Thomas A. Hendricks, he belongs to
!" the noble army Of martyrs who are
waging war against political abuses.
This, we believe, is the year bS76, and
just eight years ago the almanac marked
the year as 1868; and on the 9th of
October in that year Samuel j, Tilden
wrote his private and strictly confden-
tial circular from the Rooms of the
Democratic State Committee" Tweed
appears as his right hand man, or he
appears as the right hand man of Tweed,
He seeks the information, and Tweed is
to receive it and make good use of it.
After ballot box stufiing had been prac-
ticed all day, the scene winds up with
false counting in the evening. The cir
cular and the circumstances place the
reform candidate in seemingly very
intimate relations with one of the most
infamous frauds that was ever perpetra-
ted against the rights Of the people
Here is an item, not of very olden date,
in the career of this reformer that needs
explanation IN. Y. Independent.

How il This =?

A little more than six months ago,
though not officially known till much
later period, there was black man of
Mississippi of good abilities, intelligent,
and who had minded his own business
and so far educated himself that he was
elected a state senator. He had wife
and family and they had all educated
themselves as far as their circumstances
would permit, adjoining their house with
such things as they could procure, in
Guiding musical instrument. 1t soon
became apparent to the chivalry that
this black man was dangerous man.
He was becoming of Importance politi-
cally. He knew too much. Various
attempts were made to assassinate him.
He avoided them, for we'll he knew that
daily he carried his life in the greatest
peril. At last under the cowardly guise
of friendship he was shot down like a
dog, He did not die instantly. He was
still surrounded by the chivalry. He
asked to be removed to his house. 1t
was refused. He begged that his wife
might be allowed to come to him, and
that was refused. And finally before
life had left his body he asked them if
they would say to the country that he
died like a man
Then it was that the body was carried
to his house and family, and one would
suppose that even assassins would have
retired gorged and satiated. But not so.
The chivalry entered and took full posses
sion of the dead mans house and there or
ganized in the presence of the dead body
and the agonized family a midnight
dance and revel J!
Such is only part of the story of this
terrible tragedy as officially given to the
Senate investigating committee a few
months ago, in the state of Miss. 1t is no
wonder therefore that when such bar
barity comes to the light of day and
civilization that northern demagogues so
terribly dread the "bloody shirt"
1t is not of course to be supposed for
amoment that many northern democrats
will sympathize and apologize for such
bloody and atrocious work, but for some
reason this kind of chivalry all gravi-
tates to the democratic party, and every
one Of. the above assassins is going to
vote for Samuel j. Tilden, the" Reform
err" and it is now for the freemen of
Vermont to decide if they will vote side
by side with them. Will you do it?

TiIden's Income Tax.
The Democratic Congressional Committee
in a Dilemma.

The Democratic Congressional Committee
in a Dilemma.
The following is from the Washington
Of the Boston democrat
icy Herald:
There has been much uneasiness here
for some days among the members of the
Democratic Congressional Committee ov-
er the charge that Gov. Tilden swore
falsely in connection with his income re-
turns. They have been anxiously look
ing for an explanation from New York,
and have been ready to admit the seri-
business of the matter unless it could be
satisfactorily met. The purported ex-
PLANTATION of Governor Tilden's secretary
to the effect that the railroad fees which
were not entered in his income return
for 1862, although received in that year
were really earned in previous years,
was not accepted here by the democrats,
and some of them even questioned the
authenticity of the dispatch from Alba
ny attributing so thin an excuse to the
secretary. But when one of Gov. Til
denis recognized New York organs ar
rived last night with formal editorial
defence based ON the same grounds, ii
brought great trouble into the camp
here, since all are shrewd enough to see
that such line of defence will not an.
swer. The brevity of the charge, the
ease with which all classes of voters
comprehend it, and the confiding nature
of the few sentences of proof which es
tablish it, are the elements of the case
which are causing so much trouble. 1t
is the first charge against Tilden which
has given his followers here real concern
They have remained comparatively un
concerned over his other railroad com.
plications, believing that these cases
were too intricate for the ordinary voter
to understand, but this they regard a:
quite another thing, and as one which
must inevitably damage Tilden inside
the ranks of his own party.

Tweed TO Tilden the "Reformer"

In 1868 the democrats of New York
cast a fraudulent vote of nearly $4,000.
which was followed by the exposure of
1871. Last winter in court it came out
that check for $4,000 was paid during
that campaign by Tweed to Tilden for
which even his private Secretary" has
yet made no explanation. Here is a
copy of the check;

Election Next Tuesday.

The duty of citizens at the ballot box
September 9th, is high, honorable and
responsible. Every voter should candid
ly ask himself the question if he thinks
it safe to commit the government TO the
care of those who so recently tried to
destroy it. Under the sham cry of Re,
form are you ready to place the nation
in the hands of one whose connection
with the greatest and most corrupt ring
of modern times is notorious? Above
all do you feel that it would be safe to
restore the power of the nation to those
in the South whose mode of disposing of
republican voters is the shot gun and the
bulletp Peace? Is it peace you want
Who does not want peace' But do you
want that kind of peace which prevails
when Union men have been shot dead
and lay quietly OH the earth in dumb ST.
lence? The presidential election this
year is test Of the intelligence of the
people of this country for free government
and its preservation. Do you think that
the terrible record of the democratic par
ty, especially of the southern democratic
party, for the past sixteen year, should be
forgotten? Shall we so soon forget the
bloody record of the Kuklux Khan and
the white leaguers made only within
the past six years? Are we not often
even this year reminded of the record
of the patriots of the revolutionp And
that was one hundred years ago. Ben
edict Arnold is sometimes mentioned
even at this late day.
And now shall we forget the record of
the Union soldiers in the war of 1861
And, Heaven save the mark shall we
now so vote as to set aside these Union
soldiers and put the rebel confederate
soldiers in their places as has been done
by the present democratic House Of rep
resentatives
ANSWER NEXT TUESDAY.

How They Do Change /:

We regret that we have not room for
communication this week, written by
gentleman of this village. under the
above head, who has not long resided
here, but who does his whole duty as a
citizen, and who signs himself "not a
party man but voter" There are
others, not party men, who already
see their duty very clearly. Speaking OF
the sensitiveness of the democrats about
their record he says: did the old
tories of the revolution outlive their
record in the short space of eleven years,
and were they deemed suitable persons
to become the executive officers of the
country, whose enemies they had SO re-
Gently been? Did an old Hartford con-
ventionist ever outlive his record? Was
it not thrown with all its damning infa-
my into the face of the old Wing party
by the democratic party for more than
forty years ?"

On Monday night of this week Aug,

was formed a Hayes and Wheeler club.

At the mass meeting at Brattleboro
there was sensation when one of the
speakers alluded to the Coushatta muir
ders. A lady in the audience gave way
to much grief and it was soon ascertained
that she was widow of one of the Cou-
shatta martyrs. And yet if republi-
can alludes to this "record" it is "bloody
shirt" and he has the distinguished hon
or and the pleasure of being called a
"traitor."

In 1864 when the national democratic
convention at Chicago had declared the
war for the Union a failure, there hung
for more than month dark and indie
scribable pail over the whole country,
and so it continued until suddenly the
victories of the Union soldiers in the
Shenandoah Valley electrifedthe people
and brought the JOY and bright sunlight
of day. Now then let the republicans
of Vermont poll their full vote next
Tuesday and make the Green Mountain
state the Shenandoah of 1876.
