II sometimes takes a long while TO con-
vince certain people that they are the victims
OF fraud and false pretence. They think they
arc too sharp to be gudgeons for any ones bait,
and their pride is offended at the idea that they
are actually sauirming on the nook. This has
been the case with some Of the few remaining
readers OF JAY GoULD's Tribune. They would
not believe that the Wall street shark and his
stool pigeon were making fools Of them ; that
the ne wspapcr they fancied was relgiousy de-
voted TO truth and virtue, was all the time
a venal sheet, destitute. OF principles, and
earnest: only In stock jobbing. Now their
eyes begin TO open. They see the Tribune
which year ago was loud in praise Of Gov.
TILDEN, turning square around and feebiy fol-
lowing the lead of the far ADLER Times in its as
saults on thee private character of the stool
pigeons late hero. What Is the reason Of this
Because JAY GoULD's Tribune could not black
mail Gov. TILDEs, who II too wise and honest
a man to mako any such bargain.

Tho Herald does not think the letter
which Mr. ALFRED L. LEE, private secretary OF
Gov. HAYES, wrote to the American Alliance
on July 10 indicates any commitment OF HAYES
to the ideas and policy Of the Alliance. II was
a mere courteous act, says our contemporary,
and nothing else. But what does the Herald
understand by the promise which Gov. HAYES
desired Mr.. LEE to make in his behalf that lat
the proper time references will be given you to
committees for such aid and cooperation as seems
to be advsable2" II this does not promise that
Mr.. HAYES Will act with the Alliance, and will

Mr.. HENRY b. ADAMS and his associ-
ate retired from the editorship OF the North
Americdn Rerieu with the current, October,
number OF that scholarly quarterly. Their res
ignation Is due to a difference OF opinion on
politics with Mr. osGooD, the publisher. Mr..
OsGooD, IL seems. objected TO the publication
Of tho article 10 this number entitled The
Independents in the Canvass from which we
make extracts showing that II reaches the
conclusion that the election OF Gov. TIL
DEN offers greater pledges OF reform than
that OF Gov. HAYES. The article, which
was written by MIR. CHARLES FRANCIS
ADAMS, Jr., was not signed. Mr. OsGooD
refused as publisher to take the responsibility
Of It. The efor9 the editors resigned and
though the article Is printed in the number. Mr..
OsGooD's firm publish an announcement with
It that they do not commit the review to its
opinions. Mr.. ADAMS has treated his subject
impartially, extensively, and In spirit
which shows an earnest desire to attain
tho truth, on whichever side II may lie
His conclusion that Gov TILDEN Is, Of
the two candidates, the ore only who
can accomplish the desired reform in the ad-
mnistTation Of the Government, Is based on the
experience Of our politics and on common
sense. We are sorry that editors so well lifted
have been forced to retire from their places out
they leave after having given the readers OF our
venerable quarterly body Of sound political
doctrine, ana the consciousness Of that fact
cannot fail to MAKE them content.

Colorado and Georgia.

The Republicans claim to have carried
Colorado by n small majority though the
result Is still in doubt, ev,ral OF the re-
mote counties not having yet been heard
from. Colorado wns created Ter
ritory I'm 1862, and at every cleo
lion since then has gone Republican, except
In 1874. But this latter event meant nothing,
FOR in that year pretty much everything
went Democratic, even old Massachusetts
elcctiug a Democratic Governor and send
Ing to Congress a number of members hos
tile to GRANTS Administration. Neverthe-
les, the Republicans are shouting them
selves hoarso over Colorado. When the
HAYES party can find nothing TO keep
their spirits up except successes in Yer
mont Maine, and Colorado, they must be
quite down In the mouth.
on Wednesday Georgia held an election
for state officers. As IT was purely state
contest. the utmost stretch OF an uuconsti-
tutional law would not enable Grandtsfher
TAFT to employ Dos CAMERoN's myohets
TO determine the result. The consequence
is that universal peace and 5000 ORDER pre-
vailed; and as u liberal sharcoi the coiored
voters voluntarily supported the Demo-
cratic ticket. Of course il Is chosen by IA
heavy majority.
1t always so happens that when the Fed

considerable masses of the cUlored men

The Post Office Machine.

