forth to defend his country. He was four
times wounded on the battle field, had four
horses shot under him, and, singular coinci-
dence, has killed off three Democratic Gov
errors, and is going to kill off Democratic
President"
This is magnificent record. Although con-
densed into eight lines, /; could be easily elab-
GRATED into an octave volume.
While Hayes was thus demonstrating his
heroism and love Of country, what was Tilden
about2
In 1851 Gov. Tilden, was. asked to sign call
for Union meeting. But he refused.
While rich and poor were emptying their
Golfers to aid the Cow rnment, Gov. Tilden de-
clined to contribute farthing.
Whites Hayes was saying that "any man
that left the field to canvass for Office should
be scalped," Tilden was hand in-g glove with
ballot-box suffers to secure political power for
his party.
While Hayes was shedding his blood for the
dear old flag, Tildeu was sympathizing with
and playing into the hands of traitors by try
ing to embarrass the Government and discour-
aging the brave men who were fighting for
their country.
While Hayes was ready to fight until every
armed traitor was whipped, Tilden was Offer
ing and advocating resolutions in a Democratic
convention declaring 'the war failure and
demanding that Kit should cease"
When, at the close of the war, Hayes pro-
ceeded to make an honest living by honest
means, a million of dollars were embezzled
from the st. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute
railroad, and Tilden is charged with the act,
and asks until October to make answer.
This contrast could be extended indefinitely,
but the law holds "cruelty to animals" an I'M
nardnnahle of1ense in hot weather.

Cleaning to Greeley. Nor did any appear
cat frequent subsequent interviews MIR.
"CIapp, as is well known to members of
"the Senate. was not only opposed to the
"Greeley movement, as an attempt to
"break up the Republican party by pre-
"tended friends for the sole purpose of
Cheating Grant, but he was constantly
"laboring for Grant denomination and re-
"electiou in 1872, as the Fonly sure means
"of cementing the party and insuring its
"success. l have no idea that the ISLANDERS
"of the Chronicle will have the slightest
"infiuence upon the mind of the President,
"because their object is too transparent.
Nevertheless, think it well enough to
"refute them for the benefit of those who
"may not have had the same means and
incentives of old personal and political
friendships to aid in keeping memory
"green that have influenced me-"
As We have said before, there can be no
doubt as to the recollection of the writer of
the above. His relations with the Senator
and Mr.. Clapp both had been for years of
the most friendly character. He was neither
an officeholder nor lobbyist. He had not
then, nor has he now, any apparent object
to serve in writing the above beyond those
of friendship and justice. We have no
doubt that what he states are the simple,
unvarnished facts. If Mr.. Clapp has sue
ceeded in vindicating his conduct as pub
lie officer to the satisfaction of the Senate
against the charges and ISLANDERS of the ex-
Confederate Democratic House, it would
appear to be a little ungracious in the Re-
publican press, of which he has been an
honored member for thirty years, to volun-
teer bis condo mnation for lack of orthodoxy
in political practice. If he is to be con-
demned let it be for sins committed, and
not be made the victim of malignant and
venomous ISLANDERS.

MALICIOUS ISLANDER REFUTED.

A contemporary makes a fierce onslaught
upol the "Republicanism" of Mr.. Clapp
as a reason why he should not be selected
by the President to fill the new position of
Public Printer. If he is not true Repub-
licaD, he should not be appointed. While
we do not know Of any special reason why
We should want Mr.. Clapp appointed Pub
lie Printer, the general reason assigned by
most active and jealous members of the
Republican party for the appropriateness of
his appointment is found in the orthodoxy,
genuineness and purity of his Republican
ism. There may be Democrats and ex-
rebels in the printing office for aught we
know, both male and female, but if so, they
are vouched for by Republicans, at whose
solicitation they have bean appointed.
There is no doubt that Senator Fenton and
Mr.. Clapp were formerly the best Of per-
sonal and political friends, but we happen
to have occasion to know that there was
never any hesitation on the part of Mr..
ClaIp when the question arose between
Grant and Greeley in 1872.
An old BuffalOnian writes US as follows
on this point, and he is man for whose
Veracity we can avouch in the most EN-.
phatic manner. He says: II see the
" Chronicle accuses Mr.. Clapp with having
chad such strong friendship for Fenton,
"in 1872. as to have wavered in his sup
"port of Grant, and even inclined to the
Support of Greeley until after the result
"of the October elections of that year sig
Unified that Grant would be reelected.
"This is not true. l recollect very well
"meeting Senator Fenton Just after bis re-
"turn from Cincinnati and previous to the
Endorsement of Greeley and Brown In
Baltimore. We were old fellow Repub-
"licans and personal friends, and we
talked of the nomination at Cincinnati.
t'He asked my opinion of it. Oh
''said, I would choose Mr.. Greeley of all
"other men in the world to edit the
Tribune, but God bless you, Mr.. Fenton,
"what qualifications has he for the posi-
elton of Executive OF this great nation?
Il cannot support him for that office
We'll, " replied the Senator, see how
ait is The thing has come
"upon you too suddenly, but You
Twill be all right by and by We
separated, and very shortly after
wards met with Mr.. Clapp aud related
"to him my interview with the Senator.
"He said that he, too, had hal an interview
with him, and found him so entirely wed
"ded to Greeley and the belief that the
"CinciDnati nominations would succeed

"pany with him after years OF the closest
''intimGcY. He said FentOn had said to
chin that it would be of no use for him
"(Clapp) to stand out, for he could not
"help but come in and support Greeley,
"his lifelong editorial friend, at last. But

In his letter of acceptance we predict
that Tilden will not touch upon the railway
and water routes or cheap transportation
question. They are too full of meaning for
him. His onslaught upon the New York
canals was no doubt more inspired by his
rival railway interests than from any hatred
he had for fraud. The idea Of the inventor Of
the Credit Mobilier and consolidation
schemes having any real enmity to frauds
upon public works is too ridiculous for
serious consideration. Mr.. GodwIn's
"wcrd' of five columns is failure. 1t is
evidently an attempt on the part of the old
journalist to enact the role of John-the-
Baptist to Tilden. 1t was designed to fore
shadow the great and long-expected letter
of acceptance. In this respect 1t is no
doubt success. 1t is probably better
case than Tilden will be able to make out
for himself

ELSEWHERE We print c4ustic and
truthful letter from the late Board of
to which we wish to invite the attention Of
the taxpayers of the District. Although it
was written last May, shortly after the ap-
pearance in print of the Judges proposed
Audit of this District to Judge B Ickuer,
report on D strict affairs, it has never be-
fore been published. Perhaps the Judge
did not deem its publication necessary in
view of the fact that his report was not
adopted by his committee, and what he
may possibly have considered as a reflec-
ton upon his judgment in constituting law.
Anyhow, it is quite interesting reading

Mr.. PARKE GOODWIN. disingenuously
