canal thieves, the Times again reiterates its
confidence in Governor Tilden:
New York Times, March 25, 1876,
'Gov. Tilden is not likely to disappoint the
popular expectation that, committee or no
committee, he will track the canal frauds home
to their authors, and bring those who have
prohted by them 10 justice.
THE TINES PROPHET FoR ONCE RIoHr.
We end this collection of extracts with the
following. Il strikes some people right be-
tween the eyes:
New York Times, March q, 1876.
For q time he viii be praised, but after that
he VIII be abused all around. A man who
attempts 10 break down an abuse Of long
standing creates many bitter foes. and attracts
a few supporters; and lucky will il be for him
if in the end the rogues whom he his brought
TO grief do not eontriye 10 make out his char
acter blacker than their own. That was a
very wise warning of Coleridge, "Truth il a
good dog; but beware of barking too close 10
the heels OF an error, lest you get your brains
kicked out" Mr.. Tlden is barking close AT
the heels Of a great fraud, and he will ret
much encouragement just now; plenty Of peo-
pie will spur him on but when we are told
that he looks for public gratitude afler his
work is done, we must dismiss il as an idle
tale, for Mr.. Tilden is a shrewd man, and
knows perfectly well what sort Of q world we
are living in. a1l
We have no inclination to indulge ia com.
ments upon the foregoing. This Is strictly
the work Of the New York Times, leading
Republican newspaper, and regarded as re-. e.
liable authority upon political matters, by the
party of whose opinions it is an exponent.
We have thus culled the Times editorial views
OF Mr.. Iilden from the beginning Of bis SER
vice against the Tammany Ring, down 10 his
destruction OF its counterpart, the Canal
hlng, one year ago. Gov. Tilden's latest ex-
plot is reducing the State debt Of FIFTEEN
MILLIONS to EIGHT MILLIONS.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1876-08-26

The New York Herald fitly sums up taus
The Senate has resisted the attempts Of the
House to curtail the public expenditures,
The Senate acquitted Belkuap whom the
House impeached on conclusive evidence Of
his guilt. The Senate attempted to revive
the franking privilege, and failed by the non.
concurrence OF the House. The Senate de.
feated the House bill for transferring Indian
affairs to the war Department. wise and
wholesome measure which the enlightened
public. sentiment Of the country strongly en-.
dorsed. The Senate has confirmed Ciapp as
public printer, in spite of his demonstrated
uniitness: The Senate has passed no bill for
ments in 1879, although its majority processes
to stand by that act, and although everybody
acknowledges that new legislation is neces.
sary for giving it effect. Nobody can lay his
hnger on any act of the present Senate which
has any tendency to alleviate public burdens
or to introduce better system in the admin
istration of the government.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1876-08-26

The Cleveland Plain Dealer (Dem. says
"We can assure our friends in the East that
the Democracy of Ohio have never been
more hopeful Of success than they are to-day.
Thousands of men in the State who voted The
Republican ticket last fall will not vote Il this
year: 10 every neighborhood can be found
publicly identified with Democrats, Republi-
cans who were against ns year ago, and the
changes are all to us--none against us. The
Democracy have carried Ohio twice within
three years, and now. that they have ignored
