Republican State Ticket.
TILDEN AS ALABORING MAN.

1t has little the appearance OF clap
trap, when a nabob, a monied aristocrat
a man who never performed days work
in his life, should make speech for the
country, as Tilden did after his nomination
embodying the phrase 1--WE are all laboring
men," The assertion itself is true, fOl
brain laborers are the hardest workers
but Mr.. Tilden did not intend the above
to be so taken. He was seeking to iden
tify himself with the hard handed labor,
ers, whose muscles are as iron, and who
mould the material and solid interests of
the land, an interest that Tilden has no
more sympathy with than the Shah OF
Persia has. AS example, he owns large
interests in Lake Superior iron mines, and
with other stockholders, issued floods of
shin plasters and circulated them all over
that country, in pay for labor, and finally
refused to redeem them in, except at the
companys store, for goods, at three prices,
and many thousand dollars are outstand
ing in Michigan to-day, wholly worthless.
In 1875, one of their companies failed for
half million, over $4,000 of which was
due to hard-working laborers, 1--WE laboring
men," for their wages, and much suffer
ing was the consequence of its non-pay-
ment Several Of the holders
whose sense of Justice revolted at being
party to this suffering voluntarily agreed
to pay out of their private funds, this
sum to the laborers, and sent commit
tee east to get the other stockholders to
agree to it. All bm one Of them did, and
that one was Samuel j. 1ilden His por-
ton would have been $1,000, and though
rolling in wealth, and having had the ben
efts of the labor of these "laboring men,
he utterly and positively refused to give
a cent, and the project fell through in
consequence. And this is the man who
talks about 1--WE laboring men," Under
the charter of the above company the
stock holders were liable for labor, but he
said he was so far away they "could not
raise money enough to come to New York
and conduct lawsuit" Oh what nice
sympathetic friend of the laboring man

John Morrissey is on his ear He has
just discovered that what Republicans
charged at the time of the st. Louis con-
vention is true, that Kelly of the Tamma.
ny ring was only opposing Tilden in order
to gain support of the Morrissey faction,
(they being antagonistic) and that of the
West, rightly judging that Tammany was
a stencil in Western nostrils, and that
Tilden could pass for reformer, if Tam
many made pretence of opposing him,
when Kelly so gracefully yielded and went
over to Tilden's support, most men saw
through the gauzy affair, but Morrissey
chung to his false god til recently, hard
ly daring to trust to his own sense that
told him he had been sold at little game
of thimble-rig, and now John is mad, but
of course he will support SLIPPERY Sam, "
as will all the rest of his class-pugilists,
gamblers, pimps, cut-throats, ETC., that
go to make up the scum of New York.

A terrible and fatal accident occurred
at Portsmouth England, July 18th.
Thirty persons were killed and sixty

1t is enerally believed that 500 Chey-

Agency for the purpose of joining the
hostile Sioux in the north, and in conse.

tention of dispatching the Fifth Cavalry
northward from Fort Laramie. to join
Gen Crook. The troops will be placed
in position to intercept the Cheyennes
and prevent them from joining Sitting
Bull. Every move at present goes to
show that the Indians intend to make a
desperate fight, having been encouraged
by the late victory.

The Knoxville Democrat says:

New York has never once since the
foundation of the government, failed to
give its electoral vote to its own son lex
cept Greeley when a candidate for the
the Presidency. Van Buren, carried it;
Fillmore carried it; Seymour carried it,
when nearly every other State was swept
by the Republicans, and Tilden will carry
it by seventy-fve thousand majority.
AS goes New York so goes the Union
We do not intend she shall 60 back on
her son this year, but you must remember
Nc, that VIM. A. Wheeler is her son,
and he is the man she will cast her vote
for sure. By the way, New York did
not cast her vote for Fillmore when he
was q candidate for President-Maryland
being the only State he carried. Your
remarks about Seymour, and the last line
of your extract above, do not chime, for
the Union most sequally failed to go as
New York did in 1868.

Philadelphia last Tuesday, Dom Pedro
took from his pocket a weD-worn pamph.

Three of the arguments used against
the Hayes and Wheeler ticket by the
Des Moines Herald of Liberty in its last
issue are that all the temperance papers,
all the women suffrage papers, and all the
preachers are for it. 1t don't propose to
have anything to do with ticket that is
supported by the temperance people, the
women and the clergymen.

