In biographical sketch of Tllden's y
life now being published in the Dem
cratic papers, It is stated that he ad-
vised Secretary Chase and his friends
to carry on the war "undeT system
of sound finance" Now, there exists
a bit of history which goes to show
that the old man must have been
joking, and that had he had the war
to carry on be wouldn't have carried
it on at all. See the Mcclellan plat
form of 1864. He was chairman of
the committee that made IL. He then
proposed to hand the country over to
The tender care of the rebels, because
he believed the war was a failure and
that hostilities ought to cease at once.
This sketch of Mr.. Tilden does not
refer to this piece of true history. The
writer was evidently ashamed of it.

Carl Schurz's paper, the VeStiche
Post, st. Louis after denouncing the
Democratic ticket, says Hendricks
de one of the most prominent leaders
and leudest of spokesmen of paper
swindlers, and as such was a demo-
cratic candidate. The nomination of
Hendricks was a matter concerted be-
forehand-a bargain, a sale. bare of
all honor and full of shame; blow
in the very face of all who saw In Til
den the embodiment of honest reform.
For the time being there is an end to
all honest reform on the Democratic
side. and truly independent citizens
who do not believe they can serve
two masters will have to look in an
other direction and centre there"

There has never been a time when
a paper could run strictly in the in
terest of political party and at the
same time maintain its character for
integrity and honesty.-FdHs City
Press.
The Press man simply measures
other peoples corn by his own half
bushel-thst's what's the matter with
him. 1t is that class of papers like the
Press that is the least independent OF
all. The editor of a newspaper who
reflects the spirit and gives tone to
his paper always Of course, like other
people, believes In one side or the
other of the political parties and If he
is really Independent he speaks out in
his columnsjust what he thinks and
believes to be right; but If he lacks
independence. he usually lacks integ-
rity and honesty, and the result is a
hypocritical concern claiming more
virtues than its cotemporaries.

The greatest absurdity that has oc-
CURED within the last hundred years
is the claim of few idiots that Til
den Is a reformer and heads reform
movement. Boss Tweed and Tilden
worked together in the same ring,
and while Tweed is fugitive skulk-
ing from justice, his friends, Morrisey
Kelley and all his old brusiers, bum
mers and ballot suffers, are support
ing Tilden. These thieves with old
Tweed as leader robbed New York of
millions, and now they want to make
one of their number President 80 as to
get hold of the treasury of the Gov
ernment. May our country be saved
from such reformers should be the
prayer of all.

The following resolution was offer
ed In the Cincinnati convention as q
substitute for section No. 4, Of the
platform adopted:
ResoIUed, That 1t is the duty OF
Congress to provide measures for car
rying out the promises of what is
termed the resumption act of Con
gress, to the end that resumption OF
specie payments at the time fixed by
said act cannot be further delayed.

places the Republican party squareIy

AS the result of carful reading of
the st. Louis papers the cOrrespon-
dent of the Daily Graphic says:
"The St. Louis Times, a paper u.s.
ually for sale without a purchaser,
was the first in the country 10 print
the charge against Tilden of purloin-
ing bonds from the Rockford and
Rock Island Railroad. 1t is now In
favor Of Tilden's nomination, while
the old reputable Republican is for
Hendricks"
This is delicate compliment to the
clearness of the Republicans views,
but we may remark, by the way, that
1t was not Rockford and Rock Island
bonds which Tilden purloined. Let
us do the old man justice he never
stole any but first-class securities

Tammany. This class of men by
their votes and election frauds elected
him Governor of New York, and to
those thieves, bummers, and ballot
box suffers do the Democracy, look
to carry New York for him In Novem-
her. This is an item of the record of
the Democratic reform candidate, and
is susceptible of proof to those who
want proof. Candid men will COM
pare old Tiden's record with the
spotless one of Rutherford B. Hayes,
and they will decide which is the
true reformer and which should be
trusted as President.

The sixth plank In the Democratic
national platform, arraigns the Re-
publican party, from a financial
stand point, as follows:
We denounce the financial imbecll-
ity and Immortality of that party
which during eleven years of peace
has made no advance toward resump-
tion, but, instead has obstructed re-
sumption wasting our resources and
exhausting all our surplus income.
The Chicago Tribune in answer to
this, most pointedly and pithily says,
the country sis not looking to Hen
dricks. nor Voorhees,, nor Ewing,
nor Landers, nor Holman, nor Sam
Randall, nor Fernando Wood. All
these have proposed plans which
have been spurned by the country.
The pretense that these men collect
lively have another plan which will
produce the millennium Of prosperity,
but which cannot be disclosed until
after Tilden is elected, Is too trans
parent fraud too much of a confi-
dence-game to deceive anybody OF
any party.
Such is the financial promise given
by the party which proposes to reform
the Government, party that has per-
sistently, since the war closed, op-
posed every measure to sustain the
public credit; which has brazenly
avowed Its purpose to repudlate the
public debt; which has sought to In
fate the currency Indefinitely, and to
make IL permanently irredeemable
which has constantly opposed every
movement to advance the value of
the currency, and which has sought
to reach power by reducing the Gov
eminent and people to bankruptcy.
And this party has the effrontery to
charge the Republicans with imbecil-
ity in not having long since restored
specie payments!
When the war closed, greenbacks
were worth so cents on the dollar.
Since that time they have advanced
to so cents. At the same time the
national bonds were worth only the
same as the currency. They are now
worth lis In gold. Since then the
Republican party has paid over three
hundred millions of dollars of the
public debt since then 1t has repeal
ed taxes that produced S275, 900, 900 an
nually since then 1t has taken up
over FIVE hundred millions of dollars
of bonds bearing 6 per cent. interest,
and funded them at five per cent
since then 1t has given the world as
surance Of the ability and readiness OF
the nation to pay its public debt. All
this has been done, not with the aid
or approval of the Democratic party,
but in spite of It's persistent and ma
lignant opposition. All this is mag
nificent work of preparation for that
final recovery of national credit
which will be completed when the
national currency shall be equivalent
to its nominal value in the recognized
money of the civilized world, and al
this has been accomplished in def
ance of the Democratic party.
