1t is noticeable fact that Gen. N.
T. Banks, who supported Greeley in
1872, Prof. Seelye, and indeed every
other liberal Republican. member of
he present Congress, have declared
for Hayes and Wheeler. There is not
one OF them who supports Tilden and
Hendricks. Gen Banks has taken
he stump, and we are glad to learn
intends to,make few speeches in Wis
consin. He spoke few evenings
since In Waltham, Mass, with power
full effect, for there are few more con-
vincing or forcible takers in the coun-
try. In the light of events as they
have transpired within the past few
months in Congress he contended that
the Democratic party is controlled by
Its worst elements ; that, should Til
den be elected President, he could not
be reformer even if he desired to be,
because the hungry and reckless poll
tic1ans of the party throughout the
country would insist upon recognition
and would "run things" and that his
election would restore the Southern
secessionists to power in the Govern
ment. On the latter point he said:
Elevate the Democratic party to pow
er, with its present following, and you
open the door to the old rebel element
and subject the Government to danger
from it, and undo the work of the
years following the war. - -ea 81

Seymour Declines.

Ex-Governor Seymour declines the
democratic nomination for Governor of
New York, and all the coaxing of the
Tildenites is unavailing to make him
"stick" as candidate. Seymour gives
failing health as the cause Of his de
cliuation. 1t is undeniable that Mr.
Seymour's health is not very good, but
il is more than limited at that the prin-
cipal reason for refusing to run at this
time is the strong objection he has to
helping along the fallen fortunes OF
Tilden, a man in whom he has but lit
tie confidence, whether as reform
er" or bosom friend of Bill Tweed.
He does not propose 60 play the role of
pulling the chestnuts out OF the fire
for the perjurer, Sam. } Tilden. In
consequence of their failure to keep
Seymour on the track, there is great
CONSERVATION and depression among
the democrats of New York. Even
the most sanguine of them do not now
express any hopes of carrying the State
for Tilden, and New York may be re-
gardcd as almost safe for Hayes and
Wheeler In November.

denomination of Hon. l.. B. Caswell

The denomination of Hon. L. B.
Caswell for Congressman, by the Re-
publican Convention convened at
Madison last Thursday, August 3lst,
was fitting and graceful act on the
part of the republicans of the Second
Congressional District. Mr.. Caswell
has we'll earned the distinction of again
bearing aloft the republican banner to
victory, and under his able and honor
able leadership our success is assured
by largely increased majority over
the vote of two years ago. During his
brief experience in the House Of Rep
resentatives, Mr.. Caswell has gained
an enviable reputation for integrity
and usefulness, and his Congressional
record can be pointed to with just
pride by his constituents. He has met
all questions fairly and squarely, and
watched closely the interests of the
people of the entire district. Mr..
Caswell reflects credit on Wisconsin in
Congress, and the people of the Second
district certainly cannot afford to lose
his valuable services in the House. His
nomination will receive strong ratii-
cation at the polls, and we look for Mr..
Caswell's triumphant election by at
least 1900 majority.

How is This Thus z

The objectionable sin laid at the
feet of Hon. W. S. Greene, at the
Jefferson Convention, by Bird & Com
pany, was that the ex-senator last fall
opposed with some effect the election
of that unmitigated reform" fraud
William r. Taylor, for whose dishon-
esty we have the testimony of Mr..
George W. Bird, to tie effect that
"Taylor had prostituted himself to the
level of a common thief" If this act
Of Mr.. Greene's is so heinous that
Bird y Company cannot accept Mr.
Greene as candidate for Senator, how
do Bird & Company expect to swallow
Judge Orion for Congress, who stood
by MIR, Greene against Taylor and
voted tor Ludington /?

Democratic Endorsements (?) of Til
IfIt fsH den. -9-

The Cincinnati Times, the leading
democratic paper in Ohio, spoke as
follows of samuel j. Tilden. prior to
his nomination, when it was opposing
his candidacy:
There are few facts concerning Mr.. Til
den which we trust will sink into the minds
Of Western and Southern Democrats
He is hypocrite, political
scoundrel, has been public plunderer, and
is really the only Gisreputable candidate
prominently named the democratic side.
If elected he would take to the White
House the worst set of political iobbers and
thieves ever seen in Washington, and that
is saying good deal. 1t could not but be
that man educated in cunning, in hypo-
crisy, and is iniquity, and nominated in
corruption and shameless efrontery, even
though his millions could elect him, would
give us the most corrupt Administration the
country has ever known.
The Times, however, is now eating
crow and supporting Tilden to the best
of its ability. It probably has receiv-
ed some Of the contents of Gthat
bar'l." sa@a
Another democratic paper. P omeroy' S
Democrat, also pays its compliments to
Tilden in terms more emphatic than
complimentary. as follows:
At first Mr. Tilden claimed to be Demo
crat of the willy, smooth-bore, pewter
Drained Van Buren, kind; next he turn G Il
as sour-faced scare-crow in the ranks of
the Barnturners; after that he hobnob BED
with the Free Soil party. attending their
convention at Buffalo and stumping for
them during tie campaign; next he appears
as Chairman of the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee, in which capacity he served
during the halcyou days of Tweedism, pre-
viously, in 1854 he ap cared in this city
as peace-at-any-pr anti-war man; now
he bows himself into notice as a candidate
for the Presidency upon a platform that
differs only in its negations from that of
the Republican party, and be has appro
priated and handed over to his followers the
most effective Republican thunder-the
grand shiboleth of s.reform" 1# -
We might quote to the same effect
from other democratic papers, but this
will suffice as showing what is thought
of Tilden in his own party.

