VERY sIGNIrIcANT.-The Democratic plat.
form is being changed to suit every locality.
It is one thing in the North, another in the
South. In the Rome Daily Nesos, Rome, Ca,
and the Weekly Courier, of the same place, the
following is the version given IF one of tho
Democratic planks:
"Reform is necessary to rebuild and estSb.
lish In the hearts of the whole people tho
Union, eleven years ago happily rescued from
the danger of corrupt ssntralism which, aftes
inflicting upon ten States the rapacity Of car j
pet-b tyrannies, has honey combed the
Offices of the Federal Government itself with
incapacity, waste and fraud; infected States
and municipalities with the contsgion Of mist
rule, and locked fast the prosperity of an III
dustrious people in the paralysis Of hard
times"
The original text, as published iu Narthern
papers, is as follows:
"Reform is necessary to rebuild and estao-
fish in the hearts of the whole people tho
Union, eleven years ago happily rescued from
the danger of q secession of Statss," SC. '
The change is slight one, to be sure, but
very important one. The Northern version is
to lead the friends of the Union to believe that
Democracy is in favor of Union and opposed
to secession. The Southern version Is to I'm.
press upon the Southern mind that Democracy
is friendly to the Lost Cause, and openly In
favor of the principles of secession. Like the
man who stands as the Presidential candidate
on this platform, Democracy has two faces,
neither of which has an honest expression.

pursued by It's acknowledged leaders in the
House of Representatives, shows it to be a
reactionary party, opposed to progress and in
favor of overturning those measures which
have been SANCTIONED by the people as the re-
suits of the war.
16. To restore power to a party that en-
deavored to betray the Union, that placed
every obstacle in the way of preserving 1t, that
discouraged enlistments and the raising of the
needed revenues, that tried to elect Presi-
dent in 1864 on the expressed declaration that
the war Of the Union was failure, and that
has placed itself on record against those
appointments to the Constitution which gave
political rights to the freedmen and protected
the Treasury of the nation from Confederate
claims would be an act of national suicide un-
paralleled n the history of the world.
II. 1t has been challenged to show to the
people a single public act performed during
the past twenty years on which to base its
claim for support and confidence, and up to
the present time no answer has been made to
the challenge.
Is. 1t has given proof of its unftness to
govern the Union by nominating a man for
the Presidency who at the breaking out Of the
war publicly proclaimed his disapproval of its
object, during its prosecution secretly favored
the Confederates, and at Chicago, In 1854,
signed resolution declaring the war for the
Union failure.
10. The false income return of Samuel j.
Tilden for 1852 his failure to make any re-
turns subsequent to 1868; his unwiliingness to
pay his share of tax that was relied upon to
pay the expenses of the Government during its
severe trial; his intimate association with such
politicians as VIM. NJ. Tweed; his manipula-
ton of railroad schemes; his participation in
tho profits of the illegal paper currency of the
mining companies of Michigan, and his whole
record as a lawyer and politician prove him
to be as unreliable as the party that supports
him, and as unworthy Of the peoples conn.
dence. The nomination of such man is little
short of an insult to the honest and int Iligent
sentiment of the country.
20. The restoration of Democracy to power
would be the restoration of evils that have
well nigh destroyed the nation; the re,tora.
ton Of men that have nc claim on loyal pes
pie; the reputation Of the results Of the war;
the elevation Of those who sndeavored TO de-.
stroy the Onion. and the degr sdation sf tAcss
who risked their ;ives to protect It.
These are but few Of the tie ns u the coun:
against Democracy. Its Shortcomings sbLs
In power would I'll volume. ATTY one Of ,bs
reasons given above ought to be sufficient TO
defeat its rresent effort to gain possession Of
the Govern ment. We call upcI loyal citizen,
to do their whole duty in the prsseri :truggie,
and to defend the Union in 1876 - sHse,pally
as 1t was defended 10 1851.

Reasons why Tilden Should Not be
Elected.