Well Watched.

A comedy of errors" is generally the
most amusing situation of things that
chance can bring about or genius con-
trive. Many such comedies in real life
have begun in blunders no more funny
than the one here described;
A Williamantic Comm paper tells a
curious story about Norwich clergyman
who supplied country pulpit last Sun
day, and was obliged, on his return home
Monday morning, to travel by stage
coach about three miles to the railway
station.
On the route the driver heard something
rattle in the gentleman's carpet bag,
which sounded to him like pieces of steel
striking together Putting the gentle
mans reserved manner, keen appearance,
and the ominous sounds from the carpet
bag together, the driver concluded that
his passenger was a first class bUglar,-
perhaps a bank burglar,-and after his
arrival at the depot, he hunted up an
officer, and impaired his suspicious to
him.
The officer went to the depot, and there
was the suspected burglar pacing up and
down the platform, waiting for the train.
The officer thought him a suspicious-look-
ing character, and his suspicious were
confirmed by the tenacity with which the
gentleman clung to the carpet-bag, for il
was never out of his hand from the time
he left the stage until the train came.
In a short time the train came along
and the traveller entered and took a seat
The officer, intent on duty, saw a gentle
man on the train with whom he was ac.
quainted, pointed out the suspected indi-
vidual, impaired his suspicious, and
requested his friend to notify the police
in Norwich, if the gentleman stopped
there, so that they might be on theil
guard.
When the train arrived at Norwich, the
clergyman alighted and went up town
shadowed closely by the other man, until
he found a policeman, when, pointing out
the suspected party, he inquired of the
officer if he knew that man.
"Know him Yes. That's one of ouI
ministers,-Rev. Mr.. -, pastor of the
- church

Welcome Christmas Gifts.

The usual practice in choosing Christ
mas gifts is to start out with full porte
monnaie and come home with it empty,
having secured dozen book and print
and curio shops meantime, to afnd
enough pretty things to 60 round" The
gift sent to one friend might have been
offered with equal propriety to hundred
Others. Now everybody (worth remem-
bering at all on Christmas day. has a
fancy or whim or association, which a
trihe will call and gratify. Now that we
have 30 little money, let Us set our brains
to work to remember these whims and
hobbies, and to find the suggestive trides.
and, one word for it, we will startle our
friends with more real pleasure than
if we had sent them the costliest un-
meaning gift. There must be nice dis
elimination, too, in asserting these trihes.
There are certain folks whom we know to
be 3orelyin need Of articles for the ward
robe, and to whom we must therefore
give utterly useless follies, because they
know that we know 1t; and there are
other and better folk in like condition
who will receive a collar OF q pair of
gloves with as hearty and sincere feeling
as though the offering were q strain Of
Christmas music. There is one cousin
whose gift must smell of the shops and
the dollars paid for it, and another who,
if we sent her our worn copy Of George
Herbert, or the little broken vase which
has stood for years on the study table,
would receive them with wet eyes, and
find them fragrant with old memories.

Honesty.

We have somehow learned to make a
difference between these obligations
which we owe to one another as men, and
those which we owe to the Government
and to corporations. These ideas are not a
whit more prevalent among office-holders
and directors than they are among voters
and stockholders. Men are not materi-
ally changed by being clothed with office
and power. The radically honest man Is
Just as honest in Office as be is out of it.
Corrupt men are the offspring of a cor
rupt society. We all need Strengthening
up. The lines of our morality all need
to be drawn tighter. There is not man
who is willing to smuggle, and to see Gus
tom-house officers betray their trust while
he does it; willing to receive the results of
the sharp practice of directors of corpora
tions in which he has an interest; willing
TO receive the patronage Of the Govern
ment in the execution of schemes not
based upon absolute necessity; willing to
take an exorbitant price for a piece of
property sold to the Government or to a
corporation, who is fit to be trusted with
Office. When We have said this, we have
given the explanation of all our public
and corporate corruption, and shown why
it is so difficult to get any great trust
managed honestly. All this official cor
ruption is based on popular corruption
loose ideas of honesty as they are held by
the popular mind and we can hope for
no reform until we are better based as
people in the everlasting principles Of
equity and right-doing. five would have
the stream clear, we must cleanse the
fountain.
