Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1876-08-03
POLITICAL NOTES.

The people know such acts are shams,
Though party headers shout "Reforml"
Ben Hill and Wade Hampton agree
with jeff Davis that Tilden ought to
be elected. It's the Southern Confed
eracy's only hope-IoaCd NOnpdrea.
This is sample of numerous checks
which passed between New York re
formers" before they dissolved part
nership:
New York Sep. S, 1868.
1.-The National Broadway Bank will |
pay to the order of William NJ. Tweed |

william NJ Tweed"
What claim upon the confidence OF
the country has the man who main-
tanned intimate political and personal
relations with Tweed until the big
thief was compelled to flee before the
coming storm?
Certainly the great majority of the
Independent or Liberal leaders of 1872
and since are now in support of the Re-
publican ticket.-Sprinqfeld Republic
can.
The Indianapolis Sentinel Dem add
mits that the letter of Governor Hayes
accepting the nomination, is states
manlike document, ingeniously pre-
pared.
The Germans of Hamilton County
Ohio, turn from Fred Hassaurek, of
the VOlkSbldtt, and join in praising
Governor Hayes letter of acceptance.
They know the man and will vote for
him.
The New York Liberal Republicans
are to hold convention at Saratoga,
ON the 10Th proximo The object of
the convention, it is understood. is for
mally to pronounce in favor of Hayes
and Wheeler.
The New York World calls Carl
Shurz "a stem-winding politician. "
There is something i'm this. As a
means of ''winding-up" the career of
the Democratic party he is likely to
prove an entire success.
The Burlington Hd9keye thinks
there is about as much difference be-
tween Tilden and Hendricks, on the f.
nancial question, as there is between
Tilden and Brigham Young, matrimo-
nially. The former is bachelor, and
the latter has twenty-seven wives
The Indiana Republicans do not
make loud-mouthed professions of re-
form, but go quietly to work and NOM
mate their best men for office. A
proof of this is the high character of
the gentlemen nominated for Congress.
Gin. Gazette. "a
Albany Eceniag 1Hail: Welcome the
issueI We of New York know Mr.. Til
den through and through; know his
fictitious strength and real weakness
know his flariEg mask and his hollow
substance, and we are ready for the
fight We pressed him last year from
the splendid majority of $4,000 down
to the narrow margin of bare and
barred success.
Governor Tilden is the first presiden-
tial candidate ever nominated by his
own direct efforts through an organiza-
ton specifically controlled by himself,
and by manipulatIons wholly inspired
by himself. Parties heretofore have
nominated candidates. Tilden himself
used the Democracy To nominate him
self. Tilden in a word, is Tilden's
own.-Uticd Herald.
The Appeal, of Bloomington, H.,
an Independent reform newspaper, re-
fuses to support Tilden because of his
course during the war and his position
on the finances. 1t denounces the inn
becility of the Democratic leaders in
throwing away success which was al
ready within their grasp by nomina-
ting man who cannot carry single
Northern State unless it be Connecti-
cut.
The record of James ID. Williams
Democratic candidate for Governor of
Indiana, shows that while member
of the Legislature he opposed the war,
voted in favor of the resolution asking
President Lincoln to withdraw his
proclamation of emancipation, voted
against the soldiers on every possible
occasion; shows in short, that he was
Copperhead of the worst type.-Inter
Ocean.
An examination of Tilden's private
cash-book for the last three months
would be interesting. Bates * Locke
for advertising, salaries of agents,
lithographing, paper, postage, hotel
bills at st. Louis and the purchase OF
votes at The convention, must foot up
toav respectable figure indeed.
But then fhe money was acquired easi-
ly, as the stock holders of certain Wes-
tern railroads have reason TO know.
Many Iioston Republicans expect
that General Banks will come out for
Hayes and Wheeler. In private let
ter, dated at Washington "a few days
ago, he says:
All is excitement on one side here
and CONSERVATION on the other. 1t
will be so until the end of the season,
leaving no opportunity nor inclination
to attend to the general business of
the country"
The real obseurity of Governor Til
den is shown by TIE dense ignorance
! that prevails respecting his deeds.
Most people have more definite notions
about the lite and exploits of Sitting
Bull, or Young-MaDs- Afraid f-Horses
than of the Governor of New York.
There's "a fierce white light that beats
upon THRONE" the poets say. That's
the kind of light that is illuminating
Tilden's record, Ii is a record that
will be none the stronger for this iIlu-
