ADAMS DECLARES FOR rILDEN.
From the Bosom Herald,


In a brief interview with the Hon.
Charles Francis Adams at his Quincy
home, Immediately after the receipt
of the news of Governor Tilden's
nomination. the veteran statesman
very frankly gave his opinion of the
nomination.
Mr.. Adams expressed his surprise
at the Convention arriving at SO
speedy a decision. That Mr.. Tilden
had secured t-he-uecessary two-thirds
on the second ballot showed his great
strength in his party.
Mr. Tilden sold Mr.. Adams, is a for
midable candidate especially on a
hard-money platform. With Mr.. Til
den and this platform the Democratic
party stands better, morally before
the people than does the Republican
party Hayes is nothing; respectable,
no doubt, but without record as a re
former.
Tilden is in himself a platform
He has made his record. or thet two
said Mr.. Adams, very decidly, / would
infinite prefer to see Nj. Tilden in The
Executive chair. Mr.. Adams further
said that he had feared Tilden's enc
mics would stab him in the back
His foes were jobbers and corrup
men. He will have hidden enemies t.
encounter in the coming campaign
The traditionary Discipline of tn
Democratic party,the party pride ant
inclination will cause all Democrat
to fall into line for Mr.. Tilden.

I NAILED.

One of the men, who, in the Chicago
Democratic Convention il 1864, vot-
ed the war a failure and demanded a
cessation of hostilities, is now a can
didate for the President of the United
States. His name is Samuel j. Til
den.-cinctnnati Gazette.
The following sufficiently answers
the above:
PERRY H. SMITH:
Your telegram has been shown me.
Gov. Tilden was not chairman of the
platform committee of the Chicago
National Convention in 1864; James
Guthrie of Kentucky was. Gov. Til
den opposed in committee that por-
ton of the resolution saying; "After
four years Of failure to preserve the
Union by war; etc. He goti it struck
out, and even refused to agree to the
resolution as amended. 1t was then
irregularly restored. Gov. Tilden at
all stages refused to agree tothe res
olution, and sent a message by me to
Gen. Mcclellan advising him to dis
card it in his letter of acceptance.
Gov. Tilden, moreover made a speech
in the New York delegation against
an armistice, which was briefly re-
ported by me in the New York
World, and is correctly cited by the
Courier Journal. l was personally
present in the New York delegation,
and all the meetings of the commit
tee in the adjoining room.

HAYES,
HAYES is n candidate whose W

Hayes is a candidate whose weak
ness and unimportance are his prin-
cipal recommendations to the Re
publican party. His record is brief
and slight, though he is fifty-four
years old. He was an Ohio lawyer,
served for a time in the army, was
twice sent to Congress, and was
thrice elected Governor of Ohio
beating Bill Allen for the office last
fall. In the army he was a service
able officer; in Congress he was one
tof the obscurest of its members and
in the Governors office he has per-
formed such routine duties as were
required of him in a way that excl
ted no particular comment. His
pane in Congress or elsewhere has
been identified with no policy, or
measure, or action of any kind. He
has no marked powers that have
been brought into play; he has nc
strong points of character; he has
been but a lucky man in politics
When Ex-Governor Noyes nominal
ed him in the Convention, he men
toned as one ofhis most distinguish
ed qualifications that he was a mar
against whom nothing could b.
said. These points of Hayes char
acter and these features of his ca
reer, are interesting enough; bu'
they do not prove him to be a fl
man for President in times whel
recommendations of a stronger anC
! more positive kind are required.
Above all, Hayes is no reformer
HE is not the man to clean out pc
t~litical corruption, to destroy tn
desperate rings which have got hole
of the country, o to do anything t.
obliterate the abomination of Grant
lism. He is a man who, in the Presi
dency, would run the machine in a
easy and unobjectionable a way a
he could; and this is about tn
worst thing that could be said c
any man who desires to become tn
successor of Grant.-N. Y. Sun.

1t is very seldom that lynch law
is put into force in Ohio, and all
must rejoice at the fact. Occasion
ally, however, the Nervousness of the
offence committed, SO exasperates
the community, that they cannot be
restrained from taking the wretch
out of the hands of the officers and
dealing summarily with him. Such
was the case in New Richmond, o.,
ON Saturday. A monster in human
form outraged the persons Of two
young ladies of that place, and af-
forwards murdered n of them.
The other dragged herself home and
tainted in the doorway. Suisse
quently telling her sad story, a
search was made for the perpetrator,
and he was lodged in Jail. In the
evening the citizens broke open the
Jail, took him out and hung him.

THE aLuE-puT AGAIN.

The Republican party in this dis
trict is in a bad state. Last fall
it will be remembered, they had to
patch their Senatorial ticket several
times, before a man could be found
to run. Last week the Congression-
al Convention assembled in Dayton,
and after a ~disgraceful session nom
mated SAMUEL CRAIGHEAD. The
gentlemen was in New York at the
time, and on his return, it is said, a
"little bird whispered in his ear
that Hon. JOHN A. MCMAHON would
probably be his competitor, and Mr..
C. very politely declines son account
of private business" Jess so.
Bring on another patch.

