cANDID. At Ivy RATE.

Gov. Bedlc of New-Jersey has betaken him
self to the making of speeches in favor Of
Tildep and Hendricks. One of these he de-
liyered at Jersey City on Monday evening last
in the course of which he submitted a, series
of propositions to which he asked his hearers to
respond Amen IA, no doubt, being OF the
pious kind, they did. We the more readily
suppose this, since, for sort of coda or tail
piece proposition, the Governor announced
ga clean sweep of ofiiee-hOldcrs, from the
"higbest 10 the lowest" We presume that he
used the adjective clean adyisedly, but it
strikes us as rather an unfortunate one to be
employed in characterizing what would neces-
sorily be by no means "clcan" piece of bust
ness. But this was an argument which great
many needy and seedy and greedy gentlemen
who are in the habit of attending such meet
ings could fully appreciate. a clean sweep
should Gov. Tilden become President is pre-
cisely what they would expect, for certain per-
sopal reasons which it is unnecessary for us to
explain. What their discontinue at finding
that there was TO be no sweep after all would
I've. there are no words in our vocabulary strong
enough to express.
We do not know that Gov. Bedle, who is in
the main very good sort of gentleman, is to
be much scoded for his truth to the tradi-
tions of his party; and we do know that
MANY of the party are naturally, and we may
say prcteInatIrally, sharp set, and under
stand as well as anybody can what loaf
means or fish. No: the Governor is not to
be censured for saying what everybody around
him is thinking; only he shOu d preserve some
sort of consistency between the different parts
of the same speech. When the Republicans make
a clean sweep" on their part, the operation does
not by any means so warmly commend itself
to the gubcrnatoria mind For only little
while after, the Governor spoke ENORMOUSLY of
the naughty conduct of the NcwJersey Re-
publicans, who have exhibited so much par
tisanship that "nOt single lay judge or
Judge of the Court of Common Pleas is n
Democrat" which must make it bad for
some of Gov. Bodies constituents when they
get into difficulties. The orator stigmatized
this as Bipartisan through and through" and
declared that such monopolizing parry could
not "carry ont civil service reform" Not the
kind, we should hope, which would be con-
fined to making a clean sweep of Office
"holders, from the highest to the lowest"
That is the civil service reform" which Gov.
Bedle proposes; and he understands, uDques-
tionably, the needs as well as the designs of
his party.
One good reason for supporting Gov. Hayes
Is that we may be spared the demoralizing
spectacle of one OF Gov. Bodies "clean sweeps"
It is enough TO make one tremble for the per-
petuity of things in general, to think of the
place hunters, hungry mob of them, who

have reconciliation which shall consist in
robbing those who have trusted the pledges OF
the nation
If Ohio and Indiana vote for this act OF re-
pudiation, those States viii place in power the
men who fought not for the Union, but against
it. The South always ruled the Democratic
party, and rules it yet. VIII the men who
saved the Union trust those who fought against
it to pay the debts Of tho warf In its briefest
form, this is tho whole question of resumption
The Democratic party would repudiate the
pledee. because the Democratic party is ruled
Inv tbe South. But those who defended the
Union are not vet ready to dishonOr its pledges
and to stain its flag.

Tn commenting upon the objections which
have been made to Gov. Tilden as candi-
date, The London Saturday Reriew observes !:
ain one respect Englishmcn may perhaps,
without .undue presumption, CLAIM to be
9" in advance of Americans. 1t Is not GUS
"tomary in this country to Witty the prl-
"vate character of political opponents"
"Vilify" is proper word to use, OF course,
if Gov. Tilden is guiltless of the frauds OF
which he has been accused but what If he be
guilty, in whole or in partf Now, after all
the elaborate and ingenious explanations made
by his man, the fact remains that he paid,
after 1862, tax on an income OF less than
SIS, 900, it beng notorious that 1t must have
averaged above 100000. To state this is not
"to vilify," but merely to give to the people
information to which they arc clearly entitled.
The RepieU complains that Gov. Tilden is de-
nounced as "a perjurer and swindler." Such
epithets are freely used, indeed, by journals of
the more reckless sort before proof, if not
without proof and we should be the last to
defend them.
But we do not believe that there is country
in the world in which a public man would be
more severely taken to task than in England,
if it were found that he had been in the
habit Of evading his income tax. 1t has not
been the custom of that country to show any
mercy to malfeasance with money in it. Wit
ness the trial of Warren Hastings! Witness
the trial of Dundas Lord Melville, for misap-
preparation of the public money! Witness the
penitency with which his conviction for dis
honestly specializing in the funds was con-
stantly urged against Cochrane, Lord Dun
donald Witness the pertinacty with which
the private habits of Charles James Fox, his
gambling and his debts, were made the theme
of innumerable squibs and satires Witness
the coarse and sometimes unwarrantably brutal
lampoons designed to bring MIR. Sheridan into
contempt. We might go great way back,
and say something of the story OF Lord Bacon,
but we forbear. We have not time nor space
for political history of England, even in a
compendium.
Markedly considered, the question whether

much the citizen should know; it is not his
fault but the fault Of the offender, that shame
and scandal come of disreputable transactions;
and the old rule of FaLsus in ano, tdisS IN
omnibus, is as true in such matters az in any.
In this age of loose notions about the honesty
to be demanded of public officer, we suspect
that it will be found hardly possible to keep the
point of personal integrity and Of trrstworthi-
ness ont of our debates. Nor do we remem-

