OSNABURGH.
RAISING THE HICKORY
A Large TiIden and Hendricks
Meeting.

Pursuant to notice goodly gathering
of the people met at the village of Osna-
burgh to raise hickory pole, and listen
to speeches from Col. S. Meyer and A.
McGregor. ...
The excellent 0snaburgh band were
out in their gay and new uniforms, and
enlivened the occasion with their best
airs. Osnaburgh deserves great credit
for having so good a band.
The beautiful hickory pole was raised
with ease and safety under the di' eCtion
of our worthy old Democratic friend,
Mr.. Henry Werner, There we're plenty
of willing hands, working together, to
place in an upright position this first CEN
tennial hickory erected in Stark county
in honor of TILDEN & HENDRICKS
When the pole was erect, and the
streamer, with Tilden and Hendricks,
floating in the breeze, cheers were sent
up in honor of the cause and the occa.
sion. 1t is proper to say that Mr. Ed.
hartman climbed the pole to loosen the
guy rope at a height of S5 feet. 1t is ex-
actly 100 feet high, and straight and
tapering, in fact, a beautiful pole.
Between 7 and O'Clock Mr.. George
Lieptag, committee man for the town
ship, called the meeting to order, when,
on motion, Mr.. James Miller was chosen
chairman. On taking the chair Mr.. Mil.
Ter made few happy and suitable re-
marks as to our excellent nominations,
and the general feeling among the people
of the necessity of reform. He then in
troiuced Col. S, Meyer, who spoke for
near an hour in his most able and earn
est manner. He referred to the malad-
ministration of the past few years-to
the general and admitted corruption Of
the party leaders in power-spoke of the
necessity of Reform and our noble nomi-
nees, Tilden and Hendricks. Col. Meyer
referred to the great increase of officials
under President Grant.
When Col. Meyer had finished, the
chairman introduced A. McGregor, who
spoke for near half an hour He referred
to the general desire for change of ad-
ministration among the people-four and
eight years ago the people feared a
change, now they earnestly desired a
change; all felt the necessity of it, as all
knew there was much that was wrong
Mr., McGregor illustrated the increase OF
useless officials by referring to the excise
laws, mentioning that for the little dis
tillery of Solomon Miller, in Plain town
ship, there was one U. S. storekeeper, a
Canton gentleman, at $4 a day; an in
spector, another Canton gentleman, at
five cents gallon, making about ten dol
lars week, besides other United States
officials who call occasionally to see that
the whisky is run straight.
The meeting adjourned with cheers for
Tilden and Hendricks.

GARFIELD GYMNASTICS.
Savage, of Ohio, cut lin Garfeld's
comb to day. In debate Garfield is eter-
nally talking about honor" and by his
personal acts demonstrating that he
doesn't know what honor is. In the de-
bate on the Silver Bill yesterday Garfield
made a speech in favor of gold stand
ard, and read from the act of 1860 to sus-
tain his position. Savage got the floor
and exposed Garfield by calling the at
tentian of the House to the fact that he
had only read part the sentence, and
omitted the part that provided that the
public debt should be paid in gold and
silves coin Garfield spuirmed like an
eel under the exposure. When the Re-
cord appeared this morning, Garhelds
speech contained the full sentence, which
made Savage's exposure appear like a
falschood. Garfield had induced the at
tention of the House to day to the false
report in the Record, and exposed Carr
fields sneaking littleness.
RANDALL'S SILVER BILL PASSED IN THE
SENATE.
The Senate concurred to day in the
amendments to Randall's Silver Bill,
adding $40 200, 900 more to the silver
circulation, and refusing to make the sill
yer dollar legal tender. The bill goes
to the President for his signature, and it
is predicted that he will veto the bill.

this really good, genuine economy is
only parallelled by that submitted in

by him for the State of New York.

ABOUT POLITICS.
We do not write you the foregoing
from any political sympathy with the
party which has seen fit tc place Mr. Til
den before the people as a candidate for
the highest Office within their gift. On
the contrary, every member of our firm
has, we learn on inquiry, voted for the
Republican candidates in every presiden-
tial election since the formation of that
party But the considerations do not in
fluenCe us to withhold any facts we may
properly furnish to you concerning our
business relations with Mr. Tilden, ex-
tending through a period of nearly ten
years And we cheerfully place on rec
ord the gratifying fact that in all of our
intercourse with him, involving the dis
posal of many million dollars worth of
ore since 1866, we have found him
THE IMPERsoNATIoN OF COMMERCIAL REC
TITUDE AND HONOR.
He would never consent to depart from
his unvarying rule of exacting only seven
per cent. interest for deferred payments
on ore contracts, though the laws of the
State of Ohio permitted more and during
the panic Of 1873ten and twelve per cent.
was voluntarily offered him for such ac-
Commodation, in the presumption that
he would not hesitate to accept what
others often exacted.
We should say, in conclusion, that Mr..
Tilden has not now and

give il a most emphatic denial.

Saratoga, July 15.-The consultation
between Governor Tilden and Governor
Hendricks, and the committee appointed
to notify them of their nomination, has
ended. Governor Hendricks left last
night for Indiana, and is to return here
again in ten days, with Mrs. Hendricks.
Governor Tilden left this morning for AL
bany. The consultation resulted in a
perfect agreement between the two NOM
inees, and full understanding in refer
ence to the letters of acceptance. The
stories of failure to come to an agree
ment have no foundation whatever, nor
is there now any doubt about Governor
Hendricks accepting. The statements
made by the latter to his friends after
consultation closed leave no doubt on
that point.
Governor Tilden's letter of acceptance
will not be given to the public for at least
ten days, if it is for two weeks. Sufficient
has transpired in reference to the talk
over the points to indicate that it will be
strong letter-one that will give tone
and vigor to the canvass. Reform will
be one of its strong features and at the
same time there will be no uncertain utter
ances in reference to the financial dues-
ton. The Indiana Democrats who were
here with Mr., Hendricks declare that
there has been complete revolution in
sentiment in that State since the ad-
journment of the st. Louis convention,
and that they now believe, from the de-
velopments, tnat Mr.. Tilden will prove to
be stronger than his party in that State.
In that statement Governor Hendricks
is reported to have coincided Promi-
Gent Democrats are here from different
sections of the State, some of whom we're
at the St. Louis convention opposing Mr.
Tilden's nomination, and they all report
an enthusiasm for the ticket seldom wit
messed. This is especially the case in
the interior, northern and western parts
of the State.
