HAYES AND TILDEN.-The Democrats
have discovered that General Hayes is
an "obscure" man. In point of obscur-
ity, however, he compares favorably
with Mr.. Tilden. General Hayes has
served In Congress, and won the cordial
respect of all who knew him there Mr.
Tilden has never been in the National
Legislature or had the slightest practic-
al acquaintance with the business of the
National Government. General Hayes
has been three times elected Governor
of the great State Of Ohio, and has dur
ing his entire service compelled the adj
miration even of his opponents, who
conld not lay their fingers on dishonest
or weak act in his official conduct.
Governor Tilden has been once elect
ed Governor of New York, and was re-
Gently pronounced humbug by large
majority of his own party friends. Pre-
vious to his election to the post, Mr..
Tilden was conspicuous solely as the
figure head of the Tammany Party, of
which Tweed was the actual manager.
While he was serving in that capacity,
General Hayes was fighting faithfully,
bravely and with distinguished success
in the Union Army.

take the place of peace-loving and law
abiding social life. All parts of the
Constitution are sacred, and must be
sacredly obseryed-'the parts that are
new nc less than the parts that are old.
The moral and material prosperity of the
Southern States can be most etfectually
advanced by a hearty and generous re-
cognition OF the rights of all, by all; ga
recognition without reserve or eXcep-
ton With such a recognition fully
accorded, it will be practicable to pro
mote, by the influence of all Legitimate
agencies of the General Government, the
efforts of the people of those States to
obtain for themselves the blessings of
honest and capable local government
If elected / shall consider it not only my
duty, but it will be my ardent desire, to
labor for the attainment of this end.
Let me assure my country men of the
Southern States that if I shall be charg-
ed with the duty of organizing an adj
ministration, it will be one which will
regard and cherish their truest interests,
the intrests of the white and the colored
people both and equally, and which will
put forth its best efforts i'll behalf of a
civil policy which will wipe out forever
the distinction between North and South
in our common country.
With a civil service organized upon
system which will secure purity, exper
fence, efficiency, and economy, strict
regard for the public welfare solely
in appointments, and the speedy,
thorough, and unsparing prosecution
and punishment of all public officers
who betray official trusts, with sound
currency, with education unsectarian
and free to all, with simplicity and
frugaity in public and private affairs,
and with a fraterpal spirit of harmony
prevailing the people of all sections and
the second century of our existence as
patton will, by the blessing of God, be
pre-eminent as San era of good feeling"
and period of progress, prosperity, and
happiness.
Very respectfully, your fellow citizen,
II. B. HAYES.

TILDEN AS A REFORMER.

The Confederates and the enemies of
JAMES q. BLAINE affected to be horror
stricken over what is claimed to be the
discovery of some transactions i'll rail
road bonds and stocks by that distin
guished statesman. They were nearly
frantic at the thought that possibly Mr..
BLAINE might become President. They
demanded honesty and reform with such
loud voices that many were led to think
they were really in earnest, and they
kept up the howl so long that they were
almost self persuaded that they were sim
cere in such demand.
They met at st. Louis-the MORRIS
sEYs, Woods, CoxEs, WINsToNEs, GoU-
DYs, Smiths, together with hosts of les
ser bummers, baltothox suffers, and
defaulters, and nominated candidate.
They arraigned in their resolutions, Vice
Presidents, Speakers, Cabinet officers,
members of Congress Senators, and
Foreign Ministers for all manner of evil
practices and crimes, and then pro-
ceeded to nominate SAMUEL j. TILDEN
for President.
An examination of the record and
practices Of this man Will not only give
the lie to all their loud pretences of re-
form and love of honesty, but it will
show, before the half is told, that Mr..
TILDEN, the candidate of these Con-
federate hypocrites is and always has
been manipulation of corrupt rings and
corruptionists--the associate and friend
of political thieves; the companion and
adviser of the TwEEDs of the country
lobbyist, and the attorney of railroad
swindlers; and that he has grown i'm
mensely rich by such life. The
p6a of hn of try
show that he has been counsel and man
aging man for corrupt men, who, under
cover of legal proceedings, have COB
bled railroads, bankrupted stockholders,
and divided the plumber. He has been
a speculator, ringster, and o manipu
lator of transactions "off color" all his
days. He has been prominent among
the worst class of politicians and corrupt
ionists- those Of New York City-for
many years. During all the years of
TwEED's rule and infamy TILDEN was
his friend. Tammany was long the
church in which he worshiped, and
though nominally opposed to his NOM
nation, now, all the bleared- eyed, short
haired, and broken-nosed worshipers at
that temple of infamy, headed by Boss
KELLY, are shouting for TlLDEN. This
is but partial statement in general
terms of the record of the man whom
these ''reformers' would make Presi-
dent.-POst and Mail.

