Poor Terrified Proctor Knott.

Mr. Proctor Knott's friends spend hours
every day at the gentleman's bedside try
ing to coax him to put his head out from
under the quilts. "You'll smother" they
say land besides, what if he is getting
well enough to go around making
speeches. He's away up in Maine and
won't be back here for a month" But
the only response is "a quivering, tremulous

From the Brooklyn Argus dem.
Rebukc ImpOSturc.

1--WE owe an apology to the people of
the State of New York. We assisted to
place Samuel J. Tlden in the position of
Governor of the State. Publication of the
proofs of the New York Ring robberies
was made in July, 1871. Suits We're COM
menceed in 1872. Samuel J. Tilden was
one of the attorneys of the committee to
prosecute the Ring. Before that time he
was unknown outside Of political and rail-
road circles. He seemingly took bold
position--it was certainly cunning one
he attracted attention to himself The
following year, 1872, the financial panic
deranged business and threw unemployed
labor upon the market. Grant had been
laying his foundation for a third term. The
country was ready to repudiate anything
by the name of 1sarismn The next
year, 1874, the feeling of discomfort at the
Administration and hard times led to the
great tidal wave, which commenced on the
Pacific coast in April, and swept ev-
erything before it, down to the November
election in the Granite State. Oregon
changed about twenty per cent. of her
vote, Indiana ten per cent. Ohio eight
cen per cent New York, seven per cent.
and Massachusetts, over thirty per cent.
Anti-Grant, anli-Tweed, anti.hard times
down with corruption, and up with reform,
became the watchword and cry. Tilden
secured the nomination for Governor OF
this State, merely because he had shown q
polite zeal in bringing the New York Ring
10 partial relribulion. The Argus advised
its readers to support Tilden. They did
so. The county gave him but two short
of 1890 majority, while his majority in
the entire State was but 3S,ill.
Tlld,n had pledged himself to help re-
form the State and exhaust its legal and
constabulary authority to put down plum
derers of the State and plunderers OF cit
les. We soon found that instead of send,
ing public robbers to State Prison. Tilden
was inviting them to his dinner table, and
that instead of preparing place for them
in Sing Sing, he was making it comforta.

We were convinced of Tilden's infdel.

Mr. Wheeler the republican candidate Tor ice
President, in response to serenade at ST. Adams
Friday evening made the following remarks:

sentative. was placed in nomination as the re-
publican nominee for Vice President in the ma

honor of my life that the republicans OF these
States deem ne sufficiently grounded IN the New
England faith to be one Of the representatives oil
their ideas in the pending canvass. Applause'l
In the matter of my faith | trust they have made
no mistake. TApplause.l believe in New Eng =
land. | believe in Plymouth Rock, for they are
convertible terms. One of the most gifted of New
England women has said that Plymouth ROCK Is
no quartz. 1t is perfect stone cut out of the
mountain without hands, and hands cannot pre-
vent it from becoming great mountain n'ihs
the whole earth. Every church, every schooi-
house, every town house, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, has Plymouth Rock for its foundation
stone. Wherever freedom aims a musket, OF
raises standard, or sings a song, or makes pro-
test, there is plymouth Rock. Freedom, the
church. the schoolhouse the town house these,
nv friends, form the very cardinal principles OF
the republican party. l have often thought and
often said that the commonwealth of Vermont
composcs and illustrates the complete realization
Of the highest ideal Of a republican form OF gov
eminent. Where else can you find so much gen
eral intelligence the result of your free, popular
system of education; where so much oil hdehty
and economy in the administration OF State aalrs'
where so much respect for the civil rights of each
and all the people, as in the State of Vermont? 1t
is the mission of the republican party to confer
upon all the people of the country, in all the
States and in all the Territories, the inestimable
privileges which You in Vermont enjoy. 1t is a
duty to which, in this Centennial year oil our nation
we ought to address ourselves with renewed az
tenton and fidelity.
l have no purpose here tonight, my friends to
recall the memorable conflict through which this
nation has passed, and which made the American
arms forever illustrious. Bat let us never forget
the obligations resting upon us to secure the re-

another war. Thanks to the eX-Conseder-

things are seen sign of the greater III

people OF Maine is profound, deeper even
than their crowded meetings indicate.
