Z. M. Crosswell has been nominated for
Governor of Michigan by the Republicans.
and AIonzo Sessions for Lieutenant Cover
nor.
This touching advertisement which an
peared in the st. Louis Globe Democrat
day or two ago is still of interest: as. J.T.
Have looked in vain for your letter-write
and all will be forgiven"
1t is sad TO think of a genuine relormer
being interrupted in the composition of his
letter OF acceptance Of Presidential fsbmina-
tion by suit asking him TO refund S3S4,OOO
and interest conveyed" from a railroad cor
poratlon; but this is the misfortune which has
happened to Mr.. Tildeu, and the organs are
silent
Governor TIlden has two answers to make:
One to the committee which announced 10
him his nomination to the Presidency; the
The other 10 the swindled stockholders of The
Terre Haute Railroad.
This plea for Republican harmony comes
irom the Boston Advertiser: ''The impress
sion has gone abroad that many oil the re-
cent changes in the civil service have been
made TO punish one sci of men who have in
CURED the Presidents displeasure, and to
crafty others who have had a hand in stir
ring up his animosty. This impression is no
doubt exaggerated in many quarters, but it.
ought not TO exist al all; and it to in the power
OF the President and his friends who are ap-
plaudlng his recent rem oyals, to put an end
to IL bsiore 1t does any further mischief.
There is but one 4hing that eau block the
way TO great Republican triumph this year,
ana that is an attempt of factions in the Re-
publican party to get the advantage of one
another. ID is no time now to indulge per-
soDal sptes in high places or low; there is
too much at stake.''
Those best acquainted with Mr.. Tndens
habits are not surprised at his delay in writ
ing his letter of acceptance. His whole cor
respondence, they say, is always behind. He
has notlyet answered Mr.. Greeley's letter,
written eight ago, charging him with the re-
sponsibility of the baliot-box stuffing in New
York city.-Detrou Post.
About the time when Samuel j.. Tilden
said, This war is a perfect outrage, and L
will lend no assistance whatever to its prose-
cution," Thomas A. Hendricks was making
speech at Shelbyville, Ind, and using such
language as the following: 81 am ready TO
compromise at any time. II there is any
man who desires to continue fighting aud
spending the peoples money, do net sym
pathize with him. 80 .. -... ---.

I IT is confidently predicted that the report
of the Boutwell, special committee ON the al
legged election outrages in Mississippi will be
CT such a character as to make il very ques
tionable whether Mr.. Lamar will be admit
ted as Senator. In fact, there are some ins
dications that the committee win report tina
itappears from the evidence that the legisla
ture which elected Mr. Lamar was so largely
composed OF men who were chosen by unlaw-
ful means that its acts are invalid. 1t is said
that the testimony en- this point is so over
whelmiDg that no fair-minded man, whatever
his political creed, can doubt that tae elec-
tion was carried by an organized general sys-
tenn of intimidation, fraud and murder.

THE following, according to the Washing
ton correspondent of the Boston Adoertiser,
is the history of Gov. Hendricks letter to a
member of Congress urging him and others
to get report from the banking and curren-
cy committee. About the 10th of July State
Auditor Henderson and State Treasurer
Shaw of Indiana came to Washington In Mr.,
Hendricks interest. They told the hard
money Democrats that it was altogether a
mistaken idea that Governor Hendricks and
the Democrats of Indiana wanted an uncon-
ditional repeal of the resumption act; that
what was wanted was repeal of the date
clause, and that the st. Louis platform was
in perfect accord with Hendricks views.
They were perfectly willing the committee
should report at some time some bill prepar.
ing the way to specie resumption. In turn
they were informed that it was mistaken
idea thai. the hard money men were respon-
sible for the delay of the committee in re-
porting; that Holman, Landers and others
lof that ilk were strong enough to, and would
such bill came into the House, reject all
but ar unconditional repeal, Henderson's
emissaries went to Holman and others and
told them they were not acting as they should.
Their protestations were apparently of no
avail. They returned home abou. the goth
OF the month, and upon hearing their re-
port Hendricks wrote on the oath the letter
OF which the substance was gwen week
ago. 1t is pretty well known that the letter
was addressed to Franklin Landers.
THERE are encouraging Republican reports
from all parts CT North Carolina. The party
never was better united. The nomination of
Judge Settle for Governor is very strong
one, and it is claimed that, in addition to the
coioled vote, he will poll more white votes
than any Republican candidate has done
since 1868. The highest vote the Confed
crates ever cast was 9S,217. in 1874; and
the highest vote. of the Republicans at a
state election was for Governor in 1S72,-
viz. $500. The Republicans now claim
that they will poll this fall 100000; and
they do they will carry the State. The Re
publicans have but. one member in the
present Congress out Of eight, but they ex-
pect TO elect three, the same as they did foul
years ago. Quite number of Union men
who have been acting with the Confederatas
have declared for Hayes and Settle ---e