In another column will be found the
frank and manly letter of Gov. Hayes,
accepting the nomination for President
rendered to him by the National Repub-
lican Convention at Cincinnati, which
is commended to the sound Judgment of
the American people. His views upon
the appointing power of the President
and Civil Service reform will meet the
approval of every true patriot. He de-
clares himself squarely in favor OF the
one term principle, and states it to be his
indexible purpose if elected never to be
a candidate for reelection for a second
term. In relation to the financial cues
tion, the most important issue, and per-
haps the only one now before the people,
Gov. Hayes declares that the resump-
ton of specie payments is the only
method by which return of national
prosperity can be secured, and the
longer it is delayed the greater will be
the injury inflicted upon ''our economical
interests and all classes of society.'' He
would have a ''civil service organized
for purity, experience, efficiency, and
economy; the speedy and unsparing pros
ecution and punishment of all public
officers who betray official trusts; sound
currency; education untrammelIed by
sectarianism, and free to all the people;
simplicity and frugality in public and
private affairs, and a paternal spirit of
harmony prevailing all sections and all
classes

sstruthful," and as the editor is Dem
ocrat, publishing paper for Democrats,

party and principles, what he feels COM
PEELED to say against TILDEN will be
read with interest as an honest confess
sion of facts that cannot be conscient-
iously concealed any longer. The Dem
ocrat of June 10, said:
But now that the heartless corruption
ist, dishonest intriguer, overbearing
aristocrat, railroad monopolist, arrant
shyster, unprinciple Know Nothing,
pseudo Democrat, and corrupt tool of
money power, is practically out of the
Presidential race, it may not be amiss
to say that had the Democratic party
not spewed him forth as poisonous
thing, it would undoubtedly suffer a
signal defeat next fall, and be hopeless
ly destroyed. OF this there is not a
shadow of shade of doubt All that
have known Tilden regard him as a
small, mean, selfish, egotistical, cunning
INSCRIPTIONS man whose nomination
would be national calamity, and whose
election would be an utter impossibility
He is despised in New York, and Blaine
OF Conkling would carry the State
against him by large majority. The
leading Democrats of the State are against
by large majority. The leading Dem
ocrats of the State are uncompromising
IN their opposition to the nomination of
TILDEN-and would oppose him under
all circumstances. Journal.

Previous to the st Louis Convention,
no one except Gov. Iilden was more
prominently discussed in connection
with the Democratic nomination than
Judge Davis. There is no doubt that
he would have received Sarge vote if
his name had been presented to the Con-
vention, but in compliance with his ex-
plicit orders, it was not. And now
Judge Davis has written letter from
Bloomington, ILL.,, where he resides, to a
friend in Washington, announcing I'M
quf.lifiedly his purpose to vote for Hayes
and Wheeler. He says that the nomi-
nation of Gov. Hayes ought to be entire
ly satisfactory to the Liberal Republicans,
and an assurance that the civil service
will be purified and every needed reform
faithfully Carried out Under the cir
cumstances he advises the Liberals to
give their support to the Republican
ticket The influence of Judge Davis
expression cannot fail to be great
throughout the Union.

The declaration of principles by the
Cincinnati Convention makes no an
nouncement in favor of single Presi-
Dental term. I do not assume to add
to that declaration; but, believing that
the restoration of the civil service to the
system established by Washington and
followed by the early Presidents can be
best accomplished by an executive who
is under no temptation to use the pat
ronage of his Office to promote his own
reelection, desire to perform what I

A STRANGE OUTRAGE.

Special Telegram to the Inter Ocean.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, Nov. IA most
villainous attempt was made at 8
o'clock tonight to steal the body Of
President Lincoln from the Lincoln
monument. Something Of this kind
has been suspected for some time,
and strict watch has been kept. 1t
was thought that tonight would be
selected for the job, and Elmer Wash
burn, with detective Tyrrell and as
sistants, was secrsted in the recep-
ton room Of the monument await
ing what might come. The scoun-
drels broke into the outer and inner
doors of the vault, and had opened
the sarcophagus and case containing
the remains, when the detectives
sprang from their hiding places.
The accidental discharge of q pistol
alarmed the robbers, and they fed
into the adjacent woods and were
lost in the darkness. Slight clue re-
mains to their identity, but they
will likely be discovered. They
were four or five in number, and are
from a distance. They had all the
necessary tools, which were left be-
hind In their fight.

FRENCH story: Detected in Paris,
with their pockets crammed full Of
distracted articles, the Baroness and
two daughters made no attempt to
deny their guilt, and were conse-
quently brought to trial, the mother
being sentenced to two years i'm
prisonmeut, while the daughters
were acquitted. These ladies be-
ionged to the proudest aristocracy
of France, the mother being SO lofty
ia her ideas that she refused to visit
"a former acquaintance because she
had lowered herself by espousing q
person in trade. Being too poor to
purchase such dresses for her daugh-
ters as would enable them to make
an appearance in society in accord
ance vita their station, she unfortu-
nately adopted this nefarious method
of supplying their wants. The
whole affair ended as tragically as
possible. The mother died, broken
hearted, in prison few weeks ag +.
One OF the daughters was engaged
to be married, and her bethrotned
.obly lent her the aid of his pr, 5
ence and support all through the
trial, never leaving her side til the
verdict was pronounced. The en-
gagement was booken OF, both girls
entered convent of the very strict
est order, and the young man has
suddenly changed from gay and
elegant society beau into confirm
ed old bachelor.
