DEMOCRATIC reform is one thing, and
Republican reform is another. The style
of reform practiced by the Republican
party kicks out dishonest officials from
the Government service as soon as their
dishonesty or unfitness is discovered
But when the Democratic party start out
Oh a ''refOrn" campaign, their first step
is to hunt mp the greatest thief and the
most notorious rascal (according to their
own showing) to be found in the cOun-
try, and put him ut the heal of the ticker
| as their candidate for President. And
chem the entire rank and file of the vir-
tuous Democracy, from, the Hon. JOIN,
Morrissey, gambler, prize-tighter, ETC.,
IOwn to the last man in the long train OF
Southern rebels and ncgro-murderers
with a war-clain ilr his fist, fall in ana
80 yelping for reform" Great is Dem
Ocratic reform.

One of the most plausible arguments
now being used on the stump by Demo-
cratic speakers, and addressed particular
ly to the sO-called independent class of
voters and to Republicans who are only
lukewarm in the faith is that wherein
they say: 1.-The Republican party has
been in power sixteen years, and it is no
more than fair that it should now stand
aside and give the Democracy trial. Try
us for four years, and if we do not fulfill
our promise you can again place the Re
publtcans in power" 1t is a most dam
gerOus hercsy, and well calculated to de
ceive. Let the voters to whom such poi
soned,scnteneea are addressed reflect but
moment, and they will have 10 trouble in
tliS..ernind the hook so adroitly concealed
in the bait. Do they not remember that
four long years of devastating war were
required 10 Subluc the Democracy and
place the Republican party in power, and
that nothing less than war could again
oust the Democracy if they should once
obtain control of the Government? IftO-
day that party can succeed, with all its
damning record merely by the use of such
subtle arguments, is it not easy to see how
thoroughly inpregnable it would be if
backed by all the machinery of the Ma
tiOnal Government. Lay not the HatteF-
ing unctiOn to your souls that Il possible
mistake at the ballot-bOX to-day can easi-
| ly be rectiGed Tomorrow. Is it fair.tO pre-
sumo for a single moment that the party
which is now seeking to ride into power
through i policy of Intimidation in the
| South and deception in the North will
ever, in the event of present success, sub
NIT to be peaceably elected when it shall
have resources and power vastly superior
to those now controlled by it? "a
change means the placing of the Gov
ernmeat of this country in the hands OF
men who are using the weapons of des-
peration now in opposition to the laws OF
the country. If such efforts, i'll the face
of an opposing Administration should bt
approved at the ballOt-bOX what may We
not look for when the whole power of tlt
National Government shall be at theiI
command ?--RepubAc.

Gov. hayes at ,I.e centennial.

Yesterday was Ohio's great day. Over
10000 people visited the Centennial
grounds. OfcOurse thousands were drawn
together by a desire TO see and hear Gov.
Hayes. And they were not disappointed.
The Governor appeared, attended by his
staff, and after an appropriate introtluc-
tiOn by Gen. Hawley, male an excellent
speech. 1t was modest, sensible, a1mira-
bly, suited to the place and Cima, and en-
tirely free from anything that bore the
slightest resem blance to Il bid for votes.
He spoke of the growth of the country; of
the springing mp of Ohio, which now has
! 100000 population, out of what Webster
declared was wilderness that had per
petuated itself from century to century
ever siirce the creation; of the remarkiI-
| bic success of the Centennial, and the
| confidence with which he regarded the
| future of our country, E'deStined under
| Providence loug to remain the home OF
| freedom and the refuge of the oppressed -
! There is something pleasing i'll the retic-
ence of Governor Hayes, whose mOdesty
! is equal to his merit, and who never push
es himself into conspicuity; aIrtl it is not 4
| little remarkable that nation of orators
and rhctOricians should almost invariably

Il sppecII-nIaker. The best Presidents have

But the impression Gov. HAYES made yes

Rebel Cnalmss

lfthere is any man who does not be-
lieve that it is the intention of the Demo-
craic purity, if it ever gets into power,to
pay the claims Of the southern rebels for
property used and destroyed during the
rebellion, let him read the following bill,
introduced BY Ii. Z. Riddle, of Tennessee,
in the reform House of RepresrntiveS
last winter, which was read twice, and
then laid away where it could be taken up
and passed whenever the D emocrac
gets into full control. 1t was little too
soon last winter for the actual enactment
of such measure, but its introduction,
and the spirit in which it was received
by the entire Democracy in the House,
WAS intended to encourage hope in the
southern hearts of the ultimate enactment
Of such measures, and to secure the vote
of the "solid south" for TilIeu and ire
form" and If Tilden is elected and the
Democratic party placed in control of af-
fairs, they will be indebted to the f'soIid
SOUTH for at least three-fourth of the
vote that puts them in power, and IS there
any sensible man who siippcses that the
party will not be controlled by the ''solid
south" which placed it in power, and will
be compelled to enact just such measures
/ as this one, at their dictation? Here is the
bill. Read it, and see what you think of
the prospect of being taxed to pay the
claims of southern rebels amounting in the
aggregate to billions of dollars, for theil
| property used or destroyed by tho wal
which they themselves made to destroy
the Union:

The Ohio Catholics.