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

The Democracy ofthe Fourth Con-

gention in the city of Dayton, on
Thursday, August 8, 1876,
at 10 o'clock a. m, in Beckel Opera
House, to put in nomination a can
date for Congress. The ratio Of rep
resentation will be one delegate for
every two hundred votes cast for
Governor William Allen at the Oc-
tober election in 1875, and one adj
ditional delegate for the fraction OF
one hundred votes, or over, in each
county; and that the Central Com
mittees of the several counties ap-
portion their respective delegations
among the wards and townships in
their county as they may think
proper
The several counties comprising
said Fourth District will be entitled

The Republicans having defeated
Bristow for President, because he
was too much of reformer to suit
them, Grant now takes cue from the
action of that Convention and forces
Bristow out of his Cabinet. This
ends the attempt to reform the party
within the party. The New York
Custom House ring, and the Cameron
ring of Pennsylvania, were the potent
influences that nominated Mr.. Hayes.
They "placed their votes where they
would do the most good, land they are
not trembling in their boots, for fear
of disturbance from Hayes, should he
be elected.

McCullagh, the editor of the St.
Louis Globe Democrat, (Rep.) has
passed hisjudgement on HAYES. He
said the night before the nomination:
"Hayes is the Micawber candidate,
He is waiting for something to turn
up. AS the nominee of the Conven-
ton he would be strong only in his
weakness. He has nothing to show
for his four years in Congress except
some long flashes of eloquent silence,
and his record as Governor is no
better than that of the average par
doner of conyicts and commissioner
of notaries.. His election would be a
matter o grave doubt. He might car
ry Ohio, but he would be apt to lose
Indiana, and it would take a very big
steam engine to pull him through
New York"

REFORM.

REFORM.
For a few years the Democracy Of
this and adjoining States, have been
making a fight on financial issues.
While we believed and knew that
reform was necessary in the federal
government, We too, knew that some
was wrong, radically wrong,
about the financial affairs. Immedi-
ately after the last Presidential cleo
ton, Ohio took anew and decided
stand on the money question, hop
ing that by the time the campaign
of 1876 came on, their views would
be sufficiently disseminated to make
it a national issue. In u severely
contested battles, other questions
were, to a great extent, laid aside,
and this the more readily, because,
we hoped that the promised reform
within the Republican party would
be brought about. The Ohio doc
trine did spread, neighboring States
the battle, shoulder to should
err with us. But time, usually a long
time, is required to spread a doctrine
over a whole nation. That we
would have been more successful,
we cannot but believe, had the peo-
pie in other sections of the country,
not justly become alarmed at the
corruption of the Republican party.
They came from every part of our
broad land to st. Louis, with the
full determination to nominate some
man, who in himself was the en-
bodiment of reform, and make one
last and earnest appeal to the peo-
pie 60 save the country from the men,
who are using their positions mere
ly to make money. The cause, we,
in Ohio, have advocated, is not lost,
but is bound to be victorious sooner
or later. The only question is, shall
we let it rest a time and obtain an
honest government, or shall we fight
for that alone and let corruption con-
tinue and even increase, as those in
power see they are upheld by the
people. If the latter is the course
we intend to pursue, what will we
gain if eventually victorious. Alb.
solutely nothing. The best fnan-
lcial system thatseyer existed, or was
ever conceived, would be a failure il
left to be carried out by jobbers and
~tricksters. Then let us first cleal
the temple of the money changers
and have our departments in con
dition to enforce asystem when com
pleted.
But, some will ask, is it necessary
to elect a Democrat to effect q re
form. Most assuredly. We car
not what party is in power, Though
we don't believe it could occur unde.
Democratic iule, and we r backed
in our beliefby history when it be
comes as corrupt as the Republican
party is today, a change is absolute
ly necessary for reform. Every Of
fee in the gift of the nation is illec
by an officer who must come and g
at the beck of the Ring at the head
It makes no difference how pure The
man you elect may be, he willnot b.
able to obtain control Of affairs, an,
while he may deprecate, he canno
change the course, but must sit b,
and see it pursued in the same oil
rut.
With a Democrat at the head 0
the government, these men have nj
hold on him, the man they WORKED
for is defeated and they must sub
nit, as a consequence new men viii
fill the offices and thorough chang
will have been effected from ths
highest to the lowest officer.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-07-13

"The Republicans are in dead
earnest about reform" So? Then
they had better vote for Tilden, the
man who is known to be a reformer,
the only one under whose. standard
reform a be even hoped for.

The Democratic ratification meet
ing, in Cincinnati, on Saturday even
ing, was an immense success. The
commodious "Grand Opera House,
was literally packed, notwithstand-

Hoadly, a republican for twenty
years, but formerly a democrat, was
Chairman of the meeting. Speech
es were made by Hon. G.. H. Pendle-
