A Democrat AGAIN.

FRosTrUrG Sept 4, 1876.
Mr.. Editor 1t is laughable to see
how "a Democrat in your last issue
has taken to the facts that put in my
last letter. 1t seems they We're too
big for him he tries to spurn them
and does his best to conjure up a few
things against "Republican party
facts, as he likes to call them, that
any man with common sense can laugh
to shame. Even if they were true they
show nothing but the side they We're
on; any man, let him be federal or
confederate, would rather have a man
say out what he has to say, (even if
they are hard words and stick to
what he said, than to be treacherous
to the flag he proposed to be under,
the same as Hendricks did in Indiana
and Tilden in New York. If they
were SO much for southern rights as
they professed to be why would they
not go and assist in the struggle, and
not as they did in their actionss say,
fight away, lads, we are safe. Ey-
cry coward could do that, and "a
Democrat cannot prove that Hayes
or Wheeler had anything to do with
the mottos in Hell per's programme.
Well, Mr.. D., Hayes and Wheeler can
not carry all republicans on their
backs, therefore, how can you blame
them with any other mans sin? It
seems you have nothing personal TO
say against our candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President.
Well, "Mr. D., you stated in your
last that you could get some more
charges against the Republican candi-
dates, but can you get such charges
that will prove that they or either of
them have finger in any fraud what
ever or anything similar to the follow
ing list against Mr.. Tilden
He (Mr. Tilden) stands convicted
of disloyalty to his country at the
time of her greatest need :; and of such
sympathy with armed treason as to
demand an immediate cessation Of the
war for the preservation Of the Union,
and of holding a peace convention
with the rebellious States.
He stands convicted in the courts
of his country Of making an immense
fortune through the formation Of rail-
way rings, reaping immense profits at
the expense Of the farming popula-
ton, and of the legitimate stocllhold
ers of the roads.
He stands convicted Of breaches Of
trust as attorney, both of railways and
individuals whose business he was en-
gagged to transact.
He stands convicted, over his own
signature of lending the use Of his own
name, if not his active personal assis-
tance, to the planning and manage
ment Of gigantic election frauds by
which Mr.. Hoffman was counted in as
governor of New York, and Mr.. Girls
void defeated.
He stands convicted of being a po-
litical partner of Boss Tweed, and of
holding the closest relations with the
latter at the time he was plundering
New York City to the extent Of many
millions of dollars.
He stands convicted Of continuing
his relations with the most corrupt
members of Tammany-those after
wards sent to the penitentiary-and
of acting with them in political con-
ventions, after the whole nature Of
their villianies was exposed.
He stands convicted on his own
sworn testimony, of receiving $4,000
from Boss Tweed, to aid in the fraud
ulent campaign of 1868 (before allud-
ed to, and of cunningly by evading a
direct reply when pressed to state
whether he did not receive stall fur
ther moneys from the same source.
He stands convicted Of refusing to
assist the movement to break up the
Tweed Ring, until forced to do so by