For the following good and sufficient rea-
sons Samuel j. Tilden should not be elected
President of the United States:
1. Prior to 1851, he was in full sympathy,
personal and political, with those Southern
leaders who conspired to destroy the Union.
2. He encouraged rebellion In 1860 and 1861
by declaring that the Government had no con-
stitutional right to coerce the South into obey
ing laws.
3. He made false return of his income In

THE cAMr-r1REs of patriotism are lighting
up everywhere. The loyal people are awake
to the necessities of the hour, and are rallying
to the defense of the old flag as never before.
Keep 1t upl Put forth every effort to make
the victory the completest in our history.
Democracy is already on the retreat. If Our
friends work energeticallY we shall make the
defeat an utter rout

Our PUBLIC CREpIT.-The Democratic plat
form demands reform In order to restore the
public credit. The promptness with which
the capitalists of this and other countries take
the profered loan of $500, zoo, 900 at four and
q half per cent. looks as if our public credit
wasin most excellent condition. AS 1t stands
better han ever before IN our history It is not
likely that term OF Democracy could i'm.

The National Credit Under Demo.
cratic Rule.

The statement that the Buchanan Admins
tration borrowed money at 10 per cent. has
been challenged repeatedly by Democratic
speaker and writers. This is sheer folly. The
fact that a small loan of $40, 200, 900 could be
obtained only in dribiets, and at rates of inter-
est ranging from to IL per cent. per annum,
is a matter of official record, running through
several Of the annual reports of the Treasury
Department. (see Finance Report for 1874,
pages 40 and 49, The authorized loan was

The facts SUNNI ariZeQ are:
l. That Samuel j. Tilden, trustee of tn,
st. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute Railroad
Company, appointed to reorganize the same
Issued bonds amounting to over S2S4, 900, O
which neither himself nor his colleagues hay,
given an account to the stockholders.
2. That he received S20,0 for his service
In recognizing" the company, the none,
being appropriated to him by three othe
trustees.
3. That the stockholders have never re
ceivcd from him or his three associates an,
facts in relation to the issue of the surplu
bonds.
4. That when a delegation of their numbe,
came to this city some years ago to examine
him they found that he had gone to Europe.
5. That he has persistently evaded al
questions in relation to the issue Of tn,
bonds.
6. That by sharp practice he has kept of
the trial of the case for long period, delaying
his answer, which does not go the merits O
the case, to accomplish that end.
Mr.. Tilden was one of the counsel who ad
vised the very thing that shocked the Who'll,
country with the enormities of the wrong anG
the extent of the robbery involved In the
transactions of the Credit Mobilier. Mr.. JohI
b. Alley testified as follows before the Con
gIessional investigating committee:
Q. And further, ! understood you to SAY
shat you were instructed by eminent counsel
upon whose advice you relied, that the course
you took was compliance with the lawi
A. Yes, sir.

The exposure OF the doings of the ring be-
gan in the New York Times in 1869, but it
was not until October, 1871, month after
the grand reform demonstration at the Cooper
Institute, which he declined to attend-not
until the ring was tottering to its downfall,
and its complete overthrow was but question
of hours, that Tilden became convert to the
cause OF reform.

What Wen Know Aboa. Sweeping.

The following gentle hint appears in the
Women's Centennial paper:
"When a woman does her sweeping in the
morning, brushing the dust into little
MOUNDS in parlor and halls, and then leaves
IL there al day for the children to kick
about, and for each wait of air to scatter IL
again in all directions, we say 1t is wretchei
housekeeping.
when the city does its sweeping in the
early morning, and leave acknowledgement
mounds OF dust for the cars To run over, and
for pedestrians 10 walk into, and for the
wind to blow into our eyes,we pay our taxes
ard submit to the nuisance, because nobody
may criticise the housekeeping of men,"
Perhaps the above was written In WASH
ington. 1t certainly hits Off the style of
street sweeping here very effectively. But
possibly the contractors in some other
American cities leave the sweepings in
heaps 10 be scattered again by wind or rain.
