AFTER THE BATTLE-WAs Mr.. TILDEN
IN BAD COMPANY AGAIN?
The election of 1871, as is well known,
resulted in the overthrow of a majority of
the Ring candidates. From the Times of
November 8, 1871, the following editorial
comments are gathered:
1.-The significance of our success on
Tuesday should not be misunderstood by
the regular professional politician. nor
should its honors be Incorporated.
Let no one presumptu0usly claim it as
|
great body of the people, irrespective OF
party distinction. The honest citizens
suddenly took the management OF their
own business into their own hands. =
But it was not, we repeat, the work OF
any one party-it required the union OF
honest men Of both parties. And that,
warm thanks 20 the intelligence, energy
and courage of prominent merchants,
l., i IL. oH both
) cal parties, was gloriously successful.
Among individuals, however deser-
wing others are of commendation, it vii

WILLIAM F. HAvEMEYER, CHARLES o..
CONOR and SAMUEL j. TnDEN large

speaks of him as follows:

PATRIOTIC SoSGs.-While publishing so much
patriotic Centennial matter, one of our subscrib-
ers has requested that We re-publisb several
songs written during the rebellion, which struck
his ear as possessing merit. We this week COM
ply with his request, and agree with his taste.
The first is Julia Ward How's grand "Battle
Hymn of the Republic" which is destined to live
as long as history. "On the Shores of Tennes-
see," describes the feelings of an old Revolution
ary soldier, as he sits on the banks of the
river, with his old slave, watching for the Stars
and Stripes, that have been banished so long
The third is William d. Gallagher's "Grandpa
Nathan" describing the feelings aud sentiments
of an old Kentucky soldier, at the breaking out
of the war, when q camp of soldiers was forming
in his neighborhood. They are all good We
published them during the war, but many of our
readers have never seen them.
The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1876-09-07

II The checklist scheme yet attempted by
Atchsou, is the effort to prevail upon the
Democratic Convention not to nominate q can
didate for Congress, but to give the field to
Guthrie. Atchison will find that she is pretty
light weight, when few of her disappointed
politicians think that they can use an entire
party in the Congressional District as machine
for their benefit. But the truth is, if the Demo-
Gratis make no nomination, it will aid Phillips
more than Guthrie. A large majority of the
Democrats of the District are Greenback men, as
is Col. Phillips, and would support him in pref
ereuce to any other Republican. So that Col.
Phillips has the "dead wood" on being elected,
no matter what the Democrats and bolters may
do.
The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1876-09-07

BASE CUR.-Clarke Irvine has a long COM
muncation in the last issue of the Democratic
paper at Oregon, good portion of which is de-
voted to ourself. The hardest thing he says of
us is, that We used TO publish his eommunica-
tions. But he doesn't hurt much. A man who
has confessed guilty to robbing widows and or
phans and crippled soldiers, and to avoiding the
payment of his honest debts by pleading the
statute of limitations, is about as low down as
he can get. He boasts that he is dirty dog,
and tries to shake the dirt off on all with whom
he comes in contact. Poor, dirty dog He is
too mean to kick
