efforts in the direction of civil service re-

that party in its support of Samuel J. Til
den, while 1t is Fastening to it's own destruc-
tion in permitting the present presidential
nominee to continue as such without meet

tinct charges.-AMbarn Advertiser.
1t remains to be eeen whether the Demo
cratic party will indOrse Mr.. Tilden's
method of reducing national taxation. One
thing may be considered as settled. The
people of this country will not indorse such
q method. and if the Democratic party
shall permit Tilden to remain on the ma
ti0nal ticket, the Democratic party will be
annihilated in November.-N Louis Jour-
nal
That he was the most barefaced fraud as
'refOrmer" all knew, but that the willy
politician should have left his tracks 60 un-
covered as this seems almost incredible.
He stands now on the defensive, and must
make that defense speedily and success
fully, or there will be but one course for the
Democracy to pursue-remove his name
from their ticket.-Seneca Falls Courier.
Mr.. Tilden, with every day that passes,
continues to grow in bad OdOr with honest
thinking loyal men. To his proved copper
headism, his notorious reputation as rail
road wrecker," and his dillydallying with
the money question, is now added personal

For years Mr.. Tiiden has been amassing
these bar'ls of money which he is now
spending TO elect himself, and his income
during 1862 was probably great deal
nearer 1000 than $1,000 as he reported to
the government. Why did not this great
dealing honestly with the government when
it was in such sore need of pecunary assist
ance ?-Noruich, Connecticut, Bulletin.
With the accumulated ana undsputed
evidence of Mr.. Tilden's utter unfitness for
the position in which he stands as Presi-
dental candidate it would seem that there
is no other alternative left his party but to
demand his withdrawal. The moral sense
OF the country is not 80 blunted that it will
tolerate such turpitude in high places, and
allow the necessities of party to subOrdi
nate all the higher demands of national
character and pride. The awakened con-
science Of the people will meet the issue if
the party leaders do not.-Staunton Valley

We can not afford space for the publ
cation of any other extracts, which are
being increased with every issue Of the
Times. We feel under no necessity of
answering the question. The charge
seems taken pro confesso by Mr.. Tilden,
since the explanation of his secretary seems
regarded as wholly insufficient. The courts
are open to Mr.. Tilden as they were to
MIR. Beecher, and We presume the legal
talent Of OConor or Evarts is as accessi-
BILE to the great reformer as it was to the
great evangelist. We await this great
process. The damages involved will be
large, if estimated by the Democratic
confidence of making Attorney Tilden
President of the United States.
1t would be wholly useless to dis
cuss the question of guilt or
innocence here, as the general plea of
Democracy would estop any political
responsibility. While, however, the Re-
PUBLICAN need not spare time and type to
examine the question, We should suppose
that our Democratic papers, all having
"the largest circulation in the South
should at once extinguish these charges.
They should vindicate Mr.. Tilden all
over the United States just as they are
to teach the whole people of the United
States that the whole South is in peace,
except where the Republicans excite the
colored people to provoke the whites to
massacre of the colored people. We do
not know that the conviction of Attorney
Tilden would interfere politically with the
White Line Democracy. They would
only use him as despicable means of re-
newing the sectional quarrel; but at the
North and in the West the people who
have brought Republicans to condign
and effectual punishment for frauds on
the revenues of the government, or viola
tions of the duty which men in high
Office owe to the character of the Repub-
ican party, Attorney Tilden must give
more satisfactory account Of his dealings
with the Treasury, or he can not expect
them to abandon Hayes and cast their
sufrages for him.
