DE Witt G.. Littlejohn, a prominent
Democrat of New York and formerly
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, said before the st. Louis conven-
ton: II do not think Mr.. Tilden has
the first qualification to make a good
President. He is not statesman, but
a political trickster. As did many
others, who like myself, have changed
their minds about the man since, orig
inally put full faith in his promised
policy of reform, but it has turned out
to be nothing more than CONVENIENT
cloak under which he could scheme and
plot for his own personal aggrandize-
ment."

Reunion OF the Ninth Indiana YOlun-
teers.

At meeting of the officers and ma
ny of the comrades of this regiment,
held at Michigan City on the 2lst Of
June, it was resolved to call reunion
of the old regiment, to be held at La
Porte ON Thursday, the 18th day of
September, for the purpose of reviying
old memories and bringing together
again for he interchange of greetings,
the officers and men of "a regiment who
shared together the trials and dangers
of more than four years active service
in the late war. 1t is to be hoped that
every surviving member of the regi-
ment who can possibly join his COM
rades on that day will be present. Ev-
cry preparation will be made that will
serve to make the reunion all that
could be desired. Comrades who may
see this notice will please give notice to
others i'm their localities.
The papers in all the counties where
companies were raised for this regiment
will confer favor by publishing this
call.

How ridiculous is the arraignment of
various prominent men by the Demo
cratic platform is illustrated by the case
of Mr.. Colfax. "When the annals of the
Republic show the disgrace and censure
of a Vice President" etc., etc., says
that document, 1.-THE demonstration is
complete that the first step in reform
must be the peoples choice Of honest
men from another party"
Now it so happens that the very Pres
ident of the convention which adopted
the above gave the lie to it in an editor
ial which appeared in his paper, the Lou
isrille Corier-Jomndl, of March 10,
1873. The South Bend Tribune reprints
this article, which is as follows:
We have taken the trouble TO review
carefully the case Of Mr.. Colfdr, as recOr-
del az the congressional Investigation,
and compare 1t with the elaborate de-
Tense delivered by the late Vice Presi-
dent at South Bend last Saturday. The
result of our research is, that he has Qir-
en- successful and satisfactory erpldnd-
ton Of the entire matter. 1t will require
a closer analysis than that which we
have made, or are capable of making.
to alter our opinion that, IA his bush
ness Mr.. Colfdr has been rery much a6etS-
ed and DrOnqed, and we are the reader
to allow this since we have never been
tempted, and could not be induced 10 sac
riice tic prirate character Of any man 10
partisan interest or prejudice. In doing
what we believe to be an act Of personal
justice, ere desire 10 be full, explicit and
,ngrudging,
But the Democratic Convention was
not so particular as Mr.. Watterson.
1t was ready to sacrifice the private
character of anybody to partisan inter
est, and so it uttered its gross Islander
against all, guilty and innocent alike

A speaker at the Dayton ratification
meeting paid the following handsome
and deserved tribute to Governor HAYES
II have known Governor Hayes in
timately for more than than twenty
years, and the better have known the
more | have | loved, honored and es-
teemed him. Too solid and substantial
to be snowy, too honest and too earnest
to be flippant, too modest and self-re-
Specting to strain after effect or strive
for place or power, by the sole aids of
of this sound Judgment, his great abili-
ties, and his lofty character, he has pro
ven equal to any position to which he
has been called, aud "a full match at
least for any antagonist against whom
he las been pitted. He has not stood
in the lists like gladiator, with the air
defying all corners, but when invited or
forced into the contest no adversary has
withstOod him. He was born under
the lucky star of common sense, and
this is the great secret of his success,
whether in private or public life.
Rounded and complete in his moral and
intellectual constitution, Rutherford b.
Hayes has always preferred rathd rath-
er to win the confidence of his country
men by the spotless integrity of his
character and the wisdom of his con
duct, than to gain tickle and ephreme-
raj applause by the brilliancy of his gen.
ius, or to battle their fancy by meretric-
ious and shallow exhibition of superb
cial smartnsss.''
