In accordance with previous announce
ment Hon. Benjamin II. Bristow OF Ken
lucky made his opening campaign speech
in this State at Burlington on Tuesday af-
ternoon. His reception in that city was of
the most enthusiastic character. An audi
ence of 5000 people listened 10 his address.
The impression which Mr.. Bristow made
was of the most marked and favorable
character, and he proved himself in the
best sense very strong speaker. At the
conclusion of his speech addresses were
made by Judge Poland, Hon. Levi Under
wood, and Hon. George C.. Benham. In
the evening Mr.. Bristow visited ST. Adams
and was welcomed by an audience of fully
1000 people. Both in Burlington and in
st. Adams there were brilliant illumina-
lions and torchight professions in the eve
ming. Mr.. Bristow's appearance in Mont
pelier ON Wednesday was the signal for
another grand ovation, and the gathering
in the flernoon was The largest and most
enthusiastic which that place has seen in
many year.

1t is very common occurrence for cases to

The false figures of Mr.. Tilden's letter are
being exposed and held up to public con-
domination on all sides. The Albany Eve
ming Journal has demonstrated that in his
exhibit of New York State taxes and finan-
ces he has given fraudulent figures, and
this is the more easy of belief, for it is plain
that in the treatment Of the national fnan-
ces he has resorted to similar practices.
For instance, he states that ''the Federal
taxes of the past eleven years reach the gi-
gantic sum of four thousand five hundred
Millions" whereas the total Federal taxes
for the past eleven years do not reach four
thousand millions, and Mr.. Tilden's stale
mont is more than five hundred millions
wide of the truth.
But the statement is still more false in
what it implies than in what it says. 1t is
meant TO convey the impression that the
Govern ment has cost 81, SOC, 000, 600 in eleven
years, leaving out of view the facts that
$3.50, 900, 900 of debt have been paid over
81, 500, 900, 900 ofinterest on the debt have
been met nearly $500, OOO, 900 of war claims
have beeu extinguished. These have moth
ing to do with the running expenses of the
government. They grow out of the Demo
cratic rebellion.
The Chicago Tribune says the meanness
and unfairness of Mr.. Tilden's statement
may be thus exhibited: HE states that in
eleven years of peace the government con-
sumed $500, 900 of taxes, leaving it to
be assumed that the Government expend-
ed annually for its support an average ex-
ceedng SI09, 000, 600, when the fact was, that,
during the eleven years Of peace, the ex-
pendilures for the support OF the Govern
meut were 81 ,452. 4lO,053, or an average Of
sl32, 200, OOO,-a difference of S275,OOO,O 900 a

The Rutland Globe in an article COM
menting on the letter OF Mr.. Childs of Ben
nington accepting the Democratic nomina-
ton for Congress in the first district, makes
very plain statement of reasons why the
Democrats should not be restored 10 pow
err
Mr.. Childs informs the public that he
bore IAN humble part" in the war for the
preservation of the Union, which secured
forever national unity and supremacy. He
says the questions of to-day relate to the
return of lasting reconciliation, peace and
prosperity to the whole people of re-
united and common country. Granted
but is this peace and reconciliation to be
accomplished by the present policy and
movements of the democratic parly7 Has
the Congress just closed, where a demo-
cratic majority obtains in the House Of
Representatives, accomplished anything
looking toward national unity? Have not
the majority by their acts and utterances
unsettled the policy of reconciliation,
peace, and restoration? Are the disloyal
letters aud acls Of Samuel j. Tilden before,
during, and since the rebellion, calculated
" luz Ol tue
so much to be de .ired for the prosperity of
the whole people, especially those Of the
south who are laboring under the burdens
imposed upon them? viii freedom of
speech and political rights he secured by
the elevation of the Democratic party? Far
from it. The influence of the dsloyal Ian
guage of the representatives of the Demo-
cratic party in Congress have had ten
dency to unsettle the feeling Of unity and
fraternity, if any existed, and the same
spirit is manifested that was the underly-
ing cause of the rebellion. If such is the
lact-and recent acts of outrage fully prove
it-what have the American people to ex-
pect at the hands of Democratic presi-
dent controlled by his party? There is no
hope of restoration of peace or tho prolec-
ton of individuals, in right Of speech and
perhaps of property, under Democratic
rule. These are facts as patent 10 Mr..
Childs as to every other soldier who serv-
ed in the war of the rebellion, notwith-
standing the glowing phrases embodied in
his letter of acceptance.

