he means concerning civil service, second

Mr.. Tllden means it is only because you
have got more brains than have, but
you don't look It. Mr.. Tilden is very
able man; therefore, I hold that he could
have made himself understood. Why
didn't he? Because one.half Of his party
believe in one thing and the othet half in
another, I suppose, and Il was necessary

Is not vague. He is In no hurry to have

TO serenade from the Union cornet
band on Tuesday evening, he addressed a
small audience OF the townstolks from
the portico Of the Union Hotel. His
speech was an exhortation to Democrats
10 stand by the party and roll up q
strong majority in its favor. No Demo-
crat, be said, could be in his right senses
who fails 10 vote for his party, and
he reminded his hearers that Proyi'
dence fayors the strong, This maxim
OF the Great Napoleon must have
been the guide Of the venerable
gentleman's lie career; for he has ever
piously worshipped at The shrine OF ap-
parent asoendancy. Mr.. Faulkner, we
were pleased to observe, enjoys a green
old age, and his marked bonhOmV,ie sug'

the Senatorial mantle fall upon Chas. ],
Faulkner, our State will have had the
honor OF contributing Tallyrand to the
eventful forty-fiith Congress.

duced to the audience and for more than
an hour held the closest attention OF bis

1t was simply grand in It's eloquence,
convincing in its logic ard argument,
while through 1t all ran vein Of humor
and sarcasm that kept HIS audience in the
best humor and elected peals Of laughter.
He made many strong points, and his
manner Of illustration was very pointed,
yet given in such a humorous way that
the most bitter partisan could not take
ofepse. His speech did great deal OF
good here, and our people are satisfied
now, those that heard HIM, with the
change OF speakers, although all would
have been glad to have heard the brilli-
ant Fitzpatrick. Updegraff, il he ever
comes this way again, may be sure OF a big
crowd.

by the associated press with the vote of 1874 pro-
duce an average gam Of only 10 in a town which
would fall 1000 short of overcoming the demo

obviously been laundering somewhere and il is
possible that only an official count will determine
the result. There is however no important DIFF
ference between the total net republican gains on
the vote Of 1872 reported at the republican head
quarters and what the democrats figure up. Both
results establish an average gain to precinct
which will owe re ome Hendricks ma rty and elect
Harrison. The consolidated returns received by
the republican committee show a net republican
gain OF l42j on the vote of 1872.

Riverside , Sept. 20.

The democrats about town we're a happy set
yesterday; never since they fred those hundred
guns for the democratic victory in North Carroll
ma (Which turned out TO be a republican triumph
after the guns were fred), have they been so ella
ted. They were freely offering their money, or
pretended to do so, and for time they had their
"hurrah boys all their own way in the streets.
They assembled about the office Of the Standard
in high spirits, as also the post office parceling
out the different official positions. But the after
noon news put different phase on the matter
and the streets were full of jubilant republicans.
Never was there sicker looking set of politicians
than the democrats, the reaction was so sudden
and 80 terrible; and the more sensible OF them
