tors with his department, an ambassador TO
England censured in dishonorable specula-
ton, the Presidents private secretary barely
escaping conviction upon trial for guilty COM
plicity In frauds upon the revenue, Secrc-
tary of War impeached for high crimes and
confessed misdcmeanors, the demonstration is
complete that the first step in reform must
be the peoples choice of honest men from
another party, lest the disease of one polili-
cal organization infect the body polite and
thereby making no change of men or party,
we can get no change of measures and no
reform.
All these abuses, wrongs and crimes, the
product of sixteen years ascendancy of the
Republican party, create u necessity for re-
form confessed by Republicans themselves,
but their reiormers are voted down in con-
vention and displaced from cabinet; the
party's mass of honest voters is poweress to
resist the $4,000 ofiice-holders, its leaders
and guides. Reform can only be had by a
peaceful civic revolution. We demand n
change of system, change of administration
change OF parties, that we may have q
change of measures and of men.

Political Notes,

The Chinese have as much trouble rs the
rest of mankind in trying to understand the
Cincinnati platform.
The upshot of ex-senator Fentons
opinion of Cincinnati is that the platform is
meaningless, and the ticket about fourth
rate, but that he will CORDIALLY support
both"
The Pittsburg Post has happy thought.
1t says :"The Cincinnati platform was made
for Blaine. With Hayes on it we have the
funny spectacle of Tom Thumb riding nm
elephant"
The Presidential election will take place
November 7. In September Arkansas, Yer
mont and Maine, and in October Ohio, Indi-
ana, West Virginia and Georgia will hold
elections for State officers.
The machine that runs for Granlism is
to continue to run for Hayes. The success
Of Hayes means continuation of Gantism.
If so stubborn man as Grant is but dough
in the hands of the rings, what shall we say
of MIN whom the rings seek to make his sue
cessor? Besides, Grant indorses Hayes,
takes him TO his arms, adopts him ms his own
ftyoritc.-BOst0n Post.

Democratic Nominations.
TILDEN AND HENDRICKS.

In the selection of Tilden and Hen
bricks 10 lead the Democratic hosts in the
battle against corruption, extravaganza
and misrulc in the administration of the
federal government, the st. Louis Coven-
tinn has acted wisely and well. Govern
or Tilden's name in such contest carries
with it the assurance of victory. He is
recognized as the embodiment of the spirit
"i reform which has taken deep hold OF
the American people, and his persistent
determined and successful efforts to reform
the gigantic abuses in his own State wor,
thily entitle him to lead the Democratic
Reform party of tho nation.
The selection Of Governor Hendricks
of Indiana, has been equally judicious. A
man of incorruptible integrity, wise and
prudent statesman, sterling Democrat
his nomination will touch responsive
chord in the great West, which will be
heard with marked effect upon the day OF
election.
The declaration of principles adopted
by the convention is one that must ap,
peal with Irresistible force to the people
of the United States. Its utterances arc
not uncertain, meaningless or vague, but
in strong, plain English it boldly assert.
Democratic principles, and is not silent
upon the direct issues of the hour. Il
brcathcs the spirit of Reform in every line
and pledges the Democratic party, in tho
clearcst and most unmistakable language
to such an economy in the use Of public
money, and such wise financial system
as will most speedily bring about a return
to specie payments. Altogether it EN-.
bodies what the people desire and what
they expect to secure by the election o.
Tilden and Hendricks ucxt November.
Although the ticket is strong one, W.
would not advise Democrats to Quietly
take it for granted it will be elected with
out an arduous struggle. The Republican
party possess the stronghold, from which
they must be dislodgcd. They have a

THE DAVIS CAsE.-Thc case of Mr.. and

near Dublin, last Thursday, by Sheriff Han

st. Johns, Michigan, last March, Hugh Alb
ernalhy, Mrs, Davis's great uncle, has Gre
ated considerable excitement in Dublin dis,
trct, where the parties formerly resided, and
where they are well known. The trouble
and distress occasioned by the arrest, has
proved nearly fatal TO Mrs. Davis, who is in
delicate health. On Saturday night she was
so i'll that it was thought she would die, but
before morning she grew considerably better,
On Sunday George Y. Maynadier and VIM.
Young, Esqs., counsel for the accused, sued
out q writ of habeas corpus before Judge
Walters. The writ was rcturnablc imme
diaiely, but the Sheriff, as is customary,
awaited himself of the three days allowed by
law in which to make his return On Mon
day Sheriff Pencil, of st. Johns, reached
Annapolis with rcquisilion from the Coy.
ernor of Michigan for the surrender of the
accused. The requistion was granted, but
subsequently Sheriff lIanway received in
slructions from Annapolis not to surrender
Mr.. aud Mrs Davis until further inquiry
was made into the case. In the meantime
they have been made rs comfortable rs pos
sble by Sheriff IIanway, who has furnished
them room in his own house.
On Wednesday Messrs. Young and May
I n n
ed Annapolis to confer with Governor Car
roll in regard to the case. Sheriff Hanway
has since received orders TO hold Mr. and
Mrs. Davis, until further instructions are re-
received from him. Sheriff Pencil left for
his home to-day.
The accused bore II most exemplary char
acter before going West, and their friends, n
large number of whom have called upon
them, assert that it is impossible for them
to have committed the crime with which
they are charged.
Sheriff Pencil states that no inquest was
held ON the remains of the deceased Mr.. Alb
ernathy, and that he knows nothing about
the merits of the case.
Mrs Davis syas that her uncle was a man
of Incorporate habits and died as she believes
from the cffe6ts of spree. Her condition
of health is such that it is doubtful if she
could at this time undergo the long journey
to Michigan except at the risk of her life.