and Mr.. Wheeler and the consistent course
OF the Republican party in this regard,
leave no intelligent person at loss to de-
eide which party will be likely TO lead the
country soonest and safest TO hard money
and financial prosperity.
And as with this, so with tho civil SER
vice reform. II is on record that the first
move in the direction of genuine reform
of the civil service was inaugurated by a
Republican congressman, and that the
ranks of that party have furnished almost
its only advocates since. Gov. Hayes no
less than six years ago declared himself in
favor of thorough and radical reform In
the civil service, and he has since reiterated
his views on this point in unmistakable
terms. Though President Grants efforts
in this direction failed, ostensbly because
of lack of support from Congress, we are
confident that had lie set out upon this task
with the same determination that he evinc-
ed when he started on his Virginia cam
paign, in 1864, he would have gained as
complete and glorious a victory. Gov.
Hayes, If elected, will have powerful re-
form element at his back, and we believe
that Congress will ere long yield TO the
popular demand and place, or permit the
President 10 place, the civil service upon
footing whereby capability and an honest
perfor nance Of official duty, rather than
personal or party service, shall be the basis
disappointment and promotion. Assuredly,
the party which has already inaugurated
this measure, as well as other great re-
forms now in successful operation, will be
the one most likely 10 carry it forward TO
completion.
Which ever of these great issues, then,
we may deem the most important and
pressing at this time, we are at no loss 10
determine which of the two great parties
in the field can best be relied upon to bring
about the desired result. But believing,
as we do. that the question involving the
rights of humanity and the preservation of
the fruits of four years war with seces-
sion and slavery ought to take precedence
over all considerations Of mere policy and
method, we feel it TO be our duty, and the
duty of every patriotic citizen, TO labor ear
nestly and untiringly fo- the success of the
Republican party in the pending elections.

A thing which hurts Tilden in his own
Stale is his peculiarly democratic kind of
civil service reform, which consists SIM
ply in putting those men in Office who can
help him most in his political aspirations.
He.has made no appointments in this State
which have had any other object in view,
and he has, in one case at least, refused TO
remove an officer for glazing neglect of du-
ty. Men read his complacent remarks
about reforming the civil service by "hold-
ing to account and displacing untrust-
wort by and incapable subordinales," and
then inquire why lie has not removed
Sheriff Conner for allowing Tweed TO es-
cape? Neither the sheriff nor any of his
subordlnates have ever been punished for
that disgraceful and utterly inexcusable
neglect of duty. If this is a specimen Of
his civil service reform as governor, what
would he do at Washington with an in
Vulnerable army of office seekers, hungry
TO starvation point with a fast of 10 years
duration --NeiO York Letter to Boston
Advertiser.

Mr. Daker's DecIination.

Editor OF tie hGnir: am sorry TO see
by your last issue that Mr.. Baker declines
our antimasonic nomination for Assistant
Judge, an Office which that gentleman
seems every way capable Of filling with
credit 10 the county and himself.
1t is generally admitted that reform in
politics is needed, and that both the Re-
publican and Democratic parties have
proved corrupt. 1t would seem therefore,
that party which il identified with the
purest and best politics of the State-the
antimasonic party, offers the greatest
promise of reform.
If our party is not sustained, the Demo-
cratic party will increase in strength; for
honest, open, and fairdealing men are get
ting desperately tired Of Republican in
efficiency and corruption.

THE HELL GATE ExPLosIoS.-It is an-
nounce d that the explosion at He'll Gate is
fixed for the afternoon of Tuesday, Septem-
Der 5. The explosive used will consist of
nitro glycerine, dynamite, and rend-rock,
65, 900 pounds in all. The first, which will
others, will serve TO blast out the heaviest
rocks at the bottom of the workings. The
reDdrock is to be used to annihilate the col
umns which as yet support the arches,
while the dy Mantle will shalter the roof of
the tunnels. These explosives, inclosed in
tubes of Tin or zinc, eight inches in length
and an inch in diameter, with copper screw
heads, will be inserted in drill holes num-
bering in all about 1900 which were bored
by drill. The drill holes a re from 8 to %
feet in depth, and will be filled for two
thirds of their extent with the cartridges
described, set end on end. With the up
permost cartridge connection with the cleo
trio battery used for firing the charge will
be established by two wires representing
the positive and negative forces, and coat
ed amer the manner of the wires OF tele-
graphic instrument with gutta-percha. The
conclusion of the explosion of the upper
cartridge is expected TO be sufficient to dis
charge the others. The entire 1900 wires
will connect with one battery of peculiar
construction, especially calculated for this
purpose, and, as a consequence, all the dis
charges will occur simultaneously.
