tE- That little fact should not he for

ington stands Cincinnati.-Inter- Ocean.
EE- Tilden may reform the Democratic
party good deal, and still be long way
short of the Republican starting point
Chicago Tribune.
tsE- If nominated, l think Tilden can
not carry New York. With the disposi-
tion that exists, II doesn't seem possible. -
E. r. Ross, State Treasurer.
tE- Senator Thurman does not hesitate
to say that the Republican Presidential
ticket is very strong one. He declares
that Hayes is splendid man, and that
his reputation is without flaw or stain.
ETF- The Kansas City Times democrat
icy informs an anxious public: We take
our crow deviled, and would prefer it
without any sauce on II or about it, if we
could get 1t that way" The Times OPP

present attitude.

nall " If ii takes Democratic Congress
seven months to get everything into
snarl, and leave the Department without
money, how long would it take them to
smash the Government and re-establish
the ConfederacyY'
eS- Blanton Duncan believes that Til.
den will be the worst-beaten Democratic
candidate that ever ran, and that he will
not carry three Northern States. He feels
sanguine that there will be another con.

G5g" Gen. John Pope SAYS: "My long
personal friendship with Gov. Hayes, and
my strong personal attachment for him,
give me, of necessity, the deepest interest
in his success; but that feeling is also
greatly strengthened by the belief that his
nomination has been wisely made, and the
best interests of the country are involved
in his election"
gE- The Confederates at St. LOUIS vir-
tually indorsed Boss Tweed's operations
when they chose Tweeds silent partner
for their standard bearer. 1t is fact that
slippery Sammy Tildcn stuck to the Boss
just as long us he dared, and seeing that
a continuance of the intimacy would
prove dangerous to his political prospects,
he suddenly " Topped" as the Tammany.

E5S- Our Democratic friends have at
last finished their funeral Presidential
ceremonies. They are true to themselves
in the accidents of their logic. They are
consistent in their chronic catastrophes.
Hayes and Wheeler represent credit, con-
tidence and stability; Tilden and Hen
bricks represent change, experiment and
revolution The people must decide be.
tween the two.-EhiLddelDhid Press.
5B- The New Orleans Bulletin (Dem J
is disgusted with the performance of the
st. Louis Convention. 1t says: A party
that has not the courage to announce
single emphatic conviction, or that has
none to declare, is incapable of aggres-
sion, and stands confessed as nothing
more than mere organized communion
whose sole purpose is to getoffices, which,
they propose to fill in an indefinite sort of
wav"
EY- The nomination of Samuel Jones
Tilden for President gives pretty general
satisfaction to the people of New England.
The Democrats are pleased because he
just suits the New England type of De-
mocracy; the Republicans, because they
believe he can be more easily beaten than
other men whom the st. Louis Convention
might have selected as the Democratic
standard bearer TrGpelLer.
EE- The Senate Committee on Missis-
sippi has returned to Washington with
evidence showing that the intimidation of
cOlored voters at the last election was
even greater than has ever been charged.
a large number of witnesses who wero
called declined to testify, having been
threatened with assassination in case they
told the truth. The Democrats who were
summoned failed signally to explain
away the statements concerning fraud and
violence. The report of the committee
will be eagerly awaited.-Inter-O Oc6dR,
July 1.
E5B- This is the same Tilden who was
the Chairman of the New York Demo-
cratic State Committee during the whole
of Tweed's shameless career of political
fraud and personal corruption, who ac-
cepted and gave receipts to his "dear
Tweed'' for thousands of dollars which he
knew had been stolen, and used the
hohOy lol palGy puIpOSeS ny lnetllOOS dS
corrupt as tire source from which it came.
1t is the same Tilden who organized the
gigantic frauds upon the ballot-box in
1868, by which, as has been abundantly
proved beyond the possibility of doubt or
question, the will of the people of New
York was defeated.-WO Spy.
E5S- Tilden's friends claim that he car.
ried the State in 1874 by $4,000 majority.
His vote was 416,OO6 against 37S 900,
which gives him a majority of $4,000
only Last year majority of 14,SO1 is
claimed for his ticket. His vote was
100000 against 1856, 1000, which gives him
some 1000 majority. 1t is well to state
the figures accurately, as they take down
the lofty pretensiOns of Gov. Tilden's pop
ularity, and show that he has fallen far
short of his claims to public confidence.
He will find that a revolution has taken
place since it was seen that he wore only
the mask of reform, and that New York
is good for SO, 900 against him. of which
Kings County will furnish 10, O0.-Brook-
