The RefOrmer.

The Now York Times makes som G
revelations regarding Tiden's private
affairs, which indicate that he has
not always been hard-money man.
We extract as follows:
"The revelations concerning Til

Michigan continue. There were
fifty eight companies engaged in the
manufacture of Currency the re-
turns of Two of which are thus stated:
Iron Cliff, (Tildens) 552 90! 90
New York, (Tilden's) 2,ll3 $780, &c
ssThe whole amount of the curreh-
cy issued in Michigan was over $780,
000, 900, and it had an exclusive run
from 1868 until 1874, when some per-
sons were indicted for counterfeited
it, and the court discharged the prison
ers on the ground that the currency it,
self ,0as fraudulent and illegal, and 1t
,UaS no crime to counterfeit it. At the
same time, the revenue officers began
to demand the internal revenue tax,
and began to tako evidence as to the
amount in circulation. The tax was
10 per cent and for the twelve years
Tilden's share amounted to at least
S1O,OOO,0O0. But by some secret mani

ABOUT the time when Samuel j.
Tildcn said, " This war is a perfect
outrage, and I will lend no assistance
what ever to its prosecution"
Thomas A. Hendricks was making
a speech at Shelbyville, Ind, and
useing such language as the follow
ing 81 am ready to compromise al

LAMAR's apology for the Massacre
at Hamburg is that "the responsible
ity rests with the weak governments
foisted upon the South" Lamar is
about right. The Tilden army, of
which he is one, is pretty strong. 1t
required four years of Republican
strength to show them we could whip
them, and yet they are not willing to
stay whipped. We should have
treated them as they deserved. Then
Lamar would not be where he could
reproach us by calling the govern
ment given them weak. Hill would
not be in position to scandalize
Union soldiers. The other sixty per-
jured traitors would not be where they
could give offices to their fellow rebels
and admirers of assassins, while kick
ing out the soldiers who had saved a
country for them to come back to.
Yes, under the circumstances, we
have given rather weak government.
If half the people of Grant County
were murderers and horse thieves the
other half would have weak county
Government, especially if large pro-
portion of citizens in other parts of
the State by voice and vote encourage
ed the murderers and horse thieves.

Government Stealing.

So long as human nature remains
unchanged, there will be frauds to a
greater or less extent. No law nor
officers of the law can prevent occas-
ional dishonesty, any more than they
can prevent murder. In this respect
government must stand its chances
with banks and private corporations,
all of which suffer from the unfaithful-
ness of employees. No administration
has been omniscient enough to guard
entirely against frauds and specala-
tons. But facts and figures show
that in comparison with former ad-
mlnistrations that of President
Grant makes the most favorable
showing. In proportion to the
amount of money collected and dis
bursed the losses have been compare.
lively much less. For proof look at
the following extract, and when DEM
ocratic performers" howl about Re.
publican stealings, challenge them to
comparison with their own and for
mer records:
An official Treasury statement has
just been printed in reply to call
from the Senate, whereof the salient
points are printed in letter to the
Toledo Blade, showing the losses by
defaulting officers, thefts, frauds, etc.,
which the government has sustained
during the past forty years. The
tables are made up of two parts
first the ''net loss" which covers only
the action of officers and agents;
second, the "gross loss," which
embraces the double handling of
money, the negotiation and records
ofloans, etc. The table below is made
up on this plan:

These figures are their own best

tration. The net proportional loss
of the "good old times" when the
Democratic party was in power, was
frow eight to twenty-six times as
much as during Grants Admins
tration. The net loss of the Demo-
cratic Administration, inaugurated
twenty years ago, was $s.77. The
next Administration was Republican,
and the loss was reduced to $2.O7,-a
clear reduction of 1910 on every
thousand. The loss in Grants first
term was $3.50 less than that of
Lincoln's or that Of Johnson's. The
loss during the second term was ST.
OIL, the lowest on record. The "gross
loss" has fallen off equally with the
net loss, it being during Grants
second term only &c cents on the
thousand, which is only about one.
eightieth of the total in Van Buren's
time, and about one-thirtieth of that

arising from the unna tural association
in which they have found themselves.
They realize the fact that they went
after false gods and Notwithstanding
many of them were influenced, in
their departure from old friends, by
honest purpose, yet experience has
taught them that their hopes of re-
form can never be reached within a
party SO deeply sunken in political
iniquity as is the Democratic party of
this country. The result has been
that the Liberal Republican," all
over the land are marshalling them
selves under their old banner and
announcing their loyalty to the true
faith. They proclaim their determln-
alton to support Hayes and Wheeler.

They Can't Forget it, and it KIND %
Sticks in Their Crops.

A granger in the northwest part
OF the state, in letter to the State
Journal, tells how it is up that way ::
Among the Reform.anti-monopo-
list-grangers, &C., there are some who
cannot seem to forget that Tllden
was an attorney for the Credit Mo-
bilier;
That he was the trusted and con-
fdential friend of Tweed, and sent
out the secret circular that enabl d
Tweed to stuff the ballot box in one
ward of New York city with about
as many votes as there were inhabit-
ants in it-and thus elect Hoffman
governor
That he refused to sign he call for
a Union meeting in the dark days of
the rebellion
That be reported a resolution in
the Democratic National Convention
declaring the war failure and re-
curing cessation of hostilities (not
on the part of the greys, but on the
part of the loyal boys in blue);
That he, as commissioner, with
two others, appropriated two humid
dred and eighty thousand dollars of
bonds to themselves, for pay for
their services;
That, after being hand in glove
with Tweed, and no doubt profting
in common with others thereby, be
turned his back on his old friend, or
at least pretended to,
That, although having full power,
he has not punished the sheriff who,
to put the mildest construction on
the matter, permitted Tweed to es-
cape by the grossest and most culpa-
BILE negligence, although he assured
the country he would, if Tweed was
not recaptured by the sheriff;
That be, through his friends, has
continued to work up q great howl
over one single plunderer, among the
hundreds of them, of the public funds
of his state, that he has only succeed
ed in putting the paltry sum OF 49,
900 back into his state treasury out
of the millions that is admitted to
have been stolen;
That he talks loudly of civil SER
vice reform, while appointing the
most violent and Objectionable parti-
zans to place, to the exclusion OF
more deserving and better qualified
men-in q word, that he is in small
way, and as far as bis ability goes, a
foxy Van Buren,, ambitious, selfish
politician.

THE Madison Patriot DEM just

The Madison Patriot DEM just
before the Democratic Convention,
spoke of Tilden in this wise:
"Besides being a hard-soft Shin
plastor-any-thing-to- make dollars
man, Governor TiIden Is q great
railway shark, with double row of
teeth all around. Wouldn't it be o
cool operation to ask the nearly So
600 Reform voters of Wisconsin,
who oppose railway monopolies, to
vote for Samuel J. Tilden ? Some of
them from party punctilio, might do
it, but the great mass would rebel
not only against Tilden, but
against the leaders who would lead
the masses into the great slaughter
