The campaign edition of the New

its columns with these startling lines !:
"The Democratic Ticket-The puh-
lie career of Samuel j. Tilden and

the outbreak of the war-a sympa-
thizer with Rebellion during the en-
tire war for the Union-An ally of

abundant evidence of all these
charges. And this is the man that
the Democracy in the year 1875 are
asking the people to place In the
Presidential chair. And, worse than
all, it is asked to be done in the name
of Reform. Amore stupendous fraud
was never attempted. The honest
masses of the country should stamp
it out of existence.

The Gallipolis Journal of last week
contained nearly a column of 'aw
fulness" about TILDEN having sworn
that his income was in a certain year
seven Thousand dollars and in his
railroad suit lately saying that he
had charged ten or twenty thousand
dollars for services rendered that
same year. just as though because
Tilden had charged this amount he
must pay income tax on it, although
he did not receive it until the follow
ing year.--BMlletin.
aDid not receive it until the fol-
lowing year." won't do, for it is not
true. We call Samuel j. Tilden 10
the stand. On December 26, 1868,
he swore that his ''income from all
sources" for the year 1852, was only
$7,11S. In the year 1876, in his an
swer to the complaint of the St.
Louis, Alton and Terre Haute Rail
road Company, against himself and
others, Tilden swore as follows:
"That for such services, the de-
fendant Tilden, made charge of
ten Thousand dollars against said Sec
ond mortgage bondholders, and the
said charge was paid, by or on behalf
of said second mortgage bondhold
ers, on the 18th Of October, 1852;
that the defendant, Tilden,
for part of his services aforesaid,
also made a charge of the like sum
of ten thousand dollars on account of
professional services rendered to the
first mortgage bondholders and the
receivers, which was paid to him by
the said Azariah c. Flagg. + r
and which payment appears under
the date of November Z, 1862, in a
statement annexed to the first report
aforesaid, as having been receipted
for by the said Tllden 'on account Of
professional services
There, Mr.. Bulletin, is the sworn
testimony of Mr.. Tilden himself,
that he did receive this $4,000 in
1862, and you must accept it as true,
and thus own up to telling lie, or
else declare that you won't believe
your candidate for President under
oath. Take which horn you please.
