Tiiden's COpperheadism.

Mr.. Tilden's record in the war is one oil
the principal recommendations which he
has In the eyes of the ex-Confederates.
Without this be would not have received
the support which he did from the South in
the St. Louis convention. But if this
commends him TO the ex-confederates ii
ought to serve 10 arouse against him the
stern opposition of all who were loyal to
the government In the time of rebellion
That he was one Of the committee which
reported the infamous peace resolution to
the democratic convention at Chicago
in 1864 is well known, and there is
abundance of other evidence 10 show
that his sympathies were with the rebels.
In his speeches in this State General Con-
way of New York related the following
fact which shows conclusiyely where Til
denis heart was during the war. He said:
"In 1862 | was home from the army on

From the Boston Traveller.
Mr.. Blaine i'm Boston.

The reception of Mr.. Blaine by the
grand audience in Music Hall last night,
gives at a glance, clearer than tongue or
pen can tell, the reason why all the ex
Confederate Democratic dogs yelp at his
heels, and throughout New England at
least, bury the great issues of the canvass
under storm OF abuse aimed at him. He
appeared to the immense and respectable
audience last night just as he does to the
people at large, as most powerful and
most exemplary leader of the republican
party-a most conspicuous type of that
political manhood which must continue to
rule this country so long as 1t is Repub-
lie. He appeared as the champion of civ
il rights and as the unconquerable foe of
that dastardly resort of the turnkey and
the assassin-State rights-and so long as
he is able to hold his present exalted po-
sltion before the people, SO long will he
be pursued by all the disloyal and disre-
putable elements that hunger after the
power to transform the Government into
machine to subserve caste and oligarchv.
OF the matter of Mr.. Blaine's speech
We need not speak at length, since those
who did not hear il must have read at least
fair synopsis of its points. But there
is one point which we desire to enforce by
special reference. 1t is Tilden's abandon
ment OF the hard money platform upon
which his friends placed him SO conspicu-
ously before his nomination. The act of
surrender itself was infamous enough I'm,
that is merely an indication of the real
Significance OF Tilden's candidacy, as Mr..
Blaine said. There is man who has
been heralded far and wide as one of the
most ingrained champions of a certain
policy. submitting to the clamor for a diff
ferent policy, even at the very opening OF
the canvass. The inference is clear, tina,

cess first of all. and principles can take
care Of themselves. And in order to har
m"nize, in fact, as a preliminary to hi
nomination, it was necessary for him t.
submit to the old lordly element of the
South, who rule the democratic party now
as thoroughly as they did in Buchanan,
day, and who now want more money in
order to make easier the payment of their
disloyal claims against the government

cauvassed and the republicans aroused to the ne
cessity of doing their duty without fear of being
shot down at the polls.
The democrats have been unfortunate in their
"battle cries. this year. They started out yelling
"Reform" and hoping to drown all hostile sounds
thereby, but the republicans have turned the cry
against them so completely by showing up their
record that it has become the biggest joke of the
canvass and is everywhere greeted with ridicule.
Then they declared exultantly that they would
succeed because the "sod South" was on their
side. During the past few weeks the republicans
have taken this declaration in its literal truth, and
have made it so effective that the result of the
election is likely to be decided by it. Then out
in Indiana they put up for Governor cheap DEM
agogue who was distinguished for nothing except
his peculiar style of clothing, and they hoped to
elect him on that claim alone. Again the repub-
lcars have turned the eneuy's weapons against
them, by showing that Uncle jimmy Blue Jeans
is simply what his friends claim, and that howev-
or much it may be to mans ere it that he has
always worn kind of cotA still this fact alone
is not sufficient to make him a capable Governor.

these issues now, and are abusing the republicans

Republican majority


The vote in October, 1868, was for Governor
and Hendricks was then candidate, as he was
again in 1872, and was defeated by less than 1000
votes; yet one month later the State gave a ma
jority Of 956S for republican candidate for Pres
ident. In 1872, Hendricks majority for Governor
was ll4S, whereas in November, with "A much
smaller aggregate vote, Grant had, for President
~, SIS majority.
1t will thus be seen that the presidents are in
favor of democratic victory in Indiana in Oct.
If this should not be secured and by majority
greater than that received by Hendricks for Gov
snor in 1872, it will presage defeat for Tiden in
November more disastrous than that which over
whelmed the hberal-democratic candidate four
years ago. There are other reasons why demo.
cratic victory there in October may be look ed for.
The favorite leader of the democracy is now a
candidate for Vice President; the greenback her
esy has its stronghold in that State, and all of the
leaders, including Mr. Tilden, are pspdering to it
for the sake OF votes; vast sums of money have
been sent to the State, which are being used not
only for Legitimate campaign purposes. but also
for colonzlng fraudulent voters from Kentucky;
and during the past eight years the emigration
westward has been chiefly of the int, llgent farm
ing class, who generally voted the republican
tcl ct.
Now to ask the republicans Of Indiana to over
come the odds against them, and to carry the
State 10 October, is to ak them to do more than
Is expected of their party friends in any other
State. II they do succeed it will be the most
brilliant political victory ever won. But our
friends in the east ought not to expect it, and
they ought not to let their own action depend on
what is uone in Indiana next month, but go to
work at once, counting the State against them
aud organize for victory in November. If the
State should surprise the country by going repub.
lican in October. it will only render the work
done in New York all the more efficient on the fl
nal day of battle. Indiana in October is necessary
to Mr.. Tilden to give him a decent excuse for con-
testing the election in November If he lose then,

What the Election in Indiana will
Mean.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune,
writing from Indianapolis, presents the following
views upon the political situation in Indiana:
Both Ohio and Indiana are close States, but the
latter has been democratic for number of years,
and it has been kept only from being largely so
through the splendid campaign work of a few de-
voted republicans. Let us look at the figures
furnished to our hand by the Tribune almanac.

these two remedies. Every paper may
publish what it pleases, subject only
so far as State law can go, to a civil ac-
ton or a criminal prosecution for libel.
The mode of publication is left to the
publisher, and the mode of writing TO
the writer. The Legislature may not
prescribe rules that make it vexations
or more expensive or less profitable to
the publisher, Oh that interfere with or
impair existing contracts between him
and any Of his writer's or employees.
The enforced publication of the name
of the writer of every article would in
the cost of publishing a paper
like the Post by many hundreds OF o
lars per year. Our Constitution gives
US in this respect only that protection
which the common law gives to Eng
lish publishers. Doubtless Walpole
and his Parliament would have been
glad to rid themselves of all such dan
Rerous annoyances as the letters by
Swift signed I'M. Drapier," but they
never tor an instant thought Of passing
such an outrageous law to abridge the
liberty of the press as this Lame Pier
son bill. The provocation in that case,
and afterward in the matter OF the j An
ius letters, was greater than any that
has ever been given in this country;
but had the Ministry proposed such Il
remedy as this it would have been
hooted and kicked from One extreme OF
the realm to the other. This bill :" re-
strains and abridges the liberty of the
press" in this, that it establishes new
and expensive and dangerous methods
of publication, and is, therefore, uncon-
stitutional.