A Bogus Claim.

Great credit is claimed for Illden,
for having while Governor OF New
York, materially reduced taxation In
that state. A clear and concise state
ment, compiled from official records,
appears in the Albany Journal, and
exposes the hollowness of these demo-
cratic pretensions. We have not room
for the Journal article in full, but give
its substance, which is to the effect
that the reduction from the tax of
1875 was due first to the fact that the
Republicans paid over six millions and
third of debt in that year, ($6,337,-
567,) while the Democrats had only to
pay about tbree-quarters Of million,
(S7S9 go the next year This was
no credit to the democrats, but to the
republicans The republicans having
paid the debt, the democrats did not
have to levy taxes to pay it. In the
second place, there was raised in 1875
nearly twelve hundred thousand dol
lars more than was needed, the rate of
tax being calculated on he valuation
Of 1864, and The tax being levied on
the valuation of 1875, which was
higher Of this surplus about one
half million of dollars ($456 1889
was raised to pay debts with, and the
total amount for that purpose was thus
brought to s6,005, O96, which accounts
for all but $4,000 of the alleged
savings. ;" The sum of the whole
matter is that the taxes for running
the Government in 1876 were within
$4,000 as much as in 1875, while the
taxes for paying debts were S6.00O.-
600 less because the republicans had
already pa i'd that amount a

Jesse POmerOy.

BosroN, Aug. Fl The sentence
of Jesse Pomeroy, the boy murderer,
who killed little girls out of sheer
wantonness, was to day committed to
Imprisonment for lite, the Executive
Council voting 6 to 3 10 favor. 1t is
understood that the case of Pomeroy
has been most thoroughly reviewed
and examined by Governor Rice aud
the Council of the present year, and
every known source of information has
been carefully searched for any new
facts or evidence bearing thereon.
This has been done with more regard
to right decision of the case than
from any sympathy with Poneroy him
self, or any sentimental or morbid pal
liation of bis crime. There is no
doubt that the decision is the honest
conviction of those upon whom the
great responsibility of this trying duty
has devolved, Public opinion has
been much divided on the subject, and,
perhaps, with all the knowledge re
specting it which the Governor and
Council possess, this public judgment
would have come to the same result.
At all events, there will be general re-
lief in knowing that the matter is set
tied. Pomeroy will be remanded to
the State Prison and placed i'll cell
by himself, and therein compelled to
labor for his own support. The new
prison now building has several of
these working cells, and to one Of
these, when completed, Pomeray i
be taken, and there end his days
There is little danger that any future
Governor or Council will interpose
pardon in his case, and, as the last leg
islaturs changed the law so as to re
quire the court. instead of the Cover
nor and Council, to fix the day of ex-
ecution in capital cases, we shall n OF
he likely to have a second Pomeroy
case iG Massachusetts.
THE town Of Jefferson casts 500
democratic votes and secured In last
Saturdays convention the nominations
for senator, clerk of the court and

ed with the nomination for the Office
of Coroner. How does that strike you
for fairness, saying nothing about the
policy of such action?

The Watertown Democrat urges as
a reason why people should not vote
for Hayes and Wheeler that ''crops
are failure 1t might have added
that there have been potato bugs this
year and hence that Tilden and the
other fellow should be elected. A
party must be reduced to desperate
straits when 1t can suggest no bet
ter reasons than these why it should
succeed.
SINCE the discovery was made that
Sam. Tilden was the originator Of the
Credit Mobilier" scheme. for which
be was paid fee of twenty five thous-
and dollars by the Union Pacific Rail
road Co., (see Cakes Ames' testimony
10 the report of the investigating COM
mittee in Congress,) the democratic
papers are as whist as mice about the
jobbery and corruption of those en-
gagged in that stupendous fraud. Be-
fore Tilden was nominated for the
presidency, and until they discovered
that be was involved in the disrepu-
table transaction, they were troubled
to find words sufficiently severe for
the expression of their indignation.
Now that Sammy is proven to have
been one of the participants in the
swindling job, they have ceased entire
Iy to comment upon it, because they
do not want to hurl stones at their own
candidates. This may be very dis
Greet, but it is wonderfully inconsist-
ent.