Last nights meeting at Cooper Union en-
bodied all the first and fresh energy of the
campaign. Chauncey NJ. Depew's happy char
acterization of the recent Democratic nomina-
tions in this and neighboring States as "the
"inspiration of defeat and the offspring of des-
"pair," preceded Senator BOutwelrs elaborate
criticism of Democratic policy and convincing
exposure of Democratic falsehOods AS the
words of one who was long chief financial
officer of the Government, Senator Boutwells

credit, and the steady and systematic reduc-
ton of debt, taxes, and expenses, effected by
the Republican party, will carry great weight
The Democracy claim possession of the Ma
tional Government on the strength OF retrench-
ments in single State where they seek to

Tho Republican party can point to longer,
larger record, which covers the whole country,
and is not limited to two years of virtue in
single State. And as always happens, there is
vastly greater cackle over the solitary Demo
cratic egg than over the whole Republican
brood,

1t would not be strange If the enthusiasm
engendered in Indiana by the soldiers reunion
should help greatly in carrying the Republican
cause in that State through to decisive vic
tory. The accounts given in our dispatches OF
the condition of popular feeling show that the
lines are drawn in Indiana substantially as
they were drawn during the war itself, when
Democratic secret societies and oath bound or
CARNATIONS lurked behind the Union arms fit
for treasons and stratageps, and as anxious
then as to-day for spOils. After eleven years OF
peace the war heat kindles slowly, but once
aroused it takes as long to cool. 1t is safe to
say that in Indiana it viii outlast the cam
paign.

While curiosity to see live Presidential
candidate may have swelled the crowds at
Philadelphia yesterday, the demonstration was
at no time tinged with political hue. 1t was
simply great gathering of our citizens, with
their Executive at their head, in honor of the
Empire State. The magnitude of the demon
stration was enough in itself to satisfy the
widest State pride. With this incursion from
this city the attendance at the Exhibition
reached the highest figure it has yet attained
and, it is said, higher figure than was ever
before reached by Worlds Fair. But the
enormous attendance of the day before was
sufficient to show that the Exhibition has
reached the full tide of prosperity, which bids
fair to last

Senator PattersOn's alarming representations
of the condition of things in South Carolina
have brought AttorneyGeneral Taft to the
conclusion that troops are needed at once IN
that State. Washington dispatches report that
there is considerable indignation with Adjt.- Gen'
Townsend for his Hat refusal to give the neces-
sary order without direct instructions from inc
President, the Secretary of War, or the ten
eral of the Army. 1t is difficult to see why
there should be any such feeling. Access to the
higher powers can be had very speedily, and
it may well be that Gen. Townsend's refusal
results merely from the unwillingneSS of
careful officer to take an important step with
out the best authority. This is matter in
which it is well to make haste slowly, though
when action is once found necessary, it should
be prompt and decisive.

Not the least of the wonders Of the Exhi-

which an army of visitors has been carried
back and forth each day. rhe Pennsylvania
road alone has averaged $4,000 passengers o

has carried 10000. With all this travel, not
a single passenger has been injured since the
opening Of the Exhibition. Compliment could

We are often reminded of the unvarying constancy
Of some factors of the Indian problem Accidentally
we come upon the minutes Of Piankashaw Coun-
ell held at Post ST. Vincent, April Is. 1884, and the
speech Of the white representative might have been
delivered last Summer by Quaker commissioner,
while the sentiments Of Bad Triple. the Piankashaw
brave, could be adopted with little modification by
Sitting Ball or Rain-in-the-Face. On the one side
there is the same profession of tender and parental
interest mingled with. remonstrance and threaten
ing5 and promises of blankets. On the other we
hear the familiar guratiye illusions TO buried oma
hawks aud smoke from peace pipcs, and protcsta-
tons that stolen horses and occasional scalpings
we're the results of misunderstanding aud poverty.
On ono subject however, there is less reserve than
would be looked for in more modern conferences.
The aboriginal heart is still cheerod by alcoholic
stimulants but the red is now sufficiently en-
lightoned TO deny that he gets drunk. Bad Triple
wore no fg leaves, but he was not ashamed. He
had an exalted estimate Of the white because,
as he stated, they could make rum out of corn"
And as he delivered up three strings Of blue and
white wampum and the cOronet of peace, he closed
his speech with these touching words: 1--WE were
born and raised in The woods: could never learn
TO make rum God has made tho White Flesh mas
ters of the world: they make everything: and we
all love rum"
