POLITICAL NOTES.


lantly fighting rebels, Governor Tilden
was at the Chicago Convention resoly-
ing that the war was failure, and de-
manding ''an immediate cessation Of
hostilities. Indiana Journal. -
Comment of the New York Herald
on the Hamburg riot: $50 far as the
report now goes it looks as il theee
Southern madmen had resolved to elect
Hayes and Wheeler. They are doing
yeoman's service in Augusta One OF
two Hamburg riots will settle the busi-
ness.' -
BY affidavits filed in the u. S. Court,
at New York, by Democrats, Tilden is
charged with stealing 81, ,0O0, 900 from
one railroad. The plaintiffs want a
trial. Tilden has not even filed his an
swer- That is not the way Bristow
did. 1t is not the way any honest man
would do.
In letter to ex-Congressman Hal
sey, Colonel Freese. of Trenton, says
that the Liberals and Independents are
entirely content with the Cincinnati
ticket and the Cincinnati platform.
He thinks there are 5000 such persons
in New Jersey. and that they will vote
solidly for Hayes and Wheeler ts
The Cincinnati Gazette declares that
Governor Hayes letter of acceptance
is clear, pronounced, and unexception-
able and believes that it will create
throughout the country high opinion
of the judgment of the Governor, and
the convection that he takes high
view of the duties of the Office of Presi-
dent.
General Wade Hampton is put for
ward as Democratic candidate for
Governor of South Carolina. The
Charleston. Necs, which has opposed.
as matter of policy, any nomination
by the Democrats, supports Hampton,
and believes he will, more than any
other Democrat, bring out the full vote
of the State.
Richard Mccormick, son-in-law of
Senator Thurman, relates that Thur
man remarked the other day: 1T is
amusing to hear our Democratic peo-
pie and papers speak of my neighbor,
Hayes, as man to be led around by
somebody. There is no man in the
country of sitter will and more posi-
tive character"
Syracuse IN. Y Journal lRep.): We
can name hundred individuals of the
highest character in the Democratic
party who have no expectation what
ever that Tilden can carry New York
or will be elected to the Presidency.
The wish too, is father to the thought
for they know him TO be unworthy, and
in his aspirations he relies solely upon
corrupt and fraudulent means.
1t is noteworthy that in the Demo
cratic controversy over the repeal of
the Resumption act neither the hards
nor the softs pretend to have any prin-
ciple i'm the matter. The former say il
the act is repealed the Democrats can
not carry New Jersey and other Eas-
tern States, while the latter say if it is
not repealed they can't carry Indiana.
1t is a mere question of party success.

Sunset Cox wants to know why 1900
United States troops are kept i'm GER
tain disturbed Southern States. The
Boston Transcript answers: The an
swer is plain-to prevent, if possible,
the murder of peaceable American citi-
zens by zen AS merciless as the Sioux,
and who have embarked in the project
of making the South nearly unit for
the Presidential candidate whom Cox
opposed at st. Louis at the command
of Kelly, and now sustains."
At present Hendricks seems to be do
ing more than anybody else. The fact
of his going to Washington to person.
ally urge the repeal Of the resumption
clause of the act of 1875 will seriously
damage his party. If he should sue
ceed in his endeavors no power on
earth can save the st. Louis ticket
from defeat. Horatio Seymour was
handicapped with Frank Blair and
beaten; it would be a coincidence il
Governor Tilden should meet the same
fate from the same cause. Where's
the fool-killery-N. Y. Ifibude.
The Vernon Banner, published in
Jennings county, this State. informs
all persons who lost farms, land or
money through the swindling corrup-
tion knosn as the Fort Wayne and
Southern railroad that the instrument
by which the swindle was perpetrated
is on file in the recorders Office of that
county, and that Samnel j. Tilden was
the trustee" through whom it was ac-
complished. That was one of the
many similar operations by which he
made money enough to buy the Demo
cratic nomination at st. Louis.
The Rochester Democrat finds in the
writings of Alexander Hamilton sim
gularly apt Characterization of Tilden
and his methods: Talents for low in
trigue and the little arts of popularity
may alone suffice to elevate man to
the first honors of the State; but it will
require other talents and different
kind of merit, to establish him in the
esteem and confidence Of the whole
Union.r This is picture of Tilden,
Photographic IN its faithfulness. 1t
required exactly such man, gifted
with an aptitude for creeping aud
crawling in politics, TO hire the decep-
tive opposition of Tammany to his
nomination at St. Louis, that he might
falsely appear to have exceptional puri-
ty as candidate.
The Democracy of Missouri are be-
ginning the campaign in genuine Con-
federate style. From the county build
ing at Bowling Green floats confede-
rate flag with the names Tilden and
Hendricks inscribed on it. Writing to
the Chicago Inter Ocean with reference
to the matter correspondent says:
"You may think this strange; but yet
it Is the sentiment of the Democracy
here. The resolution of 1864, the Con-
federate flag. and Tilden and Hen
bricks make strong trio in this part
of Dixie" The author of the letter in
a private note, adds that those hosting
the flag boast of their rebel sentiments
and take no occasion to, conceal them
