Henry to the Reform" fold. Henry
is and has always been an out and out

was used as candidate in the Demo-

and against his wishes. Reform love

known Mr., M. for the thirty years he
has been a resident of Wood county
can attest his excellence as an honest
and capable official The recent f.
nancial disaster which has befallen Mr..
Mosher, in which his integrity did not
allow him to retain even his home
stead, appeals to the sympathies of
our people, and his action in connec-
ton Herewith is an Garnet of the strict
honesty which will characterize his
term if elected. We have no charge
to bring against the present incumbent,
Mr.. Dutruit, for whom we have the
highest esteem as citizen and an Off
cial, but as he has had the position
for thirteen or fourteen years, and as
the no third term theory has been
pet hobby with our political friends
we are inclined to believe that neither
himself nor his friends will very siren
uously advocate his election as against
cold Ike" Let's all vote for Isaac
and give him ''benefit.''

That Tilden is able, that be has rem
dered good service in the cause of re-
form in his own city and State, and
that he cannot be justly assailed eth
er in his private or public character, l
readily concede. But the tide has yet
to appear that is to give substantial
promise of success. The platform OF
his own creation is masterpiece of
political cunning. 1t is full of appar-
ent manliness; of the most gorgeous
platitudes; of the subtle conciliation
of the most opposite interests, and
where 1t could be honest it is simply
sublime. None but Samuel j. Tilden
or Carl Schurz could have penned
such a campain platform. It will be
strong with the people. for it offers
healing for all of the many public
sores, and treats most of them with
the bold political surgery that must
command the admiration ofthe people.

We have had something heretofore
to say of Mr.. Tilden; and that some-
thing not altogether coninciding with
the absurd claims of the partisans who
found in him the embodiment of all
political virtues. But we do not pro-
pose to overlook the fact that his repu-
tation is better than he is himself. Ia
other words Mr., Tilden is an adversary
whom to beat we must fight. Should
Mr., Hendricks consent to take the

to draw to itself the entire Democratic

AN ESTIMATE OF PARTY sTRENGTH-A
TRIUMPH FOR THE DEMOCRACY POSI-
TIvELY ASSURED.
Now that both paities have placed
their leadeas in the field, and the bat
tie has fairly opened. it is not inappro.
pirate to make survey of the oppos-
ing forces, and ascertain their relative
strength and positions:
The following estimate. based upon
calculations from the results of pre-
vious elections, will show that the
Democrats of the country have every
reason to be hopeful of success in the
coming campaign.
The whole number of electoral
votes is 1853. Necessary to choice
1856, The States, with their electoral
votes. and possible political COM
plexions are as follows.
The daily gazette., 1876-06-30

The nomination Of Governor Tilden
is one that does credit to tho Conven-
tion, and it is one, also, of which the
Democratic party is entitled to be
proud. 1t certainly has serious ele'
ment of weakness in the extraordinary
bitterness by which Mr.. Tllden has
been opposed both inNew York and at
the west but it possesses a great ele-
ment of National strength in the high
personal character of the nominee and
in his illustrious record as champion
Of practical administrative reform.-

had inspired the whole country with
profound distrust, which was not to be
removed by platform pfUmisess, nor
talked down by all the elo4uence of
campaign orators. But in adopting as
its leader in the comiHg contest the
only Democrat who has distinguished
himself Us q practical reformer. sud the
one, who more than all others, ID hated
BY the baser elements Of the party, the
Democracy at least does something 70
hope for the future.-[N. =. Tribune.
Whatever else may be said or thought
of Mr.. Tilden, il must be conceded by
friends and enemies alike, conceded by
Democrats and Republicans alike, that
he has proved himself one of the ablest
and most astute managers that have
ever appeared in the politics Of this
country. Outside of New York in the
country at large, TildeA is undoubted-
ly the strongest and most popular nom-
ination the Democratic party could
have made. A conclusive proof of
this is the tactics adopted by his oppo'
nents at ST. Louis. The sole ground
on which they rested their opposition
was his alleged inability to carry New
York.
The Presidential election will be de-
cided by the electoral votes of the
Empire State, and Governor Tilden
will have q hard battle to fight here
against powerful and formidable ad>
versaries. If he wins in this State be
wins everything; If he loses this State
he loses all. With his own party dl
vided and his Republican adversaries
Thoroughly united, with the whole in.
fuence of the federal patronage exert
ed against him, and the discouragiHe
effect of probable Republicanvict0riei

strategist can give him the victory

The Democratic Convention at st.
Louis yesterday completed its work by
nominating Samuel J. Tilden, of New
York, as its candidate for President;
and although it has long been evident
that this must be done, we none the
less thank God that it is done. 1t is
an event of exceeding importance, and
we are most grateful for t,not because
it is in the interest of the Democratic
party-for party as such we care moth
ing-but because it is in the interest
of the country, and opens way for
our escape from the unappreciated
evils and dangers which surround and
threaten the Republic.
1t is as refOrmer, and because he is
reformer, that Mr.. Tilden is selected
to lead the Opposition in this Centen>
nial yearly. Y. SWn.
