Gov. Tilden's record, which he -1uld
haze the country believe, is one which will
no, only bear microscopic inspection but
stamps him as reformer OF the most Wig
orous, virtuous kind, has been the subj ct
OF much arduous research and careful
study. For instance: As the Governors 3
sole pretense 10 being reformer rests upon
the record he has made in the prosecution
of the New York Canal Ring, the New

state Ticket.

We copy the following State Tick
ct from the Charleston Courier. 1t is
written from Marshall county. The
names presented are those of honest
and tried men, and if nominated
would rally to its support, the united
Democracy of the State. Just such
a man as heads the ticket is what
the people want at this time. Those
who know Mr.. Eastman, know him
us an honest man, and one who would
scorn to do a mean act, whether in
politics, or in the everyday business
of life, Besides he is a man of fine
abilities, and possesses the confidence
and respect of the people of the
whole State, His nomination for
Governor would be an evidence that
the party had determined to place
honest men upon the State Ticket;
/ see that the politicians of the
State are very busy making up their
iateCtTo ,th4 nc earliest Convention,
b niif, b cor. adered presumptious
| in me, day hborer, to present a
ticket. | will run the risk however,
of being branded as an officious med
iler in such matters, and propose the
names Of some gentlemen as candi-
dates that | think will suit all classes
of our people, and | hope you will be
kind enough to publish it. 1t will
be seen that all sections of the State
will be represented on this ticket,
which will prevent any sectional diff
fculty, and that the farmers and
working men will not have been for
gotten, and moreover the most of
them are uncompromising, life long
Democrats, and certainly this will
not be an Objectionable feature in the
ticket.
embrace this opportunity also to
remind the party that the working
men will not support any ticket un-
less their class has fair representa-
tions upon it. We intend at the con-
vention to come square to the front
on this point, and present ourclaims,
and if we are told to stand out in the
cold and make room for lawyers and
other professional characters as has
been the case heretofore, then defeat
awaits the party at the October cleo
ton. For come veal or come woe,
we are determined not to be hewers
of wood and drawers of water any
longer. Here is the ticket:
For Governor p. c. Eastman, of
Mason-Farmer.
For Auditor, Moses Grantham, of
Bcrkeley-Farmer.
For State School Superintendent,
Hon. Sylvester Chapman, of Kama
wha-Surveyor and Teacher.
For Treasurer, B. W. Price, of Mar

The Governor.

There are Il number of names pro-
posed in different parts of the State
for other officers of the State ticket,
but the nomination for Governor
seems tacitly conceded to the Third
District and in the names most prom
inently mentioned, and indeed the
only ones really brought forward for
the Office, are those of Hons. P. C..
Eastman, of Mason, and II, NJ. Math-
ews, of Grecnbricr.
They are both gentlemen for whom
we could vote with great readiness,
but it strikes us that Mr.. Easthams'
name at the head of the ticket would
make it acceptable to voters general
~ throughout the State.
Our reasons for this, is that per-
sons corresponding with various pa
pers from all sections of the State,
mention Senator Eastham's name in
connection with the Governship, of
toner than that of any one else
This is good idication of the popu-
lar will.
Mr., Eastman is a plain farmer Il
gentleman of fine education Of pleas
ant manners dignifed in his address
and is well qualified for the position
of Governor. He is not a politician,
and was induced to accept the nomi-
nation as State Senator by the per-
suasion of his friends, he has never
announced himself a candidate for
the office of Governor, but his friends
are sanguine that he will consent to
the use of lis name.
Without disparaging the claims Of
others, we believe Mr.. Eastham's
name would add as much strength
to the Democratic ticket rs that of
any other gentleman who could be
placed on it.
Mr., PC. Eastman, of Mason county,
is in many things the superior of
Mr., Mathews; true, he is not a law
yer; he is not an orator; he is only Il
farmer but he has shown that he
understands the duties of public
servant, and in the trusts imposed
upon him, he has acquitted himself
with honor; he has not trimmed his
sails 20 suit himself to all parties,
but has been firm, true and outspoken
in his opinions; he is active, indus,
trious, first rate executive officer,
and a man of the people, The farm,
crs will vote for him.-Hunltagton

The United States Senate, with its
Republican majority, after several
years of discussion, has finally rejec-
ted the claims of Pinchback to a seat
in that body on the ground, deliber-
atcly stated, that the pretended Leg
islature which went through the
formality of electing him was a
fraud,
Now if this Legislature was n
fraud, it is plain that Kellogg's pre-
tense to be Governor of Louisiana is
equally fraudulent; yet on two differ
cnt occasions President Grant, with
out any authority of law, has used
the army of the United States to
keep this dishonest usurper in power
despite the electors of the State, who
twice rejected him at the polls.
In other words, according to the
decision of the Republican Senate,
Grant has twice unlawfully created
revolution in Louisiana in order to
keep a set of notorious public plum
dorers in posts where they could con.
tinue to prey upon an outraged and
impoverished State, If Grant had
been Emperor as his friend Holden
of North Carolina desired that he
should be, could he more dospotically
have trampled upon thcrights of the
pooplc,-N Y Sun

SENSATIONAL RuMoRs AFLoAT.-
Since the terrible exposure, Wash
ington has been full Of sensational
rumors concerning the official acts of
other public servants. 1t is loudly
proclaimed on the strect-corners and
in the hotels that the Naval Commit
tee have sufficient evidence against
Secretary Robson to warrant crimi-
nal proceedings being taken. The
charges, however, are 50 vague as not
to be entitled to crcdcnce. The old
story of the wife of the Secretary
having presented to several churches
baptismal fonts is revived 1t is also
charged that S. p. Brown, of this city,
formerly a member of the Board of
Public Works, is the head of Il ring
of middlc.men, who have alone been
able to secure contracts for timber
supplies, and who in turn have sold
them out. tits alleged that if Brown
.tld all he knew his evidence would
seriously compromise the Secretary.
1t is further distinctly and positive
ly alleged by an attorney of high
standing in the city that Mr.. Wal
ZACH receives a large sum of money
every month in trust for Mrs. Robe
son, which he loans out sometimes in
the name of her aunt, and that the
money comes from one Of the largest
supply contractors for the Navy De-
partment.-IIa Washington Telegram, Bal
