THE absurdity of the explanation of
Tilden's contradictory oaths respecting
his income in 1862, which has been put
forth by his friends, is very forcibly, as
well as amusingly, set forth in the fol-
lowing paragraph from farmers letter
to the New York Times
They say that man earning $40,
In 1862, for services rendered, part of
which was previous to the date of pay
ment, need give in as income for that
year only about one-fourth the amount
received, because the services were rem
dered prior to that year. Now this
looks reasonable to me, and I am con-
vert to this doctrine. Still may be
selfish in the matter, and have some
times thought the great lawyer might
have been blinded in judgment by the
same weakness. Now what I want to
know is this In 1862 1 sold four steers
off my farm. They were three years old,
and 1 gave in as income the whole
amount received for that year. Now,
you will readily see there was two years
growth previous to selling, consequently
1 should haye given in only for the
growth of 1869. Will you please tell
Iuo how can get the drawbacks
We commend this conundrum to the
consideration of the Manitowoc Tilden-
ties.

Col. GEO. W. CARTER, of Fond du
Lac, was nominated for Congress by the
Republican Convention which met in
Fond du Lac on the 10Th. He was q
soldier in the recent war for the sup
preston of the Rebellion, and the Com
monwealth speaks of him as man of
good abilities and intelligence, and in
corruptible character. This is the kind
of man that some of the Democrats who
are dissatisfied with their candidate have
expressed desire to vote for, and as
Col. Wheeler will make thorough can
yass of the District, the Democratic ma
lority of two years since will be greatly
reduced if not overcome. Should the
Republicans do their duty, the Colonel
will give the General close rub, to say
the least.
Owing to the lateness of the hour, and
the neglect of our delegates to bring a
copy of the Secretary's minutes, we have
no account of the transactions of the
Convention furtl.or than the election of
Mr.. Chas. Luling as Chairman and the
nomination of Mr.. Carter on the eighth
ballot.

REBELLION IN DEMOCRATIC RANKS IN
THE FIFTH DISTRICT.

There is trouble in the Democratic
camp at Fond du Lac. After Bragg had
received the nomination of the Demo-
cracy for Congress, the Commonwealth
contained a communication from "W. +"
highly eulogistic of the nominee as O
man and a soldier, and declaring that
such Bourbon Democrats as FL. l.. Pal
mer, Ct. B. Smith and III. III. Dodd have
greater dislike for such progressive
Democrats as Bragg than they have for
Republicans. This has brought out
reply from 3D." probably Dodd) who
goes for Bragg at a furious rate. He
charges the General with having been
engaged in an INSCRIPTIONS struggle of
twenty years to get into Congress, and
declares that he can never have his Cd. 81
vote for the Office. He then gives his
reasons for his rebellion, which are that
Gen. Bragg is not fit representative of
the Democratic party that he once en-
gagged In forming party of his own, on
anti monopoly and communistic princi-
pies that he is after the loaves and
fishes, and will go with whichever party
will give him the most of these edibles !;
that he as not sound on the currency
question, but is an admirer of the rag
baby that he is not the choice of the
party, but was forced upon it by packed
caucuses that he betrayed Burchard !;
that he insulted the Germans by stigma
tizing them as ''a Dutch cattle show )"
and, in short, that ne has been guilty of
all sorts of political trickery.
CD" then goes on to say that, though
the ''decent element" of the party was
defrauded of their choice, there is
chance for defeating this bad man by
combining all the elements of opposition;
that Notwithstanding 'W." denominated
him Bourbon, he is SO iberalized that
he can both work and vote for good,
honest, hard money Republican against
bad Democrat and bogus reformer.
Now let the Republicans put up such a
candidate, and give cd" and his friends
e. chance to show their honesty and in
fiuence. Bragg, by his own confession,
is tinctured with the paper money her
esy, and there has been quite enough of
that nonsense ir Congress. Will the
Republicans of the Fifth District act on
''D's'' suggestion, and bring out good
''hard money Republican p We hopeso.

THREE REASONS WHY INDEPEN-
DENTS CANNOT SUPPORT
TILDEN.

