= Crime Against lhe People,

Chapter IS of the laws of the State
of New York is entitled, "An act to
establish specie payments on all con-
tracts and obligations in this State,
made after Jan. 1, 1879.
The first section is as follows: All
taxes levied and confirmed in this
State on and after Jan. l, 1879, shall be
! collected in gold, United States gold
certificates or national bank notes
which are redeemable in gold on
demand" The second section pro-
vides that "every contract or obliga-
ton made or implied and PAYABLE
within this State, and made or implied
after Jan. 1, 1879, and payable in dol
lars, but not in a specified kind of dol
lars, shall be payable in United States
conn.,
Gov. Tilden signed that bill and
made it the law of the State, as ft now
stands In full force. He has thus pro-
vided that after Jan. 1, 1879, every tax
payer In New York must pay his debts
in gold, or in national notes redeema-
BILE in gold, which amounts to the same
thing. And now, after imposing this
absolute and permptory requirement.
upon the people of New York, he and
his party openly declare themselves
against the pledge that the u. S. Gov.
shall redeem its notes in gold on and
after Jan. !, 1879.
That is, Gov. Tilden compels the tax
payers and debtors of this State to paw
in gold. and at the same time does all
he can to leave them no way of OBJ
tanning the gold by striking down the
federal law which requires the United
States Government to furnish gold.
He compels the tax payers and
debtors of this State to pay, if not in
gold, then in national notes redeema-
BILE in gold, and at the same time as
sails and tries to overthrow the federal
law which requires the United States
Government TO make its notes thus re-
deemable in gold.
he compels the tax payers and the
debtors OF this State to pay in gold or
gold notes at whatever premium gold
may be, while he would leave the Gov
eminent and people at large to pay in
deprecated and irredeemabie paper.
The provision that sail taxesn and
'fevery contract" within this State
must be paid in gold or gold notes is
positive and unqualified. II the Uni
ted States resumption law stands, then
gold notes will be the regular curren-
cy, and there will be no difficulty in
the payment. If it does not stand.
then taxpayers and debtors must buy
gold at whatever high figure this sud-
den and large demand may create.
And yet Gov. Tilden and his party,
while thus compelling the people Of
New York to pay in gold, at the same
time aim their deadly blows at the
resumption law which provides the
means.
Such is the amazing position in
which Gov. Tilden places himself by
his betrayal OF principal and surrender
to the repudiationists-a position ut
terly disgraceful to himself and disas-
trous 60 the people. Not one word can
his supporters say in defense. There
is no escape. Such an attack as Mr..
Tilden makes upon the public honor,
after signing such law In this State,
is not merely y fragrant piece of dema-
gogueism, but crime against the peo-
pie !-HornelsvIlle IN. 70 Times

It is a startling commentary on
free government when we are told
by officers of the law charged with
preventing fraudulent voting that
they "hOpe to be able to limit the
number to not exceeding twenty
thousand in New York" Tilden
could stop this by word, but it lie
in proof that he is personally su-
perintending the canvass in that
city, and is therefore personally
responsible for this crime against
the ballot-box.

only add additional fuel to the flames

Hearty cheers and anvil salptes
punctured his address at every
point. The speaker has endeared

They recognized in him one of the
leading men of leading Kansas, and
only await the opportunity when
they can show their appreciation of
his worth. Altogether the meetings
were productive of much good, and

solid South.

If Tilden is elected it will be by
about 13S votes from the south and
so or 60 from the north. If he is
elected who will run him? The
south, of course. It will run him
or kill him. They do not propose
to be fooled in this matter. The
country will be just where it was
when the old arch-traitor, Buchan-
an, took the reins. The surrender
of the government into the hands of
a solid south will be an invitation
for another war. Our army and
navy must be kept in loyal hands.
The only way to keep the peace is
to maintain in position the party
that has a record for loyalty.

There is some confusion as to the
position of thu two parties in Col
orado on the Congressional ques-
ton. The Republicans hold that
the election OF congressman, Oct. 3
was for both terms-that is that
Bedford was elected as . member of
the forty-fourth Congress and q
member of the forty-fifth. The
constitution puts in force the Terri
torial laws relating to elections, and
in them no alIusion is made to any
election in November. The Demo-
Gratis, having been defeated, dissent
from this view and call 8 special
election for November z, to elect 9

gress. The Republicans win take
no part in this election.

the Cincinnati Gazette shows, by
the report of the assessor lately

wards of the city of Cincinnati, the

than the number of votes polled in
the same wards. AS there are al
ways some sick or absent from home,
this shows the polling of 1000 ille-
gal votes In those wards alone. This
was done by the party which de-
nands reform.