We have already noticed the fact that
speech of Gen. j. w. TUTTLE, pur-
porting TO have been delivered at Re-
publican gathering Mt Des Monea Iowa,
was published as part of the Con-
gressional matter in the Record, is
sued from the Government Printing
once, and distributed throughout the
country franked, with the connivance
of TYNER, tho Postmaster @ General, and
the completely of Postmaster EDMuNDs at
Washington.
TYNER is not so well known to the peo-
pie as EDMUNDs, who has been so SER
vile and debased tool that nobody
gives him a thought. Yetif TYNER Is capa-
bic of an honest act, politically, or decent
administration OF his department, we have
done him great injustice in our opinion.
But his present double fraud OF printing
and OF free circulation are only superven-
ing acts to the original falsehood.
FUTILE never made this speech lie
went upon the stand at Des Moines,
and in nc of abstraction supposed
himself holding a prairie plough, with
draught of four yoke of stags, ana
soliloquized before his audience. 1t
was iucoherent and redolent OF the hog
pen and cattle yard, and perchance had
an aroma of the cotton field and the gin.
The disjointed product was licked into
shape by URRET CLARKsoN. editor Of the
Register who was, and we think is now, the
Postmaster of Des Mones FUTILE Ia
not capable of making a speech. He is an
unlettered hind. Rufiianism was II need of
the war, and he furnished II. lie did some
good fighting, aud for that we praise him
as we would the master cur Of a dog fight.
During tho last year OF the rebel
lion he commanded the post of Natchez,
Miss, and there he became an anna
teur of cotton growth. We never
saw his cash balance after he re-
turned to Iowa, but 1t is generally be-
leved to have been rather pleasing to the
avaricious eye. No ornament of sars on
shoulder can redeem his military infamy.
If the Pos tmaster G eneral was worth tn c
dignity of an impeachment, he deserves it
by the act of examining the mail bags
with Illicit free matter. If his sub-lieuten-
ants, EDMuSps and HOLLOWAY, were en-
titled to the dubious courtesy OF q boot
they should be kicked from their posi-
tons. There should be an end to this
official assumption aud insolence. 1t is full
time that this Administration, in its de-
nance OF Constitution and law, should
halt for breath previous to being turned
out altogether.

had borne a foremost part, and the subject Of

IndeceuI Journalism.

The Davenport Gazette is edited and
controlled By Edward Russell, Sunday
school leader, church member, an apostle
of temperance, and o supposed embodi-
ligion, but it tells more outrageous, villain
Gus, and malicious falschoods than any
paper that comes to our table, and when
exposed it never makes a correction. Ii
is not, therefore, with any expectation
that it will correct its falsehood that we
proceed to expose its latest one. Thi.
morning, it says:
Samuel j. Tilden was chairman OF the "peact
at any price" copperhead convention Of 1864 which
nominated Geo. b Mcclellan.
} The Democratic national convention O.
1864, was called to order by Aug. Bel
mont, said to be an opponent of Tilden
Gov Bigler, of Pa, was nominated a
temporary chairman, and elected. AM
Gov. Seymour, of New York, was tn,
permanent president of the convention
1t will therefore be seen that the Gazett
is guilty of a deliberate and inexcusabl
falsehood.
After its malicious fasehood, the Gozett
proceeds to quote, asa complete resolution
of the convention, what is only part @
the resolution. emitting the beginning ant
ending OF it, and thus carrying an entirel
different meaning from what the resolution
intended, and from what it would carry
quoted in full, as it passed the convention
And yet the pious Edward Russo
probably thinks that such falsehoods an
such garbling and suppression of the trutl
will earn for himself the Republican nomi
nation for congress.
