bout
Wells plan. 1t reveals the conspiracy
of the Independents and r ideals, and
makes that clear which hitherto had
been ob cure:
RALsToN, WEAKLEY COUNTY, TENN,
September, 1876. I
To the Editor of the Cincinnati Times:
The Republican party is fully organized in
Tennessee, and we intend to do our best 10 re-
by Ex- Governor Henry S. Foote, of Nash
vile, and Major A. b. Petttbone, of East Zen
nessee, with the full comp ement OF district
electors, is the abest electoral ticket the Re.
publicans ever had in the State. This ticket,
assisted by such men as Hon. Emerson Eth
er1dge, John 3. Reid, and host of others good
and true, inspires us with confidence not
before felt IN Tennessee. Colonel Dorsey b.
Thomas, at one time chairman of the Demo-
cratic eX cutive committee of Tennessee, aud
speaker of the State senate, is an 1ndepend-
ent candidate for g )VernOT. he Is ore of the
best stump speakers in the State, and is thor
Democratic party since they have had posses
sion Of the State government. He viii make
the canvass hot for Governor Porter. Before
The election we may look for some rich de-
velopments, which will make some good read
ing matter for Democratic voters 10 study.
General George Nancy, OF Nashville, is also
an II ndependeet candidate 1or governor. If
the Republican party of the whole country
will turn out as one man, and elect Hayes and
wheeler by rousiDg majority, 1t Will have
the good eff ct Of forever settling the fate Of
the Democratic party as a national organ "a

Garfeld's nomination in the face OF
his glsring venality is an insult to the
moral sentiment Of Ohio without regard
to party. He was eau Int with the credit
mobilier scrip 10 his pocket, which was
the price paid for his votes on that and
other jobbery. And it was proved before
the Investigation, not only by Oakes
Ames's testim 1ny and diaries, hut by
his own handW ritipg, that he committed
deliberate perjury. He swore positively
that he had no interest in the credit mo-
bilier and that the bribe which he re.
csived was only loan. Yet while the
investigation YVES actually going on he
wen. ven. W W vzKes Ames aud claimed that
he was entitled to more money than had
been paid to him for his share of the cor
ruption, and made detailed statement
OF the dividends aud cash to establish
his demand. The paper was produced
before the committee, and Oakes Ames
told how it came into his possession.
Garfield, as chairman of the appropria-
iOns, carried through three million five
hundred thousand dollars for the Wash.

Is now diegraced by his presence. 1t is
no wonder that honest men in Ohio,
who followed the Republican standard
while it represented principles ard integ.

thieves az leaders, and turn hopefully to
the banner Of R.form: They see John
Sherman, who entered congress poor,
and hes pursued no profession or busi-

how profitable are the ways of Wash hiDg-
