the unfounded assertions Of opponents, who,
finding nothing real at which to carp, test
the strength Of their Imagination and their
hearers or readers credulity. Upon every
essential question our candidates are per-
fectly agreed, and the party 10 unit. It is
iully understood that the great issue
between honesty and dishonesty, purity Of
administration and roguery In office, gov
ernment for the people and personal perog-
ative. In their determination to uprOet the
evs, .sSt has usurped the seat of authority,
aus, 10 place therein the legitimate occupant,
the two Governors and the whole party are
of one mind. And many others, who have
never yet acted with the party, are OF the
same mind. AS time passes, the falsity OF
Republican promises and the various ten
Gency of their platform, In coItradistinction
with the manly and straightforward ut
terances Of the Democrats, and the record
of their candidates, becomes more fully es-
tablished, and, as consequence, we have
the pleasure of announcing daily accessions
to our ranks.
One thing which is greatly exercising the
Republicans, and daily threatening an ir-
rcparable split among them even wider than
has vet been made, Is the candidacy for the
IOVCTuOE6ulps 0C06VOA OOhAAhA6 40 NOoSA
mined that his friend Cornell shall be the
recipient of the nomination. Cornell earned
the gratitude of Conkling by writing the
letter which announced the alleged answer
of the State to the impudent assertions OF
the Union League Club. By the same
means he incurred the displeasure OF the
club, which contains some OF the most inhu-
cntial members of the party, whose friends
outside are arrayed with them against MIN.
It is asserted that the Senator has unequiv-
ocally declined to withdraw Cornell from
the canvass for the nomination, but, on the
contrary, intends to press the matter, and
at the convention to lead in person, and
stake his position in the party on the issue.
1t certainly is not we who have reason to
hope that he will not succeed.
Governor Tilden's letter Of acceptance is
troubling the opposition great deal. They
think that by this time it ought to be writ
ten. When they see it they will wish that
it's composition had been eternally post
poHed. It will contain undeniable truths
which they will wish had never seen the
light through the agency OF the pen which
Tildcn wields. Our Governor knows well
enough what he is doing in this matter, as
IN others of which he has had the manage
ment, and this fact will be universally ac.
knowledged when his letter has been read
and the nature of the business which has
caused the delay in its production is under
| stool. ... -l,yf
In this city the prospects for the triumph
of honesty are very promising. Everywhere
one meets enthusiasts for Tilden and Hen
bricks, and despondent office holders who
are bewailing the prospects-if they have
rot vet stolen enough to make the alterna-
tive necessary-of having soon to earn their
daily bread. If they carry into private life
the practices they have learned in public Of
flee. the police force of this city will have to
be doubled, and the judiciary department
vastly increased. The people of this city
and throughout the State are thoroughly
aroused with stern determination that their
voice shall be heard, and In nNovember next
you may confidently expect that Tildens
majority In this State will be far greater
than that which placed him at the head OF
our Executive.
The men who who have been reaping the
benefit of the public spoils know well the
value of the work which the present House
has accomplished. They know also that
with Democratic President, himself one OF
the most active and able In this brancn OF
the service, the same description OF labor
will be carried to al extent that Will pe W
terly ruinous to them and their procession.
By these words they may sigrify tnelr con-
tempt fthese proceedings, but by tnelr &C
tious, which are far more eloquent, tney
show how earnestly they hate the men VINO
have dared to interfere with their plans ana
projects, and how important 1t is to them
that no further opportunity shall oe gwen
to these men to proceed with their dlstaste-
| full labors. They are therefore strainlng
every nerve to secure the electlon OF tnei,
puppet, Rutherford B. Hayes, but they VIII
be disappointed in their endeavors; Inc
people mean their voice to be neard a. Inc
