kasscn Speaks to Bleeding Waldo,

John A. kasson. Congressman from
Iowa, spoke in Haytord Hall on Monday
night. Ike was great Improvement on
the blasphemous and indecent Ingersoll,
as his remarks were generally courteous
in manner and language But he infused
q great deal of Imagination into his
speech, and put forward as gospel truths
statements that had no more foundation
than castles in the air. The Honorable
john assailed the southern people great
deal, rs rutlians and murdercrs-which
if true, went to show that the country
had been at Il good deal Of trouble and
expense to enforce q rather undesirable
partnership. If the result Of the war has
been 10 link us permanently to such a
people, we might better have let the err
ring sisters depart in peace, as Greeley
said. Democratic leaders and the Demo-
cratic party Of the North came in for a
large share of Remuneration But this
chunk ot wisdom, brought all the way
from west of the Mississippi, never ven
tured word Of explanation concerning
the terribly hard times the lack of en-
ployment, and the great reduction of
wages-not 4 syllable concerning the dis
couraging present or the disheartening
future, That's what the Honorable John
was expected to DO, and just what he
failed to do, All the rest OF it was mere
cheap talk. The debate with Hewitt, in
the last hours of Congress, although it
had helped the manners of the speake en-,

Gov. Tilden's Republican Defender.

We call special attention to the letter Of
Il New York correspondent of the Port
land Argus. which will be found in to-
days paper. 1t reviews the history OF the
Tweed ring and its frauds, and of Cover
nor lllden's warfare upon the rogues, and
his final victory over them. And the tes-
timony it gives is of special Importance,
as proving that the more honest Republi-
cans of New York, and those not blinded
by partizan hate, gave Gov Tilden all
credit for honesty and efficiency il crush
ing Tweed, 1t is seen that the New York
Times, the organ of the Republicans, was
loud in its praise of Tilden his fearl, IS
ness, honesty and ability. 1t even went
the length of predicting that he would be
Democratic candidate for President, and
be General Grants successor. unless great
Ell wisdom prevailed in the Republican
party.
What better endorsement could our can
didate possibly have than the testimony
thus extorted from Il political opponent

trauded and outraged people. sought in
their extremity for Il champion and de-
liverer, and found him in Samuel j. Til

politicians how the undeniable records

cuse, and will not down at their bidding .
Now this same New York Times is ac
cusing Tilden Of being dishonest and cor
rupt. One thing is certain-it lied then or
it lies now Two years ago it had no mo-
tive for assailing Tilden, while it has now
that he is the Democratic candidate The
conclusion is therefore irresistible that it
is now classifying.