I. Because his election would mean
| the triumph of soft money. For months
before the nomination Gov. T1den had
begun to weaken on this point, to urge
that the currency question ought to be
kept in the background, to insist that it
was better to get control of the Govern
ment before trying to settle the finances.
BY the time he came to write his letter
he had resolved to go far enough to sat
isfy the infationists. He did satisfy
them. Gen. Thomas Ewing, jr., The
Cincinnati Enquirer, and the whole era
zy crowd who shouted themselves hoarse
in denouncing him before the convention
and sulked in their tents afterward, have
been hearty and enthusiastic ever since
his letter was published. If he surren-
ders to them now in advance, what
would he do as President, when they
had clear majority in Congress?
L. The election of Tilden would
mean the utter defeat of civil service re-
form. He and his party do not propose
to turn out the competents;-they pro-
pose to turn out everybody. Last Win
ter they began by turning out men who,
under all administrations and ali parties
had been held Indispensable because of
their lifelong training for their work.
They filed the most delicate and respon-
sibie places with incompetents, and the
whole capital was overrun with q horde
ofignorant office-hunters. scrambling for
the vacancies that had been created by
wholesale. ''We cannot help it." said
one most intelligent and conscientious of
Democratic congressman. s'These men
and especially those from the South,
are too hungry. No party could resist
them" If such was the invasion pro-
voAed by the paltry patronage of the
House of Representatives, what would
happen with the whole patronage of the
Executive in their hands? Hayes would
turn out the incompetents and the dis
honest. Tilden would turn out every
body, good and bad, would make abso-
lutely every Office in the United States
prize for present party service, and
would thus set back civil service reform
| a quarter of century.
LII. Tilden's triumph would mean the
sectional array of the solid South once
more against the controlling and better
| clement at the North. The country is
not quite prepared for that result of the
war. It would be most injurious to the
South itself, and to the country at large
it would certainly be perilous.-Ex.
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1876-09-21

They seem to feel the anti Tilden wave
out in Ohio, for the Cincinnati CONNER
cial says 1T is pretty clear now that
Hayes will be elected The Democratic
reform movement is playing out. Til
den, as an iron-kearted reformer, does
not bear hammering. He got down
from his high financial horse upon which
he had been mounted in a scientific atti-
tude for forty years when Hendricks
displayed to him the Importance of In
diana. 1t turned out when he and Hen
bricks came together, that he was the
weaker vessel. His special significance
just now is that of the representative of
the solid South in its rush to seize the
National Administration for iobbing
purposes F.; and the people at large are
not prepared to pay the bills of the
Southern Confederaey. The drift of
public opinion is Enthusiastically against
Iilden and solid Southern dictation in
national job-work, and each day will
offer new testimony of tue truth. ;"

THE REAL ISSUE.

The lerse, sharp sentences of Ingersoll
in his great New York speech place the
real issue to be tried at this election
plainly before the people, in a way that
everybody can understand. In the first
place the Democrats ask that they be
judged by their prospectus and not by
their record. They do not want to be
condemned for their treason, treachery
or ingratitude, but ask that the trust of
the nation be confided to them in return
for vague and specious promises. AS a
party, they have ever held that the Unit
ed States was a mere confederation of
independent States, only kept together
by the good will of all, and that any of
them by freak of its Legislature, or by
popular resolve, could end the compact
and shatter the Union. Upon the cur
rency question, difficulty created by
their own treason, the Democrats deal
in vague generalities and dare not APP
proach any definite settlement of the
trouble in their national platform. But
above all, the real question to be put by
every man to-day is which party do you
prefer? Are you willing to confide the
care of government to the South and its
old slave-driving population and politi-
clans, who have been born in the atmos-
phere of slavery and secession, who
showed by their treatment of their own
illegitimate progeny and of Northern
prisoners in their death pens, what their
ideas of human rights were? These
men, after costing the nation four thou
sand millions of dollars and a quarter OF
a million of lives, now ask that upon the
faith of promises utterly at variance with
their life record as men and as party,
they be placed in charge of the interests
of the nation to cure the evils they,
themselves, have created. This is the
whole matter stated in q nutshell. The
details of financial policy are more bit
terly quarreled over by Democrats than
by Republicans. Tilden is on one side
and Hendricks on the other, They had
their way in the present House, and dare
not make move. Why? Because they
would illustrate their own discord. And
to-day their whole campaign stock-in-
trade, is simply vituperation of their OPP
ponents. No Democratic paper or ora
tor dares to define the policy of the par
ty on the economic questions that re-
main to be settled in order to get rid of
the burdens and troubles left us as q
Democratic legacy. In fact they have
no policy but Office, and their growls for
reform are mere articles to conceal the
wolfish hunger for the patronage attach
ing to power. The settlement of ques-
lions of currency, trade, and banking
have to be taken up by Republicans.
They are able to reach definite conclu-
sions, because they represent the honest
debt-paying part of community, and the
representatives of that party will be pre-
pared to adopt such legislation as will
not Cypress the country and will be just
to our creditors. But let no man dream
that Democrats have unity upon any
poir5 except power. Their history in
the present Congress, at the convention,
and in thu campaign so far, shows no
cohesion of party elements except for
Chicago Post.