The Catholic talk for Tilden in Ohio is
increasing. The Catholic Universe, the
organ of the Roman. Church in Northern
Ohio, says: 1.-The Universe cannot be
the friend of the Republicans. Catholics
owe the Republicans nothing. The Re
publican party was conceived and begOt-
ten of the Know NothingS, that diSgraced
the State of OhiO with the B,sdini riots,
burned and destroyed Catholic property,
and as far as in it lay strOve to disfran-
chise every Catholic in the country. The
past anti-Cath0Iic spirit of the Republi-
can party has not changed, and if to-
morrow the Republicans had the power
they would disfranchise every Catholic in
tire i;tfft4.---s-
The Universe will never say to any man
vote the Democratic ticket; but the Uni
verse will say, and dose say to every hon
est man, vote against party as corrupt
and as mIliciously intent to injure Cath
olics as thes Republican party is. Who
have turned the public schools into Prot

EVERY sensible man knows that the
presence of United States troops in South
Carolina will not prevent any man legal
ly entitled to vote from casting his ballot
as he wants to; nor will they interfere i'll
any way with the rights or privileges,
politically or otherwise, of any citizen of
the State. And it is not through fear of
any such interference that the Democratic
howl goes up, over the proclamation oil
President Grant and the order of the war
department.. 1t is because this prompt
and proper action of the President will
put stop to the murder and inflammation
of Republican voters, and make fair
election possible in that State on the 18th
of November; and Il fair election in South
Carolina means victory for Hayes and
Wheeler and the loss to Tiltlen of 81 ''solid
south'' wherein lies his only hope of All
election.

The defense of Governor Tilden against
the allegation that his party will pay the
rebel claims is disingenuous. lie say
that the payment is prohibited by the l4lI.
amendment. The answer il that, first
the Democrats have not accepted and dc
not accept, the FIFTH amendment, and Sc
end, that if they dill, that amend
ment does not forbid the payment of the
claims for property taken or destroyed
by the Union armies, And when Gov
ernor Tfitlen says that If the people will
only give him chance, he Will veto the
payment of the cl'IinUs, the answer is that
the Democrats can put the proposition in
such u shape that he cawH0t veto it; THAT.
if they did not they cUuId as easily COM
pei him to accept it as they forced him to
accept tEe rcpudiation Of the Resumption
act; and, finally. that it is very much
safer to electa President IndcF whom Che
question cannot arise.-N. Y. TiNcS.
Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1876-11-02

Gov. TILDEN has found it necessary to
come out in a letter and announce that he
is not in favor of paying the claims of
southern rebels for property occupied and
destroyed during the rebellion, and will
not give his signature TO any legislative
action making such claims payable by the
U. S. Treasury. 1t is no longer possible
to blind the eyes of the people of tie
North to the fact that there is
cause for alarm in this rebel claim busi-
ness-that "a solid south" for Tilden
neans rebel conspiracy against the
treasury of the governmcnt-andG Gov. Til
den recognized the situation. His letter is
an acknowledgement of the truth of the
! charges in regard to the contemplated raid
of rebel claimants upon the treasury in the
event of Democratic success i'll November
and Tilden's declaration that he will not
give his sanction to any enactments
authorizing the payment of these claims
| will not set the public mind at rest or
| luiet the fears of the success of this con-
| spiracy for the wholesale robbery of the
government, in case the Democracy can
be boosted into full comtroH OF uffrtrs by
/ the vote of the ''solid sOuth.' His dccla-
ration will be taken for what the word OF
a man who has periured himselfto defraud
the government out of his just proportion
of taxes is worth. 1t reveals a deplora-
DIE state of affairs when candidate fol
the presidency feels called upon TO come
put and pledge himself not to be a party
to the robbery of his government, if he i
elected t. the highest office i'll its gift,an
if sufficient lackof confidence in Tilden'
honesty and loyalty existed to make sucl
pledge necessary, it will still continu
to exist after the pledge is made. Gov
Hayes reeds make no pledges, his pas
record is known to the people, and EN-
sures him their confidence

We are in receipt of many letters from
different States, asking our ''private,

Ohio and Indiana for November. We
propose to give that opinion here, public
ly. It is, that Hayes will carry Ohio by
a largely increased majority over the
largest Republican majority on the State
ticket in October. This opinion is shared
privately and personally" by every
well-informed Republican to whom we
have access. AS to Indiana, we have late
and authentic ''private and personal in
formation, of the most reliable character.
1t is, that Hayes will carry that State by
Il decisive majority. We may as well say
i'll this connection, that the best inform
ed men in New York have within a few
weeks-we might say days-come to tht.
decided conclusion that nothing save the
most outrageous frauds in New York
City and Brooklyn can prevent Hayes
from carrying New York, and our friends
are confident that their arrangements are
so perfect to make any considerable
fraudulent vote impossible. They expect
to go into New York with sufficient ma
