I Reader, just analyze the above and

lmous roformer, Tilden, was anxious
to avoid, under oath, the real facts as
to his intimate connection with
Tweed, especially from 1866 to 1870,
during which time the monstrous
frauds were committed by ballot-box
stufiinE, and when, as we have shown
before, in 1868 Tildcn sent through
out The State q circular, calling upon
Democrats just as soon rs the polls
closed, that they should at once telc-
graph this same Tweed Chat he "dtd
not kaose Desy .nuch,'o their opinion of
the result. Tilden asked that those
kilograms be sent before midnight Of
the day Of election. Tilden was chair
man Of the! State COMMITTEES, and
Tweed. a ,Tammany chief. The
knowledge they gave Tweed acted
upon and the ballot stufiing followed.
Again, Tilden could not remember
that Tweed had contributed any
large sums toward elections. Well,
$1,000 is. a pretty good contribution,
one would suppose, to be made at
one pop, and it does seem that most
men would not be entirely oblivionls
in memory to such things. a b14

HERE is what the venerable Thur
low Weed says of Tilden: "He did
not go to the front in the hour of the
country's peril. His voice was not
heard in the time of danger, and
when money was needed for the
widows and orphans, Mr.. Tilden's
purse was not open. No vote of
mine shall ever aid to elect Presi-
dent who was not in sympathy, and
publicly known to be a war man,
loyal to the core, ready with his voice,
his influence, and his means to help
his country and uphold her flag. Mr..
Tilden was not one of these"
And Thurlow Weed, the greatest
of the old living Journalists of the
country, is prc-eminently sound in
the resolve he ANNOUNCES above. II
within twelve years after the close
of a great war Of rebellion against q
nation--that nation were to go so far
in pacitication as not only to forgive
the offender, but also to place the
chief crown upon the head Of al
abettor and sympathizer of rebellion
and, not only that, but in doing SO
discard q faithful, gallant soldier o
the union, then, indeed. is gallant
loyaltymadc odious, and scmi-treasoI

HON. Z. y, SAMPSON.

Up to a. very recent period we had
heard Of no opposition to the re-nom-
ination of Judge Sampson for Con-
gress in this District. Even now, we
cannot learn that he has any serious
opposition. The convention meets
at Oskaloosa on the .26th inst. The
convention will comprise 60 delegates,
30 being necessary to a choice. We
are informed that Mahaska,- ~ votes.
Keokuk, s. and Monroe. 5, have, olcc-
ted their delegates and that, they are
all solid for Sampson. Jasper conn-
ty. 10 votes, is nearly solid and has
also elected her delegates. Marion
and Appanoose counties have chosen
their delegates, and these are about
evenly divided, we learn, between
Sampson and Weaver. The above
counties alone would nominate Samp-
son, as we understand the situation.
Undoubtedly, Wapello county Re-
publicans are decidedly for Sampson,
and will give a solid. vote for him. 1t
is hardly probable that in the conven-
ton there will be any opposition 10
